Before Connecting Peripherals - Fujitsu LifeBook C-7651 Manual

SECTION 2

4. Before Connecting Peripherals

Here is an explanation of the basic knowledge you need before connecting peripherals.
Some changes to settings are required for certain peripherals.
You cannot use some peripherals just by connecting them to the computer. Such peripherals
require some changes to settings after connection. For example, printers and PC cards require
"driver installation" work after connecting them. Some peripherals such as a memory module
do not require such setting changes. Always consult with this manual when connecting a
peripheral to complete any settings correctly.
Refer to the manual.
Before connecting a cable, always read this manual carefully so that you can connect it
correctly. Incorrect connection of a cable could cause damage to your computer and the
peripheral device. As examples, this manual explains how to connect peripherals. When
connecting a peripheral device, however, you will need to make reference to the manual for
it besides this manual.
Use genuine products
To know about Fujitsu genuine optional devices, consult with your dealer. We cannot guarantee
the proper function of this computer when using peripherals from other sources. If it becomes
necessary to use a peripheral from another source, consult with the manufacturer of that
product.
Use peripherals that conform to ACPI standards
This computer is set to ACPI mode. Power saving and other functions may not work correctly
if a peripheral does not work in ACPI mode.
Moreover, your computer does not support the Low-Level Standby (ACPI S1) feature.
If any peripheral device used supports only the Low-Level Standby feature, don't put your
computer into standby or hibernation mode.
Notes on installation/removal
The installation of a peripheral must be done after setting up Windows. The set-up function
might not complete correctly if the peripheral is connected before setting up Windows.
Critical Point
When you connect a peripheral to a connector, make sure that the direction of the connection
is correct and connect straight.
When connecting more than one peripheral, complete the setting for each one before installing
the next.
