Moving your computer<br />

Take the following precautions before moving your computer.<br />

1. Back up all files and data from the hard disk drive. There are a variety of backup programs available<br />

commercially. Your operating system also might have a backup program that you can use. Lenovo<br />

provides the Rescue and Recovery program to help you back up and restore data. See “Performing<br />

backup and recovery operations” on page 38 for more information.<br />

2. Remove all media (diskettes, compact discs, tapes, and so on) from the drives.<br />

3. Turn off the computer and all attached devices. Your hard disk drive automatically parks the read/write<br />

head in a nondata area. This prevents damage to the hard disk drive.<br />

4. Unplug the power cords from electrical outlets.<br />

5. Disconnect communication cables, such as modem or network cables, from the outlets first, and then<br />

disconnect the other ends from the computer.<br />

6. Note where any remaining cables are attached to the computer; then, remove them.<br />

7. If you saved the original shipping cartons and packing materials, use them to pack the units. If you are<br />

using different cartons, cushion the units to avoid damage.<br />
