System Management
Using Power Management Options
Your computer includes Power Management options that can help the battery charge
last longer and extend the life of the battery. Power-management options will slow
down or shut off system components when the components are not being used.
Power management may slow down system performance. Your computer runs fastest
with the power cord attached, whereby power management is disabled.
In the next sections, basic and advanced methods of power management will be discussed.
Basic Power Management Schemes
This section discusses the basic schemes of power management when the computer is
operating on battery power or using AC power.
Standby vs. Hibernation
Hibernation is a state where the contents of memory are stored in a special file
on the hard disk, and Standby simply keeps a small holding current through
the memory to keep the data. You are more likely to sustain loss of data in
Standby mode so it is recommended to save all open files before entering
Standby.
Changing Devices:
Do not change PC Cards while in standby or hibernate modes.
To enter the power management window complete the following:
1. Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance.
2. Click
100 Users Manual
icon to display the Power Options Properties window.
3. Click the Power Schemes tab to display the basic power management options.
By default, the power scheme is configured to BatteryMgr-normal mode. BatteryMgr-normal mode extends the battery life and optimizes the Intel Speedstep function. Since the CPU power consumption is automatically optimized to
conserve power when the computer is operating on battery power, an application may be executed slower than when it is operating on AC power.To use
BatteryMgr-normal mode after reinstalling Windows, install the Battery Manager program using the system software Media.
4. Select the time that you wish each of the following actions to occur in Battery and
AC power mode.
•
•
•
•
Turn off monitor
Turn off hard disks
System standby
System hibernates
Turning off the monitor and HDDs will save a substantial amount of battery power,
therefore when in battery only mode select the shortest time practical.
You can also reserve Turning Computer Off, Hibernation state, Hold Mode,
etc. by selecting System > Computer Scheduling in the EasyBox program.
(see “Using EasyBox” on page 35.)
If you change the power settings in the Battery Manager program, the settings
of the 'Power Options Properties' window are automatically changed accordingly ("Using the Battery Manager" (p107)).
System Management 101
Hibernate Mode (Power Management or Manual Method)
When hibernation is used, your computer turns off and when you power up again,
everything is restored exactly as you left it—including programs and documents
you may not have saved or closed. Everything in memory gets saved to the HDD,
and the monitor and hard disk get turned off.
If You Reinstall Windows:
You should re-establish hibernate in power options by opening Power Op-
tions Properties window and click on the Hibernate tab then click “Enable
Hibernation”.
Hibernate Tab
Frequent Interruptions:
If you experience frequent interruptions, you might also consider putting your
computer into automatic hibernation after a specified number of minutes using
the power management options.
Standby Mode (Power Management or Manual Method)
Standby is used mainly for conserving battery power in your notebook computer. It also
gives you the benefit of getting right back to your work without waiting for the computer to
restart. Standby turns off your monitor and hard disks, placing your entire system in a lowpower state. When you return to your computer, restores your desktop exactly as you left it.
It is recommended that you do not enter standby mode with less than 20% battery power.
5. Click OK to set your power management options and close the window.
Rest Key:
The manual  key combination will not activate Standby or Hibernate modes while you are playing a multimedia program or have an active
USB device connected.
102 Users Manual
Advanced Power Management Schemes
This section discusses the advanced power management schemes. There are two buttons that you can use to manually conserve power.
To enter the power management window complete the following:
1. Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance.
2. Click
icon to display the Power Options Properties window.
3. Click the Advanced tab to display the advanced power management options.
Advanced Tab
Power & Sleep Button

Tips for Using Your Computer
The following information helps you avoid potential problems as you use your computer:
Do not try to disassemble your computer. Opening the system chassis voids
your warranty. Only an authorised(authorized) manufacturer service center
can replace or add any parts inside the chassis.
• Follow all the instructions and cautions in your computer user documentation.
• The LCD has a polarized surface and can be damaged easily. To prevent damage, avoid touching the screen.
• Use only approved AC adapters, auto adapters, memory modules and other
options.
• Because a notebook computer is small and has restricted air flow around components, it is more likely to overheat than a desktop computer. A fan inside
your computer runs when needed to help eliminate heat. Make sure the fan vent
on the left side of your computer is not blocked when you use the computer.
Occasionally check the vents and remove any accumulated dust on the outside.
• Avoid using or storing the computer in extremely hot or cold areas, such as a
car on a hot day. Keep the computer away from heaters and out of direct sunlight. Exposure to excessive heat may damage computer components. If you
have left your computer in a hot place, let it cool down slowly to room temperature (with the LCD panel open) before using it.
• Do not remove the memory-module compartment door, or try to install a memory module when the computer is on.
• Set up your computer work area to avoid physical strain. Sit with your back
straight and supported by your chair. Adjust your chair or work table so that
your arms and wrists can remain in a relaxed position, parallel with the floor.
