Using the CD-ROM Drive CD-ROM discs and equipment must be handled with care because of the precise mechanics involved. Keep in mind the important safety instructions from your CD suppliers. Unlike desktop CD-ROM drives, the Notebook PC uses a hub to hold the CD in place regardless of the angle.
4. Using the Notebook PC DVD-ROM Drive Information Overview The Notebook PC comes with an optional DVD-ROM drive or a CD-ROM drive. In order to view DVD titles, you must install the provided MPEG2 video decoder software and the DVD viewer software included on the DVD module driver support CD. The DVD-ROM drive allows the use of both CD and DVD discs. Definitions DVD, which stands for Digital Versatile Disc, is the next generation of optical disc storage technology.
4. Using the Notebook PC Regional Playback Information Playback of DVD movie titles involves decoding MPEG2 video, digital AC3 audio and decryption of CSS protected content. CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name given to the content protection scheme adopted by the motion picture industry to satisfy a need to protect against unlawful content duplication. Although the design rules imposed on CSS licensors are many, one rule that is most relevant is playback restrictions on regionalized content.
4. Using the Notebook PC Using a CD A CD drive letter should be present regardless of the presence of a CD disc in the drive. After the CD is properly inserted, data can be accessed just like with hard disk drives; except that nothing can be written to or changed on the CD. Vibration is normal for all high-speed CD-ROM drives due to unbalanced CDs or CD print. To decrease vibration, use the Notebook PC on an even surface and do not place labels on the CD.
4. Using the Notebook PC Optional External Connections Monitor Out Connection Connecting an external monitor is just like on a standard desktop PC. Just plug in the VGA cable and its ready to use (some Notebook PC configurations may require additional display driver settings). You can view the Notebook PC display panel while simultaneously allowing others to view the external monitor. For large audiences, try connecting a computer video projector.
4. Using the Notebook PC PC Card (PCMCIA) Socket The Notebook PC has one PC Card (or sometimes referred to as PCMCIA) sockets located behind a hinged cover to allow expansion just like a desktop computer expansion slot. This allows you to customize your Notebook PC to meet a wide range of application needs. The socket can interface with one Type I or Type II PC card. PC cards are about the size of a few stacked credit cards and have a 68-pin connector at one end.
4. Using the Notebook PC Inserting a PC Card (PCMCIA) 1. Insert the PC card with the connector side first. When the PC card is fully inserted, the PC card bay door can close normally without striking the PC card. 2. Carefully connect any cables or adapters needed by the PC card. Usually connectors can only be inserted in one orientation. Look for a sticker, icon, or marking on one side of the connector representing the top side. Be sure the PC card is level when inserting.
4. Using the Notebook PC Modem and Network Connections The built-in modem and network model comes with both an RJ-11 and an RJ-45 port. RJ-11 telephone cables have two or four wires and are used to connect telephones to telephone outlets found in the walls of residential homes and some commercial buildings (some commercial buildings may have telephone wiring designed for dedicated phone systems that may not be compatible).
4. Using the Notebook PC Network Connection Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the Notebook PC and the other end to a hub or switch. For 100BASE-TX speeds, your network cable must be category 5 (not category 3) with twisted-pair wiring. If you plan on running the interface at 100Mbps, it must be connected to a 100BASE-TX hub (not a 100BASE-T4 hub). For 10Base-T, use category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring.
4. Using the Notebook PC IR Wireless Communication The Notebook PC is equipped with a conveniently located Infrared (IR) Communication Port (see 2. Knowing the Parts for location). The IR port comes with IrDA (Infrared Data Association) Serial Infrared Data Link Version 1.1 compliance, that allows you to perform point-to-point wireless communications. You can use a SIR/FIR-specified application to transmit or receive data files with other systems equipped with an infrared port.
4. Using the Notebook PC CAUTION! Disable the infrared communication when you are not using the IR for long periods because the IR consumes a great deal of Windows resources which will decrease the Notebook PC’s performance. AC Power System The Notebook PC power is comprised of two parts, the power adapter and the battery power system. The power adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the Notebook PC. The battery pack consists of a set of battery cells housed together.
4. Using the Notebook PC Using Battery Power A fully-charged battery pack provides the system approximately 2.5 to 3 hours of working power. But the actual figure varies depending on how you use the power saving features, your general work habits, the CPU, main memory size, and the size of the display panel. The “Battery Warning” beeps are automatically enabled in Windows 98/ME and sounds when down to 10% (configurable in Windows 98/ME) power. The processor is also throttled down to decrease power use.
4. Using the Notebook PC WARNING! Never attempt to remove the battery pack while the power is ON, or if the system has not yet entered into the suspend mode as this may result in the data loss. Power Management Modes The Notebook PC has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that you can use to maximize battery life and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). You can control some of these features through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup when APM (non-ACPI) is used.
4. Using the Notebook PC Standby Mode In addition to reducing the CPU clock, this mode puts devices including the LCD backlight in their lower active state. The Notebook PC enters Standby mode when the system remains idle for a specified amount of time. The timeout can be set through the BIOS Setup. To resume system operation, press any key on the keyboard, touchpad, or external mouse (or moving the mouse).
4. Using the Notebook PC Thermal Power Control There are three power control methods for controlling the Notebook PC’s thermal state. These power control cannot be configured by the user and should be known in case the Notebook PC should enter these states. The following temperatures represent the chassis temperature (not CPU). • The fan turns ON for active cooling when temperatures are close to the safe upper limit when AC power is used and turn ON at the safe upper limit when only using battery power.
4. Using the Notebook PC Hard Disk Drive Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster speeds than floppy disk drives and CD-ROM drives. Enhanced IDE drives provide a reliable, fast, and cost-effective mass storage solution in the PC storage industry. The high speed transfer modes supported are Ultra DMA/66 up to 66MB/sec and PIO mode 4 up to 16.6MB/sec. The Notebook PC comes with a removable 2.5” (6.35cm) wide and .374” (.
4. Using the Notebook PC Second Hard Disk Drive Module The convenient design of the Notebook PC allows for the usage of a second hard disk drive in the modular bay. A second hard disk drive allows you to use it as a removable device, for installing dual operating systems, for additional data storage, or to store CDs. To use a second hard disk drive, you must be familiar with the following: • What to purchase and the contents of the kit.
4. Using the Notebook PC Securing Your Notebook PC For system and hard disk drive security, see BIOS setup “Security”. A third party lock such as the ones by Kensington® can be used to secure your Notebook PC physically to an unmovable object.
