2 Handling drives

Drives are fragile computer components that must be handled with care. Refer to the following cautions

before handling drives. Additional cautions are included with the procedures to which they apply.

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

observe these precautions:

Before you move a computer that is connected to an external hard drive, initiate Standby and allow the

screen to clear, or properly disconnect the external hard drive.

Before handling a drive, discharge static electricity by touching the unpainted metal surface of the drive.

Do not touch the connector pins on a removable drive or on the computer.

Handle a drive carefully; do not drop a drive or place items on it.

Before removing or inserting a drive, shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer

is off, in Standby, or in Hibernation, turn the computer on and then shut it down through the operating

system.

Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive into a drive bay.

Do not type on the keyboard or move the computer while the optical drive is writing to a disc. The write

process is sensitive to vibration.

When the battery is the only source of power, be sure that the battery is sufficiently charged before

writing to media.

Avoid exposing a drive to temperature or humidity extremes.

Avoid exposing a drive to liquids. Do not spray the drive with cleaning products.

Remove media from a drive before removing the drive from the drive bay, or traveling with, shipping, or

storing a drive.

If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer or other suitable protective packaging

and label the package “FRAGILE.”

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.

3 Improving hard drive performance

Using Disk Defragmenter

As you use the computer, files on the hard drive become fragmented. Disk Defragmenter consolidates

the fragmented files and folders on the hard drive so that the system can run more efficiently.

After you start Disk Defragmenter, it works without supervision. Depending on the size of your hard drive

and the number of fragmented files, Disk Defragmenter may take more than an hour to complete. You

may want to set it to run during the night or another time when you do not need access to your computer.

HP recommends defragmenting your hard drive at least once a month. You may set Disk Defragmenter

to run on a monthly schedule, but you can defragment your computer manually at any time.

To run Disk Defragmenter:

1. Select Start >All Programs >Accessories >System Tools >Disk Defragmenter.

2. Under Volume, click the listing for the hard drive, usually listed as (C:), and then click

Defragment.

For additional information, access the Disk Defragmenter software Help.

Using Disk Cleanup

Disk Cleanup searches the hard drive for unnecessary files that you can safely delete to free up disk

space and help the computer to run more efficiently.

To run Disk Cleanup:

1. Select Start >All Programs >Accessories >System Tools >Disk Cleanup.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions.

4 Using HP 3D DriveGuard

HP 3D DriveGuard protects the hard drive by parking the drive and halting I/O requests under either of

the following conditions:

●You drop the computer.

●You move the computer with the display closed while the computer is running on battery power.

A short time after the end of one of these events, HP 3D DriveGuard returns the hard drive to normal

operation.

NOTE: If the upgrade bay contains a hard drive, the hard drive is protected by HP 3D DriveGuard.

Hard drives installed in optional docking devices or connected to USB ports are not protected by HP 3D

DriveGuard.

For more information, refer to the HP 3D DriveGuard software Help.

4 Chapter 4 Using HP 3D DriveGuard

Identifying HP 3D DriveGuard status

The drive light on the computer changes to an amber color to show that the drive is parked. To determine

whether drives are currently protected or whether a drive is parked, use the icon in the notification area,

at the far right of the taskbar:

●If the software is enabled, a green check mark is superimposed over the hard drive icon.

●If the software is disabled, a red X is superimposed over the hard drive icon.

●If the drives are parked, a yellow moon is superimposed over the hard drive icon.

If HP 3D DriveGuard has parked the drive, the computer will behave in the following ways:

●The computer will not shut down.

●The computer will not initiate Standby or Hibernation, except as described in the following Note.

NOTE: If the computer is running on battery power and reaches a critical battery level, HP 3D

DriveGuard allows the computer to initiate Hibernation.

●The computer will not activate battery alarms set on the Alarms tab in Power Options properties.

Before you move the computer, HP recommends that you either shut it down or initiate Standby or

Hibernation.

Identifying HP 3D DriveGuard status 5

Using HP 3D DriveGuard software

The HP 3D DriveGuard software enables you to perform the following tasks:

●Enable and disable HP 3D DriveGuard.

NOTE: Depending on your user privileges, you may not be able to enable or disable HP 3D

DriveGuard. Additionally, members of an Administrator group can change the privileges for non-

Administrator users.

●Determine whether a drive in the system is supported.

To open the software and change settings, follow these steps:

1. Double-click the icon in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.

– or –

Right-click the icon in the notification area, and then select Settings.
