operation of the computer (Note: The company reserves the right to revise this publication or to change its contents
without notice).
Some or all of the computer’s features may already have been setup. If they aren’t, or you are planning to re-configure
(or re-install) portions of the system, refer to the expanded User’s Manual. The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s
Manual disc does not contain an operating system.

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 com-
puter. Shut the computer down properly and don’t forget to
save your work. Remember to periodically save your data
as data may be lost.
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.

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.
• 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.
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.
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).

4 - System Startup
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 (see RAID
Setup on page 5).
Concise User’s Guide
RAID Setup
You may use your hard disks (if you have included more
than one hard disk in your purchase option) 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.
RAID Level Description
Two Identical drives copying data between a
master and a recovery disk. This provides more
Recovery
control over how data is copied between the master
and recovery drives, fast volume updates and the
ability to view the data in Windows Explorer.
.
RAID Level Description
Identical drives reading and writing dat a in p aral lel to increase performance. RAID 0 imple-
RAID 0
(at lease two
hard disks
needed)
RAID 1
(at lease two
hard disks
needed)
RAID 5
(three hard
disks
needed)
ments 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.
