Restoring Your System Image and Software
It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Factory Image and Bootable Disc (along with
other applicable media such as Drivers and Applications and Restore media and application discs) before
beginning to use your system.
To do so, follow the instructions in the “Saving Your Factory Image”
and “Creating Backup Images of Factory Image, DAR, and Discs” sections of the “Saving and
Recovering Your Factory and System Images” manual that is bundled separately with your system.
Along with instructions on saving your Factory Image and other backup media, the manual outlines
several other important procedures, such as making a system image, restoring your Factory Image and
system images, managing your images, and restoring the partitions on a hard drive.
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.
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 icon does not appear in the system tray, go to [Start] -> All Programs,
and click on Fujitsu Driver Update; this will create the icon automatically.
To invoke the FDU menu, right-click on the FDU icon. The menu contains the following items:
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 you click the icon, FDU automatically 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.