Avoid bending or twisting your wrists as you work. Your hands should “float”
slightly above the keyboard. Refer to a book on office ergonomics for more
information on setting up your work area.
• Take frequent breaks from working at the computer to rest your eyes and
stretch your muscles.
• Remember to save your data files frequently and to make backup copies of your
files.

• A walkie-talkie must be kept more than 1 meter away from the device.
Since a walkie-talkie transmits a very strong signal, it may cause a computer
malfunction.
Travelling with Your Computer
Air Travel
If you are travelling by air, follow these tips:
• Take the computer with you as carry-on luggage. Do not check the computer
with your baggage.
• Allow the computer and disks to go through the X-ray security devices. Do not
hand-carry disks through the walk-through metal detectors, which can cause
loss of data.
• Be prepared to turn off the computer during take off and landing.
Please follow the instruction of the corresponding facilities regarding the use
of wireless devices (wireless LAN, Bluetooth , etc.) when in a wireless communication restricted area (e.g. airplane, hospital , etc.).
Handling Spills
Do not spill anything on your computer. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating
and drinking around your computer. If you do spill something on your computer, turn
off your computer, unplug it immediately, and do the following:
• If you spill liquid on the keyboard, drain as much of the liquid from the keyboard as possible. Be careful not to let the liquid drip onto the LCD panel.
Allow the system to dry for several days before trying to use it.
• If you spill liquid on an external keyboard or keypad, unplug it and drain as
much of the liquid as possible. Allow the keyboard to sit at room temperature
for a full day before trying to use it.
System Management 111
Sweet liquids leave a sticky residue that may jam the keyboard despite your
efforts to dry it.
• If you spill liquid on the LCD panel, clean it immediately with a soft cloth and
denatured alcohol or a proprietary LCD screen cleaner. Do not use water, window cleaner, acetone, aromatic solvent, or dry, rough towels to clean it.
Some liquids damage the polarized LCD screen. If your screen is damaged,
contact your authorized manufacturer’s service center for a replacement.
Storing the Computer for Long Periods

Check the Computer Settings
A1
Verify whether the wireless LAN function of the computer is on by doing the following. If the wireless LAN function is off, turn it on.
- For Windows XP, verify that the wireless network connection has been set to
"Enable" in Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
- Check if the wireless LAN is turned on.
A2
Verify whether the same network key (encryption key) has been entered in both
the AP and the computer.
The network key is an encryption key for encrypting data transmitted between the
AP and the computer. It is recommended setting the network key manually.
Check the AP Settings
For the AP settings, refer to the User's Guide provided by the AP manufacturer.
A3
Verify whether the environment is suitable for using a wireless LAN.
The use of a wireless LAN may be restricted according to the environment and
distance. Obstacles such as walls or doors affect the use of a wireless LAN. Install the AP in a high and open space 50cm from the wall and far removed from
any other radio signal sources.
A4
Verify whether the AP is operating properly.
- When the AP is not operating normally, turn off the AP and after a short while
turn it on again.
- Verify whether the AP's firmware is the most recent version. (Contact the AP manufacturer or the place where you purchased the AP for details of the AP firmware.)
124 Users Manual
A5
Verify whether the AP has been properly connected to the network.
Verify whether the network is operating normally by connecting the wired network cable, which has been connected to the AP, to your computer.
A6
Check the network key settings (encryption key).
When automatic code conversion (a passphrase function) has been selected and
data communication is not functioning even with a normal wireless connection,
it is recommended entering the network key (encryption key) manually.
A7
Check the AP settings as follows. (The following is recommended for a standard environment and thus may differ according to the specific wireless network environment.)
- When several APs are present simultaneously, check the channel setting for
each AP. When different APs are using nearby channels, interference may occur
between electronic waves. Set the APs' channels further apart from each other.
(Ex: Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13)
- When an AP's SSID (Service Set ID) option is set to "Hide", you cannot search for
that AP on the computer. We recommend canceling the "Hide" option for an AP. The
SSID is a name for distinguishing one wireless LAN from another wireless LAN.
- It is recommended using Long Preamble. Preamble is a signal for data transmission synchronization. Short Preamble may be supported by some types of APs
but may cause compatibility problems.
- It is recommended using a static IP.
- Since static channel selection is more reliable than auto channel selection, it is
recommended setting a static channel.
Q5 In the Windows XP 'Available wireless networks' window, the Wireless Network Connection is displayed as 'Not Available'.
A1
Check if the wireless LAN is turned on.
A2
Check if there is additional program for a wireless LAN connection installed.
Windows XP supports wireless LAN connections through the Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) service. Therefore, an additional program for wireless LAN
connection is not required, unless the network requires a specific program. However, installation of some wireless LAN related programs may sometimes disable
the [View Available Wireless Networks] window supported by WZC service. Exit
the wireless LAN related program then check whether the window is enabled.
