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.
• A void 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.
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.
• 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.
Safety Information
• Only use an AC/DC adapter approved for use with this computer.
• Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check
with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
• 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.
• Make sure that your computer is completely powered off before
putting it into a travel bag (or any such container).
• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from
any external power supplies, peripherals and cables. It is advisable to also remove your battery in order to prevent accidentally
turning the machine on.
• 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.
• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair
or replacement to your service representative or qualified service
personnel.
• 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. Avoid placing any other 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.

Polymer Battery Precautions
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 recommended
by the manufacturer. Discard used battery accord ing to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
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.

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 10.
Intel® Optane™ Support
You need to setup Intel® Optane™ before installing your Windows 10 operating system (see Intel® Optane™ Setup
on page 5).

Intel® Optane™ Setup
Intel® Optane™ is a combination of a compatible memory device and Intel Rapid Storage Technology soft-
ware. This combination is designed to speed up your
system performance by caching boot data, executables,
frequently accessed data and system page files to a non
volatile, low latency Intel® Optane™ SSD.
Contact your distributor or supplier to see if your system
supports this technology.
If you are reinstalling a system that has previously been
setup in Intel RST Premium mode, make sure you have
cleared the Intel Optane Memory (see Clearing Intel®
Optane™ on page 6).
Intel® Optane™ Setup Procedure
You need to setup Intel® Optane™ before installing your
Windows 10 operating system, and you will need to prepare the following in order to do so.
• The Microsoft Windows 10 OS DVD.
• An attached extern al DVD drive.
• An Intel® Optane™ SSD installed in your system.
• The Device Drivers & Utilit ies + User’s Manual disc.
1. Start-up your notebook computer and press F2 to enter the
BIOS.
2. Go to the Boot menu, select UEFI Setting and press Enter.
3. Set UEFI Boot to “Enabled”.
4. Press Esc to exit the menu and go to the Main menu.
5. Select OffBoard NVMe Controller Configuration and press
Enter to check that an Intel® Optane™ SSD is present.
6. Press Esc to exit the menu and go to the Advanced menu.
7. Select SATA Mode, press Enter and select “Intel RST
Premium...”.
8. Press F4 and <Yes> to “Save Changes and Reset”.
9. As the computer restarts press F2 to enter the BIOS again.
10. Press F4 and <Yes> to “Save Changes and Reset”, however
ensure that the condition in the bulleted point below is met
before doing so.
• Make sure the Windows 10 OS DVD is in the attached DVD
drive, as the computer starts up it will automatically boot from
the Windows 10 OS DVD (you will be prompted to press a key
to boot from the DVD).
11. Click Next > Install Now to continue installing the operating
system as normal (see your Windows documentation if you
need help on installing the Windows OS).
12. Select Custom: Install Windows only (advanced).
13. It is recommended that you select and then delete existing
partitions.
14. Click New to create a partition for Windows.
15. It is very important to make sure that when you create the
partition, leave at least a minimum of unallocated space of 5MB.
16. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the Windows 10
operating system.
17. Install the Windows drivers. Make sure you install the Intel®
Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) driver.
18. Run the Intel® Rapid S
torage Technology application.
English

19. Click Enable.
Figure 2 - Intel® Rapid Storage Technology - Status
English
20. The system will pop-up a message and ask you to select a
compatible fast drive (in this case there should only be one
option).
21. You will need to restart the computer after enabling Optane, and
make sure the system is powered by the powered AC/DC
adapter, and not by battery only.
22. Click Yes to begin the process (this may take some time).
23. After the process has been completed restart the computer.
Clearing Intel® Optane™
If you wish to clear an existing Intel® Optane™ setup
then follow the procedure below to do so. However back-
up up any necessary files and data before clearing an
Intel® Optane™ setup, as doing so will result in the loss
of all data on the volumes.
1. Make sure that Intel® Optane™ is enabled in the Intel® Rapid
Storage Technology application.
2. Start-up your computer and press F2 to enter the BIOS.
3. Go to Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology (in the Advanced
menu) and press Enter.
4. Select Intel Optane, **** (listed under Optane Volume:) and
press Enter.
5. Select “Deconcatentate” and press Enter.
6. Select Yes from the “Are you sure you want to perform
