Shut DownNote that you should always shut your computer down by clicking Settings in the Charms Bar (use the Windows Logo Key + C key combination to access the Charms Bar) and choosing Shut down from the Power menu. This will help prevent hard disk or system problems.4 English Model Differences This notebook series includes two different model types that mainly differ as indicated in the table below. Note that your model may appear slightly different from those pictured in this manual. Table 1 - Model Differences HDD RAID Support Your hard disk(s) can be set up in AHCI mode or RAID mode (for increased performance or protection). Note that set- ting up your hard disk(s) in RAID mode needs to be done prior to installing the Windows OS (see RAID Setup on page 5).

Table 2 - RAID Description Prepare the following before setting up your serial ATA hard disks in RAID mode:

1. The Microsoft Windows 8 OS disc.2. A hard disk installed in the Primary HDD bay.

3. A second (identical) hard disk installed in the Secondary HDD

bay. 4. The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc.5. A USB flash drive.6. 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 Setup Procedure Before setting up the system you will need to copy a driver folder (on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc) to a USB flash drive or external USB hard disk. However you will need to go to an operable computer and copy the driver folder to a USB flash drive or external USB hard disk.

1. Go to the operable computer and insert a USB flash drive or external USB hard disk.

2. Insert the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc into

the CD/DVD drive of the operable computer.

3. Copy the f6flpy-x64 folder from the location below (D: denotes

your DVD drive) on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual disc to the USB flash drive or external USB hard disk. RAID Level DescriptionRAID 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.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.6 English

Manual Driver Installation Click the Browse CD/DVD button in the Drivers Installer application and browse to the executable file in the appropriate driver folder. If a Found New Hardware wizard appears during the installation procedure, click Can- cel, and follow the installation procedure as directed.

Driver Installation General GuidelinesAs a general guide followthe default onscreen in-structions for each driver (e.g. Next > Next > Fin- ish) unless you are an ad-vanced user. In manycases a restart is requiredto install the driver.Make sure any modules(e.g. PC Camera orWLAN ) are ON before in-stalling the appropriatedriver.Windows UpdateAfter installing all the driv-ers make sure you enableWindows Update in or-der to get all the latest se-curity updates etc. (allupdates will include thelatest hotfixes from Mi-crosoft).

Driver Installation & PowerWhen installing drivers make sure yourcomputer is powered by the AC/DCadapter connected to a working powersource. Some drivers draw a significantamount of power during the installationprocedure, and if the remaining batterycapacity is not adequate this may causethe system to shut down and cause sys-tem problems (note that there is no safetyissue involved here, and the battery willbe rechargeable within 1 minute).Figure 19 - Install Drivers27 English Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause - Solution The Wireless LAN/ Bluetooth modules cannot be detected. The modules are off as the computer is in Airplane Mode. Check the LED indicator and/or function key indicator to see if it is in Airplane Mode (see Table 4 on page 10). Use the Fn + F11 key combination or the Airplane Mode button to toggle Airplane Mode on/off (see Table 7 on page 12). The PC Camera module cannot be detected. The module is off. Press the Fn + F10 key combination in order to enable the module (see Table 7 on page 12). Run the camera application to view the camera picture. The captured video files from the PC Camera are taking up too much disk space. Note that capturing high resolution video files requires a substantial amount of disk space for each file. Note that the Windows system requires a minimum of 16GB (32bit) or 20GB (64bit) of free space on the C: drive system partition. It is recommended that you save the capture video file to a location other than the C:drive, limit the file size of the captured video or reduce video resolution.28 English Specifications Processor Options Intel® Core™ i7 Processori7-4900MQ (2.80GHz)8MB L3 Cache, 22nm, DDR3L-1600MHz, TDP 47Wi7-4800MQ (2.70GHz), i7-4700MQ (2.40GHz)6MB L3 Cache, 22nm, DDR3L-1600MHz, TDP 47W Core Logic Intel® HM87 Chipset BIOS One 48Mb SPI Flash ROMAMI BIOS
