Operating Chapter Two- Operating Information Workplace A clean and moisture-free environment is preferred. Make room for air circulation. Remember to avoid areas from: Sudden or extreme changes in temperature. Extreme heat. Strong electromagnetic fields (near television set, motor rotation area, etc.). Dust or high humidity. If it is necessary to work in a hostile environment, please regularly maintain your notebook computer by cleaning dust, water, and etc. to keep it in an optimal condition.
Operating and devices on the left or right must have caps tightly closed or cable inlets sealed while being exposed to water or dust. There are optional gaskets for DB-9 and DB-25 connectors. You may install them to improve rain/ dust/ moisture resistance on your commercial type cable. Insert the packing into the male connector (with pins) and fasten the screws. All connectors will be corroded if being exposed to water or moisture. Corrosion is accelerated if the power is ON.
Operating Shut down Before shutting down, please always remember to save the unfinished works and close the application for preventing from any possible data loss or HDD damage. “Shut down” will totally turn OFF the power of your notebook computer. If you want to start your notebook computer again, you need to press the power switch. Sleep/ Hibernate Sleep Under “Sleep” mode, the system will temporarily save your work into RAM. You are able to do enter “Sleep” mode by directly clicking from your OS.
Operating Keyboard The keyboard is functionally equivalent to a full size desktop keyboard. A sample layout is shown below. The Numeric Keypad The numeric keypad functions are the same as an electronic calculator. It is embedded in the main keyboard, with the numeric figures printed on the upper right of their respective keys. There are keys for the digits 0~9, the decimal point ( . ), addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ), multiplication ( * ), and division ( / ) in the keypad.
Operating Keyboard Backlight (Optional) Press [Fn] [F5] key for approximately 1 second to turn the keyboard backlight ON or OFF. Hard Disk Drive (HDD) The Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is a 2.5” type/ 9.5mm height standard SATA interface data storage device. HDD and ODD (Optical Disk Drive) are removable. This design provides convenience and security. They can ONLY be removed when the power is OFF. Note: NEVER drop your HDD, ODD or expose them to high temperature, high humidity, or any hazardous environment.
Operating computer malfunction. The following procedure assumes that all the necessary ODD utilities were installed on the computer. For ODD utility installation, please refer to “Utilities and Drivers”. ODD also can be removed and swapped with the 2nd battery or 2nd SATA HDD. Put disk into the ODD While the power is ON, push the ejecting button of ODD. The tray will release. Then gently pull the tray out. Put the disk with its label facing up on the holder and push the tray back into the cabinet.
