Introduction
Your CELSIUS Mobile H is a versatile and ergonomic workstation. Innovative technology and ergonomic design make your CELSIUS Mobile H user-friendly and reliable.
To simplify the initial start-up of your workstation, one or two operating systems are preinstalled on the hard disk (dual-installation). If two operating systems are preinstalled, you can select which of the two operating systems you want to install during initial start-up.
The energy-saving processor and the energy-saving functions that can be configured allow you to make the most effective use of the battery capacity.
Your
WORKSTATION has 128 -1024 Mbyte of main memory installed, depending on the upgrade level.
Data is stored on a hard disk drive. Your workstation is also equipped with a 3 1/2-inch disk drive. Your workstation is shipped with a combo drive (CD-RW/DVD). A PC card slot (CardBus or PCMCIA) enables the device to operate two type II PC cards or one type III PC card. Depending on the variant, your workstation may be equipped with an internal mini-PCI board.
Your workstation has connectors for external devices such as an external monitor, a printer, and a mouse. The ECP capable parallel port is designed for fast bi-directional data transfer. You can connect peripheral devices such as a scanner, loudspeakers, gamepads, keyboard, or mouse via the two USB ports. A video output lets you connect a television or video device.
For convenient operation your workstation is equipped with a removable radio keyboard. For mouse control, the radio keyboard has a touchpad with touchpad buttons.
An audio controller, two built in loudspeakers, and a built in microphone provide your workstation with audio functionality. You can thus incorporate voice, noise effects and music into your workstation environment. You can also connect an external microphone and an external loudspeaker. Furthermore a digital audio output (SPDIF) is provided.
The system settings of the workstation can be configured via the user-friendly BIOS Setup programme. Certain system settings (e.g. screen display, energy saving functions) can be modified via various key combinations while you are using the workstation.
Your workstation has a number of security features to ensure that no unauthorised persons can access your data. For example, you can activate a screen saver with password protection. The security functions in the BIOS Setup also allow you to protect your data by means of passwords.
This Operating Manual tells you how to put your workstation into operation and how to operate it in daily use.

Information on LCD monitor
High-quality TFT monitors are installed in CELSIUS Mobile H workstations from Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH. The specification of the monitor resolution indicates how many pixels can be displayed. For example, "UXGA" stands for 1600 x 1200 pixels. Each pixel consists of three so­called subpixels of the colours red, green and blue. As a result, a UXGA monitor consists of 1600 x 1200 x 3 = 5.760.000 subpixels.
The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free monitor. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. To ensure the highest possible quality, Fujitsu Siemens Computers uses only monitors that at least comply with the standard DIN ISO 13406-2 (Class III).
TFT monitors are operated with background lighting. The luminosity of the background lighting can decrease during the period of use of the monitor. The brightness of your monitor can be set individually with the brightness control keys of the keyboard.

Battery
The battery is one of the most important components of your workstation. When not plugged into a mains outlet, the workstation runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the life of the battery by caring for the battery properly. The average battery life is around 500 charge/discharge cycles. You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.
You should use only batteries identified by the number P/N S26391-F300-V210. Only these batteries are released for use with your workstation.
!
Take care not to drop the batteries or otherwise damage their casing (fire risk). If the rechargeable batteries are defective, they must not be used. Do not touch the contacts of the batteries. Never interconnect the positive and negative terminals of a battery. Used batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations (special waste). Observe the information on battery storage in the chapter "Important notes".
Performing the battery learning cycle
The battery contains electronics that continuously monitor the battery charging level and display the current charging level. To compensate for measuring errors in the electronics, and because the chemical properties of the battery change over time, the electronics must be recalibrated regularly. This calibration is carried out using a battery learning cycle. Using the battery learning cycle ensures that the maximum battery capacity can always be used. During the learning cycle a defined charging cycle is carried out.
The battery learning cycle lasts between four and six hours and must not be aborted. During this period you can not work with the workstation!

