front edge of the key to indicate their secondary functions.  
(Figure 2-10)  
USING THE KEYBOARD  
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has an integral 84-key  
keyboard. The keys perform all the standard functions of  
a 101-key keyboard, including the Windows keys and  
other special function keys. This section describes the  
following keys. (Figure 2-10)  
■
Numeric keypad: Your notebook allows certain keys to  
serve dual purposes, both as standard characters and  
as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to tog-  
gle between the standard character and numerical keys  
is controlled through the [NumLk] key.  
WINDOWS KEYS  
Your LifeBook notebook has two Windows keys,  
consisting of a Start key and an Application key. The  
Start key displays the Start menu. This button functions  
the same as your onscreen Start menu button. The  
Application key functions the same as your right mouse  
button and displays shortcut menus for the selected  
item. (Please refer to your Windows documentation for  
additional information regarding the Windows keys.)  
(Figure 2-10)  
■
Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrow  
keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to the  
right, left, up, or down within windows, applications  
and documents.  
■
Function keys: The keys labeled [F1] through [F12],  
are used in conjunction with the [Fn] key to produce  
special actions that vary depending on what program  
is running.  
■
Windows keys: These keys work with your Windows  
operating system and function the same as the  
onscreen Start menu button, or the right button  
on your pointing device.  
CURSOR KEYS  
The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard  
which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left and  
right in applications. In programs such as Windows  
Explorer, it moves the “focus” (selects the next item up,  
down, left, or right). (Figure 2-10)

Touchpad Pointing Device  
Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-  
click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select,  
press the left button once, and then immediately release  
it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to the item you  
wish to select, press the right button once, and then  
immediately release it. You also have the option to  
perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the  
Touchpad once. (Figure 2-12)  
Certain S7000 LifeBook notebooks are  
equipped with an optional “Quick Point”  
button for moving the cursor. For more  
information about Quick Point, see  
“Optional Quick Point Feature” on  
page 16.  
The Touchpad pointing device comes built into your  
Fujitsu LifeBook notebook. It is used to control the  
movement of the pointer to select items on your display  
panel. The Touchpad is composed of a cursor control, a  
left and right button, and a scrolling button. The cursor  
control works the same way a mouse does, and moves  
the cursor around the display. It only requires light pres-  
sure with the tip of your finger. The left and right  
buttons function the same as mouse buttons. The actual  
functionality of the buttons may vary depending on the  
application that is being used. The scrolling button  
allows you to navigate quickly through pages, without  
having to use the scroll bars. (Figure 2-11)  
Figure 2-12 Clicking  
DOUBLE-CLICKING  
Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left  
button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does  
not function with the right button. To double-click,  
move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press  
the left button twice, and then immediately release it.  
You also have the option to perform the double-click  
operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad twice.  
(Figure 2-13)  
An external mouse can be connected to  
either the USB port on your LifeBook note-  
book or the USB or PS/2 ports on the  
optional port replicator, and used simulta-  
neously with the Touchpad. However, if  
you boot the system with an external  
mouse connected the Touchpad will be  
disabled or enabled depending on the  
specifications in your BIOS settings. (See  
BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more  
information)

Using the Scrolling button allows you to navigate  
through a document quickly without using the window’s  
scroll bars. This is particularly useful when you are navi-  
gating through on-line pages. To use the Scrolling  
button, press the crescent shape at the top or bottom of  
the button to scroll up or down a page. When you have  
reached the desired section of the page, release the  
button. (Figure 2-15)  
DRAGGING  
Dragging means pressing and holding the left button,  
while moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to  
the item you wish to move. Press and hold the left  
button while moving the item to its new location  
and then release it. Dragging can also be done using the  
Touchpad. First, tap the Touchpad twice over the item  
you wish to move making sure to leave your finger on  
the pad after the final tap. Next, move the object to its  
new location by moving your finger across the  
Touchpad, and then release your finger. (Figure 2-14)  
Figure 2-15 Scrolling  
OPTIONAL QUICK POINT FEATURE  
The optional Quick Point device consists of a cursor  
control button at the lower center of the keyboard. It is  
roughly the same size and shape as a pencil eraser. The  
cursor control works the same way a mouse ball does,  
and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires  
light pressure to move; the more pressure you use, the  
faster the cursor will move.

