A bootable CD-ROM or DVD-ROM may have a floppy disk or hard drive format. When a bootable CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM is used, drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk for-
mat CD-ROM or DVD-ROM is used, the disc becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM or DVD-ROM will only take drive
C: (hard drive format) if the internal hard drive is not present or is disabled. The bootable CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
can never use a C: designation if a formatted internal hard drive is present since the C: designator is always
reserved for the internal hard drive.The boot sequence ignores the new drive designations, however, your applica-
tion software will use the new designations.
■
Be careful of the operating environment when booting from CD-ROM?DVD-ROM or you may mistakenly over-
write files.

the infrared ports of your system.
I/O addresses, DMA channels, and
Interrupt levels can be entered in various
ways, including via the BIOS setup utility,
the control software for the I/O device, or
the hardware. If any two ports or devices
have the same I/O address assigned your
tablet will not function normally. Please
keep a record of original settings before
making any changes in the event that a
restoration is required. See your hardware
and software documentation as well as the
setup utility to determine settings,

To prevent IRQ and address conflicts,
avoid changing the default settings. If
you must change the settings, you can
call 1-800-8Fujitsu for technical assis-
tance.

The BIOS will warn you of resource con-
flicts by placing a yellow asterisk next to
each device that is in conflict.
