Traveling with the computer

For best results, follow these traveling and shipping tips:

■ Prepare the computer for traveling or shipping:

1. Back up your information.

2. Remove all optical discs and all external media cards, such as digital cards and

ExpressCards.

To reduce the risk of damage to the computer, damage to a drive, or loss of

information, remove the media from a drive before removing the drive from a

drive bay, and before shipping, storing, or traveling with a drive.

3. Turn off and then disconnect all external devices.

4. Shut down the computer.

■ Take along a backup of your information. Keep the backup separate from the computer.

■ When traveling by air, carry the computer as hand luggage, and do not check it in with

the rest of your bags.

CAUTION: Avoid exposing a drive to magnetic fields. Security devices with

magnetic fields include airport walk-through devices and security wands. The airport

security devices that check carry-on luggage, such as conveyor belts, use X-rays

instead of magnetism and will not damage a drive.
