UNPACKING GUIDELINES

Unpack the computer and save all packing material and cartons in case you ever need to transport the
computer. The shipping material was carefully designed to provide optimum cushioning and protection.
When re-shipping or otherwise transporting your computer, you must use the original packaging to
ensure safe shipment.
When moving your computer, handle it gently. The hard disk in the main unit has moving parts and
delicate read/write heads. Rough handling could damage the drive and prevent your system from
operating properly.
If the enclosure contains a 5.25" diskette drive, the drive may contain an insert which protects the
read/write heads. Do not remove this insert until you have installed the computer and are ready to start
using it. The drive may be damaged if you move the computer and it does not contain the protective
insert.
Unpack the terminal which will serve as the operator terminal and set it aside for now.