Volume Control  
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume  
controls which interact with each other.  
There are 26 levels through which the  
function keys cycle.  
Any software that contains audio files will  
also contain a volume control of its own. If  
you install an external audio device that  
has an independent volume control, the  
hardware volume control and the software  
volume control will interact with each  
other. It should be noted that if you set  
your software volume to Off, you will  
override the external volume control  
setting.  
■
■
Volume can be controlled by many volume controls  
that are set within individual applications.  
Certain external audio devices you might connect to  
your system may have hardware volume controls.  
Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the  
volume level that must then be followed by the other  
sources.  
CONTROLLING THE VOLUME  
The volume can be controlled in several different ways:  
We recommend that you experiment with the various  
volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.  
■
Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on  
the Taskbar.  
■
Volume can be controlled with the F8 and F9 func-  
tions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn]

separate folders: Supervisor and User. The setup files for  
supervisor and user security applications are contained  
in those folders.  
As an application launcher, the LifeBook Application  
Panel is very flexible, giving you a variety of options. To  
set up the Panel to best suit your needs, we have  
provided the Application Panel Setup utility that quickly  
and easily helps you make the most of this valuable  
feature.  
To configure your LifeBook Application Panel with

are tabs that correspond to the application buttons on  
the LifeBook Application Panel. When you receive your

specific programs, as referenced in Chapter 7 of this  
document.  
Supervisor and user passwords can be set via Windows  
software using the FJSECS.exe and FJSECU.exe files,  
respectively. FJSECU.exe for the user password cannot  
run without first setting a supervisor password. You  
need to run FJSECS.exe first to set the supervisor pass-  
word. Follow instructions under Setting Passwords on  
page 20.  
The tabs in Application Panel Setup may  
not be in the same order as the buttons on  
your LifeBook notebook, please select the  
tab you wish to change carefully.

BOOT SEQUENCE  
Starting Your  
The procedure for starting up your notebook is called  
the Bootup sequence and involves your notebook’s  
BIOS. When your LifeBook notebook is first turned on,  
the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find  
instructions to start up your notebook. This information  
is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or  
restart your notebook, it goes through a boot sequence  
which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system  
is loaded. During booting, your notebook is performing  
a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test  
(POST). If the sequence is completed without a failure  
and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the  
system displays the operating system’s opening screen.  
LifeBook Notebook  
POWER ON  
Power/Suspend/Resume Button  
The Power/Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on  
your LifeBook notebook from its off state. Once you  
have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal  
Lithium ion battery, you can power on your LifeBook  
notebook. (See figure 2-3 on page 6 for location)  
When you turn on your LifeBook  
notebook be sure you have a power  
source. This means that at least one  
battery is installed and charged, or that the  
AC or Auto/Airline adapter is connected  
and has power.  
The boot sequence is executed when:  
■
You turn on the power to your LifeBook notebook.  
■
You restart your notebook from the Windows  
Shut Down dialog box.  
■
The software initiates a system restart. Example:  
To turn on your LifeBook notebook from its off state,  
press the Power/Suspend/Resume button, located above  
the keyboard. When you are done working you can  
either leave your LifeBook notebook in Suspend mode,  
(See Suspend Mode on page 32 for more information), or  
you can turn it off (See Power Off on page 33 for more  
information).  
When you install a new application.  
■
You reset the system by pressing [CTRL+ALT+DEL].  
BIOS SETUP UTILITY  
The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the  
operating environment for your LifeBook notebook.  
Your BIOS is set at the factory for normal operating  
conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change  
the BIOS’ environment to operate your notebook.  
Do not carry your LifeBook notebook  
around with the power on or subject it to  
shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging  
your notebook.  
The BIOS Setup Utility configures:  
■
Device control feature parameters, such as changing  
I/O addresses and boot devices.  
When you power on your LifeBook, it will perform a  
Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and  
configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found,  
your LifeBook notebook will emit an audio warning and/  
or an error message will be displayed. (See Power On Self  
Test Messages on page 64 for more information)  
Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able  
to continue by starting the operating system or by  
entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings.  
■
System Data Security feature parameters, such as  
passwords.  
Entering the BIOS Setup Utility  
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following:  
1. Turn on or restart your LifeBook notebook.  
2. Press the [F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appears on  
the screen. This will open the main menu of the  
BIOS Setup Utility with the current settings  
displayed.  
After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self Test  
(POST), your notebook will load your operating system.  
3. Press the [RIGHT ARROW] or [LEFT ARROW] key  
to scroll through the other setup menus to review or  
alter the current settings.  
Never turn off your LifeBook notebook  
during the Power On Self Test (POST) or it  
will cause an error message to be displayed  
when you turn your LifeBook notebook on  
the next time. (See Power On Self Test

Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery  
Warning condition.  
Power Management  
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has many options and  
features for conserving battery power. Some of these  
features are automatic and need no user intervention,  
such as those for the internal modem. However, others  
depend on the parameters you set to best suit your oper-  
ating conditions, such as those for the display bright-  
ness. Internal power management for your notebook  
may be controlled from settings made in your operating  
system, pre-bundled power management application, or  
from settings made in BIOS setup utility.  
Your notebook’s system memory typically stores the file  
on which you are working, open application informa-  
tion, and any other data required to support operations  
in progress. When you resume operation from Suspend  
mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left  
off. You must use the Power/Suspend/Resume button to  
resume operation, and there must be an adequate power  
source available, or your notebook will not resume.  
■
If you are running your LifeBook note-  
book on battery power, be aware that  
the battery continues to discharge while  
your notebook is in Suspend mode,  
though not as fast as when fully opera-  
tional.  
Besides the options available for conserving battery  
power, there are also some things that you can do to  
prevent your battery from running down as quickly.  
For example, you can create an appropriate power saving  
profile, put your notebook into Suspend mode when it  
is not performing an operation, and you can limit the  
use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery  
powered computers, there is a trade-off between  
performance and power savings.  
■
Disabling the Power/Suspend/Resume  
button prevents it from being used to  
put your LifeBook notebook in Suspend  
or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode.  
The resume function of the button can-  
not be disabled.  
POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON  
When your LifeBook notebook is active, the Power/  
Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put  
your notebook into Suspend mode. Push the Power/  
Suspend/Resume button when your notebook is active,  
but not actively accessing anything, and immediately  
release the button. You will hear two short beeps and  
your system will enter Suspend mode. (See figure 2-3 on  
page 6 for location)  
■
The Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-  
Disk) mode should not be used with cer-  
tain PC Cards. Check your PC Card doc-  
umentation for more information. When  
PC Cards or external devices are in use,  
Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode cannot  
return to the exact state prior to suspen-  
sion, because all of the peripheral  
devices will be re-initialized when the  
system restarts.  
If your LifeBook is suspended, pushing the Power/  
Suspend/Resume button returns your notebook to active  
operation. You can tell whether the system is Suspended  
by looking at the Power indicator. (See figure 2-3 on  
page 6) If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your  
notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is visible  
and flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If the  
indicator is not visible, the power is off or your notebook  
is in Hibernation mode. (See Hibernation Feature)  
■
If your LifeBook notebook is actively  
accessing information when you enter  
the Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-  
Disk) mode, changes to open files are  
not lost. The files are left open and  
memory is kept active during Suspend  
mode or the memory is transferred to  
the internal hard drive during Hiberna-  
tion mode.  
The main advantage of using the  
SUSPEND MODE  
Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) function is that  
power is not required to maintain your  
data. This is particularly important if you  
will be leaving your LifeBook notebook in  
a suspended state for a prolonged period  
of time. The drawback of using  
Hibernation mode is that it lengthens the  
power down and power up sequences and  
resets peripheral devices.  
Suspend or Standby mode in Windows saves the  
contents of your LifeBook notebook’s system memory  
during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to  
critical parts. This mode will turn off the CPU, the  
display, the hard drive, and all of the other internal  
components except those necessary to maintain system  
memory and allow for restarting. Your notebook can be  
put in Suspend mode by:  
■
Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button when  
your system is turned on.  
Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu.  
Timing out from lack of activity.

power off, you will lose any changes that  
have not been saved, and may cause disk  
errors.  
The Video Timeout is one of the power management  
parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the  
display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the  
user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer  
activity will cause the display to restart automatically.  
This feature is independent of the Power/Suspend/  
Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in  
Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility  
on page 29 for more information)  
Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows  
allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn  
off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The  
proper sequence is:  
HARD DISK TIMEOUT  
The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power  
management parameters. This feature saves power by  
turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive  
activity for the user selected timeout period. Any  
attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart  
automatically. This feature is independent of the Power/  
Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and  
disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS  
Setup Utility on page 29 for more information)  
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down or

