*Diskette drive A error or Diskette drive B error
Drive A: or B: is present but fails the BIOS Power On Self Test diskette tests. Check to see that the drive is defined with the proper diskette type in the Setup Utility, (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more information) and that the diskette drive is installed correctly. If the disk drive is properly defined and installed, avoid using it and contact your support representative.
*Extended RAM Failed at offset: nnnn
Extended memory not working or not configured prop­erly. If you have an installed memory upgrade module, verify that the module is properly installed. 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.

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 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. 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
66
S Series.book Page 67 Thursday, February 12, 2004 4:15 PM
Troubleshooting
to create the backup diskette, since the DAR CD performs the same function.
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.

Care and Maintenance
Care and Maintenance
If you use your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook carefully, you will increase its life and reliability. This section provides
some tips for looking after the notebook and its devices.
Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Operations of this product or simi­lar products, must always be supervised by an adult. Do not allow children access to the interior of any electrical products and do not permit them to handle any cables.
Caring for your LifeBook notebook
Your LifeBook notebook is a durable but sensitive elec­tronic device. Treat it with respect and care.
Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable carrying case.
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow installation instructions closely.
Keep it away from food and beverages.
If you accidentally spill liquid on your LifeBook note­book:
1. Turn it off.
2. Position it so that the liquid can run out.
3. Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed.
4. If your notebook will not boot after it has dried out, call your support representative.
Do not use your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook in a wet environment (near a bathtub, swimming pool).
Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for your notebook.
Avoid exposure to sand, dust and other environmental hazards.
Do not expose your notebook to direct sunlight for long periods of time as temperatures above 140° F (60° C) may damage your notebook.
Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots when they are not in use.
Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer.
If you are carrying your LifeBook notebook in a brief­case, or any other carrying case, make sure that there are no objects in the case pressing on the lid.
Never position your notebook such that the optical drive is supporting the weight of the notebook.
Do not drop your notebook.
Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects.
Cleaning your LifeBook notebook
Always disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not the cord.)
Clean your LifeBook notebook with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
Use a soft cloth to remove dust from the screen. Never use glass cleaners.
Storing your LifeBook notebook
If storing your notebook for a month or longer, turn your LifeBook notebook off, fully charge the battery(s), then remove and store all Lithium ion batter­ies.
Store your notebook and batteries separately. If you store your LifeBook with a battery installed, the battery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In addi­tion, a faulty battery might damage your LifeBook.
Store your Fujitsu LifeBook in a cool, dry location. Temperatures should remain between 13ºF (-25ºC) and 140ºF (60ºC).
Traveling with your LifeBook notebook
Do not transport your notebook while it is turned on.
It is recommended that you carry your notebook with you while travelling, rather than checking it in as bag­gage.
Always bring your System Recovery CD that came with your notebook when you travel. If you experience sys­tem software problems while traveling, you may need it to correct any problems.
Never put your notebook through a metal detector. Have your notebook hand-inspected by security per­sonnel. You can however, put your notebook through a properly tuned X-ray machine. To avoid problems, place your notebook close to the entrance of the machine and remove it as soon as possible or have your notebook hand-inspected by security personnel. Secu­rity officials may require you to turn your notebook On. Make sure you have a charged battery on hand.
When traveling with the hard drive removed, wrap the drive in a non-conducting materials (cloth or paper). If you have the drive checked by hand, be ready to install the drive if needed. Never put your hard drive through a metal detector. Have your hard drive hand-inspected by security personnel. You can however, put your hard drive through a properly tuned X-ray machine.
Take the necessary plug adapters if you're traveling over­seas. Check the following diagram to determine which plug adapter you'll need or ask your travel agent.

Before Using the Wireless LAN
The Integrated Wireless LAN is an optional device avail­able for Fujitsu mobile computers. This manual describes the basic operating procedures for the Wireless LAN (referred to as the “device” in this manual) and how to set up a wireless LAN network. Before using this device, read this manual carefully to ensure correct oper­ation of the device. Keep this manual in a safe place for reference while using the device.
Types of Wireless LANs 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 PROSet Wireless LAN
Atheros Wireless LAN
If your system is a Stylistic S7010, your wireless module is the Intel PROSet wireless LAN; if your system is a Stylistic S7010D, your wireless module is the Atheros wireless LAN;
Characteristics of the Device
This device consists of a wireless LAN card that is attached inside the computer via a mini-PCI slot.
The main characteristics are as follows:
It operates in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band; additionally, the Atheros wireless LAN operates in the 5 GHz RF band.
It does not require an FCC license to operate.
It uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), an RF modulation scheme that is resistant to noise.
This wireless module is Wi-Fi compliant. The module
can communicate at a maximum data rate of 54 Mbps.
The maximum communication range is approxi-
mately 80 feet (25 meters) inside a building. Please
note that the range you achieve may be shorter or
longer than 80 feet, depending upon factors such as
obstructions, walls, columns, construction material,
and reflective objects.
The wireless module s support a number of industry-
standard security mechanisms, including WEP, TKIP,
and 802.1x/EAP (LEAP, TLS, PEAP, MD5).
Wireless LAN Modes Using this Device
Ad Hoc Mode (See Figure 1)
“Ad Hoc Mode” refers to a type of wireless network that involves connecting multiple computers without the use of an Access Point. Network connectivity between computers can be established using only wireless LAN cards in a peer-to-peer fashion.
Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers.
In the Ad Hoc mode, you can use the function supported by Microsoft Network, such as File and Print Sharing to exchange files and share a printer or other peripheral devices.
To use Ad Hoc Mode, you must set the same SSID and the same encryption key for all the computers that are connected. Communication between computers in an Ad Hoc network will occur provided they are within each other’s RF coverage area.

