and allow it to cool down - a failure to follow this instruction may result in
minor heat injury.

follow this instruction could result in damage to computer, computer
failure or loss of data.

damage to either the computer and/or the card resulting in product

Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection
This computer has a function for reducing the risk of damage on the hard
disk drive.
Using an acceleration sensor built into the computer, TOSHIBA HDD
Protection detects vibration shocks and similar signs of movement of the
computer, and automatically moves the Hard Disk Drive head to a safe
position to reduce the risk of damage that could be caused by head-to-disk
contact.
■ The TOSHIBA HDD Protection function does not guarantee that the
hard disk drive will not be damaged.
■ TOSHIBA HDD Protection cannot be used in models that are equipped
with SSD.
