System Software
Your computer may already come with system software
pre-installed. Where this is not the case, or where you are
re-configuring your computer for a different system, you
will find this manual refers to the
Microsoft Windows Vis-
ta
operating system. Further information on installing the
drivers and utilities is available in Chapters 4 & 7 of the
expanded
User’s Manual
on the
Device Drivers & Utili-
ties + User’s Manual
disc.
Model Differences
This computer series includes
two
different model types
(each model includes different design styles). The exact
outward appearance and some of the Hot-Key buttons
may appear slightly different from those illustrated in this
manual, however all the ports, components and functions
etc. are the same for each design style
(
see
“System Map:
Front View with LCD Panel Open” on page 4
).
Shut Down
Note that you should always shut your computer down by
choosing the
Shut Down
command from the
Lock Button
Menu
in
Windows Vista
. This will help prevent hard disk or
system problems.
