Unpack the Laptop from its carry sleeve and use the included power cable to
charge as shown below:
Note: Laptops come with both power adapters and electrical plugs. If you are
travelling to a country which uses a different power supply (110V as opposed to
220V), you will need only a different electrical plug which fits the wall socket of
the country to which you are travelling. These country specific plugs can be
purchased at electronics stores or at most airports. The power adapter acts as an
electrical converter for both voltages.
Note: All Senior School
class rooms will be
equipped with a power
adapter for your use.

Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network
Wi-FiatSchool
The Laptop should automatically pick up and connect to the school’s Wi-Fi
network but if it does not, please follow the directions below and choose the
network called ISB-NET. The School also has an ISB-Guest-NET network set up for
visiting guests to use. Do not use the ISB-Guest-Net network as it will not permit
you access to the school’s shared drives and will cause connection problems
next time you try to connect.
If, while at School, the Wi-Fi connection is lost, a network cable must be used to
gain access to the system. There are certain areas within School which have
limited Wi-Fi access (i.e. NEO and the Drama room).
Before moving out of a Wi-Fi area, ensure that all
PASS transactions have been updated. PASS
transactions (i.e. attendance) which have not
been concluded prior to losing the Wi-Fi
connection will be lost.
Wi-FiatHomeorontheGo
If you are connecting to a Wireless (Wi-Fi) network, click on the network icon in
the notification area at the bottom of your screen to see all the available
connections where you are located and the signal strength of each.
Next, click on the network to which you would like to
connect.
It is imperative that all PASS
transactions are concluded while still
connected to the network!
Publicly available Wi-Fi networks are
known as Hotspots. Some of these
networks do not require a password
and are free to use while others require
a subscription.

Wi-FiatHomeorontheGo(continued)
After selecting Connect, the computer will start checking the wireless network for
security information. Ensure Connect automatically is ticked for future automatic
connection. If the network system is not open and requires a password, a panel
will pop up where the security key can be entered; ticking the Hide characters box
will only show dots instead of your security key. You may also press a Connect
button on some home DSL boxes that will automatically populate the security
key. If the network is open, this panel will not pop up and will go directly to the
next step.
Once the security key has been successfully entered, the below panel will pop up
for you to define the type of network; choose from the choices provided (Home,
Work or Public).

Using thePort Replicator
There will be a port replicator (image below) in each classroom equipped with
either a ceiling beamer or an interactive whiteboard. The port replicator will
provide sound and video connections and is connected to the Laptop via a USB
cable. The port replicator will not function properly if the electrical connection is
not plugged in.
DVD Drives
DVD drives will be attached to port replicators in rooms equipped with interactive
whiteboards only. These DVD drives are configured as CODE 2 and can play most
European DVDs. If a CODE 1 DVD drive is required, please request one from the
Helpdesk.
Note: When using an
external video display, be
sure to disable the
automatic E-mail alerts.
Important: The DVD drive is
powered through your Laptop
and NOT through the port
replicator. Therefore, the DVD
must be removed from the drive
prior to disconnecting the Laptop
from the port replicator.

Do’s and Don’ts
Don’t continually charge the laptop battery when not in use. Unplug the
electrical adapter from the wall outlet when the laptop is shut down.
Don’t leave the laptop on/running when not in use for long periods; turn
the laptop off (shutdown) when work is completed to help conserve the
electrical components.
Shut down laptop when leaving the campus –at the end of the day or
when travelling to another campus.
Don’t leave the laptop in direct sunlight or in a dusty location.
Don’t lay your laptop on any cloth material when in use, e.g. bed spread,
duvet, blanket, etc. as the computer will suck in dust and lent into the fan
motor; it is best if you rest the laptop on a solid surface so there is
ventilation on the underside.
Don’t eat or drink when working on the laptop.
Gently clean your laptop monitor with a cloth if dusty; spray class cleaner
on the cloth instead of the monitor to avoid damage to the monitor.
The same goes for cleaning the keyboard; be gentle as the cloth could get
caught on the corner of a key and pull it off.
To avoid possible damage, it is best to put the laptop away in a safe and
protected location when finished working.
It is not recommended to exchange SD cards between personal
computers and the ISB laptop; we had several cases where personal
computers had a virus and all the SD card data was corrupted.
Don’t pile heavy objects on top of your laptop or press down on the
laptop to prevent damage to the monitor. The same applies to packing
your laptop into a backpack with many items.
When carrying the laptop, i.e. from class to class, close the laptop lid to
help prevent dropping the computer.
