BOOT SEQUENCE

The procedure for starting up your notebook is called 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). If the 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.

LifeBook S2000 Notebook

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 Power/ Suspend/Resume 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 2-4 on

page 6 for location)

If your LifeBook is suspended, pushing the Power/ Suspend/Resume button returns your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether the system is Suspended by looking at the Power indicator. (See figure 2-4 on page 6) If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is visible and flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If the indicator is not visible, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernation mode. (See Hibernation Feature)

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.

■

Timing out from lack of activity.

■

Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.

Your notebook’s system memory typically stores the file on which you are working, open application information, and any other data required to support operations 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 (Save-to-Disk) mode. The resume function of the button cannot be disabled.

■

The Suspend or Hibernation (Save-toDisk) 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 (Save-to-Disk) mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspension, because all of the peripheral devices will be re-initialized when the system restarts.

■

If your LifeBook notebook is actively accessing information when you enter the Suspend or Hibernation (Save-toDisk) 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 main advantage of using the Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) function is that power is not required to maintain your data. This is particularly important if you will be leaving your LifeBook notebook in a suspended state for a prolonged period of time. The drawback of using Hibernation mode is that it lengthens the power down and power up sequences and resets peripheral devices.

Getting Started

HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) FEATURE

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

For example, you can use the Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters.

RESTARTING THE SYSTEM

If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure.

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/ optical drive access indicator is off. (See figure 2-3 on page 6) If you turn off the power while accessing a disk 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.

LifeBook S2000 Notebook

User-Installable Features

LifeBook S2000 Notebook

User-Installable Features

Lithium ion Battery

Your LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion 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 exceeds a low of 5°C or a high of 35°C. Extreme temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range.

(See Hard Drive/Optical Disk Drive Access Indicator on page 13 for more information)

■

When using a high current device such as a modem, Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer, DVD/CD-RW combo 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 indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.

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.

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 30 for more information on Suspend mode and shutdown procedure)

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

■

Actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, features, power management settings, battery condition and other customer preferences. Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer, DVD/CD-RW drive combo drive, 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. Please take care of our environment and dispose of batteries properly. Check with your local government authority for details regarding recycling or disposing of old batteries. If you cannot find this information elsewhere, contact your support representative at 1-800-8FUJITSU (1-800838-5487)

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.

■

Once the low battery notification message appears, you need to save all your active data and put your LifeBook notebook into Suspend mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide a charged battery, an 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 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.

LifeBook S2000 Notebook

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 Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power 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 uses a symbol inside the battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display the operating level available in that battery. (See Figure 2-9 on page 12) If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it means that the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage any other parts of your 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. There are two ways to swap batteries, coldswapping and hot-swapping:

Cold-swapping Batteries

To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1)

USING OPTICAL DRIVE ON BATTERY POWER

Since optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall battery life will be significantly shorter when operating the drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than during standard operation. Many movie run-times are longer than your LifeBook notebook can support on a single charged 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.

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

6. Restart your optical drive, locate and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last watching.

7. 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 media player cannot be guaranteed.

An additional fully-charged battery is recommended if you will be watching DVD movies on battery power. If you don’t have an additional battery, you may purchase one either online at http://www.computers.us.fujitsu.com or by calling 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 media player

If you do not stop the optical 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 perform a hard reset and follow any instructions presented before the system will reboot.

4. Power down your LifeBook notebook and replace the discharged battery with an additional fullycharged battery. If you do not have an additional battery, you should attach AC power as soon as you see the low battery warning.
