Hybrid graphics
Your notebook is equipped with a hybrid graphics system. By clicking the Quick Start
button, you can switch between battery-saver and performance mode.
Use the graphics unit integrated in the chip set for applications which are
less graphics-intensive, such as video playback, e-mail and Internet surfing.
This reduces heat generation, noise levels and power consumption. As a
result, battery life is increased (battery saver mode).
If you require a high level of performance, for example, for games, you can
switch to the external graphics unit (performance mode).
Change graphics mode
In your notebook, the external graphics mode is preconfigured ex works (performance mode).
A device connected to an HDMI port of your notebook (FullHD resolution) can only be
activated in performance mode via the external graphics unit.
►Click the Quick Start button Hybrid VGA on the Multimedia Board of your notebook:
The graphics display switches to battery-saver mode.
►Click the Quick Start Hybrid VGA button again.
The graphics display switches to performance mode.

Second hard drive in RAID group
Redundant ArrayofIndepe ndentDisksRAID
Removal and installation of the second hard disk must only be performed by
authorised service agents of Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH. Unauthorised
removal and installation will invalidate your warranty.
For further information and addresses of our service partners, please
see "http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/support".
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks, also: Disk Array) is a procedure for
combining two hard disks to create a logical unit.
A so-called disk array can be used advantageously to improve performance or
alternatively to improve error tolerance (data protection).
Error tolerance is facilitated by means of data redundancy. If one drive malfunctions,
a different drive contains an exact copy of the data. This can prevent an operating
system from malfunctioning or data from being lost.
The operating system detects all hard disks in a disk array as a single physical
hard disk. The individual disk drives in a disk array are called "members". Member
configuration information is recorded in the reserved sector of the hard disk. With this
information the hard disk can be identified as a member.
There are usually a few methods by which hard disks can be combined. These methods
are referred to as different RAID levels. The different RAID levels represent different
performance and security levels as well as implementation costs.
Depending on the size of the hard disk, the process for combining two
hard drives to create a RAID group can take several hours. During this
time period, your screen will turn black.
For further information regarding the configuration of your RAID systems, please
see the Help function of your Intel®Matrix Storage Manager Program.
Intel®Call up Matrix Storage Manager and Help function
To call up the Intel®Matrix Storage Manager program and the Help function, proceed as follows:
►Choose Start - All Programs - Intel®Matrix Storage Manager -Intel®Matrix Storage Manager.
The programme is started.
►In the upper menubar, click on Help.
The Help function for the Intel®Matrix Storage Manager program is called up.

Preparing your notebook for use
Preparing your notebook for use
First-timesetupNotebookGettingstartedNotebook
If your notebook comes with a Windows operating system then all of the necessary
hardware drivers and the supplied software will already be pre-installed.
With the operating system Microsoft Vista, it may take up to 20 minutes to prepare your
notebook for use depending on the hardware fitted and the software supplied.
When you switch on the notebook for the first time it will perform a system
check. A number of different messages may be displayed. In the process,
the display may flicker or darken temporarily.
Please follow the instructions on the screen.
It is very important that you do not switch the notebook off during this initial set-up process.
Before you can use your notebook for the first time you will need to charge the battery.
On delivery, the battery can be found in the battery compartment or in the accessories kit. The
battery must be charged if you want to operate your notebook with the battery.
When not plugged into a mains socket, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can
increase the battery’s life by enabling the system’s energy saving functions.
If you use the notebook in at home or in an office, we recommend you use
the mains adapter instead of the battery.
Please refer to the "AMILO Notebook" operating manual for instructions on how to connect
external devices (e.g. a mouse or a printer) to the notebook.
Unpacking and checking your notebook
Should you discover any damage incurred during transportation, notify
your local sales outlet immediately!
►Unpack all the individual parts.
PackagingTransp ort
►Check your notebook for damage incurred during transportation.
We recommend that you keep the original packaging material.
You may need the packaging in the future if you need to transport your device.

Preparing your notebook for use
Selecting the location
Location,selectingtheNotebookPow eradapter
Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider
the following points when selecting a location:
• Never place the notebook and the mains adapter on a heat-sensitive
surface. This could damage the surface.
• Never place the notebook on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture,
bed). This can block the air vents and cause damage due to overheating.
• Do not place the notebook directly on your legs for extended periods. The
underside of the notebook heats up during normal operation. Extended contact
with the skin can become unpleasant or even result in burns.
• Place the notebook on a stable, flat, non-slip surface. Please note that
the rubber feet may mark certain types of surfaces.
• Keep other objects 100 mm away from the notebook and its mains
adapter to ensure adequate ventilation.
• Never cover the ventilation slots on the notebook.
• Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions. Protect
the notebook against dust, humidity and heat.

Preparing your notebook for use
Connecting the mains adapter
Preparing foroperationMainsadapt er
Please observe the safety precautions in the enclosed "Safety" manual.
The supplied mains cable conforms to the requirements of the country in which
you purchased your notebook. Make sure that the mains cable is approved
for use in the country in which you intend to use it.
The mains cable of the mains adapter must only be connected to a mains
socket if the notebook is connected to the mains adapter.
Make sure that the rated current of the mains adapter is not higher than that
of the power system to which you connect the mains adapter (refer to the
"Technical Data" section, "Mains adapter", Page 12).

Preparing your notebook for use
Switching the notebook on for the first time
Switchingonforthefirsttime
We recommend that the notebook is supplied with power through
the mains adapter during this procedure.
When you switch your notebook on for the first time, the supplied software
is installed and configured. Because this installation procedure must not be
interrupted, you should set aside enough time for it to be fully completed and
connect the notebook to the mains outlet using the mains adapter.
During installation, the notebook must only be rebooted when you are requested to do so!
You will be prompted to create a backup copy of the pre-installed operating system. This
backup copy can be used later to restore your notebook to its delivery configuration.
You can find information on how to restore the operating system, drivers, manuals
and special software in the Recovery Process manual.
Your operating system is pre-installed on the hard disk to help you when you
start using your notebook for the first time.

►Switch the notebook on (1).
►During installation, follow the on-screen instructions.
Consult the operating system manual if anything is unclear about the requested input data.
If a Windows operating system is installed on your notebook, you will find additional
information on the system and drivers, help programmes, updates, manuals etc. on
your notebook or on the Internet at "www.fujitsu-siemens.com/support".
