About this Concise User Guide
This quick guide is a brief introduction to getting your system started. This is a supplement, and not a substitute for the
expanded English language User’s Manual in Adobe Acrobat format on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual
disc supplied with your computer. This disc also contains the drivers and utilities necessary for the proper operation of
the computer (Note: The company reserves the right to revise this publication or to change its contents without notice).
Some or all of the computer’s features may already have been setup. If they aren’t, or you are planning to re-configure
(or re-install) portions of the system, refer to the expanded User’s Manual. The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s
Manual disc does not contain an operating system.
Regulatory and Safety Information
Please pay careful attention to the full regulatory notices and safety information contained in the expanded User’s Man-
ual on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc.

FCC Statement
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two
conditions:
1.This device may not cause
harmful interference.
2.This device must accept any
interference received, includ-
ing interference that may
cause undesired operation.

Instructions for Care and Operation
The computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To pre-
vent 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.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may
violate your warranty and expose you and the computer to
electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service person-
nel. Unplug the computer from the power supply. Then refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under any of the fol-
lowing 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 panel breaks).
• If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke coming from your com-
puter.
Safety Information
• Only use an AC/DC adapter approved for use with this computer.
• Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check
with local codes for possible 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.
• 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.
• Do not try to repair a battery pack. Refer any battery pack repair
or replacement to your service representative or qualified service
personnel.
• 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.

Polymer/Lithium-Ion Battery Precautions
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.

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.

English
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. 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 left of the com-
puter, 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).
6. Press the power button to turn the computer “on”.
System Software
Your computer may already come with system software pre-in-
stalled. Where this is not the case, or where you are re-configuring
your computer for a different system, you will find this manual re-
fers to Microsoft Windows 11.
RAID Support
You need to setup RAID before installing your Windows operating
system (see RAID Setup on page 5).
Figure 1 - Opening the Lid/Computer
with AC/DC Adapter Plugged-In

Shut Down
Note that you should always
shut your computer down by
choosing the Shut down com-
mand 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 Setup
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 neces-
sary files and data before doing so.
To configure your RAID (Redundant Array of Indepen-
dent Disks) system in Striping (RAID 0) or Mirroring
(RAID 1) mode (see Table 1) you will require two identi-
cal solid state drives.
Table 1 - RAID Description
Prepare the following before setting up your PCIe SSDs
in RAID mode:
•TheMicrosoft Windows 11 OS on a DVD or USB flash
drive.
• A connected external DVD drive.
• Two identical PCIe solid state drives.
•TheDevice 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 be-
havior.
RAID Level Description
RAID 0
(at lease two
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 drive.
RAID 1
(at lease two
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.
