BOOT SEQUENCE

The procedure for starting-up your notebook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your notebook’s BIOS. When your LifeBook notebook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start up your notebook. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your notebook, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded. During booting, your notebook is performing a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence is completed without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating system’s opening screen.

The boot sequence is executed when:

■

You turn on the power to your LifeBook notebook.

■

You restart your notebook from the Windows Shut Down dialog box.

■

The software initiates a system restart. Example: When you install a new application.

■

You reset the system by pressing the three keys [CTRL+ALT+DEL].

BIOS SETUP UTILITY

Page 35

Power Management

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are automatic and need no user intervention, such as those for the internal modem. However, others depend on the parameters you set to best suit your operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management for your notebook may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, pre-bundled power management application, or from settings made in BIOS setup utility.

Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent your battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your notebook into Suspend mode when it is not performing an operation, and you can limit the use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off between performance and power savings.

POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON

When your LifeBook notebook is active, the Power/ Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put your notebook into Suspend mode. Push the button when your notebook is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. You will hear two short beeps and your system will enter Suspend mode. (See figure 2-3 on page 6 for location)

If your LifeBook notebook is suspended, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button will return your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in Suspend mode by looking at the Power indicator. (See figure 2-3 on page 6) If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernation mode.

SUSPEND MODE

Suspend or Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your LifeBook notebook’s system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode will turn off the CPU, the display, the hard drive, and all of the other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and allow for restarting. Your notebook can be put in Suspend mode by:

■

Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on.

■

Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu.

Getting Started

■

Timing out from lack of activity.

■

Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.

You can change the actions the computer takes when the lid is closed or buttons are pressed by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel. Double-click the Power Options icon and select the Advanced tab.

Your LifeBook notebook’s system memory typically stores the file(s) on which you are working, open application(s) information, and any other data required to support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation from Suspend mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or

your notebook will not resume.

■

If you are running your LifeBook notebook on battery power, be aware that the battery continues to discharge while your notebook is in Suspend mode, though not as fast as when fully operational.

■

Disabling the Power/Suspend/Resume button prevents it from being used to put your LifeBook notebook in Suspend or Hibernation mode. The resume function of the button cannot be disabled.

■

If your LifeBook notebook is actively accessing information when you enter the Suspend or Hibernation mode, changes to open files are not lost. The files are left open and memory is kept active during Suspend mode or the memory is transferred to the internal hard drive during Hibernation mode.

The Suspend or Hibernation mode should not be used with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documentation for more information.

When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Hibernation mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspension, because all of the peripheral devices will be re-initialized when the system restarts.

HIBERNATION FEATURE

The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your LifeBook notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature.

Page 36

DISPLAY TIMEOUT

The Video Timeout is one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer activity will cause the display to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility.

HARD DISK TIMEOUT

The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive activity for the user selected timeout period. Any attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility.

1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.

2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows

Shut Down dialog box.

3. Click OK to restart your notebook. Your notebook

will shut down and then reboot.

Turning off your LifeBook notebook without exiting Windows or turning on your notebook within 10 seconds of the notebook being shut off may cause an error when you start the next time.

POWER OFF

Before turning off the power, check that the Hard Drive, DVD, CD-ROM, CD-RW, PC Card and the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicators are all Off. (See figure 2-3 on page 6) If you turn off the power while accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your notebook shuts down without error, use the

Windows shut down procedure.

Be sure to close all files, exit all applications, and shut down your operating system prior to turning off the power. If files are open when you turn the power off, you will lose any changes that have not been saved, and may cause disk errors.

Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:

1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.

2. Select the Shut Down option from within the

Windows Shut Down dialog box.

3. Click OK to shut down your notebook.

Your LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion battery (and possibly an optional modular battery) that provides power for operating your notebook when no external power source is available. The battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals, or other hazards.

The Lithium ion battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:

■

When used at temperatures that exceed a low of 5°C (41°F) or a high of 35°C (95°F). Extreme temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The charging indicator on the Status Indicator panel will flash red for the affected battery (battery 1 or 2) when you try to charge a battery that is outside of operating temperature range.