A3
Initialize the device driver.
Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware tab
> Device Manager > Network adapters, and select the wireless LAN adapter. Rightclick the network adaptor and select 'Disable'. Then right-click over the network adaptor and select 'Enable' after a short wait to check that the device is operating properly.

A5
In the case of Windows XP, click Advanced in the [Wireless Network Connection] dialog box (see "Connecting to an Access Point (AP)" (p63)) and make sure
that 'Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings' is selected.
This may happen when a third-party wireless network setup program (e.g.
PROSet) other than Windows XP default program is installed. For setting up a
wireless network using the Windows XP program, this option should be selected.
Q6
When connecting to a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network, I cannot connect
to another computer connected to the same computer-to-computer network.
A1
Make sure that the security settings and network name of the computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network is correct.
A2
Check the TCP/IP properties of the computers to be connected through the computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network. All of the computers to be connected
through a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network should be configured so that
their IP addresses are within the same subnet range.
- If the TCP/IP Settings are configured to DHCP, the address is automatically
configured to an address within the subnet IP range. This will take about 2~3
minutes.
- If the IP address is configured to static IP in TCP/IP properties, select Use the
following IP address in the TCP/IP properties of the wireless adapter, configure
IP address:10.0.0.1~10.0.0.254, and Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0, and then try
again.
- A fixed IP is recommended for a small-size network.
Q7 When using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network, sometimes I cannot
search the access point.

You cannot use the wireless and the wired network connections using the same
IP address simultaneously. To use either the wireless or the wired network in turn
with the same IP address, you have to Disable whichever network device will not
be using in the network connection of the Control Panel.
Q10 The wireless LAN does not work properly when there is a device operating
on an adjacent frequency in the vicinity of the product.
A1
Channel interference may occur when a wireless video transceiver or a microwave oven is being used.If you experience channel interference from other equipment, it is recommended changing the channel to connect to the AP. For more
information about AP settings, refer to the User Manual supplied by the AP manufacturer.
A2
Since IEEE802.11g equipment operates in hybrid mode when there is active
IEEE802.11b equipment, the data rate may be degraded.
Q11 An established wireless LAN connection is disconnected after 2~3 minutes,
and the connection is not recovered.
A1
This may be caused by channel interference. Change the channel of the AP, and
reconnect.
A2
This may be caused by selecting the ’Use IEEE 802.1x network authentication’
option when IEEE 802.1x authentication is not available.
Check the properties of the AP in the wireless network settings. If the ’Use IEEE
802.1x authentication in this network’ option is selected, deselect the option on
the Authentication tab.
For more detailed information about authentication server, ask your network administrator.
A3
If the AP is configured to ’Use network authentication (Shared Key)’
If the AP is configured to authentication shared mode, all computers to be connected should be configured as follows:

Glossary
AC adapter
The AC (or alternating current) adapter regulates current coming into your
computer from the wall outlet. The current at the wall outlet is alternating current
and needs to be changed by the adapter to DC (direct current) before your
computer can use it for power.
ACPI
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)- a method for describing
hardware interfaces in terms abstract enough to allow flexible and innovative
hardware implementations and concrete enough to allow shrink-wrap OS code to
use such hardware interfaces.
BIOS
BIOS stands for basic input/output system. The BIOS is software (often called
firmware) that is independent of any operating system. It enables the computer to
communicate with the screen, keyboard, and other peripheral devices without
using programs on the hard disk.
The BIOS on your computer is flash BIOS, which means that it has been recorded
on a flash memory chip that can be updated if needed.
Boot
To start your computer. A cold boot resets the entire computer and runs through
all computer self-tests. A warm boot clears out computer memory only.
Boot disk
A disk containing operating system programs required to start your computer. A
boot disk can be a floppy disk, hard drive, or compact disc.
Byte
The basic unit of measure for computer memory. A character—such as a letter of
the alphabet—uses one byte of memory. Computer memory is often measured in
kilobytes (1,024 bytes) or megabytes (1,048,576 bytes).
Each byte is made up of eight bits. For more information on bytes and bits, see an
introductory book on computers.
Cache memory
Cache is very fast, zero-wait-state memory located between the microprocessor
and main memory. Cache reduces the average time required by the
microprocessor to get the data it needs from the main memory by storing recently
accessed data in the cache.
Glossary 151
CardBus
CardBus technology enables the computer to use 32-bit PC Cards. Hardware in
the computer and the Windows operating system provide support for the 32-bit
cards. The voltage of 32-bit cards (3.3 volts) is lower than that of 16-bit cards (5
volts). The 32-bit cards can transmit more data at a time than the 16-bit cards, thus
increasing their speed.
CMOS memory
CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) memory is powered by the
CMOS battery. The System Setup settings and other parameters are maintained in
CMOS memory. Even when you turn your computer off, the information in
CMOS memory is saved.
