Moving the System
Note: A hard-disk drive must always be handled with care to avoid
damage to the heads and disk. During handling, the system unit must
not be dropped, jarred, or bumped. In case of a long-distance move,
you should copy the files on a hard disk onto diskettes before
transporting the system unit. Refer to description of the BACKUP
command in the MS-DOS documentation.
Preparations
1.
A hard-disk drive must be prepared for a move. Use the DOS
command
PARKHD
(Park Head). It enables the read/write
heads of the hard-disk drive to be positioned in such a manner
that no damage can occur to the hard disk during
transportation.
2.
Make sure that the diskette drive is empty.
3.
Turn off all attached devices that are powered separately, for
example a printer.
4.
Turn off the system unit.
5.
Unplug the power cables for the system unit and the other
attached devices from their wall outlets.
6 .
Disconnect all cables from the system unit, monitor, printer,
etc.
7.
Coil the cables to protect the cables and connectors.
8.
Remove the key from the system unit's key lock.
9.
Tape the coiled cables to the tops of the units. Also tape the
key to the top of the system unit.
