Removing the Battery

To avoid data loss, turn the system power off when removing or replacing the battery. For details on removing and replacing the battery, see the NEC Versa VX User’s Guide.

Mini-PCI FCC Registration Numbers

If your system has a built-in Mini-PCI modem, the FCC registration number of your system is H8NTAI-34309-M5-E REN 0.4. If your system has a built-in Mini-PCI LAN/modem, the FCC registration number of your system is 2U6MLA-34036-M5-E REN 0.5A.

Using Wake on Ring

The Wake on Ring feature, waking the system when the modem detects a ring, is only supported by the mini-PCI modem.

Using Windows 2000

Be sure to read the following sections when using Windows 2000 on your NEC Versa VX.

Rebooting Your Versa VX System

When you reboot your NEC Versa VX running the Windows 2000 operating system, the following warning message appears:

Invalid Hibernation Partition….run HDPREPEZ or AMI Save to File Utility

Ignore this warning message. It is not necessary to run HDPREPEZ or the AMI Save to File utility in the Windows 2000 environment. To disable this warning message, you must disable the Auto Save-To-File parameter in the system’s BIOS utility.

Follow these steps to disable the Auto Save-To-File parameter:

1.Reboot your system and press F2 to enter the BIOS Setup utility.

2.Use the Up and Down arrow keys to highlight and select the Power Management Setup menu.

3.Highlight Auto Save-To-File and use the PgDn or Fn and Up and Down arrow keys to change the setting to Disabled.

4.Press Esc to exit the Power Management Setup menu.

5.Press F10 to save your settings and exit the BIOS Setup utility.

Conserving Battery Power

In the Windows 2000 environment, the default setting for a critical low battery state is Standby. Standby does not power down your system to conserve battery power.

NECC recommends that you change the Windows 2000 Standby default setting for a critical low battery to Hibernate to prevent data loss during battery-powered system operation.

The power management state Hibernate or Save-To-File (STF) saves the system’s current working environment to the system’s hard drive, then powers down the system to conserve battery power. You can configure your power management settings to enter hibernation when your system reaches a critical low battery state.
