Be careful when handling the computer in this case, and avoid touching the raised LCD electro-plated logo. Av oid pl acing any ot her items in the carrying bag which may rub against the top of the computer during transport. If any such wear and tear develops contact your service center.

Power & Battery Safety

• Only use an AC/DC adapter approved for use with this computer.

• Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual.

• Y our AC/D C adapter may be designed for international travel but it still requires a steady, uninterrupted power supply. If you are unsure of your local power specifications, consult your service representative or local power company.

• The AC/DC adapter may have either a 2-prong or a 3-prong grounded plug. The third prong is an important safety feature; do not defeat its purpose. If you do not have access to a compatible outlet, have a qualified electrician install one.

• When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to disconnect it by the plug head, not by its wire.

• Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use can support the total current load of all the connected devices.

• Make sure that your computer is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container).

• Only use batteries designed for this computer. The wrong battery type may explode, leak or damage the computer.

• Do not continue to use a battery that has been dropped, or that appears damaged (e.g. bent or twisted) in any way. Even if the computer continues to work with a damaged battery in place, it may cause circuit damage, which may possibly result in fire.

• Recharge the batteries using the computer’s system. Incorrect recharging may make the battery explode.

• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair or replacement to your service representative or qualified service personnel.

• Keep children away from, and promptly dispose of a damaged battery. Always dispose of batteries carefully. Batteries may explode or leak if exposed to fire, or improperly handled or discarded.

• Keep the battery away from metal appliances.

• Affix tape to the battery contacts before disposing of the battery.

• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

• Do not touch the battery contacts with your hands or metal objects.

Polymer Battery Precautions



Battery Disposal & Caution

The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Note the following information which is specific to polymer batteries only, and where applicable, this overrides the general battery precaution information.

• Polymer batteries may experience a slight expansion or swelling, however this is part of the battery’s safety mechanism and is not a cause for concern.

• Use proper handling procedures when using polymer batteries. Do not use polymer batteries in high ambient temperature environments, and do not store unused batteries for extended periods.

Cleaning

• Use a soft clean cloth to clean the computer, but do not apply cleaner directly to the computer.

• Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abrasive cleaners on any part of the computer.

• Before cleaning the computer remove the battery and make sure the computer is disconnected from any external power supplies, peripherals and cables (including telephone lines).

Servicing

Attempting to service the computer yourself may violate your warranty and expose you and the computer to electric shock. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel, particularly under any of the following conditions:

English

• When the power cord or AC/DC adapter is damaged or frayed.

• If the computer has been exposed to any liquids.

• If the computer does not work normally when you follow the operating instructions.

• If the computer has been dropped or damaged (do not touch the poisonous liquid if the LCD panel breaks).

• If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke coming from your computer.

RAID Setup (Model C Only)



HDD RAID Support

Your hard disk(s) can be set up in AHCI mode or RAID mode (for increased performance or protection). Note th at setting up your hard disk(s) in RAID mode needs to be done prior to installing the Windows OS.

You may use your hard disks in combination with Striping (RAID 0), Mirroring (RAID 1), or Recovery for either fault tolerance or performance.

RAID Level Description

Identical drives reading and writing data in p aral-

RAID 0

(at lease two

hard disks

needed)

RAID 1

(at lease two

hard disks

needed)

Recovery

(at lease two

hard disks

needed)

lel to increase performance. RAID 0 implements a striped disk array and the data is broken into blocks and each block is written to a separate disk drive.

RAID 0 (a striped array) is not fault-tolerant. The failure of one drive will result in the loss of all data in the array.

Identical drives in a mirrored configuration used to protect data. Should a drive that is part of a mirrored array fail, the mirrored drive (which contains identical data) will handle all the data. When a new replacement drive is installed, data to the new drive is rebuilt from the mirrored drive to restore fault tolerance.

RAID 1 (mirrored array) provides full data protection, as data can simply be copied from a healthy disk to a replacement for any failed disk.

Two identical drives copying data between a master and a recovery disk. This provides more control over how data is copied between the master and recovery drives, fast volume updates and the ability to view the data in Win-

dows Explorer.

Table 2 - RAID Description

English

Prepare the following before setting up your serial ATA hard disks in RAID mode:

•The Microsoft Windows 7 OS disc.

•The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc.

Note: All hard disks in a RAID should be identical (the same size and brand) in order to prevent unexpected system behavior.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause - Solution

The Wireless LAN/Bluetooth modules cannot be detected.

The Bluetooth module is off after resuming from Sleep.

The captured video files from the PC Camera are taking up too much disk space.

No sound can be heard through an HDMI connected display device.

I have installed the Windows

7 operating system but cannot hear any sound.

The computer is off (or in Sleep Mode) but powered by the AC/DC adapter plugged in to a working outlet or powered by the battery with a capacity level above 20%. I have

plugged a device into the powered USB port in order to charge it, but the device is not charging.

The modules are off. Check the appropriate LED indicator to see if the modules are on or off (see

Table 3 on page 8). If the LED indicator is not illuminated, then press the appropriate function key

combination in order to enable the modules (see Table 3 on page 8). The Bluetooth module’s default state will be off after resuming from the Sleep power-saving state.
