Checking the Status of the OmniBook
The OmniBook status panel, located above the keyboard (on the icon PCA), contains indicators that
show the current status of the OmniBook. The indicators in the status panel show keyboard status,
drive status, and power status.
Table 1-4. Status Panel Indicators (Icon PCA)
IndicatorMeaning
AC power. The ac adapter is plugged in.
OmniBook 3000:
Battery status. Shows the approximate charge level of the battery relative to a full
charge. Each bar represents approximately 10% charge.
The upper and lower triangles indicate the presence of the main battery (upper) and a
second battery (lower). A triangle blinks when that battery is charging. The main
battery charges first, discharges last.
OmniBook 2100/3100: If two batteries are installed, the indicator shows the combined
charge of both batteries.
OmniBook 3000: If two batteries are installed and the ac adapter is connected, the
indicator shows the level of the battery being charged. If the ac adapter is not
connected, the indicator shows the combined charge of both batteries.
Press Fn+F6 to show separate battery levels.
Battery low. (Triangle, but no bars.) The OmniBook also beeps.
Defective battery. (No triangle, no bars.) No charging, even though ac adapter is
present.
Overheated battery. (No triangle, top bar.) The battery is too hot to charge. Not
necessarily a defective battery.
Internal drive. The OmniBook is accessing one of the internal drives: the hard disk
drive, CD-ROM drive, or other plug-in module drive.
Floppy disk drive. The OmniBook is accessing the floppy disk drive.
Blinks
when the battery is being charged.
PC Card. There is activity between the PC Card and the computer.
Caps Lock. Caps Lock is active.
Num Lock. Num Lock is active.
Keypad Lock. The embedded keypad is active (Fn+F8). Num Lock must also be on
for the numeric keys—otherwise, cursor control is active.

Reassembly Notes
Caution
• Use a HDD case kit that is compatible with the thickness of the drive, 9.7 mm or 12.7 mm.
• OmniBook 2100/3100: The hard drive in an OmniBook 2100 or 3100 must have a metal
shield. If an older HDD case kit does not have this part, get a newer HDD kit.
• Do not cover the vent hole in the top surface of the hard drive or in the case. If you cover the
hole, the hard drive could fail prematurely.
• Depending on the manufacturer of the replacement drive, the hole placement for the four screws
may vary.
Important
If you are installing a new hard drive, you should create a Hibernate partition on the drive before
loading any software—see the steps below.
Creating a Hibernate Partition
1. If you do not have an OmniBook Recovery CD and internal CD-ROM module for the computer
model you are repairing, create a Support Utility floppy disk now.
After inserting a formatted floppy disk in the floppy drive, do one of the following:
¨
On a factory software installation, click Start, Programs, OmniBook, Create Support Utility
Disk.
¨
On any computer that has a CD-ROM drive, run makesupp from the
\Omnibook\Drivers\Hputils directory on the OmniBook Recovery CD.
¨
On any computer with World Wide Web access, download the Support Utility software
package from the OmniBook website (see page vi). Follow the instructions provided.
2. Insert the Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive—or insert the Support Utility disk in the floppy
drive.
3. Reboot the computer. If you are using the Recovery CD, press ESC during reboot if the
OmniBook screen appears, ESC to display the boot-device menu, then select the CD-ROM drive
as the boot device.
