Operating Information 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 workstation by cleaning dust, water, and etc.
Operating Information Power on Simply press the power button to turn on the workstation. Note: Press and hold the power button for 5 Seconds could force the workstation to shutdown For those with the optional LCD heater: Usually, when Heater warm up LCD to +5℃, then the workstation will turn on. But if the heating time exceeds 5 minutes, it is also forced to turn on the machine.
Operating Information Boot Up and POST Boot up The workstation turns ON and loads the operating system (such as Windows) into the system memory. This start-up procedure is called “boot up”. The ROM BIOS Power on Self-Test (POST) Each time the workstation powers on, it automatically performs a self-test of its memory and hardware devices. Fan Self-Test If a fan malfunction is detected, the system will stop and show a message to notify the user.
Operating Information Shut down Directly click “Shut down” from your OS to turn OFF the power of your workstation. Before shutting down, please remember to save any unfinished works and close the applications to prevent your SSD from suffering possible data loss or damage. “Shut down” will turn OFF power of your workstation.

Managing Power Chapter Three - Managing Power AC Adapter The AC adapter performs two functions: It powers the workstation from an external AC source. It charges the workstation battery. The adapter automatically detects the AC line voltage (100V or 240V) and adjusts accordingly. The following are recommended when using the AC adapter: Use a properly grounded AC outlet. Use one AC outlet exclusively for the workstation. Having other appliances on the same line may cause interference.
Managing Power Battery The power source will automatically switch to battery when the external power source (AC adapter or optional vehicle adapter) is disconnected. Battery Low When the battery is nearly exhausted, the workstation gives the following “Battery Low” warnings: Windows battery low warning (when operating system is Windows). The power LED flashes. Once the Battery Low warning occurs, please: Save and close the files you are currently working on.
Managing Power Battery Gauge You may check battery status from battery gauge in Windows. Click the power/battery icon to reveal the battery gauge window. Battery Power Saving Tips The workstation comes with an intelligent power-saving feature. You may extend the battery life by: Setup power saving functions in Operating System Power Management options (e.g. Windows Power Options). Lower the intensity of the display by brightness control. Use standby option when workstation is temporarily not in use.
Managing Power Battery Recalibration Battery recalibration allows users to maintain the battery in a healthy condition. To perform battery recalibration, please follow the steps as below: 1. Update BIOS & EC to the latest version xxx.xxx or later. 2. Insert the battery to the workstation, and connect it to AC adapter. 3. Enter the BIOS => Choose “Advanced menu” => Choose “Battery Recalibration” => Press “Enter”. (See Chapter4: BIOS Setup - Advanced - Battery Recalibration Sub-Menu) 4.
Managing Power Power Conservation This workstation consumes much less power than conventional workstations. However, power consumption may be reduced by configuring the Power Management Setup properly. It is recommended the power saving functions be enabled even when not running on battery power. Power Management will not degrade performance while saving power. Supporting ACPI Your workstation supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power management.