(See Battery Charging Indicators on page 12 for more information)

■

When using a high current device such as a modem, DVD/CD-RW drive, or the hard drive, using the AC adapter will conserve your battery life.

Do not leave a faulty battery in your LifeBook notebook. It may damage your AC adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter, another battery or your notebook itself. It may also prevent operation of your notebook by draining all available current into the bad battery.

RECHARGING THE BATTERIES

If you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level 1 indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes. If you want to know the condition of the secondary modular Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level 2 indicator located on the Status Indicator panel.

The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your LifeBook notebook and connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.

Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator and the percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon on the Status Indicator Panel.

Indicators on page 12 for more information)

There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the battery is charging.

If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your notebook into Suspend mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management

on page 27 for more information)

(See Battery Charging

■

Battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, features, power management settings, battery condition and other customer preferences.DVD, CD-RW, CD-ROM, or hard drive usage may also have a significant impact on battery life. The battery charging capacity is reduced as the battery ages. If your battery is running low quickly, you should replace it with a new one.

■

Under federal, state, or local law it may be illegal to dispose of batteries by putting them in the trash. Take care of our environment by disposing of batteries properly. Check with your local government authority for information on recycling or disposing of old batteries. If you cannot find this information elsewhere, contact your support representative at 1-800-8Fujitsu (1-800-838-5487)

Using heavy current devices such as Modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM accesses may prevent charging completely.

Low Battery State

When the battery is running low, a low battery notification message will appear. If you do not respond to the low battery message, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. When this happens, your notebook will go into Suspend mode. There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once the notebook reaches this point

Page 40

LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Section Four

■

Once the low battery notification message appears, you need to save all your active data and put your system into Suspend mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide a charged battery, AC power adapter, or Auto/Airline adapter as soon as possible.

■

When you are in Suspend mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you turn off the power or remove all power sources while your LifeBook notebook is in Suspend mode, any data that has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost.

Battery Release Latches

Figure 2-21 Removing the Battery

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.

In Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the charging indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your notebook while an adapter is charging the battery.

Shorted Batteries

The Status Indicator panel battery charging icons will blink red to indicate a shorted battery or battery problem. This indicates that the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage any other parts of your LifeBook notebook.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not charged.

Swapping Batteries when Additional Power Source is not Available

To swap batteries in your battery bay when you don’t have another power source available (such as an AC Adapter or charged modular battery), follow these easy steps: (Figure 2-21)

4. Remove the battery from the bay.

5. Place the new battery into the bay. (Figure 2-22)

6. Verify that the battery bay latches click into place.

USING THE DVD/CD-RW DRIVE ON BATTERY POWER

Since a DVD/CD-RW drive consumes a lot of power, your overall battery life will be shorter when operating the drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than during standard operation. Many movies run-times are longer than your LifeBook notebook can support on a single battery. If you are watching a DVD movie on battery power you may need to swap in an additional, charged battery or attach AC power during the movie to

view it in its entirety.

■

Prolonged use of the DVD/CD-RW drive, such as when watching a DVD movie, will substantially reduce your notebook’s battery life.

■

An additional fully-charged battery is highly recommended if you will be watching DVD movies on battery power. If you don’t have an additional battery, you may purchase one either on-line at us.fujitsu.com/computers or call 1-877-372-3473.

To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:

1. Have an additional full-charged battery or your AC adapter ready for use.

2. Start watching your DVD movie.

3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately stop the movie and exit the DVD/CD-RW application

7. Resume your notebook by pressing the Suspend button again. This step is not required if you attached AC power without entering suspend mode.

8. Restart your DVD/CD-RW application and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last watching.

9. Continue watching your DVD movie.

Some shorter DVD movies may not require you to swap batteries or attach AC power to complete them. However, it is best to be prepared since actual battery life while operating the DVD/CD-RW drive cannot be guaranteed.

