(1) Dust-proof and drip-proof and performance N22A is designed to have high seal performance to prevent liquid and dust from being entered into it from any directions. N22A can be used outdoor if it rains and handled with wet and/or dirt hands. With optional dust-proof and drop-proof cables (FC-SC01N/FC-SC02N/FC-SC03N), N22A has drip-proof and dust-proof performance conforming to IP54 if it connects with one or more external devices. To make dust-proof performance effective, the connector, HDD, battery and memory covers must be closed appropriately. N22A should be provided with maintenance including water wiping and drying so that N22A does not be left wet for a long period. In addition, place and operate N22A with its bottom facing downward.

20 (2) Operating temperature range N22A of wide temperature type can operate in the temperature range between -20ºC and 50ºC while N22A of other types operate in temperature range between 5ºC and 45ºC. To allow N22A to be used in the wide temperature range (-20 to 50ºC), the main unit, HDD and battery should all be available in the wide temperature range. In environment at a high temperature, the main unit may be heated. If so, wear gloves not to make your hands contact with the unit directly. To suppress heat generation, the performance of N22A may be restricted automatically. In environment at a low temperature, the battery driving time is shortened. In addition, the LCD display can make responses slower. (3) Shock resistance The chassis of N22A is made of magnesium die-casting alloy and equipped with a hard disk drive subjected to shock resistance. N22A is designed to have the strength of enduring the test in which it is dropped from a height of 90 cm to plywood or concrete floor. (4) Vibration resistance The vibration resistance of N22A does not assure that it has sufficient strength against resonance generated when added vibration is close to the natural frequency of N22A. (5) Continuous operation of N22A for long period If N22A is operated continuously for a long period, deterioration of life parts in N22A may be accelerated. Therefore, NEC may charge the repair of N22A defected due to continuous operation for a long period within the warranty period.  N22A in the tablet mode or the battery charging state should be used in ambient temperature range 5 to 40ºC.  The AC adapter can be used where the ambient temperature is -20ºC to 50ºC.  Note that, if a hard disk drive (wide temperature range type: FC-HD40KN/S) and replacement battery (wide temperature range type: FC-BP01N/W) are mounted in models other than wide temperature range types, they cannot be used in a wide temperature range (-20ºC to 50ºC). IP54  Dust-proof performance: Protection class IP5x means that a device of the class cannot completely avoid entry of dust but the dust do not interrupt the defined operations and safety of the device.  Drip-proof performance: Protection class Ipx4 means that a device of the class is not affected by spray from every angle (by a spray nozzle). Use optional dust-proof and drip-proof cables (FC-SC01N/FC-SC02N/FC-SC03N) as connection cables for the LAN, serial, or USB ports. For the power connector or PC slot cover, use an optional dust-proof, drip-proof cover (FC-SC04N/FC-SC05N). For other connection ports, securely close the connector covers during operation.  When relocating the product, close the LCD panel display and fix the latches.  This product has excellent shock-proof characteristics, but prevention of damage or failure is not guaranteed. N22A damaged by shocks may reduce its dust-proof and drop-proof performance as well as the shock resistance. Accordingly, it is recommend to repair damaged N22A.

