LAN Function
This section covers important points and the correct procedure for setting up the
LAN (Local Area Network) function.
The following provides a simple explanation about how to perform network setup in
order to connect to a LAN.
Network connection settings can be changed by going to the [Control Panel] and
clicking [Network and Internet] [View network status and tasks] [Change adapter
settings].
For more detailed information, please refer to Windows help.
The following step allows you to change settings such as the computer name.
You can change settings related to the connected network and change the name of
your computer as it is displayed on the network by opening the [Control Panel] and
clicking [System and Security] [System], and then selecting [Change settings] under

Remote Power On (WoL - Wake on LAN) (hereinafter referred to as "Wol") can allow you
to do the following.
• Remotely turn your computer on after the power is turned off.
• Remotely wake up your computer after sleep or hibernate.
If you configure your computer to allow WoL, the LAN adapter stays active, even when
the computer power is off.
A special packet (Magic Packet) that instructs your computer to turn on can be
transmitted from a remote administrator's PC. When this packet is received by the
computer's dedicated controller, it triggers the power to be turned on.
This allows you to be able to remotely turn your computer's power on or wake it up from
sleep or hibernate from an administrator's PC when your computer has a LAN
connection.
The following steps can be used to configure your computer to allow WoL from when
the power is turned off.
1Turn the power on and immediately press <F2> key several times.
The BIOS setup utility will then be displayed.
2In [Network] of the [Config] menu, set [Wake On LAN] to [AC Only] or [AC

off, sleep, or hibernate) was not correctly completed. If this is the case, please turn
the power back on, restart Windows, and once again perform a system shutdown
using the correct procedure.
• WoL cannot be used with a hub that only supports a speed of 1000 Mbps. Please
use a hub that supports 10M/100M/1000M Auto-negotiation.
• When using WoL, please ensure that the AC adapter is plugged into your computer
when in the sleep, hibernation, or power-off state.

7When the restart prompt is displayed, remove the "Application Disc" from
the optical drive, follow the instructions on the screen, and then restart the
computer.
Following the above steps will complete the reinstallation of "Battery Tool".
Data can be deleted from the hard disk on the computer.
The data written to the hard disk once may be able to be removed from [Recycle Bin] or
restored by formatting the computer to the original state.
Selecting this menu will remove data on the hard disk that cannot be removed by hard
disk formatting of operation system standard, and the removed data will not be easily
recovered with recovery tools. Use this function before transferring or disposing of the
computer.
Data can be deleted from the computer in the following 3 ways.
• Simple mode (1 time erasure)
Overwrites "00" data entirely from the hard disk.
• NSA-introduced mode (3 times erasure)
Deletes data from the hard disk in a method compliant to the U.S. Department of
Defense NSA Standard. The data is deleted by replacing it with random data 1, then
random data 2, then "00" data. Deleting the data 3 times ensures more secure
deletion. However, since the data is written 3 times, it takes 3 times longer than
simple mode for deletion to be completed.
• DoD-introduced mode (3 times erasure + Verify)
Deletes data from the hard disk in a method compliant to the U.S. Department of
Defense DoD Standard. "00", "FF", and "random value" is written in order, and verifies
that the final random data is written correctly. Effective deletion is performed by
deleting 3 times. However, since a verification is conducted after the data has been
written 3 times, it takes 4 times longer than simple mode for deletion to be
completed.
By using this method it is not guaranteed that the data on the hard disk cannot be
completely recovered.
1Turn the power on and immediately press <F2> key several times.
The BIOS setup utility will then be started.
2When the BIOS setup utility is displayed, insert the "Recovery Disc 1" into

10 When [Starting to erase HDD data. Is it ok?] is displayed, click [Yes].
11 When [Completed.] is displayed, click [OK].
12 Remove "Recovery Disc 1" from the optical drive and click [Exit Recovery].
13 When [Recovery will be exited. Are you sure to continue?] is displayed,
click [Yes].
Following the above steps will complete the data deletion process on the hard disk.
If the prompt is not displayed, remove the "Application Disc" from the optical drive
and restart Windows.
