You and your computer This chapter provides information about accessibility, comfort, and travelling with your computer. Accessibility and comfort Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal computer and to avoid discomfort. Arrange your workplace and the equipment you use to suit your individual needs and the kind of work that you perform. In addition, use healthy work habits to maximize your performance and comfort while using your computer. The following topics provide information about arranging your work area, setting up your computer equipment, and establishing healthy work habits. Lenovo is committed to providing the latest information and technology to our customers with disabilities. Refer to the accessibility information that outlines our efforts in this area. See Accessibility information on page 40. Ergonomic information Working in the virtual office might mean adapting to frequent changes in your environment. For example, adapting to the surrounding lighting sources, proper seating, and the placement of your computer hardware, can help you improve your performance and achieve greater comfort. The following example shows someone in a conventional setting. Even when not in such a setting, you can follow many of these tips. Develop good habits, and they will serve you well. General posture: Make minor modifications in your working posture to deter the onset of discomfort caused by long periods of working in the same position. Frequent, short breaks from your work also help to prevent minor discomfort associated with your working posture. Display: Position the display to maintain a comfortable viewing distance of 510-760 mm (20-30 inches). Avoid glare or reflections on the display from overhead lighting or outside sources of light. Keep the display screen clean and set the brightness to levels that enable you to see the screen clearly. Head position: Keep your head and neck in a comfortable and neutral (vertical, or upright) position. Chair: Use a chair that gives you good back support and seat height adjustment. Use chair adjustments to best suit your desired posture. Arm and hand position: Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed and neutral (horizontal) position. Type with a soft touch without pounding the keys. Copyright Lenovo 2015 39 Leg position: Keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest. What if you are traveling?
It might not be possible to observe the best ergonomic practices when you are using your computer while on the move or in a casual setting. Regardless of the setting, try to observe as many of the tips as possible. Sitting properly and using adequate lighting, for example, will help you maintain desirable levels of comfort and performance. Questions about vision?
The visual display screens of ThinkPad notebook computers are designed to meet the highest standards and to provide you with clear, crisp images and large, bright displays that are easy to see, yet easy on the eyes. Of course, any concentrated and sustained visual activity can be tiring. If you have questions on eye fatigue or visual discomfort, consult a vision-care specialist for advice. Comfort Observe the following guidelines to achieve greater comfort and improve performance. Active sitting and rest breaks: The longer you sit and work with your computer, the more important it is to observe your working posture. Follow Ergonomic information on page 39 and practice active sitting to avoid discomfort associated with your working postures. Making minor voluntary postural changes and taking short frequent work breaks are the key ingredients for healthy computing. Your computer is light and mobile; you can easily reposition your working surface to accommodate many posture modifications. Work area setup options: Familiarize yourself with all of your office furniture so that you know how to adjust your work surface, seat, and other work tools to accommodate your preferences for comfort.

Hard disk passwords The following two types of hard disk passwords can help protect the information stored on the hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive:
User hard disk password If a user hard disk password has been set, but no master hard disk password has been, the user must enter the user hard disk password to access files and applications on the hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive. Master hard disk password The master hard disk password also requires a user hard disk password. The master hard disk password is usually set and used by a system administrator. It enables the administrator to access any hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive in a system like a master key. The administrator sets the master password; then assigns a user password for each computer in the network. The user can then change the user password as desired, but the administrator still can get access by using the master password. When a master hard disk password is set, only the administrator can remove the user hard disk password. Setting a hard disk password Before you start, print these instructions. To set a hard disk password, do the following:
1. Turn off your computer. Wait for about five seconds, and then turn on the computer again. 2. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 to start the ThinkPad Setup program. 3.