21 When using the LCD in the high brightness condition for a long time, it is recommended to set the backlight to automatically turn off when a specified time has elapsed, via the power management control of the OS (Windows). The backlight will degrade earlier in a high-temperature environment. Also, use of a silicon disk is recommended. When using a hard disk drive, periodically shut down the computer so that the HDD will stop operating, to reduce degradation due to continuous operation. Operation sample: The power management may be set by OS (Windows) to halt the HDD automatically if accessing to hard disks does not occur for a certain period: Period set at shipment : 30 minutes (when N22A is connected to AC power) Recommended period : 3 minutes (when N22A is connected to AC power) The number of writes to a silicon disk is restricted. See “Consumables and End-of-Life Products” in “CHAPTER 6 MAINTENANCE” for details. For health The following explains recommendations to be noted for your health when using this product. It is said that long-term work with a computer can lead to accumulated fatigue, causing eye fatigue, a heavy-head feeling, blurred vision, or neck numbness or pain, from the shoulders to the fingers. Maintain a good posture and properly adjust the devices when using a computer. Rest appropriately, about 10 to 15 minutes every hour, and exercise to prevent further fatigue.  Preferable working posture It is recommended to operate a computer, while feeling relaxed without excessive intension.  Seated with your back against the seat back so that your back is supported  Placing the keyboard horizontally with the floor so that both hands are at the same height  Setting the screen lower than your eyes so that the visual line is slightly low.  Adjustment of devices If the device is adjustable, adjust it as required to be optimized for the user.  Adjustment of screen brightness The optimum brightness of the screen differs depending on the individuals or ambient brightness. Adjust the screen brightness according to the conditions, whenever required.  Clean the devices Dirty screens reduce visibility. Periodically clean the screen.

The maximum memory capacity can be installed if memory of 2GB or larger is selected. If memory of less than 2GB is selected, the maximum memory capacity is “selected memory capacity” + 2GB. 7: The LCD display is manufactured based on extremely high-precise technology. However, dot drops (such as negligible black points and red, blue or green points always illuminating) may appear on a part of the screen. In addition, color and/or brightness irregularities may appear depending on view angles. These are caused by characteristics of LCD displays and do not indicate any defects. 8: The touch panel is unavailable under USB locking. 9: The base dot drop rate is calculated in sub-pixels according to the standard of ISO13406-2. See http://www.express.nec.co.jp/products/pc/lcddot.html for details.(As of May 2008) 10: The feature allows an external display for desktop screen to be different from the LCD display of N22A. 11: 16.77 million color display is accomplished by the dithering feature of graphic accelerator. 12: N22A has the resolution and the number of colors. However, N22A cannot realize them depending on the resolution and refresh rate of the connected display. The LCD display on N22A and the external display connected to N22A can display the same screen. However, if the enlarged display feature is not used, display data may not extend to all over the external display.

29 13: Before a commercial product can be used for N22A, you should previously evaluate the product to confirm that the product is valid. 14: Fixed and silicon disk drives should be installed exclusively with each other. 15: If Windows® XP Professional (Service Pack 2) English version preinstalled is selected, the product will be shipped with an English keyboard. 16: Any software using peripherals connected to N22A must be fit to the USB interface. 17: N22A is equipped with a wireless LAN module obtaining Wi-Fi®, standard of the Wi-Fi Alliance. The communication speed and distance may be affected by various factors including connected devices, radio wave environment, surrounding obstacles, installation environment, use situation, used application software and OS. IEEE802.11b/g (2.4GHz) is not compatible with IEEE802.11a (5GHz). The wireless LAN is suitable to Super AG and Atheros XR (eXtended Range). The wireless LAN (5GHz) conforms to IEEE802.11a (W52, W53 and W56). W52, W53 and W56 are notations defined by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association. 11a (W56), however, can be used outdoors. The wireless LAN (5GHz) can only be used indoors due to relevant radio laws. To use N22A abroad, the wireless LAN feature may conflict with related laws in the country. Accordingly, disable the wireless LAN feature abroad. 18: PC card, SD card, and memory stick are options. Purchase commercial products. 19: Security software may not be used, depending on the OS for use. See “5.2 INSTALLING ATTACHED APPLICATIONS” for the operating systems supported by software. 20: The battery driving and charging times may be different from the specified values depending on situations in which the battery pack is used. The battery pack is a consumable. 21: The battery driving time is measured based on the JEITA battery operation time measurement method (Ver. 1.0). The time varies depending on operation environments, brightness of LCD display and system settings. 22: These standards are required for CE marking. 23: The energy consumption efficiency is obtained by dividing the power consumption measured based on the measurement method defined by the Rationalization in Energy Use Law (target year: 2007) by the composite theory performance defined by the Rationalization in Energy Use Law. Power saving achievement rates A, AA and AAA means achievement rates equal to or larger than 100% and less than 200%, equal to or larger than 200% and less than 500% and equal to or larger than 500%, respectively.

