About Your Electronic User’s Guide

The illustrations, colours and pictures shown are for descriptive purposes. They may vary

slightly from country to country and the unit you purchase. Please refer to the finished product

for final configurations. Specifications and model names are subject to change without notice.

Text Setup

To make this document as easy to use as possible, additional texts will appear throughout. The

following details the layout and meaning of these additional texts.

Note

Notes give particularly important information about an item being described.

CAUTION

Cautions indicate situations that can damage the computer hardware or software.

WARNING

Warnings alert you to situations that could result in serious personal injury or even

loss of life.

* *For specific models only

Items marked with an asterisk (*) denotes optional items only supplied for specific

models. If the items are not found in the packaging box, it means that they are not

applicable to the system you have just purchased, hence they are not included for

you in the system.

Electronic User’s Guide

To help you familiarise yourself with your new system, we have preinstalled an “Electronic

User’s Guide” for you inside the system (for specific models only, and only applicable to the

Windows®operating system). This guide will contain more information on your system and

Windows®.

Visit our website at www.nec-computers-ap.com regularly to download the most up-to-date

Electronic User’s Guide and print it for your reference.

We recommend that you print this documentation; it will then be easily accessible even

when your computer is shut down.

• To print the Electronic User’s Guide, click “File” on the top menubar, and then click “Print”

from the dropdown menu. You must have a printer installed and connected to be able to

print.

Print in small booklets using recycled paper. Make two-sided prints and copies using the

“duplex” function, print multiple images/page per page, and print only the quantity you need

at the time you need it. This gives you a handy way to store the booklet nearby and saves

paper.

Basic Care and Handling Tips

Protect the computer from extremely low or high temperatures.

Let the computer warm (or cool) to room temperature before

using it.

Keep the computer away from magnetised areas (some airline

tray tables are magnetic; do not set your computer on top of

them). Doing so may damage the data on your hard drive.

Keep the computer dry.

Do not wipe the computer with a wet cloth or pour fluid onto it.

Protect the computer from strong physical contact, such as

being bumped or dropped.

Check the computer for condensation.

If condensation is present, allow it to evaporate before

switching on the computer.

Keep the computer away from dust, sand and dirt.

CAUTION

Immediately turn off and unplug the computer under the following conditions:

• The power cord has been damaged or frayed.

• Liquid has spilled on or into the computer.

• The computer has been dropped or its casing has been damaged.

- 5-

Storage Requirements

Store the computer and AC adaptor in an environment that meets the following

conditions:

Should the temperature of the computer suddenly rise or fall (for example, when you move

the computer from a cold place to a warm place), vapour may condense inside the computer.

Turning on the computer under such conditions can damage the internal computer

components.

Before turning on the computer, wait until the computer's internal temperature stabilises with

the new environment and any internal moisture has evaporated.

•Operate and store your computer within the recommended temperatures and humidity

levels (refer to the section on “Product Storage Environment Guidelines” for more

information).

•Keep the storage area free from vibration and magnetic fields.

•Keep the computer and its components away from organic solvents or corrosive gases.

•Avoid leaving the computer and its components under direct sunlight or near heat

sources.

Starting Up Your Computer for the First Time

Packing List

Before you begin using your computer, please remove all the items inside the packaging box

and make sure that you have all the items in the packing list, illustrated below.

Note

The illustrations, colours and pictures shown are for descriptive purposes. They

may vary slightly from country to country and the unit you purchase.

1. System Unit

The system unit is the main part of the computer which houses many important parts such

as the processor, memory and motherboard. This is the most important item; it is usually

box-shaped.

2. Power Cable*

This cable connects your system directly to an Alternating Current (AC) power outlet,

supplying power for it to run.

3. Wired Keyboard & Wired Mouse*

These are your main input devices, which you will use to operate and navigate around your

system.

4. USB Receiver, Wireless Keyboard & Wireless Mouse*

These come with certain models, and work just as a wired keyboard and mouse do, but via

a wireless connection.

5. Quick Reference*

A printed documentation that contains details about the installation, operation and

maintenance of your computer.

- 7-

Note

For information on the specification of your computer, please refer to the System

Configuration Label on the packaging box that comes with your system.

Setting Up and Booting Your Computer

The first thing you need to do is to set your system up correctly, making sure that all the

essential devices and cables are properly connected. In addition to the items listed in the

packing list, you will also need:

1. A suitable monitor as a display device. The monitor you use should depend on what type of

video interface your system’s graphic card uses. Ask your vendor what video interface your

system is using; either analog (VGA) or digital (DVI/HDMI). Make sure the monitor you use

supports your graphic card.

2. A video signal cable. This cable will connect your system to the monitor. The type of cable

depends on your monitor.

Step 1

For system units with a graphic card

If you are using a monitor that supports DVI, connect one end of the DVI cable to the graphic

card’s DVI port and the other end to the monitor’s DVI port.

- 8-

If you are using a monitor that only supports VGA, connect one end of the VGA cable to the

graphic card’s VGA port and the other end to the monitor’s VGA port.

Note

Major monitors that support DVI also support VGA, but you must connect it

to the graphic card’s VGA port for it to work.

For system units without a graphic card

Connect one end of the VGA cable to the system unit’s VGA port and the other end to the

monitor’s VGA port.

- 9-

Step 2

Connect the USB connectors of the keyboard and mouse into any USB ports on the system

unit. In this example we will be using the USB ports located on the back of the system unit.

Note

If you are using a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse, ignore Step 2 and

proceed to Step 3.

Step 3

Place the system unit in its proper position.

(i) Now, connect the power cable to the system unit

(ii) Connect its plug to an AC power outlet.

CAUTION

Before you connect or disconnect the power cord at the AC Port of your computer,

please ensure that the power plug is disconnected from the wall outlet.

- 10 -

Step 4

Switch on the AC power outlet. Then, press the “Power” button on the system unit to boot or

start up your computer for the first time.

And that’s all!

Note

If you are using a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse, proceed to “Using a Wireless

Keyboard and Wireless Mouse”. Then, proceed to the section on “Setting up Your

Operating System”.

You’ve successfully booted your computer for the first time. Now, proceed to the section on

“Setting up Your Operating System” to learn how to set up your computer’s operating system.

WARNING

Do not place this computer on your lap and/or allow it to be in contact with any

part of your body while operating.

Using a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse

Once you have switched on the power to your computer, follow these steps to install your

wireless keyboard and wireless mouse.

Step 1

1a: Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the wireless keyboard by

sliding off the cover. Take care not to break the cover.
