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 procedures 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-plated
logo, the logo is covered by a protective adhesive. Due to general
wear and tear, this adhesive may deteriorate 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 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.

System Software
Your computer may already come with system software pre-installed. Where this is not the case, or where
you are re-configuring your computer for a different
system, you will find this manual refers to Microsoft
Windows 10.
SSD RAID Support
Your SSDs can be set up in AHCI mode or RAID
mode (for increased performance or protection). Note
that setting up your SSDs 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.
4
RAID Setup
You may use your SSDs in combination with Striping
(RAID 0) or Mirroring (RAID 1) for either fault tolerance
or performance.
RAID Level Description
RAID 0
(at lease two
SSDs
needed)
RAID 1
(at lease two
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.
Table 1 - RAID Description
Prepare the following before setting up your SATA SSDs
in RAID mode:
•The Microsoft Windows 10 OS disc.
• An attached external DVD drive.
• 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 SSDs in a RAID should be identical (the same
size and brand) in order to prevent unexpected system behavior.

Driver Installation General
Guidelines
As a general guide follow the
default on-screen instructions for each driver (e.g.
Next > Next > Finish) unless
you are an advanced user. In
many cases a restart is required to install the driver.
Make sure any modules (e.g.
WLAN or Bluetooth) are ON
before installing the appropriate driver.
Windows Update
After installing all the drivers
make sure you enable Win-
dows Update in order to get
all the latest security updates
etc. (all updates will include
the latest hotfixes from Mi-
crosoft).
Driver Installation & Power
When installing drivers make sure
your computer is powered by the AC/
DC adapter connected to a working
power source. Some drivers draw a
significant amount of power during the
installation procedure, and if the remaining battery capacity is not adequate this may cause the system to
shut down and cause system problems (note that there is no safety issue involved here, and the battery will
be rechargeable within 1 minute).
