SAFETY SUMMARY (Continued)

1.3

NOTICEz This device cannot guarantee system safety by itself. To mitigate unlikely
device malfunctions or faults due to failure or misuse, design your system bytaking care to implement protective measures against personal injury or
disaster, such as external protection and safety circuits.
z Use the basic software that we specify. Operation is not guaranteed if any
other basic software is used.
z Avoid using this device in dusty areas or environments with corrosive gases,
as this may lead to failure.
z When emergency cutoff is performed (the power cable is unplugged or the
breaker is cut without performing OS shutdown processing), the system
program may require reloading due to loss of journal information, dependingon the processing program. As such, do not perform emergency cutoff unlessabsolutely necessary due to malfunction.
z Keep in mind that if the power supply is cut, the system may not be able torecover automatically.
z Once disk access is complete, eject the disk from the DVD drive.

WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL
2.1“NOTICE” Indicationz This device may lose important files depending on the type of failure. Files
may also be lost due to factors other than device failure, including misuse or
power outages during use. In such cases, these files cannot be recovered. To
protect against such situations, incorporate file saving into daily operation,and back up files regularly.
(See page i)z The recovery DVD contains an image file created from the factory-set
hardware configuration. As such, if the hardware configuration differs fromthe factory settings, the operating system may not run normally even when
restoration is performed. For restoration using the recovery DVD, remove all
external memory devices, and then use the factory-set hardware
configuration.
Likewise, since using the recovery DVD will delete all data on the system
drive, perform backup beforehand as necessary.

The following shows an overall flow for these procedures.
Preparations

See “3.2 Preparations.”• The following are items for which preparations
need to be confirmed before starting.

Restoring to factory settings

See “3.3 Restoring a System Drive to Factory
Settings.”• Restore the contents of the system drive to factory
settings.

Precautions Regarding the Windows® 7 Command Prompt
When multiple (several hundred) command prompts are opened without restarting Windows®
7, the desktop screen may not be redrawn normally. This is because Explorer (process name:explorer.exe) consumes drawing resources every time a command prompt is opened.
When opening command prompts frequently (such as when executing batch files repeatedly),
you have to restart Windows® 7 regularly. Also restart Windows® 7 when this phenomenon
occurs.

Default Scheduled Functionality of Windows® 7
With Windows® 7, several kinds of functionality are scheduled by default to run regularly inthe background. This functionality includes Windows Defender (anti-spyware functionality)and disk defrag, which place significant load on the system during operation, and can affectthe operation of running applications. As such, we recommend changing the schedule times asnecessary to prevent overlap with schedules on which applications run.
The initial schedule settings are as follows.

model does not support Windows XP Mode.
• Windows XP Mode does not guarantee operation for all Windows® XP applications.
• When using Windows XP Mode, install the main memory card that satisfies the following
sizes:
If the OS is a 32-bit version: 2 GB or more
If the OS is a 64-bit version: 3 GB or more
<When Windows XP Mode is not used>
Since the files used for Windows XP Mode setup contain a virtual hard disk file for the guest OS,
they occupy roughly 2 GB of disk space. As such, if Windows XP Mode is not used, werecommend the following procedures to delete these directories.
1. Log on as a computer administrator if not already logged on as such.
2. Open a command prompt.
• Click the [Start] button, and choose [All Programs].
• Click [Accessories].
• Right-click [Command Prompt], and choose [Run as administrator] from the displayedmenu.