For more information on how to use the fingerprint reader, refer to the help system of the Lenovo Fingerprint Manager program. Chapter 5. Security 53 Notice on deleting data from your hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive Some of the data stored on the hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive might be sensitive. Handing your computer over to someone else without deleting the loaded software, such as operating systems and application software, might even violate license agreements. Be sure to delete data stored on the hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive before you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can use the following methods to delete data from the hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive:
Move the data to the Recycle Bin, and then empty the Recycle Bin. Delete the data. Format your hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive, using the software for initializing it. Use the recovery program provided by Lenovo to bring the hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive back to the factory default settings. These operations, however, only change the file location 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 might read and misuse the critical data on hard disk drives, hybrid drives, or solid-state drives for unexpected purposes. To prevent leakage of data, it is important that you delete all the data from the hard disk drive or hybrid drive when you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can destroy the data physically by smashing the hard disk drive or hybrid drive with a hammer, or magnetically by means of strong magnetic power, thus making the data unreadable. But it is recommended that you use the software (payware) or service (pay service) developed for that purpose. The process might take several hours. For disposing of data on the solid-state drive, Lenovo provides the Drive Erase Utility for Resetting the Cryptographic Key and Erasing the Solid State Drive tool. For disposing of data on the hard disk drive, Lenovo provides the Secure Data Disposal tool. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support to download these tools. If a Disk Encryption hard disk drive, a Disk Encryption hybrid drive, or an Encryption solid-state drive or is supported and installed in your computer, you can logically dispose of all the data on the drive in a short time by erasing the cryptographic key. The data encrypted with the old key is not physically erased but remains on the drive; however, it cannot be decrypted without the old key. This feature is also available with the Drive Erase Utility for Resetting the Cryptographic Key and Erasing the Solid State Drive tool. Using firewalls If your system is preinstalled with a firewall program, it protects against computer Internet security threats, unauthorized access, intrusions, and Internet attacks. It also protects your privacy. For more information about how to use the firewall program, refer to the help information system that comes with the program. Protecting data against viruses Your computer is preinstalled with an antivirus program so you can detect and eliminate viruses. The antivirus program is designed to help you detect and eliminate viruses. Lenovo provides a full version of antivirus software on your computer with a free 30-day subscription. After 30 days, you must renew the license to continue receiving the antivirus software updates. 54 User Guide For more information about how to use your antivirus software, refer to the help information system of your antivirus software.

The UEFI BIOS initializes the hardware components, and loads the operating system and other programs. You can update the UEFI BIOS by starting your computer from a flash update optical disc or a flash update program running in the Windows environment. When you install a new program, a device driver, or hardware, you might be informed to update the UEFI BIOS. For instructions on how to update the UEFI BIOS, go to:
http://www.lenovo.com/ThinkPadDrivers 74 User Guide Chapter 7. Preventing problems An important part of owning a ThinkPad notebook computer is maintenance. With proper care, you can avoid common problems. The chapter provides information that can help you keep your computer running smoothly. General tips for preventing problems on page 75 Making sure device drivers are current on page 76 Taking care of your computer on page 77 General tips for preventing problems Check the capacity of your hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive from time to time. If the hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive gets too full, the Windows operating system will slow down and might produce errors. To check the capacity of the hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive, do the following:
For Windows 7: Click Start Computer. For Windows 10: Open the File Explorer and click This PC. Empty your recycle bin on a regular basis. Use disk defragment tool regularly on your hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive to improve data seek and read times. To free up disk space, uninstall unused application programs. Note: You also might want to look for program duplication or overlapping versions. Clean out your Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders from your e-mail client program. Back up your data at least once a week. If critical data is present, it is a good idea to perform a daily backup operation. Lenovo has many backup options available for your computer. Rewritable external optical drives are available for most machines and are easily installed. Schedule system restore operations to take a system snapshot periodically. For more information about system restore, see Chapter 9 Recovery overview on page 101. Update device drivers and the UEFI BIOS when needed. Profile your machine at http://www.lenovo.com/support to keep up to date with current drivers and revisions. Keep up to date for device drivers on other non-Lenovo hardware. You might want to read the device driver information release notes prior to updating for compatibility or known issues. Keep a log book. Entries might include major hardware or software changes, driver updates, minor issues you have experienced, and how you resolved the minor issues. If you ever need to run a recovery on your computer to return the preinstalled contents onto the machine, the following tips might help along the way:
