Not Included
Operating Systems (e.g. Windows 7) and applications (e.g. word processing, spreadsheet and database programs)
have their own manuals, so please consult the appropriate manuals.
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 that this manual refers to the Windows 7
operating system
Drivers
If you are installing new system software, or are re-configuring your computer for a different system, you will need to install
the drivers listed in “Drivers & Utilities” on page 4 - 1. Drivers are programs which act as an interface between the com-
puter and a hardware component e.g. a wireless network module. It is very important that you install the drivers in the order
listed. You will be unable to use most advanced controls until the necessary drivers and utilities are properly installed. If
your system hasn’t been properly configured (your service representative may have already done that for you); refer to
Chapter 4 for installation instructions.
Ports and Jacks
See “Notebook Ports and Jacks” on page A - 2 for a description of the interface (ports & jacks) which allow your com-
puter to communicate with external devices, connect to the internet etc.
