Safety Statements
Transportation Precautions
T o prepare the Notebook PC for transport, you should turn it OFF and disconnect all external peripherals to prevent damage to the connectors. The hard disk drive’s head retracts when the power is
turned OFF to prevent scratching of the hard disk surface during transport. Therefore, you should not
transport the Notebook PC while the power is still ON. Close the display panel and check that it is
latched securely in the closed position to protect the keyboard and display panel.
Remove Floppy Disks
Whether you have an internal or external 1.44MB floppy disk drive, make sure it does not contain a
diskette when transporting the floppy disk drive. When a diskette is inserted into the floppy disk drive,
the eject button protrudes out. If you attempt to transport the floppy disk drive with a diskette in the
drive, you risk damaging the eject button and also risk scratching the surface of the diskette when the
floppy disk drive is jolted.
Cover Your Notebook PC
Use a carrying case such as the one supplied with your Notebook PC to protect it from dirt, water,
shock, and scratches.
NOTE: The surface glaze is easily dulled if not properly cared for. Be careful not to
rub or scrap the Notebook PC surfaces when transporting your Notebook PC.
Charge Your Batteries
If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery pack and any optional battery
packs before going on long trips. Remember that the power adapter charges the battery pack as long as
it is plugged into the computer and an AC power source. Be aware that it takes much longer to charge
the battery pack when the Notebook PC is in use.
Airplane Precautions
Contact your airline if you want to use the Notebook PC on the airplane. Most airlines will have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most airlines will allow electronic use only between and not during
takeoffs and landings.
CAUTION! There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines
(used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walking through security checks), and magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on people
or individual items). Y ou can send your Notebook PC and diskettes through airport Xray machines. However, it is recommended that you do not send your Notebook PC
or diskettes through airport magnetic detectors or expose them to magnetic wands.

DC Power Input Jack
The supplied power adapter converts AC power to DC power for use with this jack. Power supplied
through this jack supplies power to the Notebook PC and charges the internal battery pack. To prevent
damage to the Notebook PC and battery pack, always use the supplied power adapter.
Fast Infrared Port (IrDA)
The fast infrared (IrDA) communication port allows convenient wireless data communication with infrared-equipped devices or computers up to 4 Mbits/sec. This allows easy wireless synchronization with
PDAs or mobile phones and even wireless printing to printers. If your office supports IrDA networking,
you can have wireless connection to a network anywhere provided there is a direct line of sight to an
IrDA node. Small offices can use IrDA technology to share a printer between several closely placed
Notebook PCs and even send files to each other without a network.
USB Ports (1.1 & 2.0)
Universal Serial Bus (USB) supports many USB compatible devices such as keyboards, pointing devices, video cameras, modems, hard disk drives, printers, monitors, and scanners connected in a series
up to 12Mbits/sec (USB 1.1) and 480Mbits/sec (USB 2.0). USB allows many devices to run simultaneously on a single computer, with peripherals such as USB keyboards and some newer monitors
acting as additional plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that peripherals can
be connected or disconnected while the Notebook PC is turned ON.
IEEE1394 Ports
Also known as iLINK (Sony) or FireWire (Apple). IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but
has simple connections and hot-plugging capabilities like USB. The interface IEEE1394 has a bandwidth of 100-400 Mbits/sec and can handle up to 63 units on the same bus. It is very likely that IEEE1394,
together with USB, will replace Parallel, IDE, SCSI, and EIDE ports. IEEE1394 is also used in highend digital equipment and should be marked “DV” for Digital Video port.
PC Card (PCMCIA) Socket and Eject
One PCMCIA 2.1 compliant socket for one type I/II PC card is available. The socket supports 32-bit
CardBus. This allows accommodation of all Notebook PC expansion options such as memory cards,
ISDN, SCSI, Smart Cards, and wireless network adapters.