Remove all external devices such as the printer, keyboard, and so on. Make sure that your battery is charged and your computer has the ac power connected. Access ThinkPad Setup and load the default settings. Restart the computer and start the recovery operation. If your computer uses discs as the recovery media, do not remove the disc from the drive until prompted to do so. Copyright Lenovo 2015 75 For suspected hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive issues, refer to Diagnosing problems on page 81 and run a diagnostic test for the drive before you call the Customer Support Center. If your computer does not start up, download the files to create a bootable self-test medium from http://www.lenovo.com/hddtest. Run the test and record any messages or error codes. If the test returns any failing error codes or messages, call the Customer Support Center with the codes or messages and the computer in front of you. A technician will assist you further. If required, you can find the contact information about the Customer Support Center for your country or region at http://www.lenovo.com/support/phone. When calling the Customer Support Center, make sure that you have your machine model type, serial number, and the computer in front of you. Also, if the computer is producing error codes, it is helpful to have the error screen on or the messages written down. Making sure device drivers are current 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: Because drivers are programs, like any other file on your computer, they are susceptible to corruption and might not perform correctly if corruption occurs. It is not always necessary to download the latest drivers. However, you should download the latest driver for a component if you notice poor performance from that component or if you added a new component. This might eliminate the driver as the potential cause of a problem. Getting the latest drivers from the Web site You can download and install updated device drivers from the Lenovo Web site by doing the following:
1. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/ThinkPadDrivers. 2. Select the entry for your computer and then follow the instructions on the screen to download and install necessary software. Getting the latest drivers using System Update The System Update program helps you keep the software on your computer up-to-date. Update packages are stored on Lenovo servers and can be downloaded from the Lenovo Support Web site. Update packages can contain applications, device drivers, UEFI BIOS flashes, or software updates. When the System Update program connects to the Lenovo Support Web site, the System Update program automatically recognizes the machine type and model of your computer, the installed operating system, and the language of the operating system to determine what updates are available for your computer. The System Update program then displays a list of update packages and categorizes each update as critical, recommended, or optional to help you understand the importance. You have complete control of which updates to download and install. After you select the update packages you want, the System Update program automatically downloads and installs the updates without any further intervention from you. The System Update program is preinstalled on your computer and is ready to run. The only prerequisite is an active Internet connection. You can start the program manually, or you can use the schedule feature to enable the program to search for updates automatically at specified intervals. You also can predefine scheduled updates to search by severity (critical updates, critical and recommended updates, or all updates) so the list you choose from contains only those update types that are of interest to you. For more information about how to use the System Update program, refer to the help information system of the program. 76 User Guide Taking care of your computer Although your computer is designed to function reliably in normal work environments, you need to use common sense in handling it. By following the important tips in this topic, you will get the most use and enjoyment out of your computer. Be careful about where and how you work 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
(more than 13 cm or 5 inches). Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5C/41F or above 35C/95F). 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 might become electrostatically charged. Such a charge might 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. Wherever possible, ground your computer to facilitate safe electrostatic discharge. Note: Not all such appliances cause a significant electrostatic charge. Be gentle with your computer Avoid placing any objects (including paper) between the display and the keyboard or the palm rest. Your computer display is designed to be opened and used at an angle slightly greater than 90 degrees. Do not open the display beyond 135 degrees, as this might damage the computer hinge. Do not turn your computer over while the ac power adapter is plugged in. This could break the adapter plug. Carry your computer properly Before moving your computer, be sure to remove any media, turn off attached devices, and disconnect cords and cables. When picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not pick up or hold your computer by the display. Handle storage media and drives properly When installing the hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive, follow the instructions shipped with your hardware, and apply pressure only where needed on the device. After you replace the primary hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive, reattach the cover of the drive slot. When replacing the hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive reattach the cover of the drive slot. Store your external and removable hard disk drive, hybrid drive, or solid-state drive in the appropriate containers or packaging when they are not being used. Chapter 7.

However, the level of energy emitted is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones. Due to the fact that integrated wireless cards operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, Lenovo believes they are safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature. In some situation or environment, the use of integrated wireless cards might be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations and areas might for example include:
Using the integrated wireless cards on board of airplanes, in hospitals or near petrol stations, blasting areas (with electro-explosive devices), medical implants or body-worn electronic medical devices, such as pace makers. In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful. If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless devices in a specific organization (such as airport or hospital), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use integrated wireless cards prior to turning on the computer.

