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, 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.
When vibration is detected, the following message is displayed, and the
icon in the notification area of the taskbar is changed to the protection
state. This message is displayed until the OK button is pressed or 30
seconds pass. When vibration subsides, the icon returns to the normal
state.
