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
electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the
English
computer could be badly damaged.
• Avoid interfer ence. 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.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may
violate your warranty and expose you and the computer to
electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. Unplug the computer from the power supply. Then refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under any of the fo llowing conditions:
• When the power cord or AC/DC adapter is damaged or frayed.

Driver Installation
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).
Figure 13 - Install Drivers
The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc contains the drivers and utilities
necessary for the proper operation of the computer. This setup will probably have already been done for you. If this is not the case, insert the disc and click Install Drivers

(Password Creation)
(Models A & C Only)
The computer supports Intel® vPro™ Technology. This
set of technology features, built into the computer’s motherboard, allows Information Technology departments remote access to the computer. This allows the IT
department to monitor, maintain and manage computers
regardless of the state of the operating system or the computer’s power state. This can be done over a wired or corporate wireless network, or even outside the corporate
firewall through a wired LAN connection.
Accessing the Intel Management Engine
To access the Intel Management Engine press Ctrl + P
at startup. Your system administrator will need to assist
you in managing the information as applicable to your enterprise. Note the following password information for the
Intel Management Engine:
•The default password is “admin” (without quotes).
If you get an "Error - Intel(R) ME password change re-jected" message when creating a new password, then note
the following parameters for creating a password:
•between 8 and 32 characters long
•Contain both upper and lower case Latin characters
•Have at least one numeric character
•Have at least one ASCII non-alphanumeric character (!,
@, #, $,%, ^, &, *)
English
Select MEBx Login and press “Enter” to access the password screen. Enter the password “admin” (without
quotes) and you will then be prompted to enter your own
password (note the password information above). Once
you have entered the password you will then be taken to
the platform configuration screen.
The platform configuration screen allows you to setup Intel ME as per your requirements (consult your IT administrator for the actual settings required).

Troubleshooting
ProblemPossible Cause - Solution
The Wireless LAN/Bluetooth
modules cannot be detected.
The PC Camera module cannot be
English
detected.
The captured video files from the PC Camera are taking up too much disk
space.
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 as the computer is in Airplane Mode. Check the LED in dicator
to see if it is in Airplane Mode (see Table 2 on page 7). Use the Fn + F11 key
combination to toggle Airplane Mode on/off (see Table 3 on page 9).
The module is off. Press the Fn + F10 key comb inati on in order to enab le th e module (see
Table 3 on page 9). Run the camera application to view the camera picture.
Note that capturing high resolution video files requires a substantial amount of disk space
for each file.
Note that the Windows system requires a minimum of 20GB (64bit) of free space on theC: drive system partition. It is recommended that you save the capture video file to a
location other than the C:drive, limit the file size of the captured video or reduce video
resolution.
The port is not powered on. Toggle power to the port using the Fn + power button
combination.
This function may not work with certain external USB compliant devices (check your
device’s documentation). If this is the case, power the computer on and connect the
external USB device in order to charge it.
