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 40GB hard
disk will appear as less than 40GB 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

Lenovo IdeaPad Y730 UG V1.0_en.book Page 4 Friday, June 27, 2008 6:06 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 Passwords
Using passwords helps prevent your computer from being used by others.
Once you set a password and enable it, a prompt appears on the screen
each time you power on the computer. Enter your password at the prompt.
The computer cannot be used unless you enter the correct password.
Make sure that only authorized individuals access your computer.
Establishing different kinds of passwords requires that other possible users
know the proper passwords in order to access your computer or your data.
As many as three passwords might be needed for your computer: the
Supervisor password, the User password, and the Hard disk drive (HDD)
password. When the Supervisor password is set, only the Supervisor
password entitles you full control of the computer.
ƒ Supervisor password
With a Supervisor password, you can get full control of the computer. It
also can be used as a power-on password if Password on boot is set to
Enabled. Also, when you enter the InsydeH20 Setup Utility with a
Supervisor password, you are entitled to set all of the options.
ƒ User password
If a User password is set and Password on boot is set to Enabled, a
password prompt appears when you turn on the computer.
Unauthorized users cannot get access to configuration data. You can also
use the User password to enter the InsydeH20 Setup Utility, but only a
part of the options can be set. User password can not be set if Supervisor
password is not set.

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.

„
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:
ƒ The amount of energy stored in the battery when you begin to work.
ƒ 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 (Li-
ion) 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
2
The transformer pack that converts AC power for use with the computer.
The power cord that plugs into the AC outlet and into the transformer pack.

You can check the status of your battery at any time by looking at the
battery meter at the bottom of your display.
Note:
ꢁ
ƒ
When you do not use the AC adapter, disconnect it from the electrical outlet.
ƒ Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the AC power transformer
pack when it is connected to the transformer.
ƒ 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:
ƒ When you purchase a new battery
ƒ If the battery status indicator (amber) starts blinking
ƒ 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).

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.

Conditions That Require Immediate Action
Products can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some product
damage is serious enough that the product should not be used again until it
has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an authorized servicer.
As with any electronic device, pay close attention to the product when it is
turned on. On very rare occasions, you might notice an odor or see a puff of
smoke or sparks vent from your product. Or you might hear sounds like
popping, cracking, or hissing. These conditions might merely mean that an
internal electronic component has failed in a safe and controlled manner.
Or, they might indicate a potential safety issue. However, do not take risks
or attempt to diagnose the situation yourself. Contact the Customer
Support Center for further guidance. For a list of Service and Support
phone numbers, see http://consumersupport.lenovo.com.
Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage or wear
or signs of danger. If you have any question about the condition of a
component, do not use the product. Contact the Customer Support Center
or the product manufacturer for instructions on how to inspect the product
and have it repaired, if necessary.
In the unlikely event that you notice any of the following conditions, or if
you have any safety concerns with your product, stop using the product
and unplug it from the power source and telecommunication lines until
you can speak to the Customer Support Center for further guidance.
ƒ Power cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors,
or power supplies that are cracked, broken, or damaged.

Service and Upgrades
Attention:
ꢀ
Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so
by the Customer Support Center or your documentation. Only use a
service provider who is approved to repair your particular product.
Note:
ꢁ
Some computer parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer.
Upgrades typically are referred to as options. Replacement parts
approved for customer installation are referred to as Customer
Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo provides documentation with
instructions when it is appropriate for customers to install options or
replace CRUs. You must closely follow all instructions when installing
or replacing parts. The Off state of a power indicator does not
necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a product are zero. Before
you remove the covers from a product equipped with an ac power
cord, always make sure that the power is turned off and that the
product is unplugged from any power source. For more information
on CRUs, See “Appendix B. Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs)” on
page 119. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Customer
Support Center.
Although there are no moving parts in your computer after the power
cord has been disconnected, the following warnings are required for
your safety.

H03VV-F, 3G, 0.75 mm2, or better. For other countries, the suitable
types shall be used accordingly.
Never wrap a power cord around a power adapter or other object.
Doing so can stress the cord in ways that can cause the cord to fray,
crack, or crimp. This can present a safety hazard.
Always route power cords or any other cables so that they will not be
walked on, tripped over, or pinched by objects.

Chapter 6. Safety, Use, and Care Information
Protect power cords and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do
not leave your power cord or power adapter near sinks, tubs, toilets, or
on floors that are cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause a
short circuit, particularly if the power cord or power adapter has been
stressed by misuse. Liquids also can cause gradual corrosion of power
cord terminals and/or the connector terminals on a power adapter,
which can eventually result in overheating.
Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and
ensure that all power cord connectors are securely and completely
plugged into receptacles.
Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input
pins or shows signs of overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac
input or anywhere on the power adapter.
Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end
show signs of corrosion or overheating or where the power cord
appears to have been damaged in any way.

