Instructions for Care and Opera-
tion
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
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. Avoid placing any other items in the carrying
bag which may rub against the top of the computer during trans-
port. If any such wear and tear develops contact your service cen-
ter.
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 sup-
port 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 dis-
carded.
• 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.

English
Polymer Battery Precautions
Note the following information which is specific to poly-
mer 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 envi-
ronments, 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 com-
puter.

Battery Disposal & Caution
The product that you have purchased contains a recharge-
able battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its use-
ful 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. Re-
place only with the same or equivalent type recommended
by the manufacturer. Discard used battery according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

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 and
8.
HDD RAID Support (Model C Only)
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 for Windows 7
See RAID Setup for Windows 7 (Model C Only) on
page 5.
RAID Setup for Windows 8
Refer to the expanded User’s Manual on the Device Driv-
ers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc.
RAID Setup for Windows 7
(Model C Only)
You may use your hard disks incombination with Striping
(RAID 0), Mirroring (RAID 1), or Recovery for either
fault tolerance or performance.
Table 2 - RAID Description
RAID Level Description
RAID 0
(at lease two
hard disks
needed)
Identical drives reading and writing data in parallel
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-tolerant. The
failure of one drive will result in the loss of all data
in the array.
RAID 1
(at lease two
hard disks
needed)
Identical drives in a mirrored configuration used to
protect data. Should a drive that is part of a mir-
rored array fail, the mirrored drive (which contains
identical data) will handle all the data. When a new
replacement drive is installed, data to the new
drive is rebuilt from the mirrored drive to restore
fault tolerance.
RAID 1 (mirrored array) provides full data protec-
tion, as data can simply be copied from a healthy
disk to a replacement for any failed disk.
Recovery
(at lease two
hard disks
needed)
Two identical drives copying data between a mas-
ter and a recovery disk. This provides more control
over how data is copied between the master and
recovery drives, fast volume updates and the abil-
ity to view the data in Windows Explorer.

English
Prepare the following before setting up your serial ATA
hard disks in RAID mode:
• The Microsoft Windows 7 OS disc.
• The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc.

The USB 3.0 ports are colored blue. USB 3.0 will transfer data much faster than USB 2.0,
and is backwards-compatible with USB 2.0. When the powered USB 3.0 port is on it will
supply power (for charging devices only, not for operating devices) when the system is
off but still powered by the AC/DC adapter plugged into a working outlet, or powered by the
battery with a capacity level above 20% (this may not work with certain devices - see
page 35). Toggle power to this port by using Fn + power button.
