Power System

Using AC Power

The UltraMobilePC 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 UltraMobilePC. Your UltraMobilePC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter. That means that you may connect the power cord to any 100V-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: You can buy travel kits for the UltraMobilePC 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 Ultra-

MobilePC. Connecting the AC-DC adapter to the AC outlet rst 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 UltraMobilePC. The power indicator on the adapter (if available) will light if the power is within accepted ranges.

IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the UltraMobilePC or use the UltraMobilePC’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 UltraMobilePC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.

NOTE: This UltraMobilePC 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 UltraMobilePC.

WARNING! THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE. BE SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.

Using Battery Power

The UltraMobilePC is designed to work with a removable battery pack. The battery pack consists of a set of battery cells housed together. 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. Additional battery packs are optional and can be purchased separately through a retailer.

Installing and Removing the Battery Pack

Your UltraMobilePC may or may not have its battery pack installed. If your UltraMobilePC does not have its battery pack installed, use the following procedures to install the battery pack.

IMPORTANT! Never attempt to remove the battery pack while the UltraMobilePC is turned ON, as this may result in the loss of working data.

To install the battery pack: To remove the battery pack:

IMPORTANT! Only use battery packs and power adapters supplied with this Ultra-

MobilePC or specically approved by the manufacturer or retailer for use with this

model or else damage may occur to the UltraMobilePC.

Battery Care

The UltraMobilePC’s battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit on the number times it can be recharged. The battery pack’s useful life will depend on your environment temperature, humidity, and how your UltraMobilePC is used. It is ideal that the battery be used in a tem-

perature range between 5˚C and 35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F). You must also take into account that the

UltraMobilePC’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 UltraMobilePC. Because batteries also have a shelf life, it is not recommended to buy extras for storing.

WARNING! For safety reasons, DO NOT throw the battery in re, DO NOT

short circuit the contacts, and DO NOT disassemble the battery. If there is any abnormal operation or damage to the battery pack caused by impact, turn OFF the UltraMobilePC and contact an authorized service center.

UltraMobilePC

Powering ON the UltraMobilePC

The UltraMobilePC’s power-ON message appears on the screen when you turn it ON. If necessary, you may adjust the brightness by using the hotkey. If you need to run the BIOS

Setup to set or modify the system conguration, 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.

NOTE: Before bootup, the display panel ashes when the power is turned ON. This

is part of the UltraMobilePC’s test routine and is not a problem with the display.

IMPORTANT! To protect the hard disk drive, always wait at least 5 seconds after turning OFF your UltraMobilePC before turning it back ON.

WARNING! DO NOT carry or cover a UltraMobilePC that is powered ON with any materials that will reduce air circulation such as a carrying bag.

The Power-On Self Test (POST)

When you turn ON the UltraMobilePC, it will rst 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 UltraMobilePC’s architecture. The POST includes a

record of the UltraMobilePC’s hardware conguration, 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 mes-

sage on the screen prompting you to correct the conict by running BIOS Setup. In most

cases the record should be correct when you receive the UltraMobilePC. When the test is

nished, 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.

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 Windows disk checking program. To run Window’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.

IMPORTANT! If warnings are still given during bootup after running a software disk checking utility, you should take your UltraMobilePC in for servicing. Continued use may result in data loss.

UltraMobilePC

Checking Battery Power

The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under the Windows environment, which allows the battery to accurately report the amount of charge left in the battery. A fullycharged battery pack provides the UltraMobilePC a few hours of working power. But the

actual gure 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.

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.

Move your mouse over the battery icon for remaining power information�

NOTE: You will be warned when battery power is low. If you continue to ignore the low battery warnings, the UltraMobilePC eventually enters suspend mode (Windows default uses STR).

Note: Screen captures shown here are examples only and may not reect what you

see in your system.

WARNING! Suspend-to-RAM (STR) does not last long when the battery power is depleted. Suspend-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).

When the AC power is connected, charging status will be shown�

Right-click the battery icon for sub-menus�

Left-click the battery icon for power management settings�

Charging the Battery Pack

Before you use your UltraMobilePC on the road, you will have to charge the battery pack. The battery pack begins to charge as soon as the UltraMobilePC is connected to external

power using the power adapter. Fully charge the battery pack before using it for the rst time.

