Cleaning Your Keyboard

From time to time, your keyboard keys may get dirty with use. Clean them with a
clean cloth that has been lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.

Moving Your System

Perform the following steps before moving or shipping the system:
1. Back up all files stored on the hard disk drive.
2. Turn off the system, the external peripherals, and the monitor or terminal.
3. Disconnect the power cord for each power supply from the wall outlet and from
the back of the system unit.
4. Disconnect the monitor or terminal, keyboard, mouse, and any other cables from
the back of the system unit.
5. Package the system as described in the next section, "Packing Your System."

Packing Your System

If you are moving the system a short distance (from one room to another in the same
building), you do not need to pack it. If you are shipping the system or moving it by
vehicle, pack it to avoid damage.
Pack the system in the original packing material and containers. If you did not save
the boxes and packing material, use a sturdy carton and padding to avoid damage.

Installing Your System at a New Location

After moving the system to a new location, follow the installation instructions that
came with your system, and the information in Chapter 2, to unpack and install it.
Ensure that the new location conforms to the recommendations provided in "Selecting
a System Location" in Chapter 2, "Hardware Installation."
