This chapter describes the basic operations of your computer and highlights the precautions that should be taken when using it.

Using the Touch Pad

To use the Touch Pad, simply touch and move your fingertip across it in the direction you want the on-screen pointer to go.
1. Touchpad 2. Touchpad buttons
Figure 4-1 Touch Pad and Touch Pad control buttons
The two buttons below the Touch Pad are used like the buttons on a standard mouse - press the left button to select a menu item or to manipulate text or graphics designated by the pointer, and press the right button to display a menu or other function depending on the software you are using. You can also tap the Touch Pad to perform functions similar to those of the left button on a standard mouse. Click: Tap once Double-click: Tap twice Drag and drop: Tap to select the item(s) you want to move, leave your finger on the Touch Pad after the second tap and then move the item(s) to their new destination.
Using optical disk drives
The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD-ROMbased programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CD/DVDs without an adaptor. A Serial ATA interface controller is used for CD/DVD-ROM operation. When the computer is accessing a CD/DVDROM, an indicator on the drive glows. Use the DVD playback application to view DVD-Video discs.

Loading discs

To load CD/DVD's, follow the steps as listed below and refer to figures 4-2 to 4-4. 1. When the computer's power is on, press the eject button to open the disc tray slightly.

2. Grasp the disc tray gently and pull until it is fully opened.
Figure 4-3 Pulling the disc tray open
3. Lay the CD/DVD, label side up, in the disc tray.
Figure 4-4 Inserting a CD/DVD
When the disc tray is fully opened, the edge of the computer will extend slightly over the area where you insert the media. Therefore, when loading a CD or DVD, you will need to turn it slightly at an angle when you place it in the disc tray. After loading the CD/DVD you should ensure that it is properly positioned over the central spindle and that it lies flat within the tray. Do not touch either the laser lens or the area immediately around it doing so could cause misalignment and may damage the drive. Make sure that no foreign objects are inserted into or otherwise enter the drive. Check the disc tray, especially the area behind the front edge, to ensure that there are no foreign objects or material present before closing the drive. 4. Press the center of the CD/DVD gently until you feel it click into place on the center spindle. The disc should be slightly below the top of the spindle and flush with the spindle base. 5. Press the center of the disc tray in order to close it - the tray will click into place when it is locked. If the CD/DVD is not seated properly when the disc tray is closed, you may find that the media itself might become damaged, and/or the disc tray might not open fully when you next press the eject button.

backup: A copy of a file, usually on a removable disk, kept in case the original file is lost or damaged. binary: The base two number system composed of zeros and ones (off or on), used by most digital computers. The right-most digit of a binary number has a value of 1, the next a value of 2, then 4, 8, 16, and so on. For example, the binary number 101 has a value of 5. See also ASCII. BIOS: Basic Input/Output System. The firmware that controls data flow within the computer. See also firmware. bit: Derived from "binary digit," the basic unit of information used by the computer. It is either zero or one. Eight bits is one byte. See also byte. Bluetooth: A short-range radio technology designed to simplify wireless communication among computers, communication devices and the Internet. board: A circuit board. An internal card containing electronic components, called chips, which perform a specific function or increase the capabilities of the system. boot: Short for bootstrap. A program that starts or restarts the computer. The program reads instructions from a storage device into the computers memory. boot disk: See system disk. bootable disk: See system disk. bps: Bits per second. Typically used to describe the data transmission speed of a modem.

