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

MODEM RESULT CODES
The operating system and application software that is
factory installed detects the modem characteristics and
provides the necessary command strings to operate the
modem. The internal modem operation is controlled by
generic AT commands from the operating system and
application software. The standard long form result
codes may, in some cases, be displayed on your screen to
keep you informed of the actions of your modem. The
operating system and application software may suppress
display of the result codes.
Examples of result codes are:
■OK
■NO CARRIER
■NO DIALTONE
■CONNECT 53000 (Connection complete
at 53,000 bps.)
■ERROR
■FAX
■RING (This means an incoming call.)
■BUSY
■NO ANSWER
When using the internal modem with applications
that are not factory installed refer to the
application documentation.

RESTORING YOUR
PRE-INSTALLED SOFTWARE
The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) CD
contains:
■Sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific
directories) that are unique to your LifeBook note-
book 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.
DRIVE IMAGE SPECIAL EDITION (DISE)
PowerQuest Drive Image Special Edition (DISE)
provides a way to restore your computer if you experi-
ence 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.
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 CD-
ROM 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
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.
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.
Using the DISE feature will reduce the
amount of usable disk space on your hard
disk drive.

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 Yes.
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 parti-
tion on your hard disk, DISE will resize the partition.
DISE will display the minimum, maximum, and recom-
mended 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 selec-
tively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have
been un-installed or corrupted.
To re-install drivers and/or applications:
1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR CD after
Windows has started. The LifeBook Easy Installation
screen appears.
2. Select the drivers and applications you want to
install from the list that is displayed.
3. Click [Start]. Follow the prompts that appear to
complete installation of the selected drivers and/or
applications.
AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADING
DRIVER UPDATES
Your system has a convenient tool called the Fujitsu
Driver Update (FDU) utility. With FDU, you can choose
to automatically or manually go to the Fujitsu site to
check for new updates for your system.
The FDU icon should appear in the system tray at the
bottom right of your screen (roll the cursor over the
icons to find the correct one). If the FDU icon does not
appear in the system tray, it can be started by going to
[Start] -> All Programs, and clicking on Fujitsu Driver
Update; this will create the icon automatically.
To invoke the FDU menu, you can either right-click on
the FDU icon or hold the pen on the icon for a couple of
seconds until the menu appears. The menu contains the

■Check for updates now
Allows for manual driver update search. The first
time it is used, you are prompted to agree to a user
agreement. After clicking on the icon, the FDU auto-
matically connects with the Fujitsu site to check for
updates and downloads them. While downloading,
the icon has a red bar through it, indicating that it
cannot be used while the download is in process.
When the update is complete, a message appears
informing you of the fact.
■Enable Automatic Update Notifications

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.
Caring for your LifeBook notebook
■Your LifeBook notebook is a durable but sensitive elec-
tronic 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 note-
book:
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 brief-
case, 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 batter-
ies.
■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 addi-
tion, 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 bag-
gage.
■Always bring your System Recovery CD that came with
your notebook when you travel. If you experience sys-
tem 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 per-
sonnel. 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. Secu-
rity 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 over-
seas. Check the following diagram to determine which
plug adapter you'll need or ask your travel agent.
Electrical equipment may be hazardous if
misused. Operations of this product or simi-
lar 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.

■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.

WIreless LAN User’s Guide
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 oper-
ating system with which your system shipped.
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 communica-
tion 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
the world. A private address is a unique address within a
closed network.
LAN (Local Area Network)
An environment connecting computers within a rela-
tively 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 envi-
ronment 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 authentica-
tion is sometimes called authentication mode.
Network key
Data that is used for encrypting data in data communi-
cation. 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 authentica-
tion, clients can connect to the access point without
S Series.book Page 113 Thursday, February 12, 2004 4:15 PM
114
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 proce-
dures.
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 organiza-
tion which guarantees the compatible connection of
wireless LAN (Wi-Fi Alliance) has been passed.

IP address 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]
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 paren-
theses 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)
Computer C: 192.168.100.4 (255.255.255.0)
:
:
Computer X: 192.168.100.254 (255.255.255.0)
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.
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.
