1.5 Notebook Accessories and System Options

It is also important to understand the accessories that come along with the notebook and the
options for fully utilizing the capabilities of the computer. This section describes briefly what
these accessories and options are.

1.5.1 AC Adapter and Power Cord

The AC Adapter supplies external power to your computer and at the same time charges the
internal battery pack. The AC adapter has an auto-switching design that can connect to any
100VAC ~ 240VAC power outlets. Connect the adapter to the AC wall outlet using the power
cord. You just change the power cord if you are going to use your notebook in other countries
with different connector outlets. When you connect the AC adapter, it charges the battery
whether or not the notebook computer is powered on. There is an LED on the AC adapter to
indicate if DC power is already available.

1.5.2 Battery Pack

Aside from the AC adapter, your computer can also be powered through the internal battery
pack. The battery pack uses rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery cells that provide long
computing hours when fully charged and power management enabled. You should always
leave the battery inside your computer even when using the AC adapter as it also acts as a

FIC MD02 Service Manual 1-13

PDF created with FinePrint pdfFactory trial version http://www.fineprint.com

Outline of the MD02

back-up power supply in case power from the AC adapter is cut off. It is also very important to
have the battery pack always charged to prevent battery cell degradation.

1.5.3 Internal Modem Module

The notebook allows you to insert a proprietary internal 56Kbps-modem card to the notebook
found on the underside of the notebook. The internal modem card supports only fax and data
communication and is V.90-compliant. You connect the telephone line to the RJ-11 jack found
on the rear side of the notebook.

1.5.4 Internal Ethernet LAN Module

This notebook comes with an optional 10Base-T/100Base-TX LAN module that supports data
transfer rates at 10Mbps and can be up to 100Mbps.

1.5.5 DVD-ROM Drive

Other than the internal CD-ROM drive, the notebook also provides optional factory built-in
DVD-ROM drive. DVD-ROM drives are also backward compatible with CD-ROM, so you can
also use any audio CDs, video CDs, photo CDs, and CD-R. Using a software MPEG-2/DVD
program, the notebook can playback any commercial DVD movie titles.

1.6 System BIOS SETUP Program

Your computer is likely to have been properly setup and configured by your dealer prior to
delivery. However, you may find it necessary to use the computer’s BIOS (Basic Input-Output
System) Setup program to change system configuration information, such as the current date
and time, or your hard disk drive type. The Setup program can be accessed when you power
on the system and pressing the <F2> function key.
The settings that you specify within the Setup program are recorded in a special area memory
called the
when you turn off or reset the system. Whenever you turn on the computer, the system will
read the settings stored in the CMOS RAM and compare them to the equipment check
conducted during the Power On Self Test (POST). If an error occurs, an error message will be
displayed on the screen, and you will then be prompted to run the Setup Program.
As the POST (Power-On Self Test) executes during the boot up process, the screen will
display the following message:

CMOS RAM

. This memory is backed up by a battery so that is will not be erased

Press <F2> to Enter SETUP
Press the <F2> key to run the BIOS Setup program. The BIOS Setup program is organized
into five menus which you can select using the ß and à keys. To move from one option to
another, you use the up and down arrow keys while using the <F5> and <F6>, or <+>and <->
keys to change the settings. On the right hand side of the screen are some brief help
descriptions of each item you want to change.
On the BIOS Setup program, you will find the following parts on the screen:

•

Item Specific Help
The right side of the screen. This area describes each parameter and its
available settings.

• Menu Bar
The top line of the screen. Each of the five selections displays its own screen.

• Parameters
The left side of the screen. This area lists the parameters and their current
settings.

• Key Status Bar
The bottom part of the screen. These lines display the keys available to move
the cursor, select a particular function and so forth.

To exit the BIOS Setup program, simply press the <Esc> key and select from the Exit menu
whether you want to Save changes and exit; Discard Changes and exit.
