■ Disposal
● Disposal of LCD
The fluorescent tube in the LCD contains mercury. When disposing of the PC, follow your local
environmental rules and regulations.
● Disposal of battery
Since batteries are used in the PC unit, an explosion may occur if it is thrown into a fire. When
disposing of an old battery, follow your local environmental rules and regulations.
■ Power-saving function (Windows 2000 models)
Since Windows 2000 models support advanced power-saving mode (ACPI S3 mode), if you use
an internal option of peripheral (e.g. a printer or USB device) that does not support the advanced
power-saving mode, your PC may malfunction after returning from the standby mode.
In such cases, switch the standby mode from Advanced (ACPI S3) to Standard (ACPI SI).
■ USB (Windows 2000 models)
“USB” stands for “Universal Serial Bus”, which standardizes mouse, keyboard, printer, modem,
and speaker interfaces.
Point
• Some USB-compliant peripheral devices require a special device driver to be installed.
• USB is supported by Windows 2000.
• Depending on the type of a connected USB device, Windows may not be closed properly. In
this case, remove the device and close Windows.
■ When using USB devices
• To use USB devices in Safe mode, from BIOS Setup Utilities Main Menu, select [Advanced]–
[Advanced System Configuration], then [USB Legacy Support] to set this option to [Enabled].
• To use a USB keyboard on Windows 2000 models, set your PC as follows when connecting a
scroll point mouse to your PC. Note that this setting disables the scrolling feature of the mouse.
