Warning from the Windows Security Center
A warning from the Windows Security Center is displayed the first time you switch on your
device. The Security Center checks the status of the device with regard to the three
important safety aspects listed below. If a problem is detected (an outdated antivirus
program, for example), the Security Center issues a warning and makes recommendations
on how you can better protect the device.
●
Firewall: The Windows Firewall adds protection to the device by blocking network or
Internet access to the device by unauthorized users. Windows checks if the device is
protected by a software firewall.
The firewall is enabled by default in the delivery state.
●
Antivirus software: Antivirus programs add protection to the device by searching for and
eliminating viruses and other security threats. Windows checks if a full-range, up-to-date
antivirus program is running on the device. No antivirus software is installed in the
delivery state.
●
Automatic updates: Using the Automatic Update feature allows Windows to regularly
search for the latest critical updates for the device and to install them automatically. This
feature is disabled in the delivery state.
●
Real-time protection (only with Windows 7): Windows Defender displays warnings if
spyware or possibly unwanted software is installed or executed on the computer. You will
also receive a warning if programs attempt to modify important Windows settings. This
feature is disabled in the delivery state.
Configure the Security Center according to your requirements.

Notes on different device configurations
4.4.1
RAID1 system (optional)
This is a RAID1 system configuration (mirroring with two hard disks). This configuration
enhances system availability as the system is able to continue operation if a hard drive fails,
or if there is a cable problem at a channel.
The two hard disks are configured as follows in the factory state of the device:
RAID1 system
Partition C: System, NTFS, 50 GB
Partition D: Data, NTFS, remaining capacity
Note
You can find information regarding Intel RAID controllers in the RAID documentation on the
included "Documentation and Drivers" DVD in the Drivers\RAID\Intel directory.
