Taking the computer home
When you move between your office and home you will need to
prepare your computer for the short trip.
Preparing the computer
After disconnecting your computer from the desktop, prepare the unit
as follows:
1 Remove all media from the drives. Loaded media can damage the
drive heads during transit.
2 Pack the computer in a protective case that is padded to guard
against knocks. Make sure that the unit cannot slide around inside
the case.
Caution: Avoid packing items next to the top of the computer, as
this could result in damage to the screen.
What to bring with you
If you don't have spare items at home, it is advisable to take along the
AC adapter and this User's Guide.
Special considerations
To protect your computer in transit, it is advisable to pay attention to
the following:
•
Minimize the effect of temperature changes. Keep your computer
with you instead of placing it in storage holds.
•
Avoid leaving your computer in a hot car.
•
Changes in temperature and humidity can cause condensation to
form within your computer. Before turning the computer on,
allow it to return to room temperature, and then check the screen
for signs of condensation. If the temperature change is greater
than 10°C (18°F), allow the computer to come to room
temperature slowly by placing it in a room with a temperature
between the outside and room temperatures.