AUTO INSERT NOTIFICATION FUNCTION

The Auto Insert Notification function allows your LifeBook notebook to automatically start a DVD/CD as soon as it is inserted in the DVD/CD-RW drive and the tray is closed. Your notebook will begin playing an audio DVD/ CD or will start an application if the DVD/CD includes an auto run file.

To prevent a CD from playing automatically as soon as it is inserted, refer to the related help file for your specific operating system.

EMERGENCY TRAY RELEASE

In the event that your system does not have power applied, you can still open the media tray using the end of an opened paper clip. To open the tray, insert the paper clip into the emergency tray release hole on the fact of the tray (Figure 4-5). The tray will pop open.

If you do not stop the DVD/CD-RW drive quickly and the LifeBook notebook attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low state) the notebook will shut down improperly. If this occurs, you will need to install a fresh power source (either a charged battery or AC Adapter).

4. Connect an AC Adapter to your system, or install a fully charged battery in the Flexible Bay (after removing any modular devices that may be present in the bay) prior to removing the main battery.

5. Manually place your notebook into suspend mode by depressing the Suspend button and replace the discharged battery with an additional fully-charged battery.

6. If you removed the DVD/CD-ROM drive from the Flexible Bay in step 4, reinstall it now.

The memory upgrade module is not something you routinely remove from your LifeBook notebook. Once it is installed, you should leave it in place unless you want to increase system memory capacity.

CHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITY

Once you have changed the system memory capacity by replacing the installed module with a larger one, be sure to check that your notebook has recognized the change.

Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] -> Settings -> Control Panel, then double-clicking the System icon. Select the General tab and check the amount of memory under “Computer:”.

There may be a variation between the actual memory size and what is displayed. This is due to the fact that your system uses a video graphics chip which dynamically allocates system memory to accelerate graphics performance. Up to 64 MB of memory is dynamically shared on an as-needed basis using Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT).

User Installable Features

If the total memory displayed is incorrect, check that your memory upgrade module is properly installed. (If the module is

properly installed and the capacity is still not correctly recognized, see Troubleshooting on page 67.

Before Using the Wireless LAN

This manual describes the procedures required to properly setup and configure the integrated Wireless LAN Mini-PCI device (referred to as "WLAN device" in the rest of the manual). Before using the WLAN device, read this manual carefully to ensure it's correct operation. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Wireless LAN Devices Covered by this Document

This document is applicable to systems containing one of the following two devices. Most of the procedures are identical. Sections that differ between the two devices have been noted in the text:

■

Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Mini-PCI wireless network card (802.11b/g): Available on LifeBook P7010 notebook model

■

Atheros AR5002x or AR5002g Mini-PCI wireless network card (802.11a + b/g): Available on LifeBook P7010D notebook model

Characteristics of the WLAN Device

■

The WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the mainboard of the mobile computer.

■

It is a dual-band radio that operates in two license-free RF bands, therefore eliminating the need to procure an FCC license to operate. It operates in the 2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band. Additionally, the Atheros device operates in the lower and middle bands of the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) bands.

■

The Atheros WLAN is capable of three operating modes, IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g, wireless LAN standards governed by the IEEE (Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers). The Intel WLAN is capable of two operating modes, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g.

■

Encoding of data is modulated using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code Keying (CCK) when the WLAN device is operating in IEEE 802.11b mode and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) when operating in IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode.

■

The WLAN device is Wi-Fi certified and operates at the maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps in IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode and 11 Mbps in IEEE802.11b mode.

■

The maximum communication range indoors is approximately 80 feet (25 meters). However, that range will increase or decrease depending on factors such as number of walls, reflective material, or interference from external RF sources.

■

The WLAN device supports the following encryption methods - WEP, TKIP, and AES encryption.

WIRELESS LAN MODES USING THIS DEVICE

Ad Hoc Mode

(See Figure 5-1)

"Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. That is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers.

Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authentication, and encryption key settings are identically configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.

Figure 5-1. Ad Hoc Mode Network

Page 59

WIreless LAN User’s Guide

Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode

(See Figure 5-2)

Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network architecture in which devices communicate with wireless or wired network devices by communicating through an Access Point. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or can communicate with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to access computers, devices, and services such as file servers, printers, and databases.

