Explanation of hard disk capacityDear user,While using your computer, you may find 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 capacityHard 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 GU150 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 2 Monday, July 13, 2009 10:36 AM
In addition, 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 purposesLenovo computers may 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 apparent, 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.U150 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 3 Monday, July 13, 2009 10:36 AM

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.• Do not eat or smoke over your keyboard. Particles that fall into your keyboard can cause damage.• Store packing materials safely out of the reach of children to prevent the risk of suffocation from plastic bags.• Keep your computer away from magnets, activated cellular phones, electrical appliances, or speakers (within 13 cm or 5 in).• Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5°C/41°F or above 35°C/95°F).• 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 U150 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 62 Monday, July 13, 2009 10:36 AM

Appendix E. Notices993Use of mobile devices on board aircraft is explicitly prohibited by many airlines companies, especially during take-off and landing. The built-in Mobile Broadband module on your computer is a low-power radio transceiver. When it is turned on, it intermittently receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy which could cause interference with the operation of the airplane communication or navigation system. Refer to rules or regulations of your airline company for Mobile Broadband use. Never enable Mobile Broadband feature on your computer unless you are explicitly permitted to do so. 4Follow restrictions when using your computer in hospitals. Some equipments in hospitals are sophisticated and are susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Do not enable Mobile Broadband feature near medical equipment without requesting permission.5The Mobile Broadband communication may affect the operation of implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically implanted equipment. Patients with cardiac pacemakers should be well aware that use of Mobile Broadband feature on this computer may cause the implanted device to malfunction. If patients have any doubt that there is interference taking place, immediately disable the wireless radio on the computer and contact the doctor for more information. 6The Mobile Broadband module embedded in your computer does not support voice calls, hence their use for essential communications is not possible. Therefore you should never rely upon the device for essential communications.U150 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 99 Monday, July 13, 2009 10:36 AM

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:• Move the data to the recycle bin, and then choose the Empty recycle bin command.• Use the Delete command.U150 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 111 Monday, July 13, 2009 10:36 AM

Notices• Format your hard disk, using the software for initializing it.• 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.U150 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 112 Monday, July 13, 2009 10:36 AM
