FCC Notices Notice to Users of Radios and Television These limits are designed to provide reasonable protec- tion against harmful interference in a residential installa- tion. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partic- ular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: I Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. I Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. I Connect the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit than the receiver. I Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Shielded interconnect cables must be employed with this equipment to ensure compliance with the pertinent RF emission limits governing this device. Notice to Users of the US Telephone Network Your LifeBook notebook may be supplied with an internal modem which complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On this notebook is a label that contains the FCC Registration Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment among other infor- mation. If requested, the user must provide their tele- phone company with the following information: 1. The telephone number to which the LifeBook note- book is connected. 2. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. 3. That the equipment requires a standard modular jack type USOC RJ-11C which is FCC Part 68 compliant. 4. The FCC Registration Number. This equipment is designed to be connected to the tele- phone network or premises wiring using a standard modular jack type USOC RJ-11C which is FCC Part 68 compliant and a line cord between the modem and the telephone network with a minimum of 26AWG. The REN is used to determine the number of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. Too many devices on one line may result in failure to ring in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all of the devices should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the RENs, contact your local telephone company. If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical they will notify you as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. This fax modem also complies with fax branding requirements per FCC Part 68. Your telephone company will probably ask you to disconnect this equipment from the telephone network until the problem is corrected and you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning. This equipment may not be used on coin-operated telephones provided by your telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. Contact your state’s public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for more information. This equipment includes automatic dialing capability. When programming and/or making test calls to emergency numbers: I Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call. I Perform such activities in off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening. FCC rules prohibit the use of non-hearing aid compatible telephones in the following locations or applications: I All public or semipublic coin-operated or credit card telephones. I Elevators, highways, tunnels (automobile, subway, railroad or pedestrian) where a person with impaired hearing might be isolated in an emergency. I Places where telephones are specifically installed to alert emergency authorities such as fire, police or medical assistance personnel. I Hospital rooms, residential health care facilities, convalescent homes and prisons. I Workstations for the hearing impaired. I Hotel, motel or apartment lobbies. I Stores where telephones are used by patrons to order merchandise. I Public transportation terminals where telephones are used to call taxis or to reserve lodging or rental cars. I In hotel and motel rooms as at least ten percent of the rooms must contain hearing aid compatible tele- phones or jacks for plug-in hearing aid compatible telephones which will be provided to hearing impaired customers on request. C A U T I O N Changes or modification not expressly approved by Fujitsu PC Corporation could void this user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Figure 2-13 Keyboard Keyboard USING THE KEYBOARD Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has an integral 82-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 2-13) I 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. I 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. I 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. I 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. NUMERIC KEYPAD Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys. NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] keys. Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way. Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0 through 9, perform addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ), multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal points ( . ) using the keys designated as ten-key function keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the front edge of the key to indicate their secondary functions. (Figure 2-13) Fn Key Start Key Function Keys Numeric Keypad Application Key Cursor Keys P O I N T If you are using the optional external numerical keypad, pressing the [NumLk] key will activate the external key- pad. The indicator will come on, however it will not change any of the functionality of your keyboard keys.

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 2-13) 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 2-13) FUNCTION KEYS Your LifeBook notebook has 12 function keys, F1 through F12. The functions assigned to these keys differ for each application. You should refer to your software docu-mentation to find out how these keys are used. (Figure 2-13) The [FN] key provides extended functions for the notebook and is always used in conjunction with another key. I [FN+F3]: Pressing [F3] while holding [FN] will toggle the Audio Mute on and off. I [FN+F4]: Pressing [F4] while holding [FN] will toggle the Glide Point feature on and off. I [FN+F5]: Pressing [F5] while holding [FN] allows you to toggle between video compensation and no compensation. (Video compensation controls spacing on the display. When it is enabled, displays with less than 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600 pixel resolution will still cover the entire screen.)