How to Handle This Device

The WLAN device comes pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The Operating System that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.

WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS

■

The Intel WLAN device is a dual-mode wireless network card (supports IEEE802.11b/g); the Atheros device supports IEEE802.11a + b/g.

■

The Intel WLAN device operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band; the Atheros WLAN device also operates in the 5 GHz lower and middle UNII bands.

■

The maximum range of the WLAN device indoors is typically 80 feet (25 meters). Please note that the maximum range you achieve may be shorter or longer than

80 feet, depending on factors such as access point transmit power, number and density of obstructions, or external RF interference.

■

Microwave ovens will interfere with the operation of WLAN device as microwave ovens operate in the same

2.4GHz frequency range that IEEE802.11b/g devices operate in. Interference by microwaves does not occur with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band.

■

Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4GHz frequency range may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects, and large amounts of frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure the proper operation of the WLAN device.

DEACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICE

Deactivation of the WLAN device may be desired in certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics, airplanes, etc.). Fujitsu mobile computers employ two methods with which to deactivate the WLAN device, 1) the Wireless On/Off Switch and 2) in Windows using the Intel PROSet Software or Atheros Client Utility software.

Deactivation using the Wireless On/Off Switch

The WLAN device can be deactivated quickly and efficiently by toggling the Wireless On/Off Switch to the Off position. (Figure 5-3)

Troubleshooting

Causes and countermeasures for troubles you may encounter while using your wireless LAN are described in the following table.

Problem Possible Cause Possible Solution

Unavailable network connection

Incorrect network name (SSID) or network key

Weak received signal strength and/or link quality

The WLAN device has been deactivated or disabled

The computer to be connected is turned off

RF interference from Access Points or other wireless networks

Ad hoc connection: verify that the network names (SSID’s) and network

keys (WEP) of all computers to be connected have been configured correctly. SSID’s and WEP key values must be identical on each machine.

Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: set the network name (SSID) and network key to the same values as those of the access point.

Set the Network Authentication value identically to that of the Access Point. Please consult your network administrator for this value, if necessary.

For the method of setting network authentication, refer to the following page:·”Assigning parameters” on page 54·

Ad hoc connection: Retry connection after shortening the distance to the destination computer or removing any obstacles for better sight.

Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: Retry connection after shortening the distance to the access point or removing any obstacles for better sight.

To check the wave condition, refer to the following page:· “Confirming the status of the radio waves” on page 59.

Check if the wireless switch is turned ON. Also verify “Disable Radio” is not checked in “Network setting” window. Refer to “Starting Transmission” on page 52.

Check if the computer to be connected is turned ON.

The use of identical or overlapping RF channels can cause interference with the operation of the WLAN device. Change the channel of your Access Point to a channel that does not overlap with the interfering device.

Wireless network authentication has failed

Incorrectly configured network settings

Incorrect IP address configuration

Re-check your Network Authentication, Encryption, and Security settings. Incorrectly configured security settings such as an incorrectly typed WEP key, a mis-configured LEAP username, or an incorrectly chosen authentication method will cause the LAN device to associate but not authenticate to the wireless network.

Recheck the configuration of your network settings.

For the method of checking, refer to the following page:·“Connection to the Network” on page 57.

This only applies to networks using static IP addresses. Please contact your network administrator for the correct settings.

Page 69

Wireless LAN Glossary

WIreless LAN User’s Guide

Ad Hoc Mode

Ad Hoc Mode refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Points. Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. For details, refer to “Ad hoc connection” on page 50.

Channel

Range of narrow-band frequencies used by the WLAN device to transmit data. IEEE802.11b/g - 11 channels, 22 MHz wide channels.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate IP addresses to computers on a local area network.

DNS (Domain Name System)

A data query service that provides a mechanism with which to translate host names into Internet addresses.

IEEE802.11a

Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data rate of 54 Mbps. 802.11a devices operate in the 5 GHz lower and middle UNII bands.