See “Notes on Use of N22A in FA Environment” for details. (2) Notes on operation 1. Before connecting or disconnecting cables to/from peripherals (excluding USB devices and PC and SD cards), confirm that the power of N22A is OFF. Connecting or disconnecting the relevant cable to/from a peripheral with the power of N22A being ON may cause a malfunction or fault to occur. 2. After turning off the power of N22A, wait for five seconds or longer before the power is turned on again. Turning on the power just after turn-off without a certain interval may cause a malfunction or fault to occur. 3. Clean N22A periodically.

39 (3) Notes on storage and use environment of N22A 1. N22A is a VCCI Class B information technology equipment (or information equipment mainly intended to be used in household environments) conforming to the reference level of the Voluntary Control Council for Interference by Information Technology Equipment (VCCI). However, if N22A is used near a radio, TV and/or wireless device, N22A may cause poor receptions. On the other hand, a device generating intense magnetic field is located near N22A, noises may have bad influence on N22A to operate inappropriately. If this occurs, take N22A away from such a device. 2. To use N22A in an FA environment, always make N22A meet the conditions described in “1.1.3 Environmental Specification (Main Unit)”. (4) Notes on handling and use of HDD Hard disk drives are precision devices. N22A can protect the built-in hard disk drive with buffer materials. However, note the following to protect data. 1. Do not apply shocks and vibrations exceeding over those defined in the environmental specification to N22A. 2. Keep hard disk in the hard disk drive from being subject to strong shocks if the drive is removed from N22A. (5) Notes on handling of devices sensitive to magnetism (including floppy disks) A magnet to sense opening or closing of the LCD display panel is contained at the upper left corner of the panel. The magnet may destroy data saved in magnetic media. Do not put devices sensitive to magnetism (including floppy disks) close to the magnet. Magnet

45 Uses of N22A 2.2 TURNING ON/OFF POWER This section describes how to turn on or off the power of N22A and power saving features (including suspend (standby) and pause states). Take special note on turning off the power. If you turn off the power of N22A improperly, not only data and programs but also the machine itself may be broken. Power states The power states of N22A is divided into four states, or power-off, power-on, suspend (standby) and pause states. These states are changed as follows: (1) Power-off state In the power-off state, N22A is not used at all due to shutdown of Windows or another exit operation. (2) Power-on state In the power-on state, N22A is used normally. (3) Suspend (standby) state Suspend (standby) is a power saving state where the power to the hard disk drive is shut off. The power supply of the N22A is not completely shut off. In this state, the working data is temporarily saved in memory and necessary power is supplied to keep the data in the memory. Because working data is saved in memory, N22A can immediately return to the original state at recovery from the suspend (standby) state. * Some OSs cannot enter N22A into the suspend (standby) state. (4) Pause state When the N22A enters the hibernate state, all data in the memory is saved to the hard disk and power to the N22A goes off without exiting Windows. If the power is turned on again, N22A is recovered to the same state as that at the power-off. Due to the power-off, it takes a longer time for recovery from the pause state than for recovery from the suspend (standby) state. * Some OSs cannot enter N22A into the pause state. See “Indicator lamps” of “Names and Features of Sections of FC-N22A” in “Chapter 1 Preparation” for details on the indicator lamp display according to the power status. (1) Power-off state or (4) Pause state (2) Power-on state (3) Suspend (standby) state Turn on power. Turn off power. Suspend (Standby) Resume Return from pause state Enter into pause state

