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 [Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings].
For more detailed information, please refer to Windows help.
This is all you need to do to correctly setup your LAN.
Remote Power On (WoL - Wake on LAN) can allow you to do the following.
• Remotely turn your computer on after the power is 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.
Do not use this operation if the external display is not connected.

Double click [Network adapter], and double click the displayed LAN adapter.
Check the following items in the [Power Management] tab.
• [Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.]
• [Allow this device to wake the computer.]
• [Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer.]

This is all you need to do to correctly setup network booting.
• In order to enable WoL, it is necessary to install special software on the
administrator's PC to allow sending of Magic Packets.
• When using the WoL, disable the "Fast Startup" function. For more detailed
information, please refer to "Disabling the "Fast Startup" function" (p.24).
• It is not possible to use WoL in cases where the previous system shutdown (power 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 hibernation or turned off.

Data can be deleted from the computer's hard disk.
Data written to the hard disk can be removed using the [Recycle Bin] or by
formatting the computer to the original state.
Selecting this menu will remove hard disk data that cannot be removed by hard disk
formatting of operation system standard, and the removed data will not be easily
recovered with recovery tools. Format the hard disk 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 (3times erasure)
Deletes data from the hard disk in a method compliant to the U.S. Department of
Defense NSA Standard. The data is deleted effectively by writing random data 1,
then random data 2, then "00" data 3 times in order and then deleting it 3 times.
However, since the data is written 3 times, it takes 3 times longer than simple
mode for deletion to be completed.
•DoD-introduced mode (3times erasure + Verify)
Deletes data from the hard disk in a method compliant to the U.S. Department of
Defense 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 the data is written and verified 3 times, it takes 4
times or longer than when in simple mode.
By using this method it is not guaranteed that the data cannot be completely
recovered.

Recovery
Here we will explain the basics before recovery. Please read this before performing
recovery.
When recovering from a DVD, the following materials are required. Prepare all of the
materials before starting the process.
• Recovery Disc
Before recovery, if there is data that you would like to maintain, make a backup of
the data and then perform recovery.
Once recovery is performed, all the settings including system configuration will be
reset to the factory default settings. If you would like to use the current settings again
after recovery, such as BIOS setup utility settings and network settings, make a note of
the current settings.
Before recovery, please be sure to load the factory default settings for the BIOS
setup utility.
Follow the following precautions during recovery.
Follow the steps in the manual and on the recovery screen
During recovery, be sure to follow the steps in this manual and on the recovery screen.
Missing a step, pressing a key other than the indicated key, or changing the procedure
may result in improper recovery.
Turn ON the wireless LAN function
Confirm that the wireless LAN function is ON. If it is turned off, please turn it back on
before recovery.
Disconnect peripheral devices
Disconnect peripheral devices to return to the state at time of purchase (excluding
the optical drive used for recovery).
Turning on the power
Please wait at least five seconds before turning the power on again. If the power
shutdown resulted from removing the power cord plug from the AC outlet or a
tripped circuit breaker, please wait for at least 90 seconds with the power cord
unplugged from the AC outlet, reconnect the power cord plug to the AC outlet, and
then turn the power on again.
Do not interrupt recovery
Do not interrupt the recovery process once it has started. The setup program is
running normally even if the screen appears to stop, so please wait without
interrupting the recovery. If you interrupt, the recovery may not be performed
correctly, so you have to start over from the beginning.
Recovery Basics
Required Materials
The Recovery Disc is not included with model VC26M/C-H.
Backup Data from the Hard Disk
For multi-user computers, each user should logon and make personal backups.
Maintain System Settings
Returning the BIOS Utility Settings to the Original Values
If you are using the security chip function on the VG26M/C-H, be sure to initialize the
security chip using the BIOS setup utility before the computer recovery.
For the security chip initialization, please refer to "Before sending your computer for
repair" (p.16).
Precautions during Recovery
• Recovery cannot be performed via battery power. Please be sure to connect the AC
adapter and connect the power cord to the AC outlet.
• If you are using model VG26M/C-H, you can carry out the setup process again only
by using the "Recovery Disc".
• If you are using model VC26M/C-H, you can carry out the setup process again only
by using the "Recovery Drive".
If the computer's LAN cable is connected, disconnect it before recovery.
