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.

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. Discardused battery according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

System Startup
1. Remove all packing materials.
2. Place the computer on a stable surface.
3. Securely attach any peripherals you want to use with the computer
(e.g. keyboard and mouse) to their ports.
4. Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-In jack at the rear of the
computer, then plug the AC power cord into an outlet, and connect
the AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter (make sure you use
the adapter when first setting up the computer, as to
safeguard the computer during shipping the battery will be locked
to not power the system until first connected to the AC/DC
adapter).
5. Use one hand to raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle
(do not to exceed 135 degrees);
use the other hand (as illustrated
in Figure 1) to support the base of the computer (Note: Never lift
the computer by the lid/LCD).
6. Press the power button to turn the computer “on”.
System Software
Your computer may already come with system software pre-
installed. Where this is not the case, or where you are re-con-
figuring your computer for a different system, you will find
this manual refers to Microsoft Windows 10.
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 in-
stalling the Windows OS. Do not change the mode unless you
intend to reinstall your operating system, and make sure you
back up all necessary files and data before doing so.

RAID Setup
You may use your hard disks/SSDs in combination with
Striping (RAID 0) or Mirroring (RAID 1) for either fault
tolerance or performance.
Table 1 - RAID Description
Prepare the following before setting up your SATA hard
disks/SSDs in RAID mode:
•TheMicrosoft Windows 10 OS disc.
• An attached external DVD drive.
• A hard disk installed in the Primary HDD bay and a second
(identical) hard disk installed in the Secondary HDD bay.
Or
Two identical SATA solid state drives.
•TheDevice Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc.
Prepare the following before setting up your PCIe SSDs
in RAID mode:
•TheMicrosoft Windows 10 OS disc.
• An attached external DVD drive.
• Two identical PCIe solid state drives.
•TheDevice Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc.
• A USB flash drive.
• An operable computer (to copy files from the Device Driv-
ers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc to the USB flash
drive).
Note: All hard disks/SSDs in a RAID should be identical
(the same size and brand) in order to prevent unexpected
system behavior.
RAID Level Description
RAID 0
(at lease two
hard disks/
SSDs
needed)
Identical drives reading and writing data in
parallel to increase performance. RAID 0
implements a stripeddisk 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/
SSDs
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 mirrored drive to restore fault tolerance.