IEEE802.11b

Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data rate of 11 Mbps. 802.11b devices operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.

Access point

Wireless network device used to bridge wireless and wired network traffic.

IP address

The logical 32-bit host address defined by the Internet Protocol that uniquely identifies a computer on a network. The IP address is usually expressed in dotted decimal notation.

LAN (Local Area Network)

A LAN or Local Area Network is a computer network (or data communications network) which is confined to a limited geographical area.

MAC address (Media Access Control Address)

A MAC address (also called an Ethernet address or IEEE MAC address) is the 48-bit address (typically written as twelve hexadecimal digits, 0 through 9 and A through F, or as six hexadecimal numbers separated by periods or colons, e.g., 0080002012ef, 0:80:0:2:20:ef) which uniquely identifies a computer that has an Ethernet interface.

MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)

The maximum size of data which can be transmitted at one time in networks including the Internet. In an environment whose maximum size of data is too large to correctly receive data, normal communications can be restored by setting the size of MTU to a smaller value.

Network key

Data that is used for encrypting data in data communication. The personal computer uses the same network key both for data encryption and decryption, therefore, it is necessary to set the same network key as the other side of communication.

Network name (SSID: Security Set Identifier)

When a wireless LAN network is configured, grouping is performed to avoid interference or data theft. This grouping is performed with “Network name (SSID)”. In order to improve security, the network key is set allowing no communication unless “Network name (SSID)” coincides with the network key.

Open system authentication

Null authentication method specified in the 802.11 standard that performs no authentication checks on a wireless client before allowing it to associate.

PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)

A method of allowing the authentication protocol adopted in telephone line connection (PPP) to be used over an Ethernet.

Protocol

A procedure or rule of delivering data among computers. Ordered data communication is allowed by making all conditions required for communication including the method of data transmission/reception and actions upon communication errors into procedures.

Page 70

LifeBook P7000 Series Notebook - Section Five

Shared key authentication

802.11 network authentication method in which the AP

sends the client device a challenge text packet that the client must then encrypt with the correct WEP key and return to the AP. If the client has the wrong key or no key, authentication will fail and the client will not be allowed to associate with the AP. Shared key authentication is not considered secure, because a hacker who detects both the clear-text challenge and the same challenge encrypted with a WEP key can decipher the WEP key.

SSID (Service Set Identifier)

Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. Because the SSID is broadcast in plain text, it does not supply any security to the network.

Subnet mask

TCP-IP network is controlled by being divided into multiple smaller networks (subnets). IP address consists of the subnet address and the address of each computer. Subnet mask defines how many bits of IP address comprise the subnet address. The same value shall be set among computers communicating with each other.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)

A standard protocol of the Internet.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, is a set of standards for wireless local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE

802.11 specifications. Certified products can use the

official Wi-Fi logo, which indicates that the product is interoperable with any other product also showing that logo.

Page 71

IP address information

IP addressing is much more complicated than can be briefly explained in this document. You are advised to consult with your network administrator for additional information.

If IP address is unknown, set IP address as follows:

If you have an access point (DHCP server) on the network, set the IP address as follows:

[Obtain an IP address automatically]

A DHCP server is a server that automatically assigns IP addresses to computers or other devices in the network. There is no DHCP server for the AdHoc network.

If the IP address is already assigned to the computer in the network, ask the network administrator to check the IP address to be set for the computer.

If no access point is found in the network:

An IP address is expressed with four values in the range between 1 and 255.

Set the each computer as follows: The value in parentheses is a subnet mask.

If it is properly installed, you may want to check your Windows Setup to be sure it is not using unavailable memory until you can contact your support representative.

nnnn Extended RAM Passed

Where nnnn is the amount of memory in kilobytes successfully tested.

*Failing Bits: nnnn The hex number nnnn

This is a map of the bits at the memory address (in System, Extended, or Shadow memory) which failed the memory test. Each 1 (one) in the map indicates a failed bit. This is a serious fault that may cause you to lose data if you continue. Contact your support representative.

*Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk Controller Failure (where x = 1-4)

The fixed disk is not working or not configured properly. This may mean that the hard drive type identified in your setup utility does not agree with the type detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to check for the hard drive type settings and correct them if necessary. If the settings are OK and the message appears when you restart the system, there may be a serious fault which might cause you to lose data if you continue. Contact your support representative.

*Incorrect Drive A type – run SETUP

Type of floppy drive A: not correctly identified in Setup. This means that the floppy disk drive type identified in

your setup utility does not agree with the type detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to correct the inconsistency.

Troubleshooting

Restoring Your Pre-installed Software

If your system was delivered with Windows 2000 as the operating system, the Windows 2000 image is on the D: partition, but the Restore Disc contains Windows XP. If you decide to restore your

system from the Restore Disc, you will overwrite Windows 2000 with the Windows XP operating system.

The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) CD contains:

■

Sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific directories) that are unique to your LifeBook notebook configuration for use as documented below.

■

A link to the Drive Image Special Edition (DISE) utility on your hard disk drive.

■

Read-me files that provide additional use information for items on this CD-ROM.

If the DAR CD is in the drive when you boot up the system, a message will appear telling you that continuing to boot from the CD will overwrite all information on the hard drive, including saved files, and restore the drive to factory configuration. If you wish to install drivers or applications only from the CD, remove the disk from the drive, reboot the system, and insert the CD after Windows has started.

If you have access to the internet, visit the Fujitsu Support web site at us.fujitsu.com/ computers to check for the most current information, drivers and hints on how to perform recovery and system updates.

DRIVE IMAGE SPECIAL EDITION (DISE)

PowerQuest Drive Image Special Edition (DISE) provides a way to restore your computer if you experience a hard disk crash or other system failure. Fujitsu has used DISE to create an image of everything installed on the computer at the time you purchased it. The image is saved on a separate partition on the hard disk. You can use DISE to restore the factory image and return your computer to the state in which it was shipped from Fujitsu.

Although it is not necessary, you can use DISE to store additional image files that you create. For example, if you install several applications and save data files on your hard disk, you can create a new image file that includes them and then save that image file on the hard

disk. Then, in the event of a hard disk failure, you can restore the image that includes the applications and data files you use.

Using the DISE feature will reduce the amount of usable disk space on your hard disk drive.

Creating a Backup Image

You can create a backup image of your C:\ drive at any time. The C:\ partition must be a FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition, and it must be directly before the backup partition on your hard disk.

There are two ways to implement the DISE utility: When booting up the system, or from the desktop.

Creating a backup image when booting up

Before creating a backup image at boot-up, you must first change the boot-up priority in the BIOS so that the system will go to the CD drive first, rather than trying to boot-up from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive.

To change the boot-up priority:

1. Start your system and press the [F2] key when the Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup Utility.

2. Using the arrow keys, go to the Boot menu.

3. Arrow down to the Boot Device Priority submenu and press [Enter].

4. Arrow down to the CD-ROM drive in the list, and press the space bar (or the + key) to move the CDROM drive to the top of the list. (The system attempts to boot from the devices in the order in which they are listed.)

5. Press [F10], then click on [Yes] to exit the BIOS Setup Utility and return to the boot process.

After you have changed the boot priority, you can create a backup image when you are booting up:

1. Install the DAR CD in the drive prior to booting up. When bootup begins, a message will appear informing you that continuing to boot from the CD will overwrite all information on the hard drive, including saved files, and restore the hard drive to its factory configuration.

2. When you are asked if you want to restore the factory image, click [Y]es.

Creating a backup image from the desktop

To create a backup image from the desktop, select Drive Image SE from the Program list. You will initially be prompted to create a backup diskette. It is not necessary to create the backup diskette, since the DAR CD performs the same function.

Page 86

LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Section Six

1. At the Drive Image Special Edition main screen,

click Options> Create New Backup. DISE displays a warning that it must go to DOS to create the image.

3. Click Ye s .

DISE creates an image file in the backup partition. If you created a backup image previously, the new image overwrites the old one.

