Customizing Your Computer 99 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 dis-

cussed. 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. icon to display the Power Options Properties window. 2. Click 100 Users Manual 3. Click the Power Schemes tab to display the basic power management options. By default, the power scheme is configured to BatteryMgr-normal mode. Bat-

teryMgr-normal mode extends the battery life and optimizes the Intel Speed-

step function. Since the CPU power consumption is automatically optimized to conserve power when the computer is operating on battery power, an applica-

tion may be executed slower than when it is operating on AC power.To use BatteryMgr-normal mode after reinstalling Windows, install the Battery Man-

ager 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 accord-

ingly ("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 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. 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 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:

curity lock port. Any damage to the machine caused by using a locking / security device is not covered under warranty. System Management 109 Tips for Using Your Computer The following information helps you avoid potential problems as you use your com-

puter:

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 dam-

age, 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 com-

ponents, 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 sun-

light. 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 temper-

ature (with the LCD panel open) before using it. Do not remove the memory-module compartment door, or try to install a mem-

ory 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. 110 Users Manual 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 commu-

nication 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 key-

board 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, win-

dow 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 manufacturers service center for a replacement. Storing the Computer for Long Periods If you will not be using the computer for a long period of time (a month or more), you should discharge the battery completely then remove the battery from the computer.

Ask your network administrator or AP manager for more detailed information. A3 Check that the device driver is properly installed. If the driver is not properly in-

stalled, you will find a yellow exclamation mark on the network icon by clicking Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware tab

> Device Manager > Network adapters > Wireless LAN adapter. If there is a yel-

low exclamation mark, please reinstall the device driver with the system software Media. A4 Referring to A2 of Q3, Check that the network bridge configuration is correct. Q2 The signal strength is excellent, but I cannot connect to the network. Even if the signal strength is excellent, the network connection may not operate properly if the TCP/IP properties are not properly configured, or the network key

(encryption key) is incorrect. A1 Check that the TCP/IP properties are configured properly. When you connect to an AP, click the Wireless Network Connection icon on the taskbar and select the Support tab. If the IP is not allocated properly, the IP address will be displayed as follows (e.g. 169.254.xxx.xxx). If the network does not provide DHCP, you have to specify the correct IP address by asking your network administrator. Even if the network provides DHCP, the server may not allocate an IP address to the client properly, and the client station cannot connect to the network. A2 Referring to A2 of Q1, check that the network key is correct. A3 Referring to Q4, check that AP is operating properly. Troubleshooting 123 Q3 I cannot share an Internet connection. A1 It may require some time to synchronize the computers to share an Internet con-

nection after the Internet connection sharing configuration is completed. If you cannot share Internet connection even after a longer period, restart the computer. A2 Check if the connection between the network adapters is configured to bridge. If there is a configured bridge connection between the network adapters through the network configuration wizard, remove the network bridge, and reconfigure the Internet connection sharing. A bridge connection is created when you ran Network Setup Wizard from the

[Network Connections] window, and selected both the internal connection adapt-

er and another adapter in the wizard. Q4 I cannot connect to the AP. Check the Computer Settings A1 Verify whether the wireless LAN function of the computer is on by doing the fol-

lowing. 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. In-

stall 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 man-

ufacturer 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 net-

work 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 envi-

ronment 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 transmis-

sion 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 Net-

work 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 Con-

figuration (WZC) service. Therefore, an additional program for wireless LAN connection is not required, unless the network requires a specific program. How-

ever, 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. Right-

click the network adaptor and select 'Disable'. Then right-click over the network adap-

tor and select 'Enable' after a short wait to check that the device is operating properly. Troubleshooting 125 A4 Right-click the My computer icon, and select Manage. When the Computer Man-

agement window appears, double-click Services and Applications on the left, and then click Services from the sub menu tree. Select the Standard tab in the right pane, double-click Wireless Zero Configuration and check that Startup Type is configured to Automatic, and the Service status is Started. In the case of Windows XP, click Advanced in the [Wireless Network Connec-

tion] 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. A5 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-com-

puter (Ad Hoc) network is correct. A2 Check the TCP/IP properties of the computers to be connected through the com-

puter-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. It may happen occasionally when you are using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network connection. Even if you cannot find some access points, the com-

puter-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network is operating properly. Click Refresh to view the latest search result. A 126 Users Manual Q8 Running Help file while running Profile Wizard in the wireless LAN pro-

gram (PROSet) makes the PROSet window white. It will be displayed properly when you finish the profile wizard. It dose not affect the program operation. A Q9 The network does not operate properly when both the wireless and the wired network connections are simultaneously configured with the same IP ad-

dress. 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. A 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 micro-

wave oven is being used.If you experience channel interference from other equip-

ment, 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 man-

ufacturer. 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 ad-

ministrator. If the AP is configured to Use network authentication (Shared Key) If the AP is configured to authentication shared mode, all computers to be con-

nected should be configured as follows:

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. 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 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. 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 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). 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. Glossary 155 Contact SAMSUNG WORLD WIDE