46 2.2.1 Turning on Power To turn on the power in the power-off state, be sure to follow the procedure described below. To turn on the power again, wait for five seconds or longer after power-off. 1 Turn on the peripheral devices. 2 Press the power switch for one second. The N22A is turned on and the power lamp glows. 2.2.2 Turning off Power (shutdown) Turn off the N22A when it will not be used for a long time as well as before connecting devices to it. Power lock release switch Power switch Some peripheral devices may be recognized properly only when their powers are turned on before turning on the power of N22A. Refer to the User's Guides of peripheral devices previously. - For memory initialization, it may take some time to allow the initial screen to appear after power-on. - For the power lock release switch, see “Chapter 4 Setting BIOS”. - Press the power switch continuously for 1 sec or longer. To avoid operation mistakes, N22A is so designed that the power is turned on only by pressing the power switch for 1 to 2 sec consciously. - If N22A is activated only by battery, it takes 1 to 2 sec to turn on LEDs after depression of the power switch. This is because N22A is so designed as to prevent battery power from being consumed by turning off all powers including the standby power in the power-off state. This does not occur in use of “WakeOnLAN”, since the standby power remains to sense LAN signals. - After power-on, do not turn off the power while Windows and one or more applications are activated. Before turning off the power, confirm that neither the mouse pointer nor the sand clock appear and the file access LED does not illuminate. - Pressing the power switch for 4 seconds forcibly turns off power; data that has not been saved will be lost. Save the working data before pressing the power switch to turn off the N22A. The BIOS activation screen appears after power-on. To continue BIOS setting, press the F2 key. The BIOS setup menu screen then appears. ( See “Chapter 4 Setting BIOS”.)

Power-off procedure by using power switch 1 Save edited data and quit all the applications. 2 Press the power switch. 3 Check that the power is turned off. 4 Turn off the peripheral devices. 2.2.3 Power Saving Features The suspend (standby) or hibernate features allow stopping of operation without exiting applications. When restored, different from shutting down, the screen immediately before the suspend (standby) or hibernate status is entered allows operation to be immediately started (resuming). Notes on using suspend (standby) and resume feature or hibernate status To use the suspend (standby) and resume features, note the following. Failure to follow these instructions may cause working data for entering N22A into the suspend (standby) state to be lost or not to be restored.  Before entering suspend (standby) or hibernate status  When any communication device is being used, quit the communication application before entering the suspend (standby) or hibernate status. Entering N22A into the suspend (standby) state under communication may leave the line connected to add up the communication fee. Note that entering the hibernate status while communication being performed may forcibly disconnect communication.  Before N22A can be entered into the suspend (standby) state, USB devices should be removed from N22A. N22A with one or more USB devices connected may not be able to be entered into the suspend (standby) state.

48  Do not enter the suspend (standby) or hibernate status in the following cases:  Executing system change job (including setting driver or adding printer),  Outputting data to printer,  Replaying audio or motion picture,  Reading/writing data from/to memory card or hard disk,  Reading/writing data from/to floppy disk, CD-R or DVD-R,  Using application not applicable to the suspend (standby) state feature,  When using a peripheral device or expansion card that does not support the suspend (standby) and hibernate features  Executing Windows start or exit processing, or  If N22A is entered into the suspend (standby) state during connection to network through fax modem or LAN by communication software, the network feature is aborted once. Some applications accessing to network may cause data to be lost when N22A is entered into the suspend (standby) state. Before using an application accessing to network, contact a system administrator to check if the suspend (standby) state may be used.  When transiting to the suspend (standby) or hibernate status Do not replace disks and PC and memory card. Failure to follow this instruction may cause data to be saved improperly. Do not connect or disconnect a USB device and IEEE 1394 device to/from N22A.  During suspend (standby) or hibernate status Power is consumed during the suspend (standby) status. The saved data will be lost if the battery becomes depleted. Be sure to connect the AC adapter during the suspend (standby) status. Do not connect or disconnect peripheral devices, otherwise this product may not resume normally. Other notes  If a SCSI PC card is used, N22A cannot be resumed properly depending on the combination of the SCSI PC card and the connected device.  To make N22A resumed immediately after entering it into the suspend (standby) state, wait for five seconds or longer from transition to the suspend (standby) state. It is required not to impose a burden on N22A excessively.  After recovery from the pause state, nothing may appear on the LCD display. In this case, touch the touch pad (mouse) or press any key to restore the normal display.  Resolution taken if resume feature is executed improperly The following situations indicate improper execution of the resume feature:  Applications do not operate or  The data having existed before the suspend (standby) state cannot be restored.  The machine will not resume even if the power switch is pressed. During use of applications causing these situations, do not use the suspend (standby) and resume features. If N22A cannot be resumed by pressing the power switch, press the power switch continuously for about four seconds or longer. The power lamp disappears and the power is turned off forcibly. Then the settings in the BIOS Setup Menu may return to the factory default values. Provide settings for the BIOS Setup Menu again if required.