Ê Restart the workstation (switching On/Off or warm boot).
The following display briefly appears on the screen during start-up:

Working with the workstation
Charging the battery
The battery indicator displays the remaining battery charge (see the chapter "Indicators on the workstation"). When you switch on the workstation, it takes a few seconds before the battery status is displayed.
You can charge the battery by connecting the workstation to the power adapter (see "Connecting the power adapter and switching on the workstation for the first time").
The battery can only be charged when the ambient temperature is between 5°C and max. 35°C. With the workstation switched on and off, the battery will completely recharge in approximately three
to four hours. Work in the battery mode until an acoustic warning prompts you to recharge and the battery
indicator begins to flash. The workstation battery should not be charged before this point. If you do not connect the power adapter within five minutes of the signals described above, your
workstation automatically switches itself off.
Monitoring the battery charging level
The remaining battery charge is indicated by the battery symbol in the status indicator panel (see the chapter "Indicators on the workstation"). When you switch on the workstation, it takes a few seconds before the battery status is displayed.
During mobile operation you can also use a "battery charge meter" for energy-saving monitoring under Windows. A battery icon is shown in the taskbar. When you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status.
You can also see the battery's charging state on the battery itself.

Using the power-management features
The workstation uses less power when the power management features are enabled. You will then be able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it.
If you are connected to a network or use the integrated modem, PC LAN card, or PC modem card, we advise against enabling an energy saving mode. This could lead to an
i
interruption of your network connection. When not using the workstation for long periods of time, first end the energy saving mode,
then switch off the workstation. Never switch off the workstation with the Suspend/Resume button while the workstation is in one of the energy-saving modes.
If your workstation is in an energy-saving mode:
Do not connect any external devices.
Do not disconnect any external peripheral devices.
Do not attempt to switch the workstation on if the built-in battery is flat.
Do not change or remove the floppy disk, if inserted.
Do not add or remove RAM.
Do not add or remove a PC card.
Do not replace or remove the battery.
Energy-saving modes of workstation
You can set two energy-saving modes with your workstation. In the Suspend mode (Suspend to DRAM/Standby) all current data (active programmes, files) are
buffered in the main memory, and in the Save-to-Disk mode (Save to Disk/HibernateMode) all current data are saved on the hard disk. Then the workstation is switched off. After the workstation is switched on, you can continue working exactly where you left off before.
Operating systems with ACPI (Windows 2000 and Windows XP)
For operating systems with ACPI you can set the energy-saving functions under Settings -

Security functions
Your workstation enables you to protect your system and personal data against unauthorised access in a number of ways. By combining these options, you can achieve maximum protection for your system.
In this chapter you will learn which security functions your workstation is equipped with, which advantages these functions offer you and how to configure and use them.
Passwords must be assigned for some security functions. Please be sure to note these passwords, as otherwise you will no longer be able to access your system.
!
We recommend that you make a note of the passwords and keep them in a safe place. If you lose both the user and the supervisor passwords, you must contact our Help Desk.
The phone numbers can be found in the "Safety" manual. The loss of passwords is not a warranty case and is therefore subject to charge.
Overview of all security functions
The following sections contain a brief description of the security functions that are provided with your workstation as standard equipment.
Kensington Lock
With the Kensington MicroSaver, a sturdy steel cable, you can protect your workstation from theft. For this reason your workstation is equipped with a device for the Kensington MicroSaver. The Kensington MicroSaver is available as an accessory.
Password protection
You can protect you personal data from unauthorised access with various passwords. By combining these different options, you can achieve maximum protection for your system.
Password protection for the BIOS Setup
With the Supervisor password you prevent unauthorised opening of the BIOS Setup, and with it access to important system settings. In the BIOS Setup you can also activate protection for the operating system and your hard disk.
Password protection for the operating system
With corresponding settings in the BIOS Setup you can block starting of the operating system. Only those who know the supervisor or user password can access the system.
Password protection for your hard disk
By activating the hard disk protection in the BIOS Setup you prevent unauthorised access to the hard disk drive. The hard disk password is checked internally during each system start-up and ensures that the hard disk can only be used in conjunction with the related device.
A26391-K124-Z100-1-7619 49
Security functions
SmartCard reader
Your workstation also allows operation of a SmartCard via the SmartCard slot. The SmartCard can be used as a particularly secure alternative or as an addition to password protection. SmartCards are just as useful for digital signatures or for encrypting e-mails.
You can also read out other cards with your SmartCard reader (e.g. cell phone cards, health insurance cards, bank cards). For this purpose you also require the software matched to the respective card.
Fingerprint sensor
Your workstation is equipped with a fingerprint sensor. You can use the fingerprint sensor as an alternative to the BIOS password as system protection. By the way you can use the fingerprint­sensor under any operating system.

