Moving

Contact your service representative if you need to lift the machine (such as when relocating it to another floor). Do not attempt to lift the machine without the assistance of your service representative. The machine will be damaged if it topples or is dropped, resulting in malfunction and risk of injury to users.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the machine, take care that the power cord is not damaged under the machine. Failing to take these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.

After you move the machine, use the caster fixture to fix it in place. Otherwise the machine might move or come down to cause an injury.

Be careful when moving the machine. Take the following precautions:
- Turn off the main power. For details about how to turn the main power off, see Turning On/Off the Power .
- Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. When you pull out the plug from the socket, grip the plug to avoid damaging the cord, thereby reducing the risk of fire or electric shock.
- Close all covers and trays, including the front cover.
- Keep the machine level and carry it carefully, taking care not to jolt or tip it. Rough handling may cause a malfunction or damage the hard disk or memory, resulting in loss of stored files.
- Protect the machine from strong shocks. Impact can damage the hard disk and cause stored files to be lost. As a precautionary measure, files should be copied to another computer.
