ENERGY STAR model information
ENERGY STAR® is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy aimed at saving money and
protecting the environment through energy efficient products and practices.
Lenovo® is proud to offer our customers products with an ENERGY STAR
compliant designation. Lenovo computers of the following machine types, if the

By using ENERGY STAR compliant products and taking advantage of the powermanagement features of your computer, you reduce the consumption
electricity. Reduced electrical consumption contributes to potential financial
savings, a cleaner environment, and the reduction of greenhouse gas
of
emissions.

Lenovo encourages you to make efficient use of energy an integral part of
your day-to-day operations. To help in this endeavor, Lenovo has preset the
following power-management features to take effect when your computer
has been inactive for a specified duration:

Explanation of Hard Disk Capacity
Dear user,
While using your computer, you may discover that the nominal hard
disk capacity indicated is somewhat different from the disk capacity
displayed by the operating system. For example, a nominal 40GB hard
disk will appear as less than 40GB in the operating system. This
discrepancy is not an error in hard disk installation nor any other
problem, but a normal phenomenon of computers. This phenomenon is
primarily due to the following reasons:
I. Different standards used by the manufacturer and operating
system when calculating hard disk capacity
Hard disk manufacturers use a radix of 1000, i.e. 1GB = 1,000MB, 1MB =
1,000KB, 1KB = 1,000 bytes. However, when identifying hard disk capacity,
operating systems use a radix of 1024, i.e. 1GB = 1,024MB, 1MB = 1,024KB,
1KB = 1,024 bytes. The standard adopted by your computer is that of the
hard disk manufacturers. Since the standards adopted by the hard disk
manufacturer and operating system are different, the hard disk capacity
displayed by the operating system will be different from the nominal hard
disk capacity.
For example, if the hard disk is nominally X GB, even when it is completely
empty, the capacity displayed by the operating system will be:
X × 1000 × 1000 × 1000/ (1024 × 1024 × 1024) ≈ X × 0.931
If a portion of the hard disk space has been used for some specific purpose,
then the capacity indicated by the operating system will be even less than
X × 0.931 GB.
II. A portion of the hard disk space is used for specific purposes
Lenovo computers come with preinstalled OneKeyTM Rescue System, so the
hard disk has a special portion partitioned before delivery, which is used to
store hard disk mirror and OneKey Rescue System program files. The size
of the reserved space for this partition varies according to the model,
operating system and software of the computer. For the sake of safety, this
partition is not evident, which is commonly referred to as a “hidden
partition”.
In addition, after the hard disk is partitioned or formatted, the system will
assign a certain amount of hard disk space for the system files.
For the above reasons, the available hard disk space indicated by the
operating system is always less than the computer’s nominal hard disk
capacity.

Using VeriFace™
VeriFace is a face recognition software which takes a digital snapshot,
extracts key features of your face, and creates a digital map that becomes
the system’s “password”.
Note:
The face registration and verification works best in the environment with
steady and even light.
For more instructions on VeriFace, see the help file on your software.
Using Passwords
Using passwords helps prevent your computer from being used by others.
Once you set a password and enable it, a prompt appears on the screen
each time you power on the computer. Enter your password at the prompt.
The computer cannot be used unless you enter the correct password.
Make sure that only authorized individuals access your computer.
Establishing different kinds of passwords requires that other possible users
know the proper passwords in order to access your computer or your data.
This password can be from two to eight alphanumeric characters in any
combination.
For details about how to set the password, see the Help to the right of the
screen in BIOS Setup Utility.
