Information about ENERGY STAR
- The ENERGY STAR Computers Program was created by the EPA to promote energy efficiency and reduce air pollution
through more energy-efficient equipment in homes, offices, and factories.
- One way products achieve this is by reducing power consumption when not being used through the Microsoft Windows®
Power Management feature.
- The Power Management feature allows the computer to enter into a low-power or “sleep” mode after a period of user
inactivity.
Trigem computers marked with the ENERGY STAR Logo are compliant with the applicable U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency ENERGY STAR specifications for computers. The EPA ENERGY STAR Logo
does not imply endorsement by the EPA. As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Trigem Computer (AVERATEC) has
determined the products marked with the ENERGY STAR Logo are ENERGY STAR qualified as per the
applicable ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.
When used with an external ENERGY STAR compliant monitor, this feature will also support similar power management
features of the monitor. To take advantage of this energy savings:
• The Power Management feature has been preset to power down the computer after 20 minutes of user inactivity.
• The Power Management feature has been preset to power down the monitor after 10 minutes of user inactivity.

Recovering Your Original Software
WARNING
- If you recover your hard disk, you will lose all the data and programs on your hard disk. After recovering, you must
reinstall any software not originally installed from the factory. Be sure to backup your own data before running the
recovery process.
- Please run the recovery process after connecting the power adapter to your system. During the recovery process, if
the battery is drained, the system will be turned off and it may cause damage to your hard disk.
To recover the hard disk drive as the factory setting, refer to the follow steps:
1
Connect the power adapter to your system.
2
Press the power button.
3
When the “[F5] key for HDD Recovery” message appears on the screen, press [F5] on the upper side of the keyboard.
4
When the “Windows Setup [EMS Enabled]” message appears, press Enter.
5
Restoration procedures will be started, follow the on-screen instructions to recover your hard disk drive.

Modern standard for reducing power usage in systems
Application
A piece of software used to carry out a particular task, like a Microsoft Word program or graphics package.
Backup
A copy of a file, folder or disk made for safe keeping.
Baud rate
The baud rate is the number of bits transmitted per second in serial communications.
BIOS (Basic Input / Output System)
BIOS is a set of routines that affect how the system transfers data between system components, such as memory, disks,
and display adapter. The BIOS instructions are built into the system’s read-only memory. BIOS parameters can be configure
by the user through the BIOS Setup program.
C-2
Appendix C Glossary
Bit (Binary Digit)
Represents the smallest unit of data used by the system. A bit can have one of two values: 0 or 1.
Boot
Boot means to start the system operating system by loading it into system memory. When the manual instructs you ºº
‘boot’ your system, it means to turn ON your system.
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.
Contrast ratio
This is the difference of brightness between the brightest and the
darkest area. Higher contrast ratio supports more original-like colors.
Cursor
A blinking line or block on the screen that indicates where your next keystroke will have an effect.
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
The CPU, sometimes called Processor, actually functions as the brain of the system. It interprets and executes program
commands and processes data stored in memory.
C-3
Appendix C Glossary
Default
A pre-set value used by a system until it is specifically changed by a user.
Device
A device is a piece of hardware attached to a system (usually a peripheral), for example a printer or mouse.
Device Driver
A device driver is a special set of instructions that allows the system’s operating system to communicate with devices such
as VGA, audio, Ethernet, printer, or LAN.
Disk
Magnetic medium used for storing information.
Drive
The device that holds and reads a hard disk or diskette.
DVD
DVD is essentially a bigger, faster CD that can hold video as well as audio and system 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 digital audio for a theater-like experience.
File
A collection of related instructions or data stored on disk.
C-4
Appendix C Glossary
Hard Disk

pointing devices.
Horizontal frequency
Number of horizontal lines displayable per second is called Horizontal frequency. The unit is kHz.

I/O
Abbreviation for input / output.
C-5
Appendix C Glossary
Kilobyte (Kbyte or KB)
1024 Kbyes, denoted as 1Kbyte, 1KB or 1K.1024 Kbytes equal 1 Megabyte (or Mbyte), over one million bytes.

Peripheral
An external device connected to the system. Peripherals are generally used for input and output. Examples include disks,
LAN, and printers.
Plug and play function
- This is a function for easy, convenient and automatic configurations of new hardware.
- When the LCD monitor is connected to a computer, using DDC(Display Data Channel) - a kind of communication
medium, optimal screen status is configured.
PCI Bus (Peripheral Component Interconnect Local Bus)
PCI bus is a specification that defines a 32-bit data bus interface. PCI is a standard widely used by expansion card
manufactures.
POST (Power On Self Test)
When you turn on the system, it will first run through the POST, a series of software-controlled diagnostic tests. The POST
checks system memory, the motherboard circuitry, the keyboard, the diskette drive, and other I/O devices.
Power saving
To save energy while the system is non operating, a signal must be received from video chipsets to initialize Energy saving
status. This signal is called VESA DPMS (Video electronics standards association power management signaling). Modern
LCD monitors mostly support this saving function (DPMS). Since mostly LCD monitors are not used solely, this energy
saving function is not controlled by the LCD monitor, but rather controlled by the system.
C-7
Appendix C Glossary
Program
A series of specially coded instructions that perform a specific task when executed by a system.
RAM (Random Access Memory)
RAM is the place in a system where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are temporarily
kept so that they can be quickly reached by the system’s processor instead of having to read from and write to slower
storage such as the hard disk or optical disc.
Suspend Mode
In Save-to-RAM (STR) and Save-to-Disk (STD), the CPU clock is stopped and the system devices are put in their lowest
active state. The PC enters Suspend when the system remains idle for a specified amount of time.
System Disk
A system disk contains the core file of an operating system and is used to boot up the operating system.
ROM

used to contain the systems diagnostic programs, and a very basic input / output system.
USB (Universal Serial Bus)
A 4-pin serial peripheral bus that allows plug and play system peripherals such as keyboard, mouse, scanner, printer to be
automatically configured when they are attached physically without having to install drivers or reboot.
C-8
Appendix C Glossary
Video Memory
A special area of memory used by the hardware which operates the system’s display or monitor.
View angle
LCD has lower power consumption, low voltage requirement, and is thin and light, so that it is suitable for high resolution
full color pictures. However, its weak point is its narrow view angle. View angle means the angle from which the screen can
be watched. Wider view angel means
brightness and resolution are consistent without regard to viewers’ location.
Vertical frequency
Number of screen output repetitions per second is called Vertical frequency or ‘Refresh rate’. The unit is Hz.