Figure 2-14 Touchpad pointing device Touchpad Pointing Device 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 2-14) CLICKING 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 immedi- ately 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 2-15) Figure 2-15 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 2-16) Figure 2-16 Double-clicking Cursor Cursor Control Left Button Right Button Scroll Button P O I N T An external mouse can be connected to either the USB or PS/2 port on your LifeBook notebook or port replica- tor, and used simultaneously with the Touchpad. How- ever, 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 33 for more informa- tion) P O I N T If the interval between clicks is too long, the double- click will not be executed.

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 2-17) Figure 2-17 Dragging TOUCHPAD CONTROL ADJUSTMENT The Windows Control Panel allows you to customize your Touchpad with selections made from within the Mouse Properties dialog box. SCROLLING 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 2-18) Figure 2-18 Scrolling P O I N T Parameters for the Touchpad can be adjusted from the Mouse Properties dialog box located in the Windows Control Panel.

Volume Control Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume controls which interact with each other. CONTROLLING THE VOLUME The volume can be controlled in several different ways: I Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on the Taskbar. I Volume can be controlled with the F8 and F9 func- tions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [FN] will decrease the volume of your notebook. Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [FN] will increase the volume of your notebook. I Volume can be controlled by many volume controls that are set within individual applications. I 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. We recommend that you experiment with the various volume controls to discover the optimal sound level. P O I N T 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. P O I N T There are seventeen levels through which the function keys cycle.

(Figure 2-22) PASSWORDS The user and supervisor password may be set on this notebook. A supervisor password is typically the same for all LifeBook notebooks in a working group, office, or company to allow for system management. Individual LifeBook notebooks in a group environment should not use a common password. A password consists of one to five button strokes plus the enter button. A valid stroke consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simulta- neously. The following are valid button strokes: I Pushing [4] by itself I Pushing [2] and [3] at the same time I Pushing [1], [2], and [4] at the same time I Pushing [1], [2], [3], and [4] at the same time The following are valid passwords. The numbers within braces ({ }) are button strokes using more than one button. I {[2]+[3]}, [1], [enter] I [4], [enter] I {[1]+[3]}, {[2]+[3]+[4]}, [1], [4], [2], [enter] Setting Passwords When shipped from the factory, no passwords are set. You have a choice of having no password or setting a supervisor and user password. You must set the super- visor password before the user password. Security/Application Launcher buttons (for entering password and launching applications) Security Indicator Enter Button P O I N T The purpose of supervisor password is to be able to bypass the user password in case the user password is forgotten. The supervisor password alone will not lock the system.

Setting Supervisor Password You must have set a supervisor password before setting any user passwords. The supervisor password can bypass the user password. 1. Go to the Start menu. 2.

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. 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. SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON When your LifeBook notebook is active, the Suspend/ Resume button can be used to manually put your note- book into Suspend mode. Push the 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 2-5 on page 6 for location) If your LifeBook notebook is suspended, pushing the Suspend/Resume button will return your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in Suspend mode by looking at the Power indi- cator. (See figure 2-5 on page 6) If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the power is off or your notebook is in Save-to-Disk mode. (See Save-to-Disk Mode) SUSPEND MODE 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: I Pressing the Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on. I Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu. I Timing out from lack of activity. I Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition. Your LifeBook notebook’s system memory typically stores the file(s) on which you are working, open applica- tion(s) information, and any other data required to support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation from Suspend mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your notebook will not resume. P O I N T If you are running your LifeBook notebook 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 operational. P O I N T Disabling the Suspend/Resume button prevents it from being used to put your LifeBook notebook in Sus- pend or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode. The resume function of the button cannot be disabled. C A U T I O N The Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode should not be used with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documentation for more information. When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Hiberna- tion (Save-to-Disk) mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspension, because all of the peripheral devices will be re-initialized when the system restarts. P O I N T If your LifeBook notebook is actively accessing informa- tion 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 Sus- pend mode or the memory is transferred to the internal hard drive during Hibernation mode.

HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) FEATURE The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your LifeBook notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature. Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature The default settings is not enabled. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these easy steps: 1. From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select Control Panel. 2. From the Control Panel select Power Options. 3. Select the Hibernation tab. Select the box to enable or disable this feature. Using the Hibernation Feature 1. From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select Control Panel. 2. From the Control Panel select Power Options. 3. Select the Advanced tab. Select Hibernate from the pull down menu for Power buttons. STANDBY MODE Standby mode is one of the power management parame- ters. When Standby mode is activated, your LifeBook notebook shuts off the display and turns off the hard drive when there is no activity (keystroke, pointer action, sound generation, video display change, modem transmission or reception, etc.) on your notebook for the user selected time-out period. Any activity will cause your notebook to return to normal operation automati- cally. This feature is independent of the Suspend/ Resume button. DISPLAY TIMEOUT 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 Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 33 for more information) 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 Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 33 for more information) WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT Power Management The Power Management icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Management to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters. The settings may also be changed in the BIOS. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 33 for more information) RESTARTING THE SYSTEM If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure. 1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down. 2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box. 3. Click OK to restart your notebook. Your notebook will shut down and then reboot. P O I N T The main advantage of using the 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. P O I N T Windows 98 systems only: Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode requires allocating a significant amount of hard drive capacity for saving all system memory, which reduces your usable disk space. When you purchase your LifeBook notebook it will have space allocated for the memory installed. If you upgrade the original system by adding a memory upgrade module without changing the size of your Save-to-Disk allocation you will get an error message when you try to activate Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode and it will not work. In Windows 98 Second Edition, use the PHDISK Utility to increase the size of the Save-to-Disk file, SAVE2DSK.BIN. You can download the Save-to-Disk File Allocation information from our Web site at www.fujitsupc.com. If you need help, contact your support representative. P O I N T Turning off your LifeBook notebook without exiting Windows or turning on your notebook within 10 sec- onds of the notebook being shut off may cause an error when you start the next time.

POWER OFF Before turning off the power by choosing Shut Down from the Windows 98 Second Edition or 2000 Professional Start menu, check that the Hard Drive, DVD, CD-ROM, CD-RW, PC Card and the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicators are all Off. (See figure 2-5 on page 6) If you turn off the power while accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your notebook shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down procedure. 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: 1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down. 2. Select the Shut Down option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box. 3. Click OK to shut down your notebook. 4. Move the power switch to the off position. If you are going to store your notebook for a month or more see Care and Maintenance Section. C A U T I O N Be sure to close all files, exit all applications, and shut down your operating system prior to turning off the power with the power switch. If files are open when you turn the power off, you will lose any changes that have not been saved, and may cause disk errors.

Lithium ion Battery Your Fujitsu 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 operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions: I 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 Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temp- erature range. (See Battery Charging Indicators on page 14 for more information) I When using a high current device such as a modem, DVD, CD-ROM, CD-RW drive, or the hard drive, using the AC adapter will conserve your battery life. RECHARGING THE BATTERIES 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. 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. 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 36 for more information on Suspend mode and shutdown procedure) Low Battery State 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. 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 C A U T I O N S I Actual battery life will vary based on screen bright- ness, applications, features, power management set- tings, battery condition and other customer preferences.DVD, CD-RW, CD-ROM, 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. I Under federal, state, or local law it may be illegal to dispose of batteries by putting them in the trash. Please take care of our environment and dispose of batteries properly. Check with your local government authority for details regarding recycling or disposing of old batteries. If you cannot find this information elsewhere, contact your support representative at 1- 800-8FUJITSU (1-800-838-5487) I Do not leave a faulty battery in your LifeBook note- book. It may damage your AC adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter, another battery or your note- book itself. It may also prevent operation of your notebook by draining all available current into the bad battery. P O I N T Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator and the percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon on the Status Indicator Panel. C A U T I O N Using heavy current devices such as Modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM accesses may prevent charging completely. C A U T I O N S I Once the low battery notification message appears, you need to save all your active data and put your LifeBook notebook into Suspend mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide a charged battery, an AC power adapter, or Auto/Air- line adapter as soon as possible. I When you are in Suspend mode there must always be at least one power source active.

