such interference occurs, the PC should not be considered faulty.

Note the following precautions to prevent television or radio interference:

Precautions on PC

● Do not use the PC with the cover open.

● Use a specified cable to connect peripheral devices.

● When connecting a cable, make sure that the connector is firmly fixed. Be also sure to

completely tighten the screws.

● Connect the power plug of this PC to a different outlet from that accepting the power plug of
a television or radio.

Precautions on television/radio

● Keep a television or radio away from this PC.

● Adjust the direction or position of a television/radio antenna to eliminate interference.

● Keep the antenna wiring of a television/radio away from this PC.

● Use a coaxial cable for an antenna.

Whether the PC or peripheral device affects television or radio reception can be determined by
turning the entire PC, including the peripheral devices, off.

If interference occurs on a television or radio, review the items listed above.
If interference still occurs, contact your nearest Fujitsu Service Center or the shop where you

purchased the PC.

■ USB (Windows 98/2000/Me model)

“USB” stands for “Universal Serial Bus”, which standardizes mouse, keyboard, printer, modem,
and speaker interfaces.



 Point



Some USB-compliant peripheral devices require a special device driver to be installed.
USB is supported by Windows 98, 2000 and Me. Before using a USB device, make sure that it is

supported by the OS used.
Depending on the type of a connected USB device, Windows may not be closed properly. In this

case, remove the device and close Windows.
Even if your USB keyboard has a PS/2 mouse port, connect your mouse to the rear side of the PC

unit.

58

■ USB keyboard (Windows 98 model)

After selecting [Control Panel]-[Accessibility Options]-[FilterKeys]-[Settings] and enabling [Use
Shortcut], the shortcut key function is disabled and [Use FilterKeys] is not set even after the [Right
Shift] key has been pressed for 8 or more seconds.

In this case, use the mouse to set the [Use FilterKeys] checkbox.

■ Addition of LAN adapter

When this PC is operated as a client and a LAN adapter is added, the adapter cannot be used
simultaneously with the standard LAN function.

■ Wake up On LAN

By setting [Power-saving settings]-[Auto Wake up]-[Wake up On LAN] of BIOS Setup to [Enabled],
the PC can be turned on via LAN (WOL: Wake up On LAN).

■ Precautions on using display

● Depending on the setting of the display used (ex. resolution), the thicknesses of the vertical

and horizontal lines may seem to be different on CAD or other application. If such difference
is detected, adjust the setting.

● Although the screen may be distorted temporarily or display horizontal lines at the beginning

of a screen display (such as the Windows startup and shutdown screen) or when the display
mode is changed (for example, from the power-saving mode to the normal mode), this does
not indicate a fault.

■ Precautions on using analog LCD

On some analog LCDs, the screen may appear to be doubled or tripled. In this case, set the refresh
rate to 60Hz.

■ Adjustment of analog display screen position

For an analog display, the BIOS Setup or MS-DOS screen may be displayed in a wrong position
on the 640 x 480 (60Hz) Windows screen after the position is adjusted using the display. In this
case, adjust the position on each screen.

■ Display of video memory capacity

Although the video memory capacity is not displayed correctly in [Display Properties], it should
not be considered faulty.

■ Connection of display

If the screen is not centered on the connected display, check if the screen frequency is set in
accordance with the display. In the case that the screen is not centered even though the frequency
is proper, adjust it using the display.

59

■ Replacement of display

If the display is replaced with a different type (especially with an LCD), a display error such as a
blank screen may occur. In this case, replace the display as follows:

For Windows 95/98/Me model
1 Set the resolution to 640 x 480 (the setting before replacement).
2 Set the refresh rate to “Adapter default” or “Adapter standard”.
3 Close Windows, turn the PC unit off, and replace the display.

If nothing appears or some resolutions are unavailable after the display is replaced without the
above setting, reinstall the display driver as follows:

1 Start Windows in the Safe mode.
2 Set the graphic adapter to “Standard VGA” and restart Windows.
3 Reinstall the display driver.

For Windows NT model
1 Turn the PC off and replace the display.
2 Start the PC with Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 [VGA mode].
3 Set the resolution, number of colors, and refresh rate in accordance with the display

specifications, and restart the PC.

For Windows 2000 model
1 Set the resolution to 640 x 480.
2 Set the refresh rate to 60Hz.
3 Close Windows, turn the PC unit off, and replace the display.

If nothing appears or some resolutions are unavailable after the display is replaced without the
above setting, reinstall the display driver as follows:

1 Start Windows with “VGA mode” enabled.
2 Reinstall the display driver.

■ Power-saving function

If the power saving function is triggered during animation is being played, or music recorded or
played, operation of the application becomes unstable. In this case, disable the power-saving
function.

■ Peripheral devices/cables

Use a Fujitsu-supplied product for a peripheral device or cable to be connected to the PC.
Some commercially-available peripheral devices or cables cannot be connected to the PC

properly.

■ Mouse with scroll (wheel) function

A mouse with the scroll function (PS/2) must be connected to the PC unit.
If the USB keyboard and a mouse with the scroll function (PS/2) are used at the same time, the

mouse may be disabled in the Safe mode of Windows 98.
In this case, disconnect the USB keyboard from the PC unit, perform some operation of the mouse

(ex. clicking), and reconnect the keyboard (the scroll function is not available in the Safe mode of
Windows 98).

■ Intel® processor serial number

Each Intel Pentium III Processor contains an electrically-readable serial number, which can be
used to improve security, and manage information and assets on the web.

The processor serial number can be read using software application. This read function can be
enabled or disabled using BIOS Setup. By default, the function is “disabled”.

To enable the function, set [Main]-[Processor serial number] of BIOS Setup to [Enabled].