RECHARGING THE BATTERIES  
Lithium ion Battery  
If you want to know the condition of the primary  
Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator  
located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator  
changes as the battery level changes.  
Your LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion battery that  
provides power for operating your notebook when no  
external power source is available. The battery is durable  
and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme  
temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or other hazards.  
The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using  
the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the  
battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged  
is installed in your LifeBook notebook and connect the  
AC or Auto/Airline adapter.  
The Lithium ion battery operating time may become  
shorter if it is used under the following conditions:  
■
When used at temperatures that exceeds a low of 5°C  
or a high of 35°C. Extreme temperatures not only  
reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery  
deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status Indi-  
cator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery  
that is outside its operating temperature range.  
(See Battery Charging Indicators on page 12 for more  
information)  
Make sure that the Battery Charging  
indicator and the percentage charge is  
shown inside the Battery Level icon on the  
Status Indicator Panel.  
There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery  
therefore you do not need to discharge the battery  
completely before recharging. The charge times will be  
significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the  
battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery  
more quickly, put your notebook into Suspend mode,  
or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.  
(See Power Management on page 32 for more information  
■
When using a high current device such as a modem,  
Super-Multi DVD drive, CD-ROM drive, DVD/CD-  
RW combo drive, or the hard drive, using the AC  
adapter will conserve your battery life.  
Do not leave a faulty battery in your  
LifeBook notebook. It may damage your  
AC adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter,  
another battery or your notebook itself. It  
may also prevent operation of your  
notebook by draining all available current  
into the bad battery.  
on Suspend mode and shutdown procedure)  
Using heavy current devices such as  
Modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-  
ROM accesses may prevent charging  
completely.  
■
Actual battery life will vary based on  
Low Battery State  
screen brightness, applications, fea-  
tures, power management settings, bat-  
tery condition and other customer  
preferences. CD-ROM drive, Super-  
Multi DVD drive, DVD/CD-RW drive  
combo, or hard drive usage may also  
have a significant impact on battery life.  
The battery charging capacity is reduced  
as the battery ages. If your battery is  
running low quickly, you should replace  
it with a new one.  
When the battery is running low, a low battery notifica-  
tion message will appear. If you do not respond to the  
low battery message, the batteries will continue to  
discharge until they are too low to operate. When this  
happens, your notebook will go into Suspend mode.  
There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once  
the notebook reaches this point.  
■
Once the low battery notification mes-  
sage appears, you need to save all your  
active data and put your LifeBook note-  
book into Suspend mode until you can  
provide a new power source. You should  
provide a charged battery, an AC power  
adapter, or Auto/Airline adapter as soon  
as possible.  
■
Under federal, state, or local law it may  
be illegal to dispose of batteries by put-  
ting them in the trash. Please take care  
of our environment and dispose of bat-  
teries properly. Check with your local  
government authority for details regard-  
ing recycling or disposing of old batter-  
ies. If you cannot find this information  
elsewhere, contact your support repre-  
sentative at 1-800-8FUJITSU (1-800-  
838-5487)  
■
When you are in Suspend mode there  
must always be at least one power  
source active. If you remove all power  
sources while your LifeBook notebook is  
in Suspend mode, any data that has not  
been saved to the hard drive will be lost.

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-  
cator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your  
notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will  
be unable to resume operation until you provide a  
source of power either from an adapter, or a charged  
battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to  
press the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume  
operation.  
Hot-swapping Batteries  
To hot-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these  
easy steps: (Figure 4-1)  
Be sure to plug in an AC Adapter prior to  
removing the battery. There is no bridge  
battery present to support the system  
while the battery is being replaced. If you  
do not use an AC Adapter you will lose  
any unsaved files.  
In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be  
maintained for some time, but if a power source is not  
provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop  
flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data  
that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can  
continue to use your notebook while an adapter is  
charging the battery.  
1. Plug an AC Adapter into the system and connect it  
to a power outlet.  
Latch Release  
Battery Bay  
Release Latch  
Shorted Batteries  
The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the  
battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display  
the operating level available in that battery. (See figure 2-  
9 on page 11) If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it  
means the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it  
does not damage other parts of your LifeBook notebook.  
REPLACING THE BATTERY  
With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have  
a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not  
charged. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-  
swapping and hot-swapping:  
Battery Pack  
Lift Slot  
Cold-swapping Batteries  
To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these

Batteries”.  
easy steps: (Figure 4-1)  
1. Have a charged battery ready to install.  
2. Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC  
adapter.  
If the Lithium ion battery connector is not  
fully seated, you may not be able to use  
your notebook or charge your battery.  
3. Unlock the battery bay release latch by pushing the  
latch release away from the battery pack and sliding  
the battery bay release latch towards the latch release  
(Figure 4-1).  
4. Continue to press the latch release button away from  
the battery pack, and lift the battery out of the bay  
by inserting a thumbnail under the edge of the  
battery at the lift slot.  
5. Slide a new battery into the bay.  
6. Slide the battery bay release latch back to its original  
position to lock the battery into place.

