Technical Information
Network
When the power saving function is running, communications software may malfunction.
For example, communications may be halted if the standby (hibernation) mode is acti-
vated. The computer must be restarted if one of these modes is entered during data
communications.
Be sure that the power of the display is cut (for energy conservation purposes) or the
computer enters standby (hibernation) mode after the communications software is closed.
Windows 2000
When network or communication software is to be used, set [Turn off monitor], [Turn off
hard disks], [System standby] and [System hibernates] (in [Start] - [Settings] - [Control
Panel] - [Power Options]) to [Never].
Windows XP
When network or communication software is to be used, set [Turn off monitor], [Turn off
hard disks], [System standby] and [System hibernates] (in [Start] - [Control Panel] -
[Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Options]) to [Never].
Windows Security Function
Windows has a security function that differs from the security function of the Setup
Utility. For detailed information, refer to the Windows help.
Set the password for secrecy and protection.
Only an account for the Administrator is created the first time the computer is
started. Create accounts for person or persons who are actually going to use a
computer.
We recommend using an NTFS file system in order to use the Windows security
function.
