Status Indicators
Power Indicator
The power indicator lights when the UltraMobilePC is turned ON and blinks slowly
when the UltraMobilePC is in the Suspend-to-RAM (Standby) mode. This indicator is
OFF when the UltraMobilePC is turned OFF or in the Suspend-to-Disk (Hibernation)
Battery Charge Indicator
The battery charge indicator shows the status of the battery’s power as follows:
ON: The UltraMobilePC’s battery is charging when AC power is connected.
OFF: The UltraMobilePC’s battery is charged or completely drained.
Blinking: Battery power is less than 10% and the AC power is not connected.
Drive Activity Indicator
Indicates that the UltraMobilePC is accessing one or more storage device(s) such as the
hard disk. The light ashes proportional to the access time.
Wireless LAN Indicator
When the built-in wireless LAN is enabled, this indicator will light. (Windows software
settings are necessary to use this function.)

Operating System
This UltraMobilePC may offer (depending on territory) its customers the choice of a preinstalled operating system such as Microsoft Windows XP. The choices and languages will
depend on the territory. The levels of hardware and software support may vary depending
on the installed operating system. The stability and compatibility of other operating systems
cannot be guaranteed.
Support Software
This UltraMobilePC comes with a support CD that
provides BIOS, drivers and applications to enable hardware features, extend functionality, help manage your
UltraMobilePC, or add functionality not provided by
the native operating system. If updates or replacement
of the support CD is necessary, contact your dealer for web sites to download individual
software drivers and utilities.
The support CD contains all drivers, utilities and software for all popular operating systems
including those that have been pre-installed. The support CD does not include the operating
system itself. The support CD is necessary even if your UltraMobilePC came pre-congured
in order to provide additional software not included as part of the factory pre-install.
A recovery CD is optional and includes an image of the original operating system installed
on the hard drive at the factory. The recovery CD provides a comprehensive recovery solution that quickly restores the UltraMobilePC’s operating system to its original working state
provided that your hard disk drive is in good working order. Contact your retailer if you
require such a solution.
Note: Some of the UltraMobilePC’s components and features may not
work until the device drivers and utilities are installed.

UltraMobilePC
Fast-Ethernet 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 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 Notebook PC 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.
Example of the UltraMobilePC connected to a Network Hub or Switch for use with the
built-in Ethernet controller.

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-11 to digital phone
systems found in many commercial buildings or else damage will occur!

Wireless LAN Connection (on selected models)
The optional built-in wireless LAN is a compact easy-to-use wireless Ethernet adapter. Implementing the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LAN (WLAN), the optional built-in wireless
LAN is capable of fast data transmission rates using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies on 2.4GHz/5GHz
frequencies. The optional built-in wireless LAN is backward compatible with the earlier
IEEE 802.11 standards allowing seamless interfacing of wireless LAN standards.
The optional built-in wireless LAN is a client adapter that supports Infrastructure and Ad-hoc
modes giving you exibility on your existing or future wireless network congurations for
distances up to 40 meters between the client and the access point.
To provide efcient security to your wireless communication, the optional built-in wireless
LAN comes with a 64-bit/128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA) features.
These are examples of the UltraMobilePC
connected to a Wireless Network�
Ad-hoc mode
The Ad-hoc mode allows the UltraMobilePC
to connect to another wireless device. No
access point (AP) is required in this wireless
environment.
(All devices must install optional 802�11 wireless LAN
adapters�)
Infrastructure mode
The Infrastructure mode allows the UltraMobilePC and other wireless devices to join a
wireless network created by an Access Point
(AP) (sold separately) that provides a central
link for wireless clients to communicate with
each other or with a wired network.
(All devices must install optional 802�11 wireless LAN
adapters�)

Bluetooth Wireless Connection (on selected models)
Notebook PCs with Bluetooth technology eliminates the need for cables for connecting
Bluetooth-enabled devices. Examples of Bluetooth-enabled devices may be Notebook PCs,
Desktop PCs, mobile phones, and PDAs.
Note: If your Notebook PC 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 Notebook PC 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.

TPM
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) (on selected models)
The TPM, or Trusted Platform Module, is a security hardware device on the system board
that will hold computer-generated keys for encryption. It is a hardware-based solution that an
help avoid attacks by hackers looking to capture passwords and encryption keys to sensitive
data. The TPM provides the ability to the PC or notebook to run applications more secure
and to make transactions and communication more trustworthy.
The security features provided by the TPM are internally supported by the following cryptographic capabilities of each TPM: hashing, random number generation, asymmetric key
generation, and asymmetric encryption/decryption. Each individual TPM on each individual
computer system has a unique signature initialized during the silicon manufacturing process
that further enhances its trust/security effectiveness. Each individual TPM must have an
Owner before it is useful as a security device.
TPM Applications
TPM is useful for any customer that is interested in providing an addition layer of security to
the computer system. The TPM, when bundled with an optional security software package, can
provide overall system security, le protection capabilities and protect against email/privacy
concerns. TPM helps provide security that can be stronger than that contained in the system
BIOS, operating system, or any non-TPM application.
Note: The TPM is disabled by default. Use BIOS setup to enable it.
Important: Use your TPM application’s “Restore” or “Migration” function to backup your
TPM security data.
You can launch the Security Platform
application from Windows “Control Panel”�
When the Security Platform is running, this
icon will show in the Windows taskbar� You
can choose to initialize or manage here�

You can launch the Security Platform
application from Windows “Start” menu�
When you launch the Security Platform
application for the rst time, answer Yes and
follow the instructions to congure it.