Enlarging the Backup Partition

If there is not enough unused space in the backup partition on your hard disk, DISE will resize the partition. DISE will display the minimum, maximum, and recommended sizes for the backup partition. You choose the size you want.

DISE takes the space from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition that you are backing up. If there is not enough unused space in that partition to take, you will not be able to resize the backup partition and create an image file. You can delete files from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition to create more unused space on the hard disk.

Restoring a Backup Image

You can restore either a factory image or a backup image you created. Be aware that restoring a backup image will replace the contents of the C:\ partition with the image you restore.

1. Disable virus protection software. If virus protection software is enabled, DISE will hang.

2. From the DISE main window, click Options > Restore Backup to restore an image you created, or click Options > Restore Factory Backup to restore the factory image.

DISE shuts down to DOS and restores the image file.

Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications

The Drivers and Application CD can be used to selectively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have been un-installed or corrupted.

To re-install drivers and/or applications:

1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR CD after Windows has started. The LifeBook Easy Installation screen appears.

2. Click the application or driver that you want to install from the list that appears. (Before installing the Fujitsu HotKey utility, see “Installing Fujitsu HotKey” below.)

3. Click [Install] and follow the instructions that appear.

Before Re-Installing Fujitsu HotKey

Prior to installing the Fujitsu HotKey utility, you must first install the FUJ02B1 LCD Control Driver as follows.

1. Click Start -> Control Panel.

2. Click on "Printers and Other Hardware".

3. In the left frame, click on "System".

4. Click the Hardware tab, then click [Device Manager].

5. Click the “+” sign next to “Other Devices” so that you can see the “Unknown Device” icon.

6. Double-click “Unknown Devices” and select the Driver tab.

7. Click [Update Driver].

8. Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)". Click [Next].

9. Select "Search for the best driver in these locations" and remove the check from "Search removable media (floppy, CD-ROM...)".

10. Select "Include this location in the search".

11. Enter "E:\Utilities\HotKey" in the text box.

12. Click [Next].

13. Select "Fujitsu FUJ02B1 Device Driver" and click [Finish].

14. Close the "Fujitsu FUJ02B1" driver property.

15. Close the "Device Manager".

16. Close "System Properties".

AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADING DRIVER UPDATES

Your system has a convenient tool called the Fujitsu Driver Update (FDU) utility. With FDU, you can choose to automatically or manually go to the Fujitsu site to check for new updates for your system.

The FDU icon should appear in the system tray at the bottom right of your screen (roll the cursor over the icons to find the correct one). If the FDU icon does not appear in the system tray, it can be started by going to [Start] -> All Programs, and clicking on Fujitsu Driver Update; this will create the icon automatically.

To invoke the FDU menu, you can either right-click on the FDU icon or hold the pen on the icon for a couple of seconds until the menu appears. The menu contains the following items:

■

Check for updates now

Allows for manual driver update search. The first time it is used, you are prompted to agree to a user agreement. After clicking on the icon, the FDU automatically connects with the Fujitsu site to check for updates and downloads them. While downloading, the icon has a red bar through it, indicating that it cannot be used while the download is in process. When the update is complete, a message appears informing you of the fact.

■

Enable Automatic Update Notifications

Care and Maintenance

MEDIA CARE

Caring for your Media (DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM)

Media discs are precision devices and will function reliably if given reasonable care.

■

Always store your media disc in its case when it is not in use.

■

Always handle discs by the edges and avoid touching the surface.

■

Avoid storing any media discs in extreme temperatures.

■

Do not bend media discs or set heavy objects on them.

■

Do not spill liquids on media discs.

■

Do not scratch media discs.

■

Do not get dust on media discs.

■

Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen or pencil. Always use a felt pen.

■

If a media disc is subjected to a sudden change in temperature, cold to warm condensation may form on the surface. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint free cloth and let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT use a hair dryer or heater to dry media discs.

■

If a disc is dirty, use only a DVD/CD cleaner or wipe it with a clean, soft, lint free cloth starting from the inner edge and wiping to the outer edge.
