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. Batteri es ma y 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.

System Software

Your computer may already come with system software pre-installed. Where this is not the case, or where you are reconfiguring your computer for a different system, you will find this manual refers to Microsoft Windows 10.

English

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.

English

To configure your RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) system in Striping (RAID 0) or Mirroring (RAID 1) mode (see Table 2) you will require two identical hard disks or solid state drives.

RAID Level Description

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

Prepare the following before setting up your SATA 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 SATA solid state drives.

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

Prepare the following before setting up your PCIe SSDs in RAID mode:

•The Microsoft Windows 10 OS disc.

• An attached external DVD drive.

• Two identical PCIe solid state drives.

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

• A USB flash drive.

• An operable computer (to copy files from the Device Driv- ers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc to the USB flash drive).

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

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.

You can access the GPU Overclocking utility from the Control Center or taskbar notification area.

Click the button to access the enable/disable GPU overclocking for certain types of CPU and GPU. Overclocking the graphics processing unit (or GPU) involves running your graphics processor at a faster speed than was originally intended. GPU overclocking is useful when undertaking intensive graphic tasks e.g. 3D rendering and gaming, without dropping framerates etc. (see Overclock-

ing Issues on page 19).

Overclocking should only be enabled when powered by a plugged-in AC/DC adapter, and not on battery power. The Fan Speed will also automatically be set to overclock (do not adjust this fan speed setting if you have enabled GPU overclocking).

1. Click On to enable GPU overclocking.

2. Use the sliders to adjust the settings for Core Increment, Memory Increment and Fan Speed Offset.

3. Click Save to retain the setting changes, and then click OK when the system warning message appears, or Cancel to return to the utility.

4. Clicking OFF will return to the standard default settings.
