Transporting the computer
Use common sense when handling the computer; hard disks
in particular can be damaged if the computer is dropped or
handled roughly. As a precaution, back up (copy) the contents
of your hard disks to a network drive, PCMCIA non-volatile
memory card or diskettes before moving the computer.
Don’t try to move the computer while it is plugged into the
AC power supply or with any other cables, including network
cables, still attached.
If you need to transport the computer any great distance, use
the original packing materials.
If you intend to use the computer in another country, see the
next section for some important advice.
Using the computer in another country
Your computer arrives ready to work with the commercial AC
power supply available in the country in which it is first sold.
If you plan to use the computer in another country, you should
first check the following facts about your destination:
1. The voltage and frequency of the commercial AC
power supply.
2. The type of plug required for the AC power outlets.
AC power supply
Check the power rating labels on the rear of the computer’s
system unit and its monitor to ensure that they are compatible
with the AC power supply.
Warning
It is imperative that the computer is set to the correct voltage range
before use. If not, the machine may be irreparably damaged.