Note: Do not remove or replace a preinstalled wireless module by yourself. For module replacement, you must contact Lenovo Service first. Lenovo is not responsible for any damage caused by unauthorized replacement. Labels for the Windows operating systems Windows 7 Certificate of Authenticity: Computer models preinstalled with the Windows 7 operating system have a Certificate of Authenticity label affixed to the computer cover or inside the battery compartment. The Certificate of Authenticity is your indication that the computer is licensed for a Windows 7 product and is preinstalled with a Windows 7 genuine version. In some cases, an earlier Windows version might be preinstalled under the terms of the Windows 7 Professional license downgrade rights. Printed on the Certificate of Authenticity is the Windows 7 version for which the computer is licensed and the Product ID. The Product ID is important in case you need to reinstall the Windows 7 operating system from a source other than a Lenovo product recovery disc set. Windows 10 Genuine Microsoft label: Depending on your geographic location, the date when your computer was manufactured, and the version of Windows 10 that is preinstalled, your computer might have a Genuine Microsoft label affixed to its cover. See http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/Hardware.aspx for illustrations of the various types of Genuine Microsoft labels. In the Peoples Republic of China, the Genuine Microsoft label is required on all computer models preinstalled with any version of Windows 10. In other countries and regions, the Genuine Microsoft label is required only on computer models licensed for Windows 10 Pro. The absence of a Genuine Microsoft label does not indicate that the preinstalled Windows version is not genuine. For details on how to tell whether your preinstalled Windows product is genuine, refer to the information provided by Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/default.aspx. Unlike Windows 7 products, there are no external, visual indicators of the Product ID or Windows version for which the computer is licensed.

An introduction to Lenovo programs This topic provides a brief introduction to Lenovo programs. Depending on your computer model, some of the programs might not be available. Access Connections
(Windows 7) Active Protection System
(Windows 7 and Windows 10) The Access Connections program is a connectivity assistant program for creating and managing location profiles. Each location profile stores all the network and Internet configuration settings needed for connecting to a network infrastructure from a specific location such as a home or an office. By switching between location profiles as you move your computer from place to place, you can quickly and easily connect to a network with no need to manually reconfigure your settings and restart the computer each time. The Active Protection System program protects your internal storage drive (such as hard disk drive) when the shock sensor inside your computer detects a condition that could damage the drive, such as system tilt, excessive vibration, or shock. The internal storage drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not operating. This is because when the internal storage drive is not operating, the system stops it from spinning, and might also move the read and write heads of the drive to areas that do not contain data. As soon as the shock sensor senses that the environment is stable again
(minimal change in system tilt, vibration, or shock), it turns on the internal storage drive. Chapter 1. Product overview 13 Auto Scroll Utility

If you then install the hard disk drive in a computer that cannot recognize a hard disk password that contains more than seven characters, you cannot access the drive. Record your password and store it in a safe place. If you forget the user hard disk password, or both user and master hard disk passwords, Lenovo cannot reset your passwords or recover data from the hard disk drive. You must take your computer to a Lenovo reseller or a marketing representative to have the hard disk drive replaced. Proof of purchase is required, and a fee will be charged for parts and service. Notes: The eDrive storage drives or Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Opal-compliant storage drives provide self-encryption capabilities to secure your data. If a TCG Opal-compliant storage drive and a TCG Opal management software program are installed, and the TCG Opal management software program is activated, the hard disk password is not available. If an eDrive storage drive is installed in your computer, and your computer is preinstalled with the Windows 10 operating system, the hard disk password is not available. Chapter 5. Security 49 Hard disk security To protect passwords from unauthorized security attacks, refer to the following tips to maximize security:
Set a power-on password as well as a hard disk password for your internal storage drive. Refer to the procedures in Power-on password on page 45 and Hard disk passwords on page 48. For security, a longer password is recommended. Use the security chip to provide reliable security for the UEFI BIOS. Refer to Setting the security chip on page 50. If a Disk Encryption storage drive is installed in your computer, be sure to protect the contents of your computer memory from unauthorized accesses by use of drive encryption software, such as Microsoft Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption. See Using Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption on page 50. Before you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer, delete the data stored on it. For more information, refer to Notice on deleting data from your internal storage drive on page 51. The hard disk drive built into your computer can be protected by UEFI BIOS. Using Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption To help protect your computer against unauthorized access, use the drive encryption software, such as Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption. Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption is an integral security feature of some editions of the Windows operating system. It can help you protect the operating system and data stored on your computer, even if your computer is lost or stolen. BitLocker works by encrypting all user and system files, including the swap and hibernation files. BitLocker uses a Trusted Platform Module to provide enhanced protection for your data and to ensure early boot component integrity. A compatible TPM is defined as a V1.2 TPM. To check the BitLocker status, go to Control Panel, and click System and Security BitLocker Drive Encryption. For more information about Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption, see the help information system of the Windows operating system, or search for Microsoft Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption Step-by-Step Guide on the Microsoft Web site. Disk Encryption hard disk drive and Encryption solid-state drive Some models contain the Disk Encryption hard disk drive or Encryption solid-state drive. This feature helps to protect your computer against security attacks on media, NAND flash, or device controllers by use of a hardware encryption chip. For the efficient use of the encryption feature, set a hard disk password for the internal storage device. Setting the security chip Strict security requirements are imposed on network client computers that transfer confidential information electronically. Depending on the options you ordered, your computer might have an embedded security chip, a cryptographic microprocessor. With the security chip, you can do the following:
Protect your data and system Strengthen access controls Secure communications 50 ThinkPad E560p and S5 User Guide Before you start, print these instructions. To set an item on the Security Chip submenu, do the following:
1. Turn off your computer. Wait for about five seconds, and then turn on your computer again. 2. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 to start the ThinkPad Setup program. 3. Select Security Security Chip by using the directional keys. 4. Press Enter. The Security Chip submenu opens. 5. Move to an item you want to set by using the directional keys. When the item is highlighted, press Enter. 6. Set other items that you want to set. 7. Press F10. A Setup Confirmation window is displayed. Select Yes to save the configuration changes and exit. Notes:
Ensure that the supervisor password has been set in ThinkPad Setup. Otherwise anyone can change the settings for the security chip. If the security chip is inactive or disabled, the Clear Security Chip option will not be displayed. When you clear the security chip, turn off your computer and then turn it on again after you set the security chip to Active. Otherwise, the Clear Security Chip option is not displayed. Notice on deleting data from your internal storage drive Some of the data stored on the internal storage drive might be sensitive. Handing your computer over to someone else without deleting the loaded software, such as operating systems and application software, might even violate license agreements. Be sure to delete data stored on the storage drive before you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can use the following methods to delete data from the storage drive:
Move the data to the Recycle Bin, and then empty the Recycle Bin. Delete the data. Format your storage drive, using the software for initializing it. Use the recovery program provided by Lenovo to bring the storage drive back to the factory default settings. These operations, however, only change the file location 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 might read and misuse the critical data on the storage drive for unexpected purposes. To prevent leakage of data, it is important that you delete all the data from the storage drive when you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can destroy the data physically by smashing the storage drive with a hammer, or magnetically by means of strong magnetic power, thus making the data unreadable. But it is recommended that you use the software (payware) or service (pay service) developed for that purpose. The process might take several hours. For disposing of data on the solid-state drive, Lenovo provides the Drive Erase Utility for Resetting the Cryptographic Key and Erasing the Solid State Drive tool. For disposing of data on the hard disk drive, Lenovo provides the Secure Data Disposal tool. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support to download these tools. Chapter 5. Security 51 If an Encryption solid-state drive or a Disk Encryption hard disk drive or a Disk Encryption hybrid drive is supported and installed in your computer, you can logically dispose of all the data on the drive in a short time by erasing the cryptographic key. The data encrypted with the old key is not physically erased but remains on the drive; however, it cannot be decrypted without the old key. This feature is also available with the Drive Erase Utility for Resetting the Cryptographic Key and Erasing the Solid State Drive tool. Using firewalls If your system is preinstalled with a firewall program, it protects against computer Internet security threats, unauthorized access, intrusions, and Internet attacks. It also protects your privacy. For more information about how to use the firewall program, refer to the help information system that comes with the program. Protecting data against viruses Your computer is preinstalled with an antivirus program so you can detect and eliminate viruses. The antivirus program is designed to help you detect and eliminate viruses. Lenovo provides a full version of antivirus software on your computer with a free 30-day subscription. After 30 days, you must renew the license to continue receiving the antivirus software updates. For more information about how to use your antivirus software, refer to the help information system of your antivirus software. 52 ThinkPad E560p and S5 User Guide Chapter 6.