60 2.8 BATTERY The battery is the power supply built in N22A. The battery can be recharged by using the AC adapter, optional battery charger FC-BC01N or optional car adapter FC-VA01N. Installing the charged battery in N22A allows it to be operated without AC power. The available time of the battery fully charged varies depending on the environment and condition in which N22A is used. The time may be shortened if applications access to peripheral devices frequently. 2.8.1 Notes on Batteries  Batteries are consumables. Repeating charging and discharging a battery causes its charging ability to decrease. Batteries are not charged fully at purchase.  Charge batteries in temperature range 5 to 40ºC. Charging the battery at a higher temperature may cause it to be deteriorated or damaged.  It takes a longer time to charge the battery fully at a low temperature than to charge it fully at a normal temperature.  The time taken to charge the battery fully may vary depending on conditions under which N22A is used.  At a lower temperature, N22A can operate only for a shorter period.  Batteries should be fully charged if possible. Repeating little charge and discharge of the battery at a low battery level may cause the low remaining battery level to be erroneous.  In use of an external power, leave the battery installed in N22A. This allows the battery to be kept in the full charge state.  If N22A is not used for a long period (two weeks or longer), remove the battery from N22A.  To remove the battery, do not make the battery pins contact with conductors including metals and water. Short of the pins may cause the battery to be unavailable.  Save the battery in a low-temperature and dry place if saved. Do not leave the battery in a place where the temperature exceeds 60ºC.  Do not leave the battery for three months or longer without recharging.  The battery driving time specified in the brochure and User’s Guide of the battery is calculated based on the battery operation time measurement method (Ver. 1.0) defined by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association. The actual battery driving time varies depending on the operation environment, the brightness of the LCD display and the system settings.  When a vibration or shock exceeding the installation environmental conditions is applied to the N22A with a battery installed, or a strong vibration or shock is applied to a battery itself, the battery may damaged, resulting in smoke or fire. In this case, stop using the battery. To use N22A only with the battery, you should often check the remaining battery level.

