Introduction
Your notebook is available in several models. Most of the sections in this manual apply to all models
- any differences are pointed out separately. The drawings in these Operating Manual may look
different from your notebook.
Innovative technology and an ergonomic design make your notebook a reliable, convenient mobile
PC.
To simplify the initial start-up of your notebook, one or two operating systems are preinstalled on the
hard disk. If two operating systems are preinstalled, you can select which of the two operating
systems you want to install during initial start-up.
The energy-saving processor and the configurable energy-saving functions allow you to make the
most effective use of the battery capacity.
Your notebook has 128 -1024 Mbyte of main memory installed, depending on the upgrade level.
Depending on the model, your notebook is delivered with a CD-ROM drive, a CD-RW drive, a DVD-
ROM drive or a combo drive (CD-RW/DVD). Two PC card slots (CardBus or PCMCIA) enable the
notebook to operate two type I or type II PC cards or one type III PC card.
Your notebook has connectors for external devices such as an external monitor or a printer. The
ECP capable parallel port is designed for fast bi-directional data transfer. You can connect
peripheral devices such as a scanner, loudspeakers, gamepads, keyboard, or mouse via the two
USB ports. In addition, your notebook is equipped with a S Video Out socket to connect to a
television.
For mouse control, the notebook has a touchpad with touchpad buttons.
An audio controller and two internal loudspeakers provide your notebook with an audio capability.
You can also connect an external microphone and an external loudspeaker. Furthermore a digital
audio output (SPDIF port) is provided. This enables you to integrate voice, sound effects and music
in your notebook environment.
The system settings of the notebook can be configured via the user-friendly System Configuration
Utility programme. Certain system settings (e.g. screen display, energy saving functions) can be
modified via various key combinations while you are using the notebook.
Your notebook has a number of security features to ensure that no unauthorised persons can
access your data. The security functions in the System Configuration Utility also allow you to protect
your data by means of passwords.
This Operating Manual tells you how to put your notebook into operation and how to operate it in
daily use.
