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.

Setting the computer name and network to connect to

For more detailed information, please refer to Windows help.

This is all you need to do to correctly setup your LAN.

Remote power on (WoL - Wake on LAN)

Remote Power On (WoL - Wake on LAN) can allow 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.

11

• 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 WoL, please ensure that the AC adapter is plugged into your computer
when in hibernation or turned off.

How to configure your computer to allow WoL from when the power is turned
off

The following steps can be used to configure your computer to allow WoL from when
the power is turned off.

1 Turn the power on and immediately press <F2> several times.

The BIOS setup utility will then be displayed.

Deleting Data from the Hard Disk

The Recovery Disc is not included with model VC26M/BC-F.

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.

• 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, and verifies
that the final random data is written correctly. Effective deletion is performed by
deleting 3 times.

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

How to Delete Data from the Hard Disk