COM port
COM stands for communication. COM ports are the serial ports in your computer.
Compact Disc
A compact disc (CD).
Conventional memory
The first 640 KB of system memory. Operating systems and application programs
can directly access this memory without using memory-management software.
Disk
The device used by the computer to store and retrieve information. Disk can refer
to a floppy disk, hard disk, or RAM disk.
Disk cache
A software device that accumulates copies of recently used disk sectors in RAM.
The application program can then read these copies without accessing the disk.
This, in turn, speeds up the performance of the application.
A cache is a buffer for transferring disk sectors in and out of RAM. Data stored in
a disk cache is a copy of data already stored on the physical disk.
DMA (direct memory access)
A method of transferring data from a device to memory without having the data
pass through the microprocessor. Using DMA can speed up system performance.
DPMS
Display Power Management Signalling. Displays or monitors that comply with
this can be managed by the Power Management features found in the system
setup.
Floppy disk
A removable disk, also called floppy or diskette.
152 Users Manual
Hard drive
Also called fixed disk. A hard drive is connected to the computer and can be
installed or removed. Data written to a hard drive remains until it is overwritten
or corrupted.
The 2.5-inch hard drive in your computer was designed for use in a notebook
computer. Because hard drives in notebook computers are smaller than those in
desktop computers, their maximum storage capacity may be less than that of
desktop hard drives. However, because of their smaller size, the drives handle
shock and vibration better than larger drives, which is important for a notebook
computer.
I/O
Input/output. Refers to peripheral devices, such as printers, that are addressed
through an I/O address.
I/O address
I/O stands for input/output. Peripheral devices, such as printers, are addressed
through the I/O port address.
IRQ (interrupt request line)
The IRQ is a hardware line that a device uses to signal the microprocessor when
the device needs the microprocessor’s services. The number of IRQs is limited by
industry standards.
LCD (liquid-crystal display)
The LCD screen on your computer differs from the display screen of a desktop
monitor. Most desktop monitors use CRT (cathode-ray tube) displays, which
work by moving an electron beam across phosphor dots on the back of the screen.
The phosphor dots light up to show the image. LCDs use a liquid-crystal solution
between two sheets of polarizing material. Electric current passing through the
liquid aligns the crystals so that light can or cannot pass through them, creating an
image.
MB (megabyte)
1,024 kilobytes.
Megabit
1,048,576 bits or about 128 kilobytes.
Operating system
A program that supervises the computer's operation, including handling I/O.
Application programs and users can request operating-system services. A user
might request operation-system services to copy files or format a disk. An
application program might use the operating system to obtain keyboard input,
write data to a file, or write data to a screen.
Glossary 153
PC Card
PC Card stands for personal computer card. The Personal Computer Memory
Card International Association (PCMCIA) defines the standards used to develop
all PC Cards. PC Card types include: modems, Ethernet adapters, SCSI adapters,
ATA cards, and memory cards.
PC slot
The PC slot is the hardware slot in the computer where the PC Card is placed.
Pixel
A pixel is an individual dot in a graphic displayed on your computer. The pixels
are so close together that they look as though they are connected. An LCD screen
displays thousands or millions of pixels.
Plug and Play
A plug and play operating system automatically configures computer components
to work with your system. With this type of operating system, you normally do
not need to set jumpers on devices or set memory addresses or IRQs.
RAM (random access memory)
The computer's system memory, including conventional and extended memory.
You can write to and read from RAM. Information stored in RAM is temporary,
and is erased when the system is turned off.
Refresh rate
The refresh rate is the rate at which the image on the LCD screen is rewritten to
the screen. A fast refresh rate helps keep the image from flickering.
Resolution
The resolution is the sharpness or clarity of the image on your LCD screen.
Resolution is measured by the number of pixels the computer’s screen can
display. For example, a resolution of 800 x 600 means that the screen can display
800 pixels in row and can display 600 rows. The more pixels displayed, the higher
the resolution and the better the image.
ROM (read-only memory)
Permanent computer memory dedicated to a particular function. For example, the
instructions for starting the computer when you first turn on power are contained
in ROM. You cannot write to ROM. (ROM is not the same as RAM).
Sector
Also known as disk sector. The portion of a track that is numbered and can hold
a specified number of characters (usually 512 KB).
154 Users Manual
Shadow RAM
A write-protected area of RAM that contains a copy of the BIOS. As the computer
boots, the BIOS is copied from its permanent location in ROM to RAM. The
BIOS can be executed much faster in RAM than in ROM. The BIOS remains in
shadow RAM until you turn off the computer.
TFT (thin film transistor) LCD
A TFT LCD uses a separate transistor circuit to control each pixel. This
technology provides the best resolution for an LCD screen. A TFT LCD is also
sometimes called an active matrix LCD.
