❖ Do not remove a hard disk card while the system is
accessing it.
❖ Do not remove a network card while you are connected to
a network.

Card is stopped, it is safe to remove.
Using your computer at the office
By connecting an external monitor, external full-size
keyboard, and a mouse, you can work with your notebook as
if it were a standard office computer.
An external monitor or projector connects to the RGB
(monitor) port.
Any USB device can connect to the USB ports.
Backing up your work
Back up all the files you create in case something happens to
your computer. You can back up your files to different types
of media such as CDs, DVDs, diskettes, or to a network, if
available.
To back up several files at one time, use the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
backup program preinstalled on the computer’s
hard disk. Also see “Backing up your data to CDs with
Windows® XP” on page 204.
HINT: Backing up all the files on your hard disk mat take a
considerable amount of time and multiple CDs/DVDs. You
may prefer to use a high-capacity backup system, such as an
external hard drive.