Figure 4-4.Loading/Ejecting a 3.5” Floppy Disk  
External USB  
If you eject the disk while the Floppy Disk  
Drive Access indicator is active, there is a  
risk of damaging the data on the disk, the  
disk itself or even the disk drive.  
Floppy Disk Drive  
An external USB floppy disk drive is available as an  
option for your LifeBook notebook. The external floppy  
disk drive can read and write information on removable  
1.44MB and 720KB floppy disks.  
PREPARING A DISK FOR USE  
Before you can use a new disk, it needs to be prepared  
so your LifeBook notebook knows where to store infor-  
mation. This preparation is called formatting or initial-  
izing a disk. You will need to format new disks, unless  
they are preformatted. (Please refer to your operating  
system manual for step-by-step instructions on formatting a  
disk)  
Your LifeBook notebook is preconfigured  
to boot from a USB floppy drive. Refer-  
ence the BIOS manual for further informa-  
tion on changing the default boot drive.  
The BIOS manual can be found on the  
Fujitsu Computer Systems web site:  
us.fujitsu.com/computers, under Support.  
To prevent accidental erasure of the data stored on a  
disk, slide the “write protect” tab until a small hole is  
exposed. This sets the disk into a protected state where  
nothing can be added or removed. If you want to add or  
remove data on a protected disk, slide the “write  
protect” tab to close the small hole. (Figure 4-5)  
LOADING A DISK  
To load a disk into your disk drive, follow these easy  
steps:  
1. Orient the disk so that its label is facing upwards  
and the shutter side is pointing towards the drive.  
(Figure 4-4)  
2. Push the disk into the drive until the Eject button  
pops out and you hear a click.  
Write Enabled  
When there is no disk in the drive, the  
Eject button is flush with your notebook.

EJECTING A DISK  
To eject a disk from the disk drive, follow these easy  
steps:  
Figure 4-5. Floppy Disk Write Protect  
1. Check that the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicator  
is inactive.  
Formatting a floppy disk that already con-  
tains data will erase all of the information  
on the disk.  
2. Press the Eject button. This will push your disk  
partially out of the drive.  
3. Remove the disk.

files you use.  
If your system was delivered with  
Windows 2000 as the operating system,  
the Windows 2000 image is on the D:  
partition, but the Restore Disc contains  
Windows XP. If you decide to restore your  
system from the Restore Disc, you will  
overwrite Windows 2000 with the  
Windows XP operating system.  
Using the DISE feature will reduce the  
amount of usable disk space on your hard  
disk drive.  
Creating a Backup Image  
You can create a backup image of your C:\ drive at any  
time. The C:\ partition must be a FAT, FAT32, or NTFS  
partition, and it must be directly before the backup  
partition on your hard disk.  
The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) CD  
contains:  
■
Sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific  
directories) that are unique to your LifeBook note-  
book configuration for use as documented below.  
A link to the Drive Image Special Edition (DISE)  
utility on your hard disk drive.  
There are two ways to implement the DISE utility: When  
booting up the system, or from the desktop.  
■
Creating a backup image when booting up  
Before creating a backup image at boot-up, you must  
first change the boot-up priority in the BIOS so that the  
system will go to the CD drive first, rather than trying to  
boot-up from the hard drive or an external floppy disk  
drive.  
■
Read-me files that provide additional use information  
for items on this CD-ROM.  
If the DAR CD is in the drive when you  
boot up the system, a message will appear  
informing you that continuing to boot  
from the CD will overwrite all information  
on the hard drive, including saved files,  
and restore the hard drive to its factory  
configuration. If you wish to install drivers  
or applications only from the CD, remove  
the disk from the drive, reboot the system,  
and insert the CD after Windows has  
started.  
To change the boot-up priority:  
1. Start your system and press the [F2] key when the  
Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup  
Utility.  
2. Using the arrow keys, go to the Boot menu.  
3. Arrow down to the Boot Device Priority submenu  
and press [Enter].  
4. Arrow down to the CD-ROM drive in the list, and  
press the space bar (or the + key) to move the CD-  
ROM drive to the top of the list. (The system  
attempts to boot from the devices in the order in  
which they are listed.)  
If you have access to the internet, visit the  
Fujitsu Support web site at us.fujitsu.com/  
computers to check for the most current  
information, drivers and hints on how to  
perform recovery and system updates.  
5. Press [F10], then click on [Yes] to exit the BIOS  
Setup Utility and return to the boot process.  
After you have changed the boot priority, you can create  
a backup image when you are booting up:  
DRIVE IMAGE SPECIAL EDITION (DISE)  
PowerQuest Drive Image Special Edition (DISE)  
provides a way to restore your computer if you experi-  
ence a hard disk crash or other system failure. Fujitsu has  
used DISE to create an image of everything installed on  
the computer at the time you purchased it. The image is  
saved on a separate partition on the hard disk. You can  
use DISE to restore the factory image and return your  
computer to the state in which it was shipped from  
Fujitsu.  
1. Install the DAR CD in the drive prior to booting up.  
When bootup begins, a message will appear  
informing you that continuing to boot from the CD  
will overwrite all information on the hard drive,  
including saved files, and restore the hard drive to its  
factory configuration.  
2. When you are asked if you want to restore the  
factory image, click [Y]es.  
Creating a backup image from the desktop  
Although it is not necessary, you can use DISE to store  
additional image files that you create. For example, if  
you install several applications and save data files on  
your hard disk, you can create a new image file that  
includes them and then save that image file on the hard  
To create a backup image from the desktop, select Drive  
Image SE from the Program list. You will initially be  
prompted to create a backup diskette. It is not necessary

AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADING  
DRIVER UPDATES  
Your system has a convenient tool called the Fujitsu  
Driver Update (FDU) utility. With FDU, you can choose  
to automatically or manually go to the Fujitsu site to  
check for new updates for your system.  
1. At the Drive Image Special Edition main screen,  
click Options> Create New Backup. DISE displays a  
warning that it must go to DOS to create the image.  
3. Click Yes.  
DISE creates an image file in the backup partition. If  
you created a backup image previously, the new  
image overwrites the old one.  
The FDU icon should appear in the system tray at the  
bottom right of your screen (roll the cursor over the  
icons to find the correct one). If the FDU icon does not  
appear in the system tray, it can be started by going to  
[Start] -> All Programs, and clicking on Fujitsu Driver  
Update; this will create the icon automatically.  
Enlarging the Backup Partition  
If there is not enough unused space in the backup parti-  
tion on your hard disk, DISE will resize the partition.  
DISE will display the minimum, maximum, and recom-  
mended sizes for the backup partition. You choose the  
size you want.  
To invoke the FDU menu, you can either right-click on  
the FDU icon or hold the pen on the icon for a couple of  
seconds until the menu appears. The menu contains the  
following items:  
DISE takes the space from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS  
partition that you are backing up. If there is not enough  
unused space in that partition to take, you will not be  
able to resize the backup partition and create an image  
file. You can delete files from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS  
partition to create more unused space on the hard disk.  
■
Check for updates now  
Allows for manual driver update search. The first  
time it is used, you are prompted to agree to a user  
agreement. After clicking on the icon, the FDU auto-  
matically connects with the Fujitsu site to check for  
updates and downloads them. While downloading,  
the icon has a red bar through it, indicating that it  
cannot be used while the download is in process.  
When the update is complete, a message appears  
informing you of the fact.  
Restoring a Backup Image  
You can restore either a factory image or a backup image  
you created. Be aware that restoring a backup image will  
replace the contents of the C:\ partition with the image  
you restore.  
■
Enable Automatic Update Notifications  
1. Disable virus protection software. If virus protection  
software is enabled, DISE will hang.  
Automatically searches for new updates on a regular  
basis (approximately every 3 days).  
2. From the DISE main window, click Options >  
Restore Backup to restore an image you created, or  
click Options > Restore Factory Backup to restore  
the factory image.  
■
Show update history  
Brings up a screen that displays a history of updates  
that have been made via the FDU.  
■

Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications  
The Drivers and Application CD can be used to selec-  
tively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have  
been un-installed or corrupted.  
■
Fujitsu Driver Update Readme  
Displays the FDU readme.  
To re-install drivers and/or applications:  
1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR CD after  
Windows has started. The LifeBook Easy Installation  
screen appears.  
2. Select the drivers and applications you want to  
install from the list that is displayed.  
3. Click [Start]. Follow the prompts that appear to  
complete installation of the selected drivers and/or  
applications.

