Using System Security
This section describes your computer security programs. The first is the standard BIOS
security which is standard on almost all computers. The second is a advanced factory
option Biometric security system that uses your fingerprint(s) to control access to your
computer and individual files if necessary. You no longer have to worry about
passwords being lost, stolen or forgotten.
BIOS Security
The BIOS security operations are explained below:
System Passwords
The computer provides (4) levels of password security: administrative-level
(supervisor), user-level (user), HDD access and Password on Boot. These passwords
prevent unauthorized access to the computer. The supervisor password enables full
access to all System Setup fields. The user password enables full access to only the Set
User Password and Password on boot security fields and read access to all other
System Setup fields. The HDD Password controls access to the hard drive.
You may also enable the biometric security at boot.
The (3) security boot time options are:
The Biometric Security software MUST be installed prior to setting the security
options to any of the fingerprint options.
• Disabled
• Text password
• Finger Print
If multiple users have access to the computer (such as in a network environment), a
supervisor password can prevent unauthorized access to certain security options.
Choose the type of password security that is appropriate for your work.
If You Forget Your Password
It is very important that you do not forget your password. If you do, you cannot access
your system. Write your password down and keep it in a safe place. If you do forget
and cannot find the written note, please contact the Samsung Helpline. Please have
your receipts available to verify the type and model of your computer. You may be
charged for password removal.

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, when 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
Standby unlike hibernation mode does not store unsaved information on your
hard disk; it's stored only in the computer memory. If there is an interruption in
power, the information is lost. So before putting your computer on standby,
you should save your files.
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
52 Users Manual
icon to display the Power Options Properties window.
Taurus (Windows XP) - English.fm Page 53 Tuesday, April 2, 2002 4:13 PM
3. Click the Power Schemes tab to display the basic power management options.
Power Schemes Tab
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 battery power, therefore
when in battery only mode select the shortest time practical.
a 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.
Using Power Management Options 53
Taurus (Windows XP) - English.fm Page 54 Tuesday, April 2, 2002 4:13 PM
If You Reinstall Windows:
You should re-establish hibernate in power options by opening Power
Options 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.
a 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 low-power 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 whilst you are playing a multimedia program or have an
active USB device connected.

Using the Hard Drive
Your computer includes a removable IDE (integrated drive electronics) hard drive. The
IDE hard drive can store the data and programs your computer uses. The drive plugs
into a connector on the system board.
The hard drive that comes with your computer has already been formatted. Do
not format the hard drive. Doing so destroys all data contained on the drive. If
you need to format a new drive, or want to erase all data on your existing hard
drive, refer to the manual for your operating system.
Installing/Reinstalling a HDD
To install a new HDD you must contact your local service representative. He will do
the physical change of the drive. You should complete the instructions below before
you go to the service center.
See the information below before you install your HDD:
• Back up data files of your old hard drive.
• For system boot with CD-ROM, under the Boot menu in System setup, set
Bootable CD Check to Enabled and set Boot Device Priority is ordered starting
from the [DVD/CD-ROM].
When you are ready to install the new HDD use the Recovery CD-ROM to install the
device driver.
(Re)Installing Windows and Device Drivers
Use System Recovery CD to (re)install OS and System Software CD to (re)install
device' drivers.
The System Recovery CD is used to (re)install the OS and System Software
to a new HDD or recover from a system crash.
Notebook computers that ship from the factory include System Recover CDROM and System Software CD-ROM, which contains a copy of the
applications and drivers needed for computer's operating system.
In the unlikely event that programs on the computer hard drive become
corrupted or are erased, you can use the System Recovery CD-ROM to
reinstall your operating system and then System Software CD-ROM to
reinstall your original applications and drivers.

Video Features and Configuration
All these video modes can be displayed on an external monitor. However, if you
disconnect an external monitor that was attached to your computer and then start the
computer, the LCD may revert to a different resolution than the one you chose for the
external monitor.
Resolution and Colour Depth
The resolution of the LCD is the sharpness of the image it can display. Resolution is
measured by the number of pixels (individual dots) displayed on the entire screen. In
general, the more pixels the LCD can display, the better the image.
The number of colours the LCD can display is measured by how many bits the LCD
uses to represent each pixel:
• 16-bit colour can support 64 K (65,536) colours.
• 32-bit colour can support 16 M (16.8 million) colours.
All these video modes can be displayed on an external monitor. However, if you
disconnect an external monitor that was attached to your computer and then start the
computer, the LCD may revert to a different resolution than the one you chose for the
external monitor.
Adjusting the LCD Display
