This section covers important points and the correct procedure for setting up the LAN (Local Area Network) function.

LAN settings

The following provides a simple explanation about how to perform network setup in order to connect to a LAN.

Setting up a network connection

Network connection settings can be changed by going to the [Control Panel] and clicking [Network and Internet]  [View network status and tasks]  [Change adapter settings]. For more detailed information, please refer to Windows help.

The following step allows you to change settings such as the computer name.

Remote power on (WoL - Wake on LAN)

Remote Power On (WoL - Wake on LAN) allows you to do the following.

• Remotely turn your computer on after the power is off.

• Remotely wake up your computer after sleep or hibernate.

If you configure your computer to allow WoL, the LAN adapter stays active, even when the computer power is off. A special packet (Magic Packet) that instructs your computer to turn on can be transmitted from a remote administrator's PC. When this packet is received by the computer's dedicated controller, it triggers the power to be turned on. This allows you to be able to remotely turn your computer's power on or wake it up from sleep or hibernate from an administrator's PC when your computer has a LAN connection.

• In order to enable WoL, it is necessary to install special software on the administrator's PC to allow sending of Magic Packets.

• It is not possible to use WoL in cases where the previous system shutdown (power off, sleep, or hibernate) was not correctly completed. If this is the case, please turn the power back on, restart Windows, and once again perform a system shutdown using the correct procedure.

• WoL cannot be used with a hub that only supports a speed of 1000 Mbps. Please use a hub that supports 10M/100M/1000M Auto-negotiation.

• When using the WoL, disable the "Fast Startup" function. For more detailed information, please refer to "Disabling the "Fast Startup" function (Windows 8.1)" (p.25).

Applications

Deleting Data from the Hard Disk

Microsoft® Office Single Image v15

"Microsoft® Office Single Image v15" is not pre-installed MG33M/B-K and MG36L/B-K model that is running on the English language OS sold in the Japanese market.

"Microsoft® Office Single Image v15" is installed on this computer.

To use Microsoft® Office, you need to purchase a product key separately.

The Recovery Disc is not included with models MC33M/B-K and MC36L/B-K.

About Deleting Data from the Hard Disk

Data can be deleted from the computer's hard disk. Data written to the hard disk can be removed using the [Recycle Bin] or by formatting the computer to the original state. Selecting this menu will remove hard disk data that cannot be removed by hard disk formatting of operation system standard, and the removed data will not be easily recovered with recovery tools. Format the hard disk before transferring or disposing of the computer.

Before deleting the hard disk data, return the BIOS Setup Utility setting to the factory setting values.

Data can be deleted from the computer in the following 3 ways.

• Simple mode (1 time erasure) Overwrites "00" data entirely from the hard disk once.

• NSA-introduced mode (3 times erasure) Deletes data from the hard disk in a method compliant to the U.S. Department of Defense NSA Standard. The data is deleted effectively by writing random data 1, then random data 2, then "00" data 3 times in order and then deleting it 3 times. However, since the data is written 3 times, it takes 3 times longer than simple mode for deletion to be completed.

• DoD-introduced mode (3 times erasure + Verify) Deletes data from the hard disk in a method compliant to the U.S. Department of Defense Standard. "00", "FF", and "random value" is written in order 3 times, and verifies that the final random data is written correctly. Effective deletion is performed by deleting 3 times. However, since the data is written and verified 3 times, it takes 4 times or longer than when in simple mode.

By using this method it is not guaranteed that the data cannot be completely recovered.