If you can find no reference to the message and its meaning is not clear, contact your support representative for assistance. nnnn Cache SRAM Passed Where nnnn is the amount of system cache in kilobytes success-fully tested by the Power On Self Test. (This can only appear if you have an SRAM PC Card installed.) *Diskette drive A error or Diskette drive B error Drive A: or B: is present but fails the BIOS Power On Self Test diskette tests. Check to see that the drive is defined with the proper diskette type in the Setup Utility, (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 33 for more information) and that the diskette drive is installed correctly. If the disk drive is properly defined and installed, avoid using it and contact your support representative. *Extended RAM Failed at offset: nnnn Extended memory not working or not configured prop- erly. If you have an installed memory upgrade module, verify that the module is properly installed. If it is prop- erly installed, you may want to check your Windows Setup to be sure it is not using unavailable memory until you can contact your support representative. nnnn Extended RAM Passed Where nnnn is the amount of memory in kilobytes successfully tested. *Failing Bits: nnnn The hex number nnnn This is a map of the bits at the memory address (in System, Extended, or Shadow memory) which failed the memory test. Each 1 (one) in the map indicates a failed bit. This is a serious fault that may cause you to lose data if you continue. Contact your support representative. *Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk Controller Failure (where x = 1-4) The fixed disk is not working or not configured properly. This may mean that the hard drive type identified in your setup utility does not agree with the type detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to check for the hard drive type settings and correct them if necessary. If the settings are OK and the message appears when you restart the system, there may be a serious fault which might cause you to lose data if you continue. Contact your support representative. *Incorrect Drive A type – run SETUP Type of floppy drive A: not correctly identified in Setup. This means that the floppy disk drive type identified in your setup utility does not agree with the type detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to correct the inconsistency. *Incorrect Drive B type – run SETUP Type of floppy drive B: not correctly identified in Setup. This means that the floppy disk drive type identified in your setup utility does not agree with the type detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to correct the inconsistency. *Invalid NVRAM media type Problem with NVRAM access. In the unlikely case that you see this message you may have some display prob- lems.

Restoring Your Pre-installed Software Your system has been loaded with a valuable utility that allows you to restore your LifeBook notebook disk drive contents as they were originally shipped from the factory. Most often this is necessary if files or software programs (only those files/programs that came pre- installed) become corrupt or accidentally erased. 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 that was 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 shipped from Fujitsu. Although it is not necessary, you can use DISE to store an additional image file 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 disk. Then, in the event of a hard disk failure, you can restore the image that includes the applications and data files you use. Fujitsu recommends that you create a DISE disk as a “rescue disk.” If your computer fails, you can boot and run DISE from the rescue disk. Creating Drive Image SE Diskettes Note: You can use a DISE disk to boot your machine and run DISE if your machine is unbootable or if you do not have access to Windows. Insert a formatted floppy disk in your machine. From the Drive Image Special Edition main window, click Options > Create Drive Image SE Diskette. Running DISE from Diskettes 1. Insert the Drive Image SE Disk 1 in the floppy drive. 2. Reboot your computer. 3. Insert Disk 2, type DISE, then press . 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. 1. At the Drive Image Special Edition main screen, click Options> Create New Backup. There is also a button on the main DISE screen that performs the same function. 2. You will be prompted to type a password. Type a password (or leave the password fields blank), then click OK. 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. 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. 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. 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. 1. Disable virus protection software in the BIOS. If virus protection software is enabled, DISE will hang. 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. DISE shuts down to DOS and restores the image file. Drivers and Applications Restore CD 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. Please refer to installa- tion instructions located in the Drivers and Applications Restore CD. P O I N T Using the DISE feature will reduce the amount of usable disk space on your hard disk drive. P O I N T Look for and open files with the extensions .DOC .PDF and/or .TXT.
