To prepare the computer for shipping, follow these guidelines:

1. Back up the hard drive files onto diskettes (or onto an

external hard drive or other external storage device, if
available). To prevent data loss, do not expose your backup
diskettes to electrical or magnetic impulses.

2. Remove all diskettes from the the diskette drives; remove

the CD from the CD-ROM drive, if any.

3. Turn off the computer and external devices.

4. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, then

from the computer.

5. Disconnect your printer and any other external devices

from their power sources, then from the computer.

Make sure all boards are seated properly in the expansion slots
with their retaining screws in place before shipping the computer.

6. Pack the computer in its original packing box or in similar

packaging with sufficient packing material to protect it.
