Operating Basics However, the USB Sleep and Charge function may not work with certain external devices even if they are compliant with the USB specification. In those cases, turn the power of the computer ON to charge the device. ■ The USB Sleep and Charge function only works for compatible ports. This function is disabled in the default setting. To enable it, you must change [Disabled] to [Enabled] in the HW setup. ■ When USB Sleep and Charge function is set to [Enabled] in HW Setup, USB bus power (DC5V) will be supplied to compatible ports even when the power of the computer is turned OFF. USB bus power (DC5V) is similarly supplied to the external devices which are connected to the compatible ports. However, some external devices cannot be charged solely by supplying USB bus power (DC5V). As for the specifications of the external devices, please contact the device manufacturer or check the specifications of the external devices thoroughly before use. ■ Using the USB sleep and charge function to charge external devices will take longer than charging the devices with their own chargers. ■ If external devices are connected to compatible ports when the AC adaptor is not connected to the computer, the battery of the computer will be depleted even when the power of the computer is turned OFF. As such, we recommend that you connect the AC adaptor to the computer when using the USB sleep and charge function. ■ External devices connected to the USB bus power (DC5V) function that interfaces with the power ON/OFF of the computer may always be in an operational state. ■ When there is a current overflow of the external devices connected to the compatible ports, USB bus power (DC5V) supply may be stopped for safety reasons. Metal paper clips or hair pins/clips will generate heat if they come into contact with USB ports. Do not allow USB ports to come into contact with metal products, for example when carrying the computer in your bag. How to enable/disable USB sleep and charge function You can set enable/disable USB sleep and charge function in HW setup. Please refer to the USB Sleep and Charge function in Chapter7. 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. User's Manual 4-10
