SECTION 2
4. Before Connecting Peripherals
Here is an explanation of the basic knowledge you need before connecting peripherals.
Some changes to settings are required for certain peripherals.
You cannot use some peripherals just by connecting them to the computer. Such peripherals
require some changes to settings after connection. For example, printers and PC cards require
“driver installation” work after connecting them. Some peripherals such as a memory module
do not require such setting changes. Always consult with this manual when connecting a
peripheral to complete any settings correctly.
Refer to the manual.
Before connecting a cable, always read this manual carefully so that you can connect it
correctly. Incorrect connection of a cable could cause damage to your computer and the
peripheral device. As examples, this manual explains how to connect peripherals. When
connecting a peripheral device, however, you will need to make reference to the manual for
it besides this manual.
Use genuine products
To know about Fujitsu genuine optional devices, consult with your dealer or use our Fax
Information Service. We cannot guarantee the proper function of this computer when using
peripherals from other sources. If it becomes necessary to use a peripheral from another
source, consult with the manufacturer of that product.
Use peripherals that conform to ACPI standards
This computer is set to ACPI mode. Power saving and other functions may not work correctly
if a peripheral does not work in ACPI mode.
Moreover, your computer does not support the Low-Level Standby (ACPI S1) feature.
If any peripheral device used supports only the Low-Level Standby feature, don’t put your
computer into standby or hibernation mode.
Notes on installation/removal
Don’t connect any optional device except a PS/2 mouse before completion of the setup of
Windows. Connecting an optional device may prevent Windows from being setup correctly.
Disconnecting the AC adapter while the battery is dead (completely exhausted) may release
the password for the one-touch buttons or modify contrast settings of the message display
area of the CoolView Panel. To avoid this, be sure to cheek the remaining battery power
before disconnecting the AC adapter.
Critical Point
When you connect a peripheral to a connector, make sure that the direction of the connection
is correct and connect straight.
When connecting more than one peripheral, complete the setting for each one before installing
the next.
