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.

EN
Note the following information which is specific to Polymer/Lithium-Ion
batteries only, and where applicable, this overrides the general battery
precaution information.
• Polymer/Lithium-Ion 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/Lithium-Ion batteries.
Do not use Polymer/Lithium-Ion batteries in high ambient temperature
environments, and do not store unused batteries for extended periods.
• If you are working in areas of low temperature use the AC/DC adapter to
power the computer.
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 according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Note that in computer’s featuring a raised 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 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.

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. When first setting up the computer use the following procedure
(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 and initially set up
as below):
• Attach the AC/DC adapter cord to the DC-In jack on 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. The battery will now be unlocked.
5. Use one hand to raise the lid to a comfortable viewing angle
(do not exceed 130 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).

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 11.
You need to setup RAID before installing your Windows operating
system (see RAID Setup page).
Your solid state drives (SSDs) can be set up in RAID mode
(for increased performance or protection). Note that setting up your solid state
drives in RAID mode needs to be done prior to installing 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.
To configure your RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) system in
Striping (RAID 0) or Mirroring (RAID 1) mode (see Table 1) you will require two
identical solid state drives.
Note that you should always shut your computer down by choosing the
Shut down command in Windows (see below). This will help prevent hard disk or
system problems.
1. Click the Start Menu icon .
2. Click the Power item .
3. Choose Shut down from the menu .

RAID 0
(at lease two
SSDs 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 drive.
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.
RAID 1
(at lease two
SSDs needed)
RAID Level Description
Table 1 - RAID Description
Prepare the following before setting up your PCIe SSDs in RAID mode:
• The Microsoft Windows 11 OS on a DVD or USB flash drive.
• A connected external DVD drive.
• Two identical PCIe solid state drives.
• The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc.
• A USB Flash drive or external USB hard disk drive.
Note: All SSDs in a RAID should be identical (the same size and brand) in order to
prevent unexpected system behavior.
1. Go to the operable computer and copy the f6mdflpy-x64 folder from the
location below on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc to the USB
Flash drive or external USB hard disk.
• Raid\F6\VMD\f6vmdflpy-x64\
2. Start-up your notebook computer and press F2 to enter the BIOS
and go to the Setup Utility.
3. Select the Advanced menu.
4. Select VMD Mode and select Enabled.
5. Press F10 to Save and Exit and select <Yes>.
6. After the computer restarts press F2 to enter the BIOS again and
go to the Setup Utility.

requirements (It is recommended that you set the “Strip Size” to 128KB).
15. Select Create Volume (make sure you have selected your disks).
16. The system will list your RAID volume.
17. Press F10 to Save and Exit and select <Yes>, however note below.