The UEFI BIOS initializes the hardware components, and loads the operating system and other programs. You can update the UEFI BIOS by starting your computer from a flash update optical disc or a flash update program running in the Windows environment. When you install a new program, a device driver, or hardware, you might be informed to update the UEFI BIOS. For instructions on how to update the UEFI BIOS, go to:
http://www.lenovo.com/ThinkPadDrivers Using system management This topic is primarily intended for the network administrators. Your computer is designed for manageability, so that you can redirect more resources to better meet your business objectives. This manageability, known as Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), enables you to remotely operate client computers in the same way as you operate your own computer, such as turning on a client computer, formatting a hard disk drive, and installing a program. Once the computer is configured and operational, you can manage it by using the software and the manageability features that are already integrated into the client computer and the network. 68 ThinkPad E560p and S5 User Guide Desktop Management Interface The UEFI BIOS of your computer supports an interface called System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) Reference Specification, version 2.7.1. SMBIOS provides information about the hardware components of your computer. It is the responsibility of the UEFI BIOS to provide information about itself and the devices on the system board. This specification documents the standards for getting access to this BIOS information. Preboot eXecution Environment The Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) technology makes the computer more manageable by enabling the computer to start from a server. Your computer supports the personal computer functions that PXE requires. Note: The Remote Initial Program Load (RIPL or RPL) function cannot be used with your computer. Asset ID EEPROM The Asset ID EEPROM contains information about the computer configuration and the serial numbers of the key components. It also includes a number of blank fields where you can record information about the end users in your network. Chapter 6. Advanced configuration 69 70 ThinkPad E560p and S5 User Guide Chapter 7. Preventing problems This chapter contains the following topics:
General tips for preventing problems on page 71 Making sure device drivers are up-to-date on page 72 Taking care of your computer on page 73 General tips for preventing problems Check the capacity of your hard disk drive from time to time. If the hard disk drive gets too full, the Windows operating system will slow down and might produce errors. To check the hard disk drive capacity, do the following:
Windows 7: Open the Start menu and click Computer. Windows 10: Open the File Explorer and click This PC. Empty your recycle bin on a regular basis. Use disk defragment tool regularly on your hard disk drive to improve data seek and read times. To free up disk space, uninstall unused application programs. Note: You also might want to look for program duplication or overlapping versions. Clean out your Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders from your e-mail client program. Back up your data at least once a week. If critical data is present, it is a good idea to perform a daily backup operation. Lenovo has many backup options available for your computer. Rewritable optical drives are available for most machines and are easily installed. Schedule system restore operations to take a system snapshot periodically. For more information about system restore, see Chapter 9 Recovery overview on page 95. Update device drivers and the UEFI BIOS when needed. Profile your machine at http://www.lenovo.com/support to keep up to date with current drivers and revisions. Keep up to date for device drivers on other non-Lenovo hardware. You might want to read the device driver information release notes prior to updating for compatibility or known issues. Keep a log book. Entries might include major hardware or software changes, driver updates, minor issues you have experienced, and how you resolved the minor issues. If you ever need to run a recovery on your computer to return the preinstalled contents onto the machine, the following tips might help along the way:
Remove all external devices such as the printer, keyboard, and so on. Make sure that your battery is charged and your computer has the ac power connected. Access ThinkPad Setup and load the default settings. Restart the computer and start the recovery operation. If your computer uses discs as the recovery media, do not remove the disc from the drive until prompted to do so. For suspected hard disk drive issues, refer to Diagnosing problems on page 77 and run a diagnostic test for the drive before you call the Customer Support Center. If your computer does not start up, download the files to create a bootable self-test medium from http://www.lenovo.com/hddtest. Run the test and record any messages or error codes. If the test returns any failing error codes or messages, Copyright Lenovo 2016 71 call the Customer Support Center with the codes or messages and the computer in front of you. A technician will assist you further. If required, you can find the contact information about the Customer Support Center for your country or region at