Moving the computer
The computer is designed for rugged durability. However, a few simple
precautions taken when moving the computer will help assure trouble-free
operation.
„ Make sure all disk activity has ended before moving the computer.
Check the Disk and SelectBay indicators on the computer, the LED
on the CD-ROM drive eject button and the indicators on any external
disk drives.
„ If a diskette is in the diskette drive, remove it.
„ If a CD is in the CD-ROM drive, remove it. Also make sure the
CD-ROM drawer is securely closed.
„ Disconnect the external diskette drive and all other peripherals before
moving the computer.
„ Turn off the power to the computer.
„ Close the display. Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or
back (where the connectors are located).
„ Close all covers.
„ Disconnect the AC adaptor if it is connected.
„ Use the carrying case when transporting the computer.
Heat dispersal

that triggers a cooling fan or lowers the CPU operating speed.
You can use the Power Saver Utility (Windows 95 only) or the TSETUP
program to select one of three temperature controls.