Access Point*
Wireless LAN
Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode (See Figure 2)
If a number of computers are connected simultaneously in the Ad Hoc mode, the transfer rate may be reduced, communications may become unstable, or the network connection could fail. This is because all wireless LAN cards are using the same radio frequency in the network.
To improve this situation, you can use a wireless LAN access point, which is sold separately. The wireless LAN network is in the “Access Point mode” when it uses an access point, and such a connection is called the “Access Point Network” or “Infrastructure Network”.
By using an access point, you can set and use a different communication channel for each network group. Each channel is given a different radio frequency, and it eliminates the collision of communications and provides a more stable communications environment.
How to Handle This Device
The Integrated Wireless LAN device is already installed in your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The LAN has been configured to support the oper­ating system with which your system shipped.
* An optional hub for a wired LAN may be required depending upon the type of access point used.
FOR BETTER COMMUNICATIONS
This personal computer may not operate properly due to the operating environment. Strictly observe the following precautions when installing the main unit of the computer:
For optimum wireless communications, it recom-
mended that operation of the wireless LAN module
occur within 25 meters of the Access Point. Wireless
range is dependent on a multitude of factors including
number of obstructions, walls, type of construction
material, reflective objects, etc.
If the computer is unable to communicate properly,
change the channel to be used or the installation loca-
tion. During the use of a microwave oven or other
equipment generating strong high-frequency energy,
in particular, the personal computer may be highly
susceptible to the energy and unable to communicate
properly.
Broadcast stations or wireless communication equip-
ment that operate in the 2.4GHz or 5GHz RF Fre-
quency band may interfere with the operation of the
wireless LAN module. Increasing of transmit power or
relocating Access Points may be necessary to combat
the effects of the interference.

Wireless LAN Glossary
Ad hoc
A designation for wireless LAN network configuration. It indicates a form of communication limited to those personal computers which have wireless LAN function. For details, refer to “Ad hoc connection” on page 96.
Channel
The frequency band of wireless LAN to be used in communications over wireless LAN or at the access point.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
A protocol used for automatically fetching communica­tion parameters such as IP addresses. The side which assigns IP address is called DHCP server and the side that is assigned it is called DHCP client.
DNS (Domain Name System)
A function that controls the correspondence of IP addresses assigned to a computer with the name. Even for those computers whose IP addresses are unknown, if their names are known, it is possible to communicate with them.
IEEE802.11a
One of the wireless LAN standards prescribed by the 802 committee in charge of establishing standards of LAN technology in IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers). It allows communications at the maximum speed of 54 Mbps by using a 5GHz band which can freely be used without radio communication license.
IEEE802.11b
One of the wireless LAN standards prescribed by 802 committee in charge of establishing standards of LAN technology in IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers). It allows communications at the maximum speed of 11Mbps by a band of 2.4 GHz (ISM band) which can freely be used without radio communication license.
Access point
A designation of Wireless LAN network configurations. It indicates a form of communication using an Access Point. For details, refer to “access point connection” on page 96.
IP address
An address used by computers for communicating in TCP/IP environment. IP addresses have global and private addresses. A global address is a unique address in
WIreless LAN User’s Guide
the world. A private address is a unique address within a closed network.
LAN (Local Area Network)
An environment connecting computers within a rela­tively small range, such as the same floor and building.
MAC address (Media Access Control Address)
A physical address inherent to a network card. For Ethernet, the top three bytes are controlled/assigned as a vendor code. The remaining three bytes comprise the code uniquely (to avoid duplication) controlled by each vendor. As a result, there is no Ethernet card with the same physical address in the world. In Ethernet, the frame transmission/reception is performed based on this address.
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 authentication
The method of authentication performed by wireless LAN clients to connect with the access point. There are two types: open system authentication and shared key authentication. The type of authentication must be set to each client and also coincide with the setting of access point with which to communicate. Network authentica­tion is sometimes called authentication mode.
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
One of network authentication types for wireless LAN. Since there is no check of network key upon authentica­tion, clients can connect to the access point without
113
S Series.book Page 114 Thursday, February 12, 2004 4:15 PM
LifeBook S7000 Notebook
submitting correct network keys. However, in case of actual communications, the same network key must be set. Open system authentication is sometimes called Open key authentication.
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.
Shared key authentication
One of the network authentication types for wireless LAN. Upon authentication, the access point checks whether the same network key is set to the client. If the client uses a wrong network key or the network key itself is not set, authentication is unsuccessful, allowing no communications with the access point.
SSID (Security Set Identifier)
See “Network name”
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
Indicates that the interconnectivity test of the organiza­tion which guarantees the compatible connection of wireless LAN (Wi-Fi Alliance) has been passed.

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:
Windows 2000: [Obtain an IP address automatically]
Windows XP: [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.
WIreless LAN User’s Guide
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.
<Example>
Computer A: 192.168.100.2 (255.255.255.0)
Computer B: 192.168.100.3 (255.255.255.0)