http://www.lenovo.com/support/phone. When calling the Customer Support Center, make sure that you have your machine model type, serial number, and the computer in front of you. Also, if the computer is producing error codes, it is helpful to have the error screen on or the messages written down. Making sure device drivers are up-to-date 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: Because drivers are programs, like any other file on your computer, they are susceptible to corruption and might not perform correctly if corruption occurs. It is not always necessary to download the latest drivers. However, you should download the latest driver for a component if you notice poor performance from that component or if you added a new component. This might eliminate the driver as the potential cause of a problem. Getting the latest drivers from the Web site You can download and install updated device drivers from the Lenovo Web site by doing the following:
1. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/ThinkPadDrivers. 2. Select the entry for your computer and then follow the instructions on the screen to download and install necessary software. Getting the latest drivers using System Update The System Update program helps you keep the software on your computer up-to-date. Update packages are stored on Lenovo servers and can be downloaded from the Lenovo Support Web site. Update packages can contain applications, device drivers, UEFI BIOS flashes, or software updates. When the System Update program connects to the Lenovo Support Web site, the System Update program automatically recognizes the machine type and model of your computer, the installed operating system, and the language of the operating system to determine what updates are available for your computer. The System Update program then displays a list of update packages and categorizes each update as critical, recommended, or optional to help you understand the importance. You have complete control of which updates to download and install. After you select the update packages you want, the System Update program automatically downloads and installs the updates without any further intervention from you. The System Update program is preinstalled on your computer and is ready to run. The only prerequisite is an active Internet connection. You can start the program manually, or you can use the schedule feature to enable the program to search for updates automatically at specified intervals. You also can predefine scheduled updates to search by severity (critical updates, critical and recommended updates, or all updates) so the list you choose from contains only those update types that are of interest to you. For more information about how to use the System Update program, refer to the help information system of the program. 72 ThinkPad E560p and S5 User Guide Taking care of your computer Although your computer is designed to function reliably in normal work environments, you need to use common sense in handling it. By following the important tips in this topic, you will get the most use and enjoyment out of your computer. Be careful about where and how you work 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
(more than 13 cm or 5 inches). Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5C/41F or above 35C/95F). 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 might become electrostatically charged. Such a charge might 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. Wherever possible, ground your computer to facilitate safe electrostatic discharge. Note: Not all such appliances cause a significant electrostatic charge. Be gentle with your computer Avoid placing any objects (including paper) between the display and the keyboard or the palm rest. Your computer display is designed to be opened and used at an angle slightly greater than 90 degrees. Do not open the display beyond 135 degrees, as this might damage the computer hinge. Do not turn your computer over while the ac power adapter is plugged in. This could break the adapter plug. Carry your computer properly Before moving your computer, be sure to remove any media, turn off attached devices, and disconnect cords and cables. When picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not pick up or hold your computer by the display. Handle storage media and drives properly When installing the storage drive, follow the instructions shipped with your hardware, and apply pressure only where needed on the device. After you replace the primary storage drive, reattach the cover of the drive slot. When replacing the storage drive, reattach the cover of the drive slot. Store your external and removable storage drive in the appropriate containers or packaging when they are not being used. Chapter 7. Preventing problems 73 Before you install any of the following devices, touch a metal table or a grounded metal object. This action reduces any static electricity from your body. The static electricity could damage the device. While transferring data to or from a flash media card, such as an SD card, do not put your computer in sleep or hibernation mode before the data transfer is complete. To do so might cause damage to your data. Taking care when setting passwords Remember your passwords. If you forget a supervisor or hard disk password, Lenovo will not reset it, and you might have to replace your system board or storage drive.