Heat and Product Ventilation
Danger:
ꢁ
Computers, AC adapters, and many accessories can generate heat
when turned on and when batteries are charging. Notebook computers
can generate a significant amount of heat due to their compact size.
Always follow these basic precautions:
ƒ When your computer is turned on or the battery is charging, the base,
the palm rest, and some other parts may become hot. Avoid keeping
your hands, your lap, or any other part of your body in contact with a
hot section of the computer for any extended length of time. When you
use the keyboard, avoid keeping your palms on the palm rest for a
prolonged period of time. Your computer generates some heat during
normal operation. The amount of heat depends on the amount of system
activity and the battery charge level. Extended contact with your body,
even through clothing, could cause discomfort or even a skin burn.
Periodically take breaks from using the keyboard by lifting your hands
from the palm rest; and be careful not to use the keyboard for any
extended length of time.
ƒ Do not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable
materials or in explosive environments.

Chapter 6. Safety, Use, and Care Information
Caring Your Computer---------------------------------------------------------------
Though your computer is designed to function reliably in normal work
environments, you need to use common sense in handling it. By following
these important tips, you will get the most use and enjoyment out of your
computer.
„
Be Careful about Where and How You Work
ƒ Do not leave the base of your computer, or any other part that becomes
hot during operation, in contact with your lap or any part of your body
for an extended period when the computer is functioning or when the
battery is charging. Your computer dissipates some heat during normal
operation. This heat is a function of the level of system activity and
battery charge level. Extended contact with your body, even through
clothing, could cause discomfort or, eventually, a skin burn.
ƒ When the AC adapter is connected to an electrical outlet and your
computer, it generates heat. Do not place the adapter in contact with any
part of your body while using it. Never use the AC adapter to warm
your body. Extended contact with your body, even through clothing,
may cause a skin burn.
ƒ Route the cables of an AC adapter, a mouse, a keyboard, a printer, or any
other electronic device, or communication lines, so that they cannot be
walked on, tripped over, pinched by your computer or other objects, or in
any way subjected to treatment that could disturb the operation of your
computer. Applying strong force to the cables may damage or break them.

Chapter 6. Safety, Use, and Care Information
ƒ Place liquids away from your computer to avoid spills, and keep your
computer away from water (to avoid the danger of electrical shock).
ƒ Do not eat or smoke over your keyboard. Particles that fall into your
keyboard can cause damage.
ƒ Store packing materials safely out of the reach of children to prevent the
risk of suffocation from plastic bags.
ƒ Keep your computer away from magnets, activated cellular phones,
electrical appliances, or speakers (within 13 cm or 5 in).
ƒ Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5°C/
41°F or above 35°C/95°F).
ƒ Some appliances, such as certain portable desktop fans or air purifiers,
can produce negative ions. If a computer is close to such an appliance,
and is exposed for an extended time to air containing negative ions, it
may become electrostatically charged. Such a charge may be discharged
through your hands when you touch the keyboard or other parts of the
computer, or through connectors on I/O devices connected to it. Even
though this kind of electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the opposite of a
discharge from your body or clothing to the computer, it poses the same
risk of a computer malfunction.
Your computer is designed and manufactured to minimize any effects of
electrostatic charge. An electrostatic charge above a certain limit,
however, can increase the risk of ESD. Therefore, when using the
computer close to an appliance that can produce negative ions, give
special attention to the following:
-
Avoid directly exposing your computer to the air from an appliance
that can produce negative ions.
-
Keep your computer and peripherals as far as possible from such an
appliance.

Chapter 6. Safety, Use, and Care Information
-
Wherever possible, ground your computer to facilitate safe
electrostatic discharge.
Note:
ꢁ
Not all such appliances cause a significant electrostatic charge.
When you handle options or CRUs, or perform any work inside the
computer, take the following precautions to avoid static-electricity
damage:
-
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build
up around you.
-
Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory
modules, and other circuit boards by the edges. Never touch exposed
circuitry.
-
-
Prevent others from touching components.
When you install a static-sensitive option or CRU, touch the static-
protective package containing the part to a metal expansion-slot cover
or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two
seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body.
Whenever possible, remove the static-sensitive part from the static-
protective packaging and install the part without setting it down.
When this is not possible, place the static-protective packaging on a
smooth, level surface and place the part on it.
-
-
Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.

Take Care in Setting Passwords
ƒ Remember your passwords. If you forget a supervisor or hard disk
password, Lenovo authorized service providers will not reset it, and you
might have to replace your system board or hard disk drive.
Other Important Tips
ƒ Your computer modem might use only an analog telephone network, or
public-switched telephone network (PSTN). Do not connect the modem
to a PBX (private branch exchange) or any other digital telephone
extension line because this could damage your modem. Analog phone
lines are often used in homes, while digital phone lines are often used in
hotels or office buildings. If you are not sure which kind of phone line
you are using, contact your telephone company.
ƒ Your computer might have both an Ethernet connector and a modem
connector. If so, be sure to connect your communication cable to the
correct one, so your connector is not damaged.
ƒ
Register your Lenovo products with Lenovo (refer to the Web page:
http://consumersupport.lenovo.com). This can help authorities return your
computer to you if it is lost or stolen. Registering your computer also enables
Lenovo to notify you about possible technical information and upgrades.
ƒ Only an authorized Lenovo repair technician should disassemble and
repair your computer.
ƒ Do not modify or tape the latches to keep the display open or closed.
ƒ Take care not to turn your computer over while the AC adapter is
plugged in. This could break the adapter plug.

