LCD screenInformation on LCD screenLCDscreen:Notes:

High-quality TFT displays with especially bright background lighting are installed innotebooks from Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH. For technical reasons, TFT monitorsare manufactured for a specific resolution. An optimal, clear picture can only be ensuredin the resolution intended for the particular TFT monitor. A monitor resolution whichdiffers from the specification can result in an unclear picture.

The monitor resolution is understood to be the number of horizontal and vertical pixels (i.e. pictureelements) which make up the monitor display. For example, "UXGA" stands for 1600 x 1200pixels. Each pixel consists of three so-called subpixels of the colours red, green and blue.As a result, a UXGA monitor consists of 1600 x 1200 x 3 = 5.760.000 subpixels.

Frequently used monitor resolutions Number of pixelsXGA 1024 x 768WSXGA (Wide SXGA) 1600 x 900 (16:9 monitor)

1600 x 1024 (16:10 monitor)WSXGA+ (Wide SXGA plus) 1680 x 1050WXGA 1024 x 600SXGA 1280 x 1024SXGA+ 1400 x 1050UXGA 1600 x 1200WUXGA 1920 x 1200

The correct screen resolution for your notebook can be found under "Technical Data" in the EasyGuide.

Permanently unlit or lit pixelsThe standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screendisplay. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted numberof pixels faults is stipulated in the strict international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II).

Example:

A 15" LCD screen monitor with a resolution of 1024 x 768 has 1024 x 768 = 786432 pixels. Eachpixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 2.4 million subpixels intotal. According to ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 4 pixels and 5 subpixels may be defective,i.e. a total of 17 defective subpixels. That is approx. 0.0007 % of the entire set of subpixels!

Pixel A pixel consists of 3 subpixels, normally red, green and blue. A pixel isthe smallest element that can be generated by complete functionalityof the display.

Subpixel A subpixel is a separately addressable internal structure within a pixelthat enhances the pixel function.

Cluster (= group of faults) A cluster contains two or more defective pixels or subpixels in a 5 x 5pixel block.

SmartCard reader (optional)Securityfunctions,Securityfunctions,

SmartCards are not supplied as standard equipment. You can use all SmartCards that comply withthe ISO standard 7816-1, -2 or -3. These SmartCards are available from various manufacturers.

With the appropriate software you can use your SmartCard as an alternative to password protection,but also as a digital signature, for encrypting your e-mails or for home banking.

We recommend that you always use two SmartCards. Always keep one of the SmartCardsin a safe place if you are carrying the other SmartCard with you.

The SmartCard can only be used with a PIN so protection is maintainedeven when the SmartCard is lost. The SICRYPT SmartCard, that is includedin the "Mobile Secure IT Suite", is locked after an incorrect PIN is inputthree times, to ensure maximum security for you.

The first time you use your SmartCard you must enter the preset PIN providedby the SmartCard manufacturer or your system administrator.

Inserting the SmartCardDo not use force when inserting and removing the SmartCard.

Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the SmartCard reader.

Slide the SmartCard into the SmartCardreader with the chip facing upwards and tothe front.

When the SmartCard is properly inserted, itprotrudes by approximately 1.5 cm.

Application examplesSmartCard as device protectionAfter you insert the SmartCard, you are prompted in the logon screen to enter your PIN. Uponcorrect entry the SmartCard is checked and the operating system is booted.

The SmartCard remains in the SmartCard reader during the entire work session.

Trusted Platform Module (optional)This module only has to be installed with Windows XP. TPM is alreadyintegrated with Windows Vista.

TPMTrustedPlatformModule

To use the TPM, you must activate the TPM in the BIOS Setup before the software isinstalled. The condition for this is that you have assigned at least the supervisor password(see "Setting the supervisor and user password", Page 32).

Call up the BIOS Setup and select the Security menu. For Embedded Security Chip , select the entry Enabled to activate the TPM. Once you have activated the TPM the Clear Security Chip option appears.

You can use this menu item to delete the holder in the TPM. However, you can thenno longer access the data you have encrypted on the holder-based keys.

On the supplied TPM software CD/DVD you will find software that, in conjunction withthe TPM, enhances the security of your system. Information on using the TPM and therelated software is provided on the TPM software CD/DVD.

If you use TPM and the software on the TPM software CD/DVD, we stronglyrecommend that you use the emergency restoration function and create a medium(e.g. floppy disk, network drive) for restoration in emergencies.

The emergency restore medium is the only way to access your encrypted dataif a security key is lost due to hardware faults for example.

When the TPM is activated, it initially takes control of the notebook during each start-up to check allhardware components and the BIOS Setup for trustworthiness. In the further course of operation,the TPM checks the operating system, certain drivers and applications. Should a component nothave a valid certificate, the TPM refuses this component access to protected content.

For example, with the TPM activated, data can be generated which can only be read or run on thisdevice. Support for security protocols, such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer) for Internet connections,IPSec (LAN encryption), S-MIME (e-mail encryption, WLAN encryption and others) is also possible.