pack begins to charge as soon as the Notebook PC is connected to external power. Fully charge the
battery pack before using it for the first time. A new battery pack must completely charge before the
Notebook PC is disconnected from external power. When the battery power is low, the battery power
LED will blink. It takes a few hours to fully charge the battery when the Notebook PC is turned OFF
and may take twice the time when the Notebook PC is turned ON. The battery charge light turns OFF
when the battery pack is charged.
Battery Care
The Notebook PC’s battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit on the number times it can
be recharged. Fully draining and charging the battery once a day every day will last over a year but how
long beyond that will depend on your environment temperature, humidity , and how your Notebook PC
is used. It is ideal that the battery be used in a temperature range between 10˚C and 29˚C (50˚F and
85˚F). You must also take into account that the Notebook PC’s internal temperature is higher than the
outside temperature. Any temperatures above or below this range will shorten the life of the battery.
But in any case, the battery pack’s usage time will eventually decrease and a new battery pack must be
purchased from an authorized dealer for this Notebook PC. Because batteries also have a shelf life, it is
not recommended to buy extras for storing.

Power Connection
Y our Notebook PC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter . That means that you may connect the power
cord to any 110V-120V as well as 220V -240V outlets without setting switches or using power converters. Different countries may require that an adapter be used to connect the provided US-standard AC
power cord to a different standard. Most hotels will provide universal outlets to support different power
cords as well as voltages. It is always best to ask an experienced traveler about AC outlet voltages when
bringing power adapters to another country.
TIP: Y ou can buy travel kits for the Notebook PC that includes power and modem adapters for almost every country .
With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC converter , connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet
(preferably with surge-protection) and then connect the DC plug to the Notebook PC. Connecting the
AC-DC adapter to the AC outlet first allows you to test the AC outlet’s power and the AC-DC converter
itself for compatibility problems before connecting the DC power to the Notebook PC. The green
power LED on the adapter lights up if the power is within accepted ranges.
WARNING! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the Notebook
PC or use the Notebook PC’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If there is
smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servicing. Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter . You may damage both your
battery pack(s) and the Notebook PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.
NOTE: This Notebook PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending on
territory . If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or use a
properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the Notebook PC.

Powering ON The Notebook PC
The Notebook PC’s power -ON message appears on the screen followed by a short beep when you turn it
ON. If necessary , you may adjust the brightness by using the hot keys. If you need to run the BIOS Setup
to set or modify the system configuration, press [F2] upon bootup to enter the BIOS Setup. If you press
[Tab] during the splash screen, standard boot information such as the BIOS version can be seen. Press
[ESC] and you will be presented with a boot menu with selections to boot from your available drives.
WARNING! Never turn OFF or reset your Notebook PC while the hard disk or floppy
disk is in use and the activity LED is flashing; doing so can result in loss or destruction of your data. To protect the hard disk drive, always wait at least 5 seconds after
turning OFF your Notebook PC before turning it back ON.
NOTE: Before bootup, the display panel flashes when the power is turned ON. This is
part of the Notebook PC’s test routine and is not a problem with the display.
The Power-On Self Test (POST)
When you turn ON the Notebook PC, it will first run through a series of software-controlled diagnostic
tests called the Power-On Self Test (POST). The software that controls the POST is installed as a
permanent part of the Notebook PC’s architecture. The POST includes a record of the Notebook PC’s
hardware configuration, which is used to make a diagnostic check of the system. This record is created
by using the BIOS Setup program. If the POST discovers a difference between the record and the
existing hardware, it will display a message on the screen prompting you to correct the conflict by
running BIOS Setup. In most cases the record should be correct when you receive the Notebook PC.
When the test is finished, you may get a message reporting “No operating system found” if the hard
disk was not preloaded with an operating system. This indicates that the hard disk is correctly detected
and ready for the installation of a new operating system.
3
The S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) checks the hard disk drive during POST
and gives a warning message if the hard disk drive requires servicing. If any critical hard disk drive
warning is given during bootup, backup your data immediately and run W indows disk checking program.
T o run W indow’s disk checking program: (1) right-click any hard disk drive icon in “My Computer”, (2)
choose Properties, (3) click the Tools tab, (4) click Check Now, (5) select a hard disk drive, (6) select
Thorough to also check for physical damages, and (7) click Start. Third party disk utilities such as Symantec’ s
Norton Disk Doctor can also perform the same functions but with greater ease and more features.
WARNING! If warnings are still given during bootup after running a software disk
checking utility, you should take your Notebook PC in for servicing. Continued use
may result in data loss.

