clean periodically and avoid dusts.
Cleaning supplies: vacuum cleaner, soft cotton cloth, clear water (pure water preferred) and cotton swabs
can be used to clean the components.
2. General Cleaning Methods
TDusts on the surface of mainframe, monitor, printer, speaker and mouse can be wiped off using soft cloth
while dusts at inaccessible corners can be removed by vacuum cleaner.
To clean the keyboard thoroughly, you may shutdown the mainframe and scrub it gently with a cloth dipped
in water - do not use the keyboard until it is dry.
Prevent water from entering the computer.
Do not use wet cloth. Do not spray water directly onto the surface of monitor and inside of mainframe.
Special attention should be given to LCD monitors - keep it clean and avoid grease stain. It is recommended to

2.The capacity of the hard disk displayed in the system is less than the nominal
capacity
For equipped with One-Key Recovery feature, the system recovery feature needs to occupy some hard
disk space which is invisible in either the operating system or partition utilities such as FDISK, thus the
available hard disk space is less than the actual capacity.
The nominal capacity of the hard disk uses the decimal system of 1000 bytes, while the actual capacity
uses the binary system of 1024 bytes (for example, the nominal capacity 1G = 1000M, while the actual
capacity 1G = 1024M); the capacity of the hard disk shown in Windows can be calculated according to
the calculation method in the following example:
The nominal capacity of the hard disk is 40G, while its actual capacity should be: 40 x 1000 x 1000
x1000/ (1024 x 1024 x 1024) = 37G.
If the hidden partition of 3G - 3 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000/ (1024 x 1024 x1024) = 2.79G is subtracted, the
capacity of the hard disk shown in the system can be obtained. The capacity of the hard disk calculated

with above method may be slightly different from the actual capacity for such reason as rounding.
