before you can really start to use the notebook for work.
1. Before you start.
2. Disks and manuals.
3. Setting up your notebook taking into account security and the
environment.
Before you Start
• Serial Number
The serial number label can be found on the base of the notebook. The serial
number is of the form of either TO123456/78 or WO123456/01. It is
important to make a note of the serial number on the inside front cover of
this manual (or another suitable place) as you will use this number when
you contact RM about this product. It can also be found on the bottom
right side side of your RM Mobile One wallpaper.
• Part Number
The part number label can be found on the base of the notebook. The part
number is a combination of six letters or numbers, for example 0AB-123.
Together with the Serial Number, this number uniquely identifies every
machine.
• Customer Account Number
The despatch note has your customer account number printed on it. You will
need this number if you ever need to call RM. Make a note of the number
on the inside front cover of this manual (or another suitable place).
• Licence Agreements
Make sure all licence agreements are kept in a safe place as they may be
required if you wish to upgrade the software on your notebook. These may
also be required if you need to demonstrate you are using correctly
licensed software.