Power Management - Stand By & Hibernate
Power management settings can be found in the Windows control panel.
The following shows the power options properties in W indows ME. You can
define Stand By or Power Off for closing the display panel, pressing the
power button, or activating sleep mode. Basically Stand by and Hibernate
saves power when your Notebook PC is not in use by turning OFF certain
components. When you resume your work, your last status (such as a document scrolled down half way or email typed half way will reappear as if you
never left. Power Off will close all applications and ask if you want to save
your work if any are not saved.
Stand By is the same as Suspend-to-RAM (STR). This function stores your
current data and status in RAM while many components are turned OFF.
Because RAM is volatile, it requires power to keep (refresh) the data.
Hibernate is the same as Suspend-to-Disk (STD) and stores your current
data and status on the hard disk drive. By doing this, RAM does not have to
be refreshed and power consumption is greatly reduced but not completely
eliminated because certain wake-up components like LAN and modem needs
to remain powered.
Hibernate saves you maximum power than Stand By. Your current session
can be all saved to disk and network connections can be restored in this
mode before shut down. Click Start, and select Hibernate in W indows 98 or
- Click Start, select Shut Down, then choose Hibernate in Window 2000.
Restarting or Rebooting
After making changes to your operating system, you may be prompted to restart the system. Some
installation processes will provide a dialog box to allow restart. To restart the system manually:
Click the Start button and select Shut Down | and choose Restart.
In case the operating system hangs (stops, freezes, crashes), try the following in this order:
1. Try a “warm boot” by pressing the [Ctrl][Alt][Del] keys simultaneously . (You may try a few times.)
2. If warm booting fails to work, you can press the shut down button located in a small hole on the
bottom of the Notebook PC with a pen, mechanical pencil, or paper clip. (Do not use a standard
pencil because the tip may break off in the hole.)
Powering OFF the Notebook PC
For operating systems equipped with ACPI (Windows ME/2000), the Notebook PC can be powered
OFF by using Start | Shut Down... | Shut down. For operating systems without proper power management (DOS, Windows NT), you must power OFF the Notebook PC by holding the power switch for 2
seconds (as opposed to 1 second to power ON) after closing applications and exiting operating systems.
This is necessary in order to prevent accidental power-OFFs.

slowly to prevent damage.
DVD-ROM Drive Information
Overview
The Notebook PC comes with an optional DVD-ROM drive or a CD-ROM drive. In order to view
DVD titles, you must install the provided MPEG2 video decoder software and your own DVD viewer
software. Optional DVD viewer software may be purchased with this Notebook PC. The DVD-ROM
drive allows the use of both CD and DVD discs.
Definitions
DVD, which stands for Digital Versatile Disc, is the next generation of optical disc storage technology.
The DVD specification supports discs with capacities from 4.7GB to 17GB and access rates up to
22.16MBytes/s. The Notebook PC’ s DVD-ROM drive is only single-sided; double-sided DVD (8.5GB
and higher) requires manually reversing the disc in order to access the reverse side.
DVD is essentially a bigger, faster CD that can hold video as well as audio and computer data. With
these capacities and access rates, DVD discs can provide you with dramatically-enhanced high-color,
full-motion videos, better graphics, sharper pictures, and Dolby
experience. DVD aims to encompass home entertainment, computers, and business information with a
single digital format, eventually replacing audio CD, videotape, laserdisc, CD-ROM, and perhaps even
video game cartridges. DVD has widespread support from all major electronics companies, all major
computer hardware companies, and most major movie and music studios.

