English
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 capac-
ity 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 gen-
eral 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 dur-
ing transport. If any such wear and tear develops contact your
service center.
Power & Battery Safety
• Only use an AC/DC adapter approved for use with this com-
puter.
• 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 ser-
vice 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 compat-
ible 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 bat-
tery 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 ser-
vice 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 swell-
ing, 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 peri-
ods.
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
computer.

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.

Model Differences
This notebook series includes two different model types
that mainly differ as indicated in the table below.
Table 1 - Model Differences
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 8.1.
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.
RAID Setup
See RAID Setup on page 6.

English
RAID Setup
You may use your hard disks in combination with Striping
(RAID 0), Mirroring (RAID 1), Parity Across Disks
(RAID 5) or Recovery for either fault tolerance or perfor-
mance.
Table 2 - RAID Description
Prepare the following before setting up your serial ATA
hard disks in RAID mode:
1. The Microsoft Windows 8.1 OS disc.
2. A hard disk installed in the Primary HDD bay.
AND
For RAID levels 0/1/Recovery: A second (identical) hard disk
installed in the Primary HDD bay.
For RAID level 5: A third (identical) hard disk installed in the
Secondary HDD bay.
3. The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc.
4. A USB flash drive.
5. An operable computer (to copy files from the Device Drivers &
Utilities + User’s Manual disc to the USB flash drive).
Note: All hard disks in a RAID should be identical (the
same size and brand) in order to prevent unexpected sys-
tem behavior.
RAID Level Description
RAID 0
(at lease two
hard disks
needed)
Identical drives reading and writing data in par-
allel to increase performance. RAID 0 imple-
ments a striped disk array and the data is
broken into blocks and each block is written to
a separate disk drive.
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
mirrored 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 mir-
rored drive to restore fault tolerance.
RAID 5
(three hard
disks
needed)
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.
Recovery
(at lease two
hard disks
needed)
Two Identical drives copying data between a
master and a recovery disk. This provides more
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.
