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 icon to display the Power Options Properties window. System Management 83 3. Click the Power Schemes tab to display the basic power management options. By default, the power scheme is configured to SAMSUNG mode. SAMSUNG 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 SAMSUNG mode after reinstalling Windows, install the PowerCFG program using the system software CD. 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 schedule your system for shutdown, hibernation or standby modes by clicking System > Computer Scheduling of the EasyBox program (p32). 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 itincluding 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. 84 Users Manual 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. 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 <Fn+Esc/

- When the AP is not operating normally, turn off the AP and after a short while turn it on again. Troubleshooting 107
- 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.) 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 When there is a Wireless LAN button, ensure that the Wireless LAN button is turned on. A2 Check if there is additional program for a wireless LAN connection 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. Troubleshooting 109
- A fixed IP is recommended for a small-size network. Q7 When using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network, sometimes I cannot A search the access point.

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 charactersuch as a letter of the alphabetuses 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. 138 Users Manual 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. Glossary 139 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 microprocessors 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. 140 Users Manual 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 computers 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). Glossary 141 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. 142 Users Manual FCC Warning Class B Computing Device Information to the User This Equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of FCC Rules.