A new battery pack must completely charge before the UltraMobilePC is disconnected from external power. It takes a few hours to fully charge the battery when the UltraMobilePC is turned OFF and may take twice the time when the UltraMobilePC is turned ON. The battery charge light turns OFF when 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. If the battery calibration process fails, stop charging and contact an authorized service center.

WARNING! Do not leave the battery pack discharged. The battery pack will discharge over time. If not using a battery pack, it must continued to be charged every three months to extend recovery capacity or else it may fail to charge in the future.

UltraMobilePC

Fast-Ethernet Connection

Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the UltraMobilePC and the other end to a hub or switch. For 100 BASE-TX speeds, your network cable must be category 5 or better (not category 3) with twisted-pair wiring. If you plan on running the interface at 100Mbps, it must be connected to a 100 BASE-TX hub (not a BASE-T4 hub). For 10Base-T, use category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring. 10/100 Mbps Full-Duplex is supported on this UltraMobilePC but requires connection to a network

switching hub 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 LAN cable is required.

Bluetooth Wireless Connection

UltraMobilePCs with Bluetooth technology eliminates the need for cables for connecting Bluetooth-enabled devices. Examples of Bluetooth-enabled devices may be mouse, keyboard, UltraMobilePCs, Desktop PCs, mobile phones, and PDAs.

Note: If your UltraMobilePC did not come with built-in Bluetooth, you need to connect a USB Bluetooth module in order to use Bluetooth.

Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones

You can wireless connect to your mobile phone. Depending on your mobile phone’s

capabilities, you can transfer phone book data, photos, sound les, etc. or use it as

a modem to connect to the Internet. You may also use it for SMS messaging.

Bluetooth-enabled computers or PDAs

You can wireless connect to another computer or PDA and exchange les,

share peripherals, or share Internet or network connections. You may also make use of Bluetooth-enabled wireless keyboard or mouse.

Pairing with Bluetooth-enabled devices

You rst need to pair your UltraMobilePC with a Bluetooth-enabled device

before you can connect to it. Make sure the Bluetooth-enabled device is turned ON and ready to accept a pair. Launch Bluetooth Settings from Windows Start | Programs | Bluetooth or select Add New Connection from the Bluetooth taskbar icon if available.

UltraMobilePC

Power Management Modes

The UltraMobilePC 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 “Stand by” (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 UltraMobilePC

is in either one of the power saving modes, the status will be shown by the following: “Stand by”: Power LED Blinks and “Hibernation”: Power LED OFF.

Full Power Mode & Maximum Performance

The UltraMobilePC operates in Full Power mode when the power management function is dis-

abled by conguring Windows power management and SpeedStep. When the UltraMobilePC 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 Conguration and Power Management (ACPI) was developed by Intel, Microsoft, and

Toshiba especially for Windows and later to control power management and Plug and Play features. ACPI is the new standard in power management for UltraMobilePCs.

NOTE: APM was used in older operating systems like Windows NT4 and Windows 98. Because newer operating systems like Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows ME utilize ACPI, APM is no longer fully supported on this UltraMobilePC.

Suspend Mode

In “Stand by” (STR) and “Hibernation” (STD), the CPU clock is stopped and most of the UltraMobilePC devices are put in their lowest active state. The suspend mode is the lowest power state of the UltraMobilePC. The Power LED blinks when the UltraMobilePC is in STR mode. In STD mode, the UltraMobilePC will appear to be powered OFF. Recover from STD by using the power

switch (just like powering ON the UltraMobilePC).

Power Savings

In addition to reducing the CPU clock, this mode puts devices including the LCD backlight in their

lower active state. The UltraMobilePC enters “Stand by” mode (low priority) when the system remains idle for a specied amount of time. The time-out can be set through Windows power

management (higher priority). To resume system operation, press any key.

• Battery low

• Power button

Thermal Power Control

There are three power control methods for controlling the UltraMobilePC’s thermal state.

These power control cannot be congured by the user and should be known in case the

UltraMobilePC 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.

35

UltraMobilePC

Stand by and Hibernate

Power management settings can be found in the Windows control panel. The following shows

the power options properties in Windows. You can dene “Stand By” or “Shut down” for closing the display panel, pressing the power button, or activating sleep mode. “Stand by” and “Hibernate” saves power when your UltraMobilePC 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. “Shut down” 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. To

operate: select “Start” | “Shut down”, and “Stand by”.

