The Documentation and Utilities CD included with your computer provides helpful information about the hardware, as well as regulatory and safety information. Please review the contents of the Documentation and Utilities CD.

The Documentation and Utilities CD supports one or more languages.

Utilities

The Documentation and Utilities CD also contains a diagnostic program called Hardware Diagnostic Tools.
