Shipping Preparation
Follow these steps when preparing to ship your computer:
1. Back up the hard drive files onto PD discs, tape cartridges, or diskettes.
Be sure the backup media is not exposed to electrical or magnetic
impulses while stored or in transit.
NOTE: The hard drive locks automatically when the system power is turned
off.
2. Remove and store any program diskettes from the diskette drives.
3. Insert a blank diskette into the diskette drive to protect the drive while in
transit. Do not use a diskette on which you have stored or plan to store
data.
4. Turn off the computer and external devices.
5. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, then from the
computer.
6. Disconnect the system components and external devices from their
power sources, then from the computer.
NOTE: Verify that all boards are seated properly and secured in the board
slots before shipping the computer.
7. Pack the system components and external devices in their original
packing boxes or similar packaging with sufficient packing material to
protect them.