Configuring and using SmartCard reader
Your workstation is equipped with a SmartCard slot and a special chip to read your SmartCards.
SmartCards
SmartCards are not supplied as standard equipment. You can use all SmartCards that comply with ISO Standard 7816-1, -2, -3 or -4 and are PC SC-compatible. These SmartCards are available from various manufacturers. Under Windows 2000 or Windows XP we recommend the SICRYPT card, as the drivers for this SmartCard are already preinstalled under Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
With the appropriate software you can use your SmartCard as an alternative to password protection, but also as a digital signature or for encrypting your e-mails.
With the security software Smarty (available as an accessory) you can assign a password to your SmartCard. This enables you to safely log on to the operating system under Windows 2000 and under Windows XP.
We recommend that you always use two SmartCards. Always keep one of the SmartCards in a safe place if you carry the other SmartCard with you.
The SmartCard can only be used with a PIN so protection is maintained even when the SmartCard is lost. After the incorrect PIN is entered three times, the card is blocked.
i
The first time you use your SmartCard you must enter the preset PIN provided by the SmartCard manufacturer or your system administrator.
54 A26391-K124-Z100-1-7619
Security functions
Inserting the SmartCard
Ê Push the SmartCard into the lower slot guide with the chip facing upward and at the front. Ê Gently push the SmartCard into the slot until you feel it click into place.
Never use force when inserting and removing the SmartCard holder and SmartCard.
!
Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the SmartCard holder.
Application examples
SmartCard as device protection
After switching on the workstation and inserting the SmartCard you are asked to enter your PIN. Upon correct entry the SmartCard is checked and the operating system is booted.
The SmartCard remains in the SmartCard holder during the entire work session.
When the Smarty software (accessory) is used, a password is stored on the SmartCard. This password needs only be entered during the initial setup and in the case of password
i
changes. As a result, a long cryptic character sequence can be used as password which offers greater security than a simple password.
In Smarty you can specify how the user is to log on to the operating system:
only with SmartCard and PIN
either with SmartCard and PIN or with password entry
To install, configure and use Smarty, please see the documentation and online help on the CD for the Smarty software.
A26391-K124-Z100-1-7619 55
Security functions
SmartCard for protecting your opened documents
The range of functions of the SmartCard enables you to interrupt your work. Thanks to the SmartCard, you can leave your workstation unattended without unauthorised persons being able to access your opened documents and data.
Ê Pull the SmartCard out of the workstation during your work session.
A window appears stating that the system is locked.
Ê When you want to continue your work, insert the SmartCard and enter your PIN.
You return to your opened documents.
SmartCard for creating user profiles
With the Smarty software you can assign individual rights for different users within a network with the same basic installation under Windows 2000 and Windows XP. You save these individual user profiles on the SmartCards of the individual users with Smarty. As a result, each user finds his/her individual configuration at any workstation within the network simply by inserting his/her SmartCard.
Please see the documentation and the online help on the CD for the Smarty software for instructions on how to create the personal user profiles.
Using SmartCard for digital signatures
In place of credit card numbers or a bank connection, many e-commerce suppliers also accept SmartCards for concluding sales contracts. Observe the corresponding information at the websites you visit. A prerequisite for this is Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
Using SmartCard for e-mail encryption
To encrypt your e-mails using your SmartCard under Windows 2000/Windows XP you require an e­mail program that permits SmartCard encryption.
Using SmartCard for online banking
To use the security function of the SmartCard for homebanking, first you need an account at a bank that supports homebanking according to the standard HBCI (Homebanking Computer Interface). In addition, you also require a homebanking program.
Configuring and using fingerprint sensor
The fingerprint sensor is not activated by default. You can decide for yourself, whether you log on to the system by entering a password (see chapter "Configuring password protection in BIOS Setup") or with your fingerprint.
Activating fingerprint sensor
Ê Call BIOS Setup and select the Security menu.
