S9-S10 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 3 Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:53 PM Explanation of Hard Disk Capacity Dear user, While using your computer, you may discover that the nominal hard disk capacity indicated is somewhat different from the disk capacity displayed by the operating system. For example, a nominal 80GB hard disk will appear as less than 80GB in the operating system. This discrepancy is not an error in hard disk installation nor any other problem, but a normal phenomenon of computers. This phenomenon is primarily due to the following reasons: I. Different standards used by the manufacturer and operating system when calculating hard disk capacity Hard disk manufacturers use a radix of 1000, i.e. 1G = 1,000MB, 1MB = 1,000KB, 1KB = 1,000 bytes. However, when identifying hard disk capacity, operating systems use a radix of 1024, i.e. 1GB = 1,024MB, 1MB = 1,024KB, 1KB = 1,024 bytes. The standard adopted by your computer is that of the hard disk manufacturers. Since the standards adopted by the hard disk manufacturer and operating system are different, the hard disk capacity displayed by the operating system will be different from the nominal hard disk capacity. For example, if the hard disk is nominally X G, even when it is completely empty, the capacity displayed by the operating system will be: X × 1000 × 1000 × 1000/ (1024 × 1024 × 1024) | X × 0.931 G S9-S10 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 4 Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:53 PM If a portion of the hard disk space has been used for some specific purpose, then the capacity indicated by the operating system will be even less than X × 0.931 G. II. A portion of the hard disk space is used for specific purposes Lenovo computers come with preinstalled OneKey Rescue System, so the hard disk has a special portion partitioned before delivery, which is used to store hard disk mirror and OneKey Rescue System program files. The size of the reserved space for this partition varies according to the model, operating system and software of the computer. For the sake of safety, this partition is not evident, which is commonly referred to as a “hidden partition”. In addition, after the hard disk is partitioned or formatted, the system will assign a certain amount of hard disk space for the system files. For the above reasons, the available hard disk space indicated by the operating system is always less than the computer’s nominal hard disk capacity.

Using Your Computer Installing Device Drivers ---------------------------------------------------------A compatible device driver is a requirement to ensure correct operation and performance of each component in your computer. Lenovo provides all drivers that you need in your Disk “D:”. Notes: Most installations require a reboot to update the driver, otherwise the system’s stability and audio or video effect may be compromised, or you even have to reinstall the operating system. Using battery and AC adapter ----------------------------------------------When you need to use your computer away from electrical outlets, you depend on battery power to keep your computer running. Different computer components consume power at different rates. The more you use the power-intensive components, the faster you consume battery power. Your Computer Batteries Your computer batteries enable you to do more, save more, and spend more time unplugged. Mobility has revolutionized business by enabling you to take your work wherever you go. With your computer batteries, you will be able to work longer without being tied to an electrical outlet. Note: The operating system may run slower when using the battery mode. Attention: Any use of the battery other than the original or Lenovo battery will result in“burning” or “fire”. Dispose of the used battery depending on the instructions. 25 S9-S10 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 26 Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:53 PM Chapter 2. Using Your Computer Checking Battery Status You can determine the percentage of battery power remaining by using Windows Power options. The rate at which you use battery power determines how long you can use the battery of your computer between charges. As each computer user has different habits and needs, it is difficult to predict how long a battery charge will last. There are two main factors: The amount of energy stored in the battery when you begin to work. The way you use your computer: for example, how often you access the hard disk drive and how bright you make the computer display. Using the AC Adapter The power to run your computer can come either from the lithium-ion (Liion) battery pack provided with it, or from AC power through the AC adapter. While you use AC power, the battery charges automatically. The AC adapter that comes with your computer has two basic components: 1 The transformer pack that converts AC power for use with the computer. 2 The power cord that plugs into the AC outlet and into the transformer pack. Attention: Using an improper power cord could cause severe damage to your computer. To use the AC adapter, do the following. Be sure to take these steps in the order in which they are given here. 26 S9-S10 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 27 Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:53 PM Chapter 2. Using Your Computer 1 Connect the power cord to the transformer pack. 2 Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. 3 Connect the AC adapter to the AC power adapter jack of the computer. You can check the status of your battery at any time by looking at the battery meter at the bottom of your display. Notes: When you do not use the AC adapter, disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the AC power transformer pack when it is connected to the transformer. You can charge the battery when the AC adapter is connected to the computer and the battery is installed. You need to charge it in any of the following conditions: When you purchase a new battery If the battery status indicator (amber) starts blinking If the battery has not been used for a long time Before you charge the battery, make sure that its temperature is at least 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit). 27 S9-S10 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 28 Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:53 PM Chapter 2. Using Your Computer Charging the Battery When you check the battery status and find that the battery is low, you need to charge the battery or replace it with a charged battery. If an AC outlet is convenient, first, connect the power cord to the transformer pack; second, plug the power cord into an electrical outlet; and then connect the AC adapter to the power jack of the computer. The charging time is affected by the physical environment. Note: To increase the life of the battery, the computer does not start recharging the battery if the remaining power is no less than 95 percent. Handling the Battery Danger: Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery pack. Attempting to do so can cause an explosion, or liquid leakage from the battery pack. A battery pack other than the one specified by Lenovo, or a disassembled or modified battery pack is not covered by the warranty.
