SHIPTRAK
Parks the heads of a hard disk at the innermost tracks in prepa-
ration for moving the drive unit.
Notes aJ;ld Suggestions
• Jarring your hard disk can cause its recording heads to bump
against the highly polished surface of the recording media,
destroying stored data. Such jarring can easily happen when
you move your hard disk drive.
SHIPTRAK moves all your hard disk's recording heads onto
the innermost tracks where information is not stored, and
where such inadvertent bumping cannot destroy data.
• Always use SHIPTRAK before relocating your hard disk or
anytime you think it might be bumped or jiggled.
• After running SHIPTRAK, immediately turn off the system.
Wait at least 15 seconds before turning on the power again.
• Your hard disk is a precision instrument, built to extremely
close tolerances. Always handle it very carefully, even after
parking its heads with SHIPTRAK.
