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 the Windows 8.1 operating system is sup-
ported.

RAID & AHCI Setup

Note that setting up a RAID, or AHCI mode, needs to be done prior to installing the Windows OS (see

“Setting

Up SATA RAID or AHCI Mode” on page 7 - 2

).

Model Differences

This notebook series includes different models (Models A, B, C & D) that vary slightly in design style, color
and general appearance (Models B & C include two different design styles). Not all the model variants, colors,
configurations, buttons etc., are pictured in this manual. Note that though your computer may look slightly dif-
ferent from that pictured throughout this manual, all ports, jacks and general functions are the same for all the
design styles (see

“Specifications” on page D - 1

for further details). See the table overleaf for an outline of

some of the model differences.

Windows OS

Note that the information included on the following pages is for Windows 8.1 only. In order to run Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

without limitations or decreased performance, your computer requires a minimum 2GB of system memory (RAM).