Before Using the Wireless LAN  
■
The Integrated Wireless LAN is an optional device avail-  
able for Fujitsu mobile computers. This manual  
describes the basic operating procedures for the Wireless  
LAN (referred to as the “device” in this manual) and  
how to set up a wireless LAN network. Before using this  
device, read this manual carefully to ensure correct oper-  
ation of the device. Keep this manual in a safe place for  
reference while using the device.  
This wireless module is Wi-Fi compliant. The module  
can communicate at a maximum data rate of 54 Mbps.  
■
The maximum communication range is approxi-  
mately 80 feet (25 meters) inside a building. Please  
note that the range you achieve may be shorter or  
longer than 80 feet, depending upon factors such as  
obstructions, walls, columns, construction material,  
and reflective objects.  
Types of Wireless LANs Covered by this Document  
■
The wireless module s support a number of industry-  
standard security mechanisms, including WEP, TKIP,  
and 802.1x/EAP (LEAP, TLS, PEAP, MD5).  
This document is applicable to systems containing one  
of the following two devices. Most of the procedures are  
identical. Sections that differ between the two devices  
have been noted in the text:  
Wireless LAN Modes Using this Device  
Ad Hoc Mode (See Figure 1)  
■
Intel PROSet Wireless LAN  
“Ad Hoc Mode” refers to a type of wireless network that  
involves connecting multiple computers without the use  
of an Access Point. Network connectivity between  
computers can be established using only wireless LAN  
cards in a peer-to-peer fashion.  
■
Atheros Wireless LAN  
If your system is a Stylistic S7010, your wireless module  
is the Intel PROSet wireless LAN; if your system is a  
Stylistic S7010D, your wireless module is the Atheros  
wireless LAN.  
Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method  
for establishing network connectivity between multiple  
computers.  
Characteristics of the Device  
This device consists of a wireless LAN card that is  
attached inside the computer via a mini-PCI slot.  
In the Ad Hoc mode, you can use the function  
supported by Microsoft Network, such as File and Print  
Sharing to exchange files and share a printer or other  
peripheral devices.  
The main characteristics are as follows:  
■
It operates in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and  
Medical (ISM) RF band; additionally, the Atheros  
wireless LAN module operates in both the 2.4 GHz  
and 5 GHz RF bands.  
To use Ad Hoc Mode, you must set the same SSID and  
the same encryption key for all the computers that are  
connected. Communication between computers in an  
Ad Hoc network will occur provided they are within  
each other’s RF coverage area.  
■
It does not require an FCC license to operate.  
■
It uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), an  
RF modulation scheme that is resistant to noise.

Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode (See Figure 2)  
number of obstructions, walls, type of construction  
material, reflective objects, etc.  
Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network in  
which devices communicate with each other by first  
going through an Access Point (AP). In infrastructure  
mode, wireless devices can communicate with each  
other or can communicate with a wired network. Most  
corporate wireless LANs operate in infrastructure mode  
because they require access to the wired LAN in order to  
use services such as file servers or printers.  
■
If the computer is unable to communicate properly,  
change the channel to be used or the installation loca-  
tion. During the use of a microwave oven or other  
equipment generating strong high-frequency energy,  
in particular, the personal computer may be highly  
susceptible to the energy and unable to communicate  
properly.  
■
Broadcast stations or wireless communication equip-  
ment that operate in the 2.4GHz or 5GHz RF Fre-  
quency band may interfere with the operation of the  
wireless LAN module. Increasing of transmit power or  
relocating Access Points may be necessary to combat  
the effects of the interference.  
How to Handle This Device