Software
T o meet customer requirements for a complete DVD solution, a software playback solution is provided.
The provided software has been optimized for playback of MPEG2 (Motion Picture Experts Group
specifications for data compression) encoded video clips as well as encrypted DVD movie titles. Decoding digital MPEG2 video is accomplished through software only, eliminating the need for expensive hardware. Although the software will function on Intel 233-333MHz based notebooks, playback
quality is reduced since loss of video frames (video images look as though they are skipping sections of
the movie) during playback may occur. Software playback performance on Intel’s 400MHz processor
platforms or faster is required to sustain 30 fps (frames per second) which approaches the quality of
most hardware playback solutions.
NOTE: Since MPEG2 video decoding is done through software, a processor of at least
400MHz Pentium II is recommended to provide real-time playback without frame skips.
An MPEG2 hardware decoder PCMCIA card is required on Notebook PCs with slower
processors for smooth DVD playback.
40
Using the Notebook PC 4
Regional Playback Information
Playback of DVD movie titles involves decoding MPEG2 video, digital AC3 audio and decryption of
CSS protected content. CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name given to the content protection
scheme adopted by the motion picture industry to satisfy a need to protect against unlawful content
duplication.
Although the design rules imposed on CSS licensors are many, one rule that is most relevant is playback restrictions on regionalized content. In order to facilitate geographically staggered movie releases,
DVD video titles are released for specific geographic regions as defined in “Region Definitions”
below. Copyright laws require that all DVD movies be limited to a particular region (usually coded to
the region at which it is sold). While DVD movie content may be released for multiple regions, CSS
design rules require that any system capable of playing CSS encrypted content must only be capable of
playing one region.
NOTE: The region setting may be changed up to five times using the viewer software,
then it can only play DVD movies for the last region setting. Changing the region code
after that will require factory resetting which is not covered by warranty . If resetting is
desired, shipping and resetting costs will be at the expense of the user.

Using a CD
A CD drive letter should be present regardless of the presence of a CD disc in the drive. After the CD is
properly inserted, data can be accessed just like with hard disk drives; except that nothing can be
written to or changed on the CD. Vibration is normal for all high-speed CD-ROM drives due to unbalanced CDs or CD print. To decrease vibration, use the Notebook PC on an even surface and do not
place labels on the CD.
Removing a CD
Remove the CD by slowly lifting the CD off the tray by holding the edge of the CD. Do not touch the
bottom-side of the CD where data is read from.
Listening to Audio CD
The CD-ROM, CD-R W , and DVD-ROM drives can play audio CDs, but only the DVD-ROM drive can
play DVD audio. Insert the audio CD and W indows™ automatically opens an audio player and begins

Using the Notebook PC 4
PC Card (PCMCIA) Socket
The Notebook PC supports PC Cards (or sometimes referred to as PCMCIA cards) to allow expansion
like PCI cards on desktop computers. This allows you to customize your Notebook PC to meet a wide
range of application needs. The PCMCIA socket can interface with type I or type II PC cards. PC cards
are about the size of a few stacked credit cards and have a 68-pin connector at one end. The PC Card
standard accommodates a number of function, communication, and data storage expansion options. PC
cards come in memory/flash cards, fax/modems, networking adapters, SCSI adapters, MPEG I/II decoder cards, Smart Cards, and even wireless modem or LAN cards. The Notebook PC supports PCMCIA
2.1, and 32bit CardBus standards.
The three different PC Card standards actually have different thicknesses. Type I cards are 3.3mm,
T ype II cards are 5mm, and T ype III cards are 10.5mm thick. Type I and Type II cards can be used in a
single socket and T ype III cards take up two sockets. Type III cards are only supported on Notebook
PC’s with two PC card sockets.
32-bit CardBus Support
CardBus support allows PC Cards and their hosts to use 32-bit bus mastering and operate at speeds of
up to 33MHz, transferring data in burst modes comparable with PCI’ s 132MB/sec. By comparison, the
standard 16-bit PC Card bus can handle only 20MB/sec. Since the Notebook PC is equipped with
CardBus broader and faster data pathway , it can handle bandwidth-hungry operations, such as 100Mbps
Fast Ethernet, Fast SCSI peripherals, and ISDN-based video conference. The CardBus peripherals
support plug and play.
The CardBus socket is backward-compatible with 16-bit PC Cards serving at 5 volts operation while
CardBus operates at 3.3 volts to reduce power consumption.