“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 periodically refreshed and power consumption is greatly reduced

but not completely. “Hibernate” saves more power compared to “Stand by”. To operate: Enable hibernation in “Power Options” and select “Start” | “Shut down”, and “Hibernate”.

BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)

BIOS is a set of routines that affect how the computer transfers data between computer components, such as memory, disks, and the display adapter. The BIOS instructions are built into

the computer’s read-only memory. BIOS parameters can be congured by the user through

the BIOS Setup program. The BIOS can be updated using the provided utility to copy a new

BIOS le into the EEPROM.

Bit (Binary Digit)

Represents the smallest unit of data used by the computer. A bit can have one of two values: 0 or 1.

Boot

Boot means to start the computer operating system by loading it into system memory. When

the manual instructs you to “boot” your system (or computer), it means to turn ON your computer. “Reboot” means to restart your computer. When using Windows 95 or later, selecting “Restart” from “Start | Shut Down...” will reboot your computer.

47

UltraMobilePC

Bluetooth (on selected models)

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology that lets you connect computers, mobile phones, and handheld devices to each other and to the Internet. Bluetooth technology eliminates the ned for the cables that connect devices together. Bluetooth-enabled devices connect wirelessly within a 10 m range.

Byte (Binary Term)

One byte is a group of eight contiguous bits. A byte is used to represent a single alphanumeric character, punctuation mark, or other symbol.

Clock Throttling

Chipset function which allows the processor’s clock to be stopped and started at a known duty cycle. Clock throttling is used for power savings, thermal management, and reducing processing speed.

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

The CPU, sometimes called “Processor,” actually functions as the “brain” of the computer.

It interprets and executes program commands and processes data stored in memory.

Driver

A device driver is a special set of software instructions that allows the computer’s operating system to communicate with hardware devices such as VGA, audio, Ethernet, printer, or modem. Usually a driver is supplied with the corresponding hardware device.

DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)

DVD is essentially a bigger, faster CD that can hold video as well as audio and computer data with the same physical dimension. With these capacities and access rates, DVD discs can provide you with dramatically-enhanced high-color, full-motion videos, better graphics, sharper pictures, and digital audio for a theater-like 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 video game cartridges. To view DVD, a DVD drive is required.

Hardware

Hardware is a general term referring to the physical components of a computer system, including peripherals such as printers, modems, and pointing devices.

Hibernation Mode

A power mode that saves all data in memory to the hard disk and turns the CPU and hard disk off. When canceling Hibernation Mode, all application programs that were running are restored to their last state.

48

UltraMobilePC

IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics)

IDE devices integrate the drive control circuitry directly on the drive itself, eliminating the need for a separate adapter card (in the case for SCSI devices). UltraDMA/66 or 100 IDE devices can achieve up to 33MB/Sec transfer.

POST (Power On Self Test)

When you turn on the computer, it will rst run through the POST, a series of software-controlled diagnostic tests. The POST checks system memory, the motherboard circuitry, the display, the keyboard, the diskette drive, and other I/O devices.

RAM (Random Access Memory)

RAM (usually just called memory) is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are temporarily kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computer’s processor instead of having to read from and write to slower storage such as the hard disk or optical disc.

Standby Mode

A power mode that enables a computer to save power consumption while not in use. When a computer is in Standby Mode, the data on the computer memory is not saved onto the hard disk. If the power is tuned off, the data in memory will be lost.

Suspend Mode

In Save-to-RAM (STR) and Save-to-Disk (STD), the CPU clock is stopped and most of the UltraMobilePC devices are put in their lowest active state. The UltraMobilePC enters

Suspend when the system remains idle for a specied amount of time or manually using the

function keys. The time-out setting of both Hard Disk and Video can be set by the BIOS Setup. The Power LED blinks when the UltraMobilePC is in STR mode. In STD mode, the UltraMobilePC will appear to be powered OFF.

System Disk

A system disk contains the core le of an operating system and is used to boot up the operating system.

Twisted-Pair Cable

The cable used to connect the Ethernet card to a host (generally a Hub or Switch) is called a straight-through 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.

UltraDMA/66 or 100

UltraDMA/66 or 100 are new specications to improve IDE transfer rates. Unlike traditional

PIO mode, which only uses the rising edge of IDE command signal to transfer data, UltraDMA/66 or 100 uses both rising edge and falling edge.
