Q: What PC information should I have available if I need to call Customer Support?

A: RAID stands for a “Redundant Array of Independent Disks.” It is a system that can employ multiple hard drives to accelerate disk access. If you choose to add another hard drive to your PC, you may wish to configure it as part of a RAID system with your existing hard drive.

Q: How do I set up RAID in my system?
A: The store where you purchased your computer can help you enable RAID. You will need to purchase a hard drive and any necessary installation parts. The store technician can install the hardware for you and verify that your system is properly set up to benefit from RAID.

Q: What is the best way to add my peripherals?
A: Peripherals such as cameras, scanners and printers should be added one at a time. Some peripherals should only be connected when the machine is powered off.
