Installing a USB device
USB Devices
USB devices may be connected or removed without turning off the
computer's power.
For more detailed information, refer to the operation manual of the USB
device.
You may need to install drivers compatible with the OS you are using
for your USB devices. Follow the on-screen instructions and refer to
the operation manual for USB devices on how to install the driver.
When a USB device is connected, there are cases the standby or hiberna-
tion function will not operate in a normal manner due to the USB device. In
addition, a USB device may have to be removed temporarily and the com-
puter restarted in cases where the computer is unable to start up properly.
Some devices will not operate when connected to a USB HUB; these de-
vices must be connected directly to the USB port on your computer.
Depending on the USB device connected, the computer may not recognize
when the USB device is connected or disconnected, or the device may not
operate properly.
• In this case, select [Start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and Mainte-
nance] - [System] - [Hardware] - [Device Manager] - [Universal Serial
Bus Controllers] - [USB Root Hub] - [Power Management] and remove
the check mark from [Allow the computer to turn off this device to save
power].
When a USB device is removed and then inserted, may appear in the De-
vice Manager and the device may not be correctly recognized. If this hap-
pens, try removing and connect the device once more.
When USB devices are connected, power consumption increases. Remove
USB devices when not in use, especially when operating on battery power.

LAN 
LAN portWhen using the computer as a network computer, some additional settings may
have to be made depending on the usage conditions. We recommend asking your
system administrator or the person in charge of the network.
If you are unable to connect to the network (when the indicator of your\
 HUB unit
does not light): 1 Select [Device Manager] in [Start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and \
Main-
tenance] - [System] - [Hardware].
2 Select the network adaptor name you are using from [Network adapters].
3 Select [Advanced].
4 Confirm the settings of each item.
Connecting LAN
NOTE
1Power off your computer (  “Starting Up/Shutting Down”)
Do not shut down using the standby or hibernation function.
2Connect the cable
Connect the LAN port and the network system (server, HUB, etc.) using a LAN
cable.
CAUTION
Do not use the standby or hibernation functions during communications (\
except
when the Wake up from LAN function is in use), as this may cause an error in
data transmission or reception.  The timeout function may engage even du\
ring
data transmissions, causing the computer to automatically go into standb\
y or
hibernation mode.  When not using the Wake up from LAN function, we reco\
m-
mend disabling the timeout function using the following procedure.
[Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Options] - [Pow\
er
Schemes]

LAN 
Wake up from LAN
Be sure to connect the AC adaptor, and enable the supply of power.
Make settings to allow the use of a Local Area Network.
The computer will not “wake up” if the LAN cable is disconnected and recon-
nected.
The Wake up from LAN function will not operate under the following conditions:
When the computer has been shut down
When the power switch is pressed over for four seconds or longer to turn off
the power (e.g., when the computer hangs)
When the AC adaptor and battery pack are removed from the computer or
reattached to the computer
This works irrespective of the [Wake up from LAN] setting of the Setup Utility.
After operations are resumed from standby status, the screen remains dark.
The former screen display will be restored when the keyboard or touchscreen
is touched.
The computer may start up if accessed by another computer on the network.
The following procedure can be used to prevent startup due to unintentional
access by a computer.
1Select [Start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [System]
- [Hardware] - [Device Manager] - [Network adapters], then select the net-
work adaptor name you are using, and then select [Power Management].
2Add the check mark for [Only allow management stations to bring the com-
puter out of standby], then select [OK].
NOTE
This is a function of the internal LAN to automatically power the computer on from a
network server when the computer is in the standby or hibernation mode.  To use this
function, it is necessary to have a network environment that accommodates Wake
up from LAN.
Enabling the Wake up from LAN Function
1Select [Device Manager] in [Start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and Mainte-
nance] - [System] - [Hardware].
2Select the network adaptor name you are using from [Network adapters].
3Select [Power Management], add the check mark for [Allow the computer to
turn off this device to save power] and [Allow this device to bring the computer
out of standby], then select [OK].
4Delete the check mark for [Prompt for password when computer resumes from
standby] in [Start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power
