HDD Protection
(preinstalled with
some models)
Using the acceleration sensor built in the
computer, the HDD Protection function detects
vibration, shocks, and other such occurrences in
the computer, and automatically moves the HDD
(Hard Disk Drive) head to the safe position to
reduce the risk of damage that could be caused
to the disk by head-to-disk contact. Refer to the
Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection

Chapter 4, Operating Basics , for details.
The HDD Protection function does not guarantee that the hard disk drive
will not be damaged.
