Operating Basics

Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection

There is a function for reducing the risk of damage on HDD in this

computer.
Using the acceleration sensor built in the computer, HDD Protection detects

vibration, shocks and similar signs in the computer, and automatically

moves the HDD head to a safe position in order to reduce the risk of

damage that could be caused by a 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.