Modem and Network Connections
The built-in modem and network model comes with both an RJ-11 and an RJ-45 port. RJ-11 telephone
cables have two or four wires and are used to connect telephones to telephone outlets found in the walls of
residential homes and some commercial buildings (some commercial buildings may have telephone wiring designed for dedicated phone systems that may not be compatible). RJ-45 network cables are found
connecting network computers to network hubs or switches usually found in business environments.
NOTE: The built-in modem and network cannot be installed later as an upgrade. Modem and/or network can be installed as a PC card (PCMCIA).
WARNING! Only use analog telephone outlets. The built-in modem does not support
the voltage used in digital phone systems. Do not connect the RJ-1 1 to digital phone
systems found in many commercial buildings or else damage will occur!
Modem Connection
The telephone wire used to connect the Notebook PC’s internal modem should have either two or four
wires (only two wires (telephone line #1) is used by the modem) and should have an RJ-11 connector
on both ends. Connect one end to the modem port and the other end to an analog telephone wall socket
(the ones found in residential buildings). Once the driver is setup, the modem is ready to use.
NOTE: When you are connected to an online service, do not place the Notebook PC in
suspend (or sleep mode) or else you will disconnect the modem connection.
Modem Protocols
The Notebook PC with internal modem complies with JA TE (Japan), FCC (US, Canada, Korea, T aiwan, and
others), and CTR21 (see related pages for supported countries) for almost worldwide protocol support.

Network Connection
Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the Notebook PC and the other end to a hub or switch. For 100BASE-TX speeds, your network cable must be
category 5 (not category 3) with twisted-pair wiring. If you plan on running the interface at 100Mbps,
it must be connected to a 100BASE-TX hub (not a 100BASE-T4 hub). For 10Base-T , use category 3, 4,
or 5 twisted-pair wiring. Duplex transfers (up to 200Mbps) is supported on this Notebook PC but
requires connection to a switch with “duplex” enabled. The software default is to use the fastest setting
so no user-intervention is required.
Twisted-Pair Cable
The cable used to connect the Ethernet card to a host (generally a Hub or Switch) is called a straightthrough Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE). The end connectors are called RJ-45 connectors, which are not
compatible with RJ-11 telephone connectors. If connecting two computers together without a hub in
between, a crossover twisted-pair is required.

IR Wireless Communication
The Notebook PC is equipped with a conveniently located Infrared (IR) Communication Port (see 2.
Knowing the Parts
Infrared Data Link Version 1.1 compliance, that allows you to perform point-to-point wireless communications. You can use a FIR-specified application to transmit or receive data files with other systems
equipped with an infrared port. You must set these modes in the BIOS before you start to install the IR
driver and file-transferring applications. FIR (Fast Infrared) supports up to 4Mbps. See the Drivers and
Utilities Support CD User’s Manual for detailed setup instructions.
Guidelines for using IR communication
Follow the guidelines listed below when using the Infrared (IR) Communication:
• Make sure the IR Mode in the BIOS Setup is properly set to the mode you would like to use.
• The angle between two Infrared communication ports should not exceed ±15˚.
• The distance between the Notebook PC’ s IR and target device IR should not exceed 20 inches (50 cm).
• Do not move either the Notebook PC or the other device during transmission of data.
• An error may occur if IR transmission is conducted with high levels of noise or vibration.
• A void direct sunlight, flashing incandescent light, florescent light, and other infrared devices such as
remote controls close to the infrared port.

