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.

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.
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:
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.
