Frequently Asked Questions
What is the risk of losing user data if primary power is disconnected?
All user data stored on the memory (DDR3) will be destroyed when primary power is lost.
What type and size range are supported for system memory?
The system uses DDR3 SODIMM modules, with a required capacity between 2 GB and 16 GB.
How should I format or service media card storage (HDD/CD)?
Hard drives require 'low level format' and replaceable flash drives can use the dedicated card slot.