4 Using the Notebook PC
CAUTION! Disable the infrared communication when you are not using the IR for long
periods because the IR consumes a great deal of Windows resources which will decrease the Notebook PC’s performance.
AC Power System
The Notebook PC power is comprised of two parts, the power adapter and the battery power system.
The power adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the Notebook
PC. The battery pack consists of a set of battery cells housed together. The AC Adapter’s primary
function is to provide power to the Notebook PC which also charges the battery pack. When the power
adapter is connected to the Notebook PC, it provides power to the Notebook PC and charges the internal battery at the same time as long as it is plugged into an electrical outlet.
CAUTION! To protect your Notebook PC from damage, use only the power adapter
that came with this Notebook PC because each power adapter has its own power
output ratings.
Battery Power System
The Notebook PC is designed to work with a removable battery pack located inside the battery pack
compartment. A fully charged pack will provide several hours of battery life, which can be further
extended by using power management features through the BIOS setup. The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under the Windows environment, which allows the battery to accurately report the amount of charge percentage left in the battery. Additional battery packs are optional
and can be purchased separately through a Notebook PC retailer. Before using the Notebook PC on
battery power for the first time, check the battery icon in the Windows task bar to make sure that the
battery is fully charged. Charging the battery takes a few hours when the Notebook PC is powered OFF.
Charging the Battery Pack
You can charge the battery pack by using the power adapter. When the power adapter is plugged in, the
inserted battery pack automatically recharges whether your Notebook PC is ON or OFF. It takes a few
hours to receive a full charge when the power is OFF but takes twice as long when the Notebook PC is
in use. When the orange charge LED is flashing, charging is required. The battery is char ging when the
orange LED is solid. When the LED is OFF, the battery pack is charged.
NOTE: The battery stops charging if the temperature is too high or the battery voltage
is too high. BIOS provides a smart battery refreshing function.

Using the Notebook PC 4
Using Battery Power
A fully-charged battery pack provides the Notebook PC a few hours of working power. But the actual
figure varies depending on how you use the power saving features, your general work habits, the CPU,
system memory size, and the size of the display panel.
The “Battery Warning” beeps are automatically enabled in Windows ME and beeps once when down to
10% (configurable in W indows ME) power. The processor is also throttled down to decrease power use.
“Low Battery” condition (3% or less) forces the Notebook PC to enter suspend mode, regardless of
power management settings but the threshold is configurable in Windows ME.
NOTE: Battery Warning and Battery Low conditions immediately stops upon application of the power adapter.
Checking Battery Power
To check the remaining battery power, move your cursor over the power icon. The power icon is a “battery” when not using AC power and a “plug” when using AC power. Double click on the icon for more
information and settings.
Power icon using battery .
NOTE: If you ignore the low battery warning, eventually the Notebook PC enters suspend mode (Windows default uses STR).
WARNING! Save-to-RAM does not last long when the battery power is depleted. Save
to Disk (STD) is not the same as power OFF. STD requires a small amount of power
and will fail if no power is available due to complete battery depletion or no power
supply (e.g. removing both the power adapter and battery pack).
WARNING! Never attempt to remove the battery pack while the power is ON, or if the
system has not yet entered into the suspend mode as this may result in the data loss.

