Not Included

Operating Systems (e.g. 

Windows 8.1

) and applications (e.g. word processing, spreadsheet and database pro-

grams) have their own manuals, so please consult the appropriate manuals.

Drivers

If you are installing new system software, or are re-configuring your computer for a different system, you will need to install
the drivers listed in 

“Drivers & Utilities (Win 8.1)” on page 4 - 1

. Drivers are programs which act as an interface between

the computer and a hardware component e.g. a wireless network module. It is very important that you install the drivers
in the order listed. You will be unable to use most advanced controls until the necessary drivers and utilities are properly
installed. If your system hasn’t been properly configured (your service representative may have already done that for you);
refer to 

Chapter 4

 for installation instructions.

Ports and Jacks

See 

“Interface (Ports & Jacks)” on page A - 1

 for a description of the interface (ports & jacks) which allow your computer

to communicate with external devices, connect to the internet etc.