N22A of no wireless LAN installation model cannot be equipped with the wireless LAN feature later. Notes on security in use of wireless LAN products The wireless LAN is advantageous to allow LAN connection freely within the radio wave range because data is transmitted among wireless access points including computers through radio waves instead of using LAN cables. On the other hand, since radio waves reach any locations over obstacles (including walls) within a certain range, the following problems may occur without security.  Stealing communication data Malicious outsiders may intentionally intercept radio waves to steal communication data as follows: − Personal information including IDs, passwords and credit card numbers − Mail contents  Invading into network illegally Malicious outsiders may access to personal and corporate networks without notice to take the following actions: − Acquiring private and confidential information (information leak) − Make communication as a specific person to spread illegal information (spoofing) − Rewrites intercepted communication data to be transmitted (falsification) − Spread computer virus to destroy data and/or systems (destruction) The N22A provides security settings against the problems mentioned above, for wireless LAN cards or wireless access points. In nature, wireless LAN cards and wireless access points have proper security features to cope with these problems. Accordingly, wireless LAN products can be used with their security features to reduce occurrences of the problems.  The communication speed and distance vary depending on wireless LAN devices and ambient conditions including radio wave environment, obstacles and installation environment.  Due to the property of radio wave, the communication speed is apt to be slower as the communication distance is longer. To allow you to use wireless LAN more comfortable, it is recommended to use wireless LAN devices within a distance as short as possible.  To connect N22A to network, wireless LAN access points sold separately and some other devices are required.  Using N22A in a country other than Japan may conflict relevant laws in the country. Accordingly, disable the wireless LAN feature of N22A in other than Japan.  During network communication, do not enter N22A into the pause or suspend (standby) state.  During network communication, connect the AC adapter to N22A. Only the battery can operate N22A for a rather short period.  For influences on airplanes or medical devices, see “Cautions on using wireless features” in “For safety”.  Confirm that [Wireless LAN Controller] is set [Enabled] in BIOS Setting when using wireless LAN. See “PCI Configuration Submenu” in “Chapter4 SETTING BIOS” in detail. Security settings are not be performed when the N22A is purchased.

77 Uses of N22A Security enabled by N22A The wireless LAN installed in N22A has the following security features. 1. Preventing interception Setting an encryption key by using the encryption feature allows wireless LAN data among communication devices using the specific encryption key to be encrypted. However, encryption keys may possibly be known by outsiders or decrypted by decryption technology. Accordingly, it is recommended to change encryption keys periodically. For encryption feature settings, see “Setting encryption feature” of “Wireless LAN” in this section. 2. Preventing illegal accesses by setting SSIDs (network names) Setting specific SSIDs (network names) for both access points and communication devices can avoid connections from communication devices without the same SSIDs. However, SSIDs can be known by using devices which have the feature of detecting SSIDs automatically. To avoid this, SSID hiding must be set on access points not to notify them. Registering MAC addresses of connected devices in each access point disables devices not registered to connect to the access point (MAC address filtering). For setting SSIDs, see “Setting encryption feature” of “Wireless LAN” in this section. Installing the wireless LAN driver Install the wireless LAN driver according to the following procedure. 1 Start Windows. 2 Click [Start]  [Run…]. 3 Click the [Browse] button to select Wireless_TIC_125458_v10.5.1.0_XP32.exe in the C:¥WINXP¥Drv¥WirelessLAN folder, and then click the [OK] button. 4 The “Important Information” screen is displayed. Check the contents and then click the [Next] button. 5 The “License Agreement” screen is displayed.

Installation 1 Insert a hard disk/silicon disk assembly into the disk storage area until it is securely connected. 2 Close the cover, and then press down the part slid to the original position. 3 Attach the anti-theft screws if they are to be used. 4 Install a battery and connect an AC adapter or car adapter. HDDs are extremely precise equipment. Note the following if used.  During data read/write (with the access lamp being ON), only a small shock may cause the HDD to be defected.  If the HDD is defected, important data may be unavailable at a time and unable to be restored. It is recommended to frequently back up important data for which the same data cannot be created twice.  Depending on models of HDDs, a region with no drive number assigned appears in the [Disk Management] dialog box. This is the re-setup region required for re-setup. Do not provide the region with such processing as deletion from targets of disk management. Put the cover so that the HDD removal support may not be caught. The HDD/silicon disk cannot be inserted in the wrong direction (upside down). Carefully check its direction.