4 Using the Notebook PC
Power Management Modes
The Notebook PC has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that you can use to
maximize battery life and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). You can control some of these features through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup. ACPI power management settings are made through
the operating system. The power management features are designed to save as much electricity as
possible by putting components into a low power consumption mode as often as possible but also allow
full operation on demand. These low power modes are referred to as Standby (or Suspend-to-RAM)
and Hibernation mode or Suspend-to-Disk (STD). The Standby mode is a simple function provided by
the operating system. When the Notebook PC is in either one of the power saving modes, the status will
be shown by the following: Standby: Power LED Blinks and Hibernation: Power LED OFF.
Full Power Mode & Maximum Performance
The Notebook PC operates in Full Power mode when the power management function is disabled by
configuring Windows power management and Speedstep (see Driver & Utility manual). When the
Notebook PC is operating in Full Power Mode, the Power LED remains ON. If you are conscious of
both system performance and power consumption, select “Maximum Performance” instead of disabling all power management features.
ACPI
Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) was developed by Intel, Microsoft, and T oshiba
especially for Windows and later to control power management and Plug and Play features. ACPI is the
new standard in power management for Notebook PCs. If installing Windows 98 using a BIOS dated
12/1/1999 or later, ACPI is automatically installed.
NOTE: APM was used in older operating systems like Windows NT4 and Windows 98.
Because newer operating systems like Windows 2000 and Windows ME utilize ACPI,
APM is no longer fully supported on this Notebook PC.
Suspend Mode
In Standby and Hibernation, the CPU clock is stopped and most of the Notebook PC devices are put in
their lowest active state. The suspend mode is the lowest power state of the Notebook PC. The Notebook
PC enters Suspend when the system remains idle for a specified amount of time or manually using the
[Fn][F1] keys. The Power LED blinks when the Notebook PC is in STR mode. In STD mode, the Notebook PC will appear to be powered OFF. Recover from STR by pressing any keyboard button
(except Fn). Recover from STD by using the power switch (just like powering ON the Notebook
PC).
52
Using the Notebook PC 4
Power Savings
In addition to reducing the CPU clock, this mode puts devices including the LCD backlight in their
lower active state. The Notebook PC enters Standby mode (low priority) when the system remains idle
for a specified amount of time. The timeout can be set through BIOS setup (lower priority) and Windows power management (higher priority). To resume system operation, press any key.

Thermal Power Control
There are three power control methods for controlling the Notebook PC’s thermal state. These power
control cannot be configured by the user and should be known in case the Notebook PC should enter
these states. The following temperatures represent the chassis temperature (not CPU).
• The fan turns ON for active cooling when the temperature reaches the safe upper limit.
• The CPU decreases speed for passive cooling when the temperature exceeds the safe upper limit.
• The system shut down for critical cooling when temperature exceeds the maximum safe upper limit.

4 Using the Notebook PC
System DDR Memory Expansion
Additional memory is optional and not required to use the Notebook
PC. Additional memory will increase application performance by decreasing hard disk access. This is more noticeable on newer software
that require more and more system resources. The Notebook PC comes
with some built-in memory. One standard 144-pin SO-DIMM (Small
Outline Dual Inline Memory Module) socket is available for system
memory expansion using common 3.3 Volt 133MHz SDRAM SO-DIMM modules. Currently, SO-
DIMM memory sizes are available up to 512MB for each module. The BIOS automatically detects the
amount of memory in the system and configures CMOS accordingly during the POST (Power-On-SelfTest) process. There is no hardware or software (including BIOS) setup required after the memory is
installed. Only purchase expansion modules from authorized retailers of this Notebook PC to ensure
compatibility and reliability.
CAUTION! This Notebook PC does not support EDO DRAM.
Hard Disk Drive
Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster speeds than floppy disk drives and
CD-ROM drives. Enhanced IDE drives provide a reliable, fast, and cost-effective mass storage solution
in the PC storage industry. This Notebook PC supports high speed transfer modes up to 133MB/sec
(UltraATA/133) but is also backward compatible with PIO modes. The Notebook PC comes with a
removable 2.5” (6.35cm) wide and .374” (.95cm) high UltraATA/133/100/66 IDE hard disk drive with
current capacities up to 40GB. Current IDE hard drives support S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) to detect hard disk errors or failures before they happen. Note: AiBox only sup-
ports ATA/33 transfer speed.
Important Handling Note
Improper handling during transit may damage the hard disk drive. Handle the Notebook PC carefully
and keep it away from static electricity and strong vibrations or impact. The hard disk drive is the most
sensitive component of the Notebook PC and will likely be the first or only component that is damaged
if the Notebook PC is dropped.
Processor & Hard Disk Drive Upgrades
Visit an authorized service center or retailer for processor upgrades.
WARNING! End-user removal of the CPU or hard disk drive will void the warranty.
