Internal Hard Drives
¡
Do not intentionally drop the computer. The unit is designed to withstand the day to day rigors of the mobile environment and
provide years of reliable service. The useful life of the product can be enhanced by not intentionally abusing it.
¡
Whenever possible suspend the unit by pressing FN+F3 before moving it from one location to another. This will unload the
read/write heads and spin down the disk.
¡
Maintain the environmental seal of the computer by keeping all external
access doors closed and latched. Also avoid exposing the
unit to extreme temperatures or moisture when the doors are open.
¡
Periodically backup or archive important files and data.
External PC Card Hard Drives
Each PC Card hard drive manufacturer provides specific guidelines for the care and handling of the product. In addition, follow these
recommendations:
¡
When the PC Card hard drive is not inserted in a PC Card socket, store the hard drive in a protective carrying case. This will help
protect it from inadvertent shocks.
¡
Always use care when handling the hard drive. Do not drop, bend, flex, or crush it.
¡
Avoid exposing the PC Card hard drive to extreme moisture, heat, or sunlight.
¡
Keep all debris out of the connector to ensure good electrical connections.
¡
There are no user repairable parts in the PC Card hard drive. Do not attempt to disassemble any part of the hard drive. The
warranty will be voided if drive seals are broken or screws have been removed.
¡
Periodically backup or archive important files and data.
If you encounter or suspect hard drive problems, you can run SCANDISK, which provides a description of file usage and syntax on
selected drives.
SCANDISK will identify any failures on the hard drive and prompt you for corrective action based on selected options.
If problems are found, it may be necessary to run SCANDISK several times to determine the extent and severity of the problem.
SCANDISK may discover multiple bad clusters. Up to ten bad clusters can be allowed before returning the computer for service. After
you have run SCANDISK and the problem persists or becomes more severe, or if SCANDISK finds more than ten bad clusters, return
the unit for service.
