Concise User’s Guide
Instructions for Care and Operation
The computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To
prevent this, follow these suggestions:
English
• 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 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. Av oid pl acing any ot her 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.
• Y our AC/D C 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.
2 - Instructions for Care and Operation
Concise User’s Guide
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 rec ommended
by the manufacturer. Discard used battery according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Polymer Battery Precautions
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:
• 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 7.
HDD RAID Support
Your hard disk(s) can be set up in AHCI mode or RAID
mode (for increased performance or protection). Note that
setting up your hard disk(s) in RAID mode needs to be
done prior to installing the Windows OS.

RAID Setup
You may use your hard disks in combination with Striping (RAID 0), Mirroring (RAID 1), Parity Across Disks
(RAID 5) or Recovery for either fault tolerance or performance.
Prepare the following before setting up your serial ATA
hard disks in RAID mode:
• The Microsoft Windows OS disc.
•A second hard disk installed in the Primary HDD bay for
RAID level 0 or 1 or Recovery
OR
A second hard disk installed in the Primary HDD bay, and
a third hard disk in the Secondary HDD bay for RAID
level 5.
• The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc.
Table 1 - RAID Description
RAID Level Description
Recovery
(at lease two
hard disks
needed)
Two identical drives copying data between a
master and a recovery disk. This provides more
control over how data is copied between the
master and recovery drives, fast volume
updates and the ability to view the data in Win-
dows Explorer.

RAID Level Description
Identical drives reading and writing dat a in p aral -
RAID 0
(at lease two
hard disks
needed)
RAID 1
(at lease two
hard disks
needed)
RAID 5
(three hard
disks
needed)
lel 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.
RAID 0 (a striped array) is not fault-t olerant. The
failure of one drive will result in the loss of all
data in the array.
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 install ed, dat a
to the new drive is rebuilt from the mirrored drive
to restore fault tolerance.
RAID 1 (mirrored array) provides full data protection, as data can simply be copied from a
healthy disk to a replacement for any failed disk.
Identical drives (at least three drives must be
used) in a parity across disks configuration are
used to protect data and increase perfor-
mance. A RAID 5 array can withstand a single
disk failure without losing access to data.

order to prevent system problems it is recommended that
you save the captured video file to a location other than
the C: drive , limit the file size of the captured video or
reduce video resolution.
To Reduce Video Resolution Output Size:
1. Run the BisonCap program.
2. Go to Options and scroll down to select Video Capture Pin....
3. Click the Output Size drop box and select a lower resolution

Digital TV Broadcast Signal
The antenna is the most crucial factor in receiving a clear
digital terrestrial TV broadcast signal. The passive antenna provided should provide a clear signal when placed
beside a window. If the signal is not clear then you can
purchase an active antenna (it should also be placed beside a window) to improve the signal. You should also
check with any related government website which provides information on digital terrestrial TV coverage for
your area. Note that (unlike standard analog TV) if the
digital signal is weak then no picture will appear on the
TV at all.
TV Recording and Power Plans
If you intend to use the optional TV Tuner to record live
TV, then go to the Power Options control panel and create a power plan to prevent the power saving options
from adjusting the computer’s performance level.
