Getting Started

Caring for your computer

Moving the computer

Before moving your computer, even across the room, make sure all
drive activity has ended (the internal storage drive and optical drive
indicator lights stop glowing) and all external peripheral cables are
disconnected.

Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or by the back.
Doing so could damage the system.

Using a computer lock

You may want to secure your computer to a heavy object such as
your desk. The easiest way to do this is to purchase an optional
computer lock cable. For more information on purchasing a cable
lock, visit

To secure the computer:

1

Wrap the cable through or around some part of a heavy object.

Make sure there is no way for a potential thief to slip the cable
off the object.

2

Pass the locking end through the loop.

3

Insert the cable’s locking end into the security lock slot on your
computer, then engage the locking device.

The computer is now securely locked.