Wireless LAN Glossary  
Ad hoc  
the world. A private address is a unique address within a  
closed network.  
A designation for wireless LAN network configuration.  
It indicates a form of communication limited to those  
personal computers which have wireless LAN function.  
For details, refer to “Ad hoc connection” on page 94.  
LAN (Local Area Network)  
An environment connecting computers within a rela-  
tively small range, such as the same floor and building.  
Channel  
MAC address (Media Access Control Address)  
The frequency band of wireless LAN to be used in  
communications over wireless LAN or at the access  
point.  
A physical address inherent to a network card. For  
Ethernet, the top three bytes are controlled/assigned as a  
vendor code. The remaining three bytes comprise the  
code uniquely (to avoid duplication) controlled by each  
vendor. As a result, there is no Ethernet card with the  
same physical address in the world. In Ethernet, the  
frame transmission/reception is performed based on this  
address.  
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)  
A protocol used for automatically fetching communica-  
tion parameters such as IP addresses. The side which  
assigns IP address is called DHCP server and the side  
that is assigned it is called DHCP client.  
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)  
DNS (Domain Name System)  
The maximum size of data which can be transmitted at  
one time in networks including the Internet. In an envi-  
ronment whose maximum size of data is too large to  
correctly receive data, normal communications can be  
restored by setting the size of MTU to a smaller value.  
A function that controls the correspondence of IP  
addresses assigned to a computer with the name. Even  
for those computers whose IP addresses are unknown, if  
their names are known, it is possible to communicate  
with them.  
Network authentication  
IEEE802.11a  
The method of authentication performed by wireless  
LAN clients to connect with the access point. There are  
two types: open system authentication and shared key  
authentication. The type of authentication must be set  
to each client and also coincide with the setting of access  
point with which to communicate. Network authentica-  
tion is sometimes called authentication mode.  
One of the wireless LAN standards prescribed by the 802  
committee in charge of establishing standards of LAN  
technology in IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic  
Engineers). It allows communications at the maximum  
speed of 54 Mbps by using a 5GHz band which can  
freely be used without radio communication license.  
IEEE802.11b  
Network key  
One of the wireless LAN standards prescribed by 802  
committee in charge of establishing standards of LAN  
technology in IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic  
Engineers). It allows communications at the maximum  
speed of 11Mbps by a band of 2.4 GHz (ISM band)  
which can freely be used without radio communication  
license.  
Data that is used for encrypting data in data communi-  
cation. The personal computer uses the same network  
key both for data encryption and decryption, therefore,  
it is necessary to set the same network key as the other  
side of communication.  
Network name (SSID: Security Set Identifier)  
Access point  
When a wireless LAN network is configured, grouping is  
performed to avoid interference or data theft. This  
grouping is performed with “Network name (SSID)”. In  
order to improve security, the network key is set  
allowing no communication unless “Network name  
(SSID)” coincides with the network key.  
A designation of Wireless LAN network configurations.  
It indicates a form of communication using an Access  
Point. For details, refer to “access point connection” on  
page 94.  
IP address  
Open system authentication  
An address used by computers for communicating in  
TCP/IP environment. IP addresses have global and  
private addresses. A global address is a unique address in  
One of network authentication types for wireless LAN.  
Since there is no check of network key upon authentica-  
tion, clients can connect to the access point without

submitting correct network keys. However, in case of  
actual communications, the same network key must be  
set. Open system authentication is sometimes called  
Open key authentication.  
PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)  
A method of allowing the authentication protocol  
adopted in telephone line connection (PPP) to be used  
over an Ethernet.  
Protocol  
A procedure or rule of delivering data among  
computers. Ordered data communication is allowed by  
making all conditions required for communication  
including the method of data transmission/reception  
and actions upon communication errors into proce-  
dures.  
Shared key authentication  
One of the network authentication types for wireless  
LAN. Upon authentication, the access point checks  
whether the same network key is set to the client. If the  
client uses a wrong network key or the network key itself  
is not set, authentication is unsuccessful, allowing no  
communications with the access point.  
SSID (Security Set Identifier)  
See “Network name”  
Subnet mask  
TCP-IP network is controlled by being divided into  
multiple smaller networks (subnets). IP address consists  
of the subnet address and the address of each computer.  
Subnet mask defines how many bits of IP address  
comprise the subnet address. The same value shall be set  
among computers communicating with each other.  
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet  
Protocol)  
A standard protocol of the Internet.  
Wi-Fi  
Indicates that the interconnectivity test of the organiza-  
tion which guarantees the compatible connection of  
wireless LAN (Wi-Fi Alliance) has been passed.

IP address information  
IP addressing is much more complicated  
than can be briefly explained in this  
document. You are advised to consult with  
your network administrator for additional  
information.  
If IP address is unknown, set IP address as follows:  
If you have an access point (DHCP server) on the  
network, set the IP address as follows:  
Windows 2000: [Obtain an IP address automatically]  
Windows XP: [Obtain an IP address automatically]  
A DHCP server is a server that  
automatically assigns IP addresses to  
computers or other devices in the network.  
There is no DHCP server for the AdHoc  
network.  
If the IP address is already assigned to the computer in  
the network, ask the network administrator to check the  
IP address to be set for the computer.  
If no access point is found in the network:  
An IP address is expressed with four values in the range  
between 1 and 255.  
Set the each computer as follows: The value in paren-  
theses is a subnet mask.  
<Example>  
Computer A: 192.168.100.2 (255.255.255.0)  
Computer B: 192.168.100.3 (255.255.255.0)