Glossary-3

buffer: The portion of the computers memory where data is temporarily stored. Buffers often compensate for differences in the rate of flow from one device to another. bus: An interface for transmission of signals, data or electric power. byte: The representation of a single character. A sequence of eight bits treated as a single unit; also the smallest addressable unit within the system.
cache memory: A section of very fast memory in which frequently used information is duplicated for quick access. Accessing data from cache is faster than accessing it from the computer's main memory. See also L1 cache, L2 cache. capacity: The amount of data that can be stored on a magnetic storage device such as a floppy diskette or hard disk drive. It is usually described in terms of kilobytes (KB), where one KB = 1024 bytes, megabytes (MB), where one MB = 1024 KB and gigabytes (GB), where one GB = 1024 MB. CD: An individual compact disc. See also CD-ROM. CD-R: A Compact Disc-Recordable disc can be written once and read many times. See also CD-ROM. CD-ROM: A Compact Disc Read-Only Memory is a high capacity disc that can be read from but not written to. The CD-ROM drive uses a laser, rather than magnetic heads, to read data from the disc. CD-RW: A Compact Disc-ReWritable disc can be rewritten many times. See also CD-ROM. character: Any letter, number, punctuation mark, or symbol used by the computer. Also synonymous with byte. chassis: The frame containing the computer. chip: A small semiconductor containing computer logic and circuitry for processing, memory, input/output functions and controlling other chips. click: To press and release the pointing device's primary button without moving the pointing device. In the Windows operating system, this refers to the pointing device's left button, unless otherwise stated. See also double-click. CMOS: Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor. An electronic circuit fabricated on a silicon wafer that requires very little power. Integrated circuits implemented in CMOS technology can be tightly packaged and are highly reliable. cold start: Starting a computer that is currently off (turning on the power). COM1, COM2, COM3 and COM4: The names assigned to the serial and communication ports. commands: Instructions you enter at the terminal keyboard that direct the actions of the computer or its peripheral devices.

output: The results of a computer operation. Output commonly indicates data 1) printed on paper, 2) displayed at a terminal, 3) sent through the serial port of internal modem, or 4) stored on some magnetic media.
PAL: PAL (Phase Alternating Line) is the dominant video and broadcasting standard in Europe. parity: 1) The symmetrical relationship between two parameter values (integers) both of which are either on or off; odd or even; 0 or 1. 2) In serial communications, an error detection bit that is added to a group of data bits making the sum of the bits even or odd. Parity can be set to none, odd, or even. password: A unique string of characters used to identify a specific user. The computer provides various levels of password protection such as user and supervisor. PCI: Peripheral Component Interconnect. An industry standard 32-bit bus. peripheral: Any device, such as a printer or joystick, that is attached to the computer and controlled by the computer's CPU. Pritel: Pritel is a 21-pin connecting cable/port system that allows images and high-quality stereo sound (including Dolby Pro-Logic sound formats) to be sent from one audio-visual device to another. It is also known as a "SCART connector" or "Euro connector". pixel: A picture element. The smallest dot that can be made on a display or printer. Also called a pel. plug and play: A capability with Windows that enables the system to automatically recognize connections of external devices and make the necessary configurations in the computer. pointing device: Any device, such as the TouchPad or a mouse, that enables you to move the cursor on the screen. port: The electrical connection through which the computer sends and receives data to and from devices or other computers. Power Saver: A TOSHIBA utility that lets you set the parameters for various power-saving functions. program: A set of instructions a computer can execute that enables it to achieve a desired result. See also application. prompt: A message the computer provides indicating it is ready for or requires information or an action from you.

Radio frequency interference (RFI) shield: A metal shield enclosing the printed circuit boards of the printer or computer to prevent radio and TV interference. All computer equipment generates radio frequency signals. The FCC regulates the amount of signals a computing device can allow past its shielding. A Class A device is sufficient for office use. Class B provides a more stringent classification for home equipment use. TOSHIBA portable computers comply with Class B computing device regulations. Random Access Memory (RAM): Volatile memory that can be written to as well as read. Volatile here means that information in RAM is lost when you turn off your computer. This type of memory is used for your computer's main memory. See also memory. Compare ROM. resolution: A measure of the sharpness of the images that can be produced by a printer or displayed on a screen. For a printer, resolution is expressed in dots per inch (dpi). For a screen, it is expressed as the number of pixels available horizontally and vertically restart: Resetting a computer without turning it off (also called "warm boot", "soft reset" or "reboot"). See also boot. RGB: Red, green and blue. A device that uses three input signals, each activating an electron gun for a primary additive color (red, green and blue) or port for using such a device. See also CRT. RJ11: A modular telephone jack. RJ45: A modular LAN jack. Read Only Memory (ROM): Non-volatile memory that can be read but not written to. Non-volatile here means that information in ROM remains whether or not the computer is receiving power. This type of memory is used to store your computer's BIOS, which is essential instructions the computer reads when you start it up. See also BIOS, memory. Compare RAM.
