Instructions for Care and Opera­tion

The computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To
prevent this, follow these suggestions:

• Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the

case and the components could be damaged.

• Keep it dry, and don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and

power supply away from any kind of heating element. This is an

English

electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the
computer could be badly damaged.

• Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity

transformers, electric motors, and other strong magnetic fields.
These can hinder proper performance and damage your data.

• Follow the proper working procedur e s for the computer. Shut

the computer down properly and don’t forget to save your work.
Remember to periodically save your data as data may be lost.

• Note that in computer’s featuring a raised LCD electro-pl ated
logo, the logo is covered by a protective adhesive. Due to general
wear and tear, this adhesive may deter iorate over time and the
exposed logo may develop sharp edges. Be careful when handling
the computer in this case, and avoid touching the raised LCD
electro-plated logo. Avoid placing any other 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.

• Your AC/DC 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 bef ore 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.

• (For Computer Models Supplied with Light Blue Cleaning
Cloth) Some computer models in this series come supplied with a
light blue cleaning cloth. To clean the computer case with this
cloth follow the instructions below.

• Power off the computer and peripherals.

• Disconnect the AC/DC adapter from the computer.

• Use a little water to dampen the cloth slightly.

• Clean the computer case with the cloth.

• Dry the computer with a dry cloth, or allow it time to dry

before turning on.

• Reconnect the AC/DC adapter and turn the computer on.

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:

• 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

Your hard disks or solid state drives (SSDs) can be set up
in RAID mode (for increased performance or protection).

Note that setting up your hard disks/solid state drives
in RAID mode needs to be done prior to installing the

Windows OS. Do not change the mode unless you intend
to reinstall your operating system, and make sure you back
up all necessary files and data before doing so.

To configure your RAID (Redundant Array of Indepen­dent Disks) system in Striping (RAID 0) or Mirroring
(RAID 1) mode (see Table 1) you will require two identi­cal hard disks or solid state drives.

RAID Level Description

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

•The Microsoft Windows 10 OS disc.

• An attached external DVD drive.

• A hard disk installed in the Primary HDD bay and a second

(identical) hard disk installed in the Secondary HDD bay.
Or
Two Identical solid state drives.

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

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

English

RAID 0

(at lease two

hard disks/

SSDs

needed)

RAID 1

(at lease two

hard disks/

SSDs

needed)

Identical drives reading and writing data in
parallel 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.

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 repl acement drive is
installed, data to the new drive is rebuilt from
the mirrored drive to restore fault tolerance.

Warning Message

The message highlights the fact that
while overclocking the GPU offers a
boost to graphics performance, it can
cause system instability in certain cir­cumstances as the harder you push
the processor, the more power you will
need to supply to it, and the hotter the
system will run. Therefore it is not rec­ommended that you enable GPU over­clocking for extended periods, only as
and when specifically required.