85 Security Chapter 3 Security 3.1 SETTING PASSWORD ON BIOS SETUP UTILITY You can set a password intended to limit users of starting the system on the BIOS SETUP Utility. If you set a password, any user must enter the password for the following operations. This can increase the security feature:  Starting BIOS SETUP Utility  Starting system In the BIOS setup menu, the following security passwords can be set. 1. Supervisor password Users who can start the system are limited. After setting this item, the password must be entered when starting the BIOS setup menu or the system. 2. User password Users who can start the system are limited. In addition, the BIOS setup items can also be limited. In case users other than the administrator use the N22A, the administrator can prohibit other users from changing settings. 3. Hard disk password To prevent illegal use with any device other than the N22A, a password must be entered when using the HDD by connecting to other devices. There are two HDD passwords, or HDD master and HDD user passwords.  The HDD master password is intended to release the HDD user password.  The HDD user password is intended to authenticate your computer and the HDD installed in the computer. 4. I/O LOCK FEATURE The I/O lock disables the I/O feature, measures to interchange data with external devices, on the BIOS SETUP Utility. See “I/O Lock Feature” in “Chapter 4 Setting BIOS”.  For the setting procedure, see “Security setting” in “Chapter 4 Setting BIOS”.  Even if an HDD password has been set, entering the password is not required when booting your computer.  To use the I/O lock feature, set supervisor and user passwords to limit accessing to the BIOS SETUP Utility.

86 3.2 LOGIN PASSWORD The login password is intended to limit users of OS. If a login password is set, the password must be entered to login to the OS. <Setting Procedure> 1. Click [Start]  [Control Panel]. 2. Click [User Accounts] to open the dialog box. 3. Click [Change an account] and click the name of the user for which a login password is to be created. 4. Click [Create a password] to open the password setting screen. 5. Enter a password in the [Type a new password:] and [Type the new password again to confirm:] boxes and click [Create password]. 3.3 SECURITY CHIP Setting the security chip allows electronic mails and files to be encrypted and prohibited from being opened without an authentication password. In addition, N22A is equipped with a security chip called TPM (Trusted Platform Module) in its major part to store encryption keys in the security chip. Thus, if only the HDD is withdrawn, the data in the HDD will not be read.  A login password can be created only by a user having any of accounts in the local computer including guest and administrator accounts and those created for the computer.  To create a tip for a password, anyone using computers can see the tips on the [Welcome] screen.  A user having the administrator account of a computer can create or change passwords for all users of the computer. A user having a limited account can only create or change his or her own password or create a tip of the password.  If a user having the administrator account of a computer changes a password of a user, then the user loses all the passwords stored for EFS encrypted files, personal certificate, and web site or network resources.  To use the security chip, set supervisor and user passwords to restrict accessing to the BIOS SETUP Utility.  See “Infineon Security Platform” in “Chapter 5 . Installing OS and Applications ” for details.

87 Security 3.4 FINGERPRINT AUTHENTICATION PASSWORD (APPLIED TO N22A OF FINGERPRINT SENSOR INSTALLATION MODEL ONLY) The fingerprint authentication password is intended to provide authentication by fingerprints using the built-in fingerprint sensor instead of passwords. N22A has an attached utility to allow logon to Windows, release of screen saver lock and substitution for passwords of various applications by fingerprint authentication. 3.5 ANTITHEFT LOCK A commercial security cable can be used to tie N22A to a desk or so. This is effective to prevent N22A itself from being stolen. The antitheft lock hole has the size of 3mm×7mm. Select a security cable fit to the hole. 3.6 ANTITHEFT HDD/Silicon Disk and BATTERY The attached anti-theft screws are effective to prevent HDD/Silicon disk and the battery from being stolen. The cover does not open easily, tighten the anti-theft screws to fix the HDD/Silicon disk cover and the battery cover. See “Fingerprint Authentication Utility” in “Chapter 5 . Installing OS and Applications ” for details. Take sufficient care for management and treatment of important data without overconfidence of the security cable.

