Dear customer

We are pleased that you have chosen a system from Fujitsu Siemens Computers. We are sure that you will not regret this decision.

The analysis of information and feedback provided by our customers led us to produce this manual and to keep it constantly updated. Our experience shows that general publications about PCs designed for users are not always helpful in every case. These documents cannot deal in concrete terms with the specifics of the PC purchased. As we know the strengths of our computers and any hidden vagaries of the system that might crop up, we are in the best position to inform our customers of these problems.

This document was produced with the support of our valued customers and the engineers in our company. We hope that the assistance it provides will make it easier for you to get to know the ‘secrets’ of the world of PCs.

The development process for hardware and software in computer technology is an ongoing one, and we aim to keep this guide constantly updated. However, we cannot provide any guarantee of completeness.

In terms of the explanation of installation instructions for system settings, there are normally several options. We ask for your understanding that we can only present one possible method in our explanation of system settings. The illustrations are intended solely to support understanding. They do not necessarily match the screens on your system exactly in every case. The data for devices, drivers and remarks in the illustrations are provided as examples.
