43 Using the Notebook PC PortBar Accessory (Optional) Features The PortBar features a DC pass-through for powering the PortBar and the Notebook PC, VGA port for an external monitor , one PS/2 port for either a PS/2 mouse or PS/2 keyboard (dual use possible with a PS/2 “ Y ” adapter), two USB ports, RJ45 LAN port, and parallel port.
44 Using the Notebook PC Second Hard Disk Drive Module (Optional) 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.
45 Using the Notebook PC Optical Drive Modules (Optional) The Module Bay provides a convenient solution to add an additional device such as: • CD-ROM • CD-R W • DVD-ROM • DVD-ROM + CD-R W • Second Hard Disk W ARNING: Shut down the Notebook PC before inserting or removing module drives to prevent the system from hanging.
46 Using the Notebook PC Inserting an optical disc 1. While the Notebook PC ’ s power is ON, press the drive ’ s eject button and the tray will eject out partially . 2. Gently pull on the drive ’ s front panel and slide the tray completely out. Be careful not to touch the CD drive lens and other mechanisms.
47 Using the Notebook PC 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.
48 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.
49 Using the Notebook PC A left-click on this speaker icon gives you a master volume control with mute Information is shown when the cursor is passed over this speaker icon a double-click on the speak.
50 Using the Notebook PC Optional External Connections Monitor Out Connection Connecting an external monitor is just like on a stan- dard desktop PC. Just plug in the VGA cable and its ready to use (some Notebook PC configurations may require additional display driver settings).
51 Using the Notebook PC External Audio Connections The Notebook PC provides easy access for connect- ing a stereo headphone, mono microphone, and a stereo audio source just like on some personal tape recorders. SPDIF Audio Connection The headphone jack also doubles as a SPDIF audio port.
52 Using the Notebook PC 32-bit CardBus Support CardBus support allows PC Cards and their hosts to use 32-bit bus mastering and operate at speeds of up to 33MHz, transferring data in burst modes comparable with PCI ’ s 132MB/sec. By comparison, the standard 16-bit PC Card bus can handle only 20MB/sec.
53 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 with- out striking the PC card. 2. Carefully connect any cables or adapters needed by the PC card.
54 Using the Notebook PC Modem and Network Connections The built-in modem and network model comes with both an RJ-1 1 and an RJ-45 port. RJ-11 telephone cables have two or four wires and are used to c.
55 Using the Notebook PC Network Connection Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the Note- book 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.
56 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 V ersion 1.
57 Using the Notebook PC 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 .
58 Using the Notebook PC Using Battery Power A fully-charged battery pack provides the Notebook PC a few hours of working power . But the actual figure varies depending on how you use the power saving features, your general work habits, the CPU, system memory size, and the size of the display panel.
59 Using the Notebook PC 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 T otal Cost of Ownership (TCO). Y ou can control some of these fea- tures through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup.
60 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.
61 Using the Notebook PC System Memory Expansion Memory must be installed in order to use the Notebook PC. Under some circumstances, you may find additional memory is required. This is particularly true as applications become more complex. Expanding sys- tem memory is one method of increasing system performance by de- creasing hard disk access.
62 Using the Notebook PC External Mouse Connection A USB mouse can be easily connected to the Note- book PC. There is only one correct orientation with the USB symbol facing upwards. The USB mouse will work simultaneously with the Notebook PC ’ s touchpad.
63 Using the Notebook PC Securing Y our Notebook PC (Optional) 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.

88 Appendix Fingerprint Authentication System (cont ’ ) Proper Finger Placement While the matching algorithm of the fingerprint authentication system is quite tolerant to non-optimum finger placement, centering the core on the sensor will give the best possible performance.
89 Appendix A Fingerprint Authentication System (cont ’ ) Using the Full Fingerprint Capture the full area of the fingerprint by contacting the sensor with the finger placed flat on the sensor , as opposed to presenting only the tip of the finger . The fingertip alone contains insufficient image data for a high-quality fingerprint.
90 Appendix Centering the Core In some cases, if the core of the fingerprint is not visible in the image on the screen, the software may incorrectly reject a registered user . In this case, simply lift the finger and replace it on the sensor with the core more closely centered on the sensor .
91 Appendix A Internal Modem Compliancy Protocols and Compliancy The Notebook PC with internal modem model complies with JA TE (Japan), FCC (US, Canada, Korea, T aiwan), and CTR21.