(2) System repair procedure The system can be repaired in either of the following two ways. The proper way is dependent on the system status. Try the simpler method first in the order shown below: 1. Repair the system by using the [Last Known Good Configuration] menu. 2. Provide the system with re-setup by using the recovery CD-ROMs. Notes on re-setup  Make a backup of data. Some re-setup methods may erase all or a part of data you have created. For the re-setup methods, see “Standard and Custom Re-setups”.  Write down the settings of N22A. Re-setup returns all settings including network settings to the factory defaults. To use N22A with the same settings as the current ones after re-setup, write down the current settings of N22A.  Remove peripheral devices purchased separately from N22A. Provide re-setup under the condition that devices coming with FC-N21C are only connected to N22A. Peripheral devices purchased separately should be connected to N22A after re-setup.  If a supervisor password is set, cancel the supervisor password or change the BIOS SETUP as follows: Select [Security]  [Password on boot]  [Disabled]. For the supervisor password, see “Chapter 4 Security”.  Do not suspend re-setup. After starting re-setup, be sure to complete it according to the procedure described in this guide. If suspended, restart the re-setup from the beginning. The re-setup is to return the system in N22A to that in the same state at shipment from factory based on the data stored in the recovery CD-ROMs if the system is damaged. The re-setup is also required after the configuration of the HDD is changed. It is because formatting (initializing) the HDD causes the system to be erased.

142 6.2.2 Standard and Custom Re-setups There are two re-setups, or standard and custom re-setups. The following describes four re-setup patterns. (1) Standard re-setup Every hard disk drive in N22A can be returned to the factory default. Beginners and users unfamiliar with HDD should always follow the procedure for re-setup. (2) Custom re-setup For re-setup of drive C only or change of the capacity of drive C, follow the procedure. Select any of the following three procedures and go to Subsection “Custom Re-setup”. 1. Re-setup of drive C only in the NTFS format. Provide only drive C in the built-in HDD with re-setup in the NTFS format. Drive D and the other drives are not formatted and the data in the drives is left as it is. * The capacity of drive C is not changed. 2. Re-setup of entire HDD area to a single partition Provide the entire area of the built-in HDD with re-setup to a single partition in the NTFS format. Drive C can have the maximum capacity. Data in the built-in HDD is erased completely. Be sure to make backup copy of the data. 3. Free re-setup of HDD area (re-setup by user setting) Provide the area of the built-in HDD with re-setup to a combination of partitions of 5GB or larger in 1GB freely. Data in the built-in HDD is erased completely. Be sure to back up the data. For file systems NTFS, FAT32 and FAT16, click [Start]  [Help and Support]. (Searching with keyword such as “File System”, you can view the detailed information.)

144 6.2.4 Standard Re-setup Repairing System by Using Recovery CD-ROMs The Recovery CD-ROMs attached to N22A can be used to recover the information stored in the HDD to factory defaults. (1) Tools to be prepared The following tools are required for re-setup by using the recovery CD-ROMs. Prepare the following CD-ROMs attached to N22A.  Recovery CD-ROMs (WinXP)  CD-R/RW with DVD-ROM drive (FC-CW002U) In addition, the user name and computer name must be entered. Define the names to be registered previously. (2) Check items before re-setup Be sure to return BIOS settings to the factory defaults if changed. For how to return BIOS settings to the factory defaults, see “Chapter 4 Loading the BIOS SETUP Defaults”. (3) Notes on re-setup  Do not connect or add peripherals including a printer or memory devices. Before the re-setup is completed, any peripherals including a printer and extended memory devices should never be connected to N22A. If these peripherals are purchased concurrently with N22A, first complete the setup of Windows XP to be followed by connections and installations of the peripherals according to the user’s guides coming with the peripherals.  Be sure to connect the AC adaptor all the way of re-setup.  Do not turn off the power on the way. Do not turn off the power in the middle of the setup. Setting the power switch to OFF or disconnecting the power cable in the middle of the setup may cause a fault to occur. If the screen seems to stop on the way, the setup program may operate. This does not indicate that the system is defected. Advance the operation according to the defined procedure without panic. (4) System Restoration Procedure 1. Turn on the power of N22A. 2. As soon as the power lamp goes on, insert “Recovery CD-ROM (WinXP)” into the CD-ROM drive. 3.