Device drivers are programs that contain instructions for the operating
system about how to operate or “drive” a certain piece of hardware. Each
hardware component on your computer has its own specific driver. If you
add a new component, the operating system needs to be instructed on
how to operate that piece of hardware. After you install the driver, the
operating system can recognize the hardware component and understand
how to use it.
Note:
ꢁ
Due to the fact that drivers are programs, like any other file on your
computer, they are susceptible to corruption and might not perform
properly if corruption occurs.

Provider will arrange for service under the type of warranty service
designated for the product under the section titled “Warranty
Information.”
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product,
your Service Provider will replace it with one that is at least functionally
equivalent.
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or
replace your product, your sole remedy is to return the product to your
place of purchase or to Lenovo and your purchase price will be refunded.

Exchange of a Product or Part
When the warranty service involves the exchange of a product or part, the
item your Service Provider replaces becomes Lenovo’s property and the
replacement becomes yours. All removed items must be genuine and
unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working
order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The
replacement assumes the warranty status of the replaced item.
Before your Service Provider exchanges a product or part, you agree to:
1. remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not
under warranty service;
2. ensure that the product is free of any legal obligations or restrictions
that prevent its exchange;
3. obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider
service a product that you do not own.

Appendix B. Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs)
Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) are computer parts that can be
upgraded or replaced by the customer. There are two types of CRUs:
internal and external. External CRUs are easy to install, whereas internal
CRUs require some technical skills and in some cases might require tools
such as a screwdriver. However, both internal and external CRUs are safe
for removal by the customer.
Customers are responsible for replacing all external CRUs. Internal CRUs
can be removed and installed by customers or by a Lenovo service
technician during the warranty period.
Your computer contains the following types of external CRUs:
ƒ
External CRUs (pluggable): These CRUs unplug from the computer.
Examples of these types of CRUs include the AC adapter and power cord.
ƒ
External CRUs with latches: These CRUs include a latch to help you
remove and replace the part. Examples of these types of CRUs include
the notebook main battery, an optical drive, a hard-disk drive, and an
extended battery.
Your computer contains the following types of internal CRUs:
ƒ
Internal CRUs (located behind an access panel): These CRUs are
isolated parts within the computer that are concealed by an access panel
that is typically secured by either one or two screws. Once the access
panel is removed, only the specific CRU is visible. Examples of these
types of CRUs include memory modules and hard disk drives.
ƒ
Internal CRUs (located within the product): These CRUs are accessible
only by opening the computer’s outer case. Examples of these CRUs
include PCI Express Mini Cards and the integrated keyboard.

The following notice applies to all countries and regions:
Danger:
ꢁ
ƒ Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the equipment,
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
ƒ Lightning
For added protection for this equipment during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the video product due to
lightning and power line surges.
ƒ Power lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care
should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits,
as contact with them may be fatal.

EU WEEE Statements ----------------------------------------------------------------
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) mark applies only
to countries within the European Union (EU) and Norway. Appliances are
labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning
waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The Directive
determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances
as applicable throughout the European Union. This label is applied to
various products to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but
rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive.
Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE marking
per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive must not dispose of end of life EEE as
unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to
them for the return, recycle, recovery of WEEE and minimize any potential
effects of EEE on the environment and human health due to the presence of
hazardous substances. For additional WEEE information go to:

Notice for Users in the U.S.A. -----------------------------------------------
California Perchlorate Information:
Products containing CR (manganese dioxide) lithium coin cell batteries
may contain perchlorate.
Perchlorate Material — special handling may apply.

Notice on Deleting Data from Your Hard Disk -------------
As computers spread into every corner of life, they process more and more
information. The data on your computer, some of it sensitive, is stored on a
storage device called the hard disk. Before you dispose of, sell, or hand
over your computer, you need to delete that data.
Handing your computer over to someone else without deleting the loaded
software, such as operating systems and application software, may even
violate License Agreements. You are advised to check the terms and
conditions of those Agreements.
Deleting the data from the hard disk is not easy.
There are methods that seem to delete the data:
ƒ Move the data to the recycle bin, and then choose the Empty recycle bin
command.
ƒ Use the Delete command.
ƒ Format your hard disk, using the software for initializing it.

Appendix D. Notices
ƒ Using the preinstalled recovery program, bring the hard disk back to
factory-ship state.
These operations, however, only change the file allocation of the data; they
do not delete the data itself. In other words, the data retrieval processing is
disabled under an operating system such as Windows. The data is still
there, even though it seems to be lost. Thus, it is sometimes possible to read
the data by use of special software for data recovery. There is a risk that
people of bad faith may read and misuse the critical data on hard disks for
unexpected purposes.
To prevent the leakage of data, it becomes very important that you take
responsibility for deleting all the data from the hard disk when you dispose
of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can destroy the data physically
by smashing the hard disk with a hammer, or magnetically by means of
strong magnetic power, thus making the data unreadable. But we
recommend that you make use of the software (payware) or service (pay
service) specifically developed for the purpose.
