Operating System
This UltraMobilePC may offer (depending on territory) its customers the choice of a preinstalled operating system such as MicrosoftWindowsXP. The levels of hardware and software support may vary depending on the installed operating system. The stability and compatibility of other operating systems cannot be guaranteed.
Support Software
This UltraMobilePC comes with a support CD that provides BIOS, drivers and applications to enable hardware features, extend functionality, help manage your UltraMobilePC, or add functionality not provided by the native operating system. If updates or replacement of the support CD is necessary, contact your dealer for web sites to download individual software drivers and utilities. The support CD contains all drivers, utilities and software for all popular operating systems including those that have been pre-installed. The support CD is necessary even if your UltraMobilePC came pre-configured in order to provide additional software not included as part of the factory pre-install. A recovery CD is optional and includes an image of the original operating system installed on the hard drive at the factory. The recovery CD provides a comprehensive recovery solution that quickly restores the UltraMobilePC's operating system to its original working state provided that your hard disk drive is in good working order. Contact your retailer if you require such a solution.
Note: Some of the UltraMobilePC's components and features may not work until the device drivers and utilities are installed.

Fast-Ethernet Connection
Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the UltraMobilePC and the other end to a hub or switch. For 100 BASE-TX speeds, your network cable must be category 5 or better (not category 3) with twisted-pair wiring. If you plan on running the interface at 100Mbps, it must be connected to a 100 BASE-TX hub (not a BASE-T4 hub). 10/100 Mbps Full-Duplex is supported on this UltraMobilePC but requires connection to a network switching hub with "duplex" enabled. The software default is to use the fastest setting so no user-intervention is required.
Twisted-Pair Cable
The cable used to connect the Ethernet card to a host (generally a Hub or Switch) is called a straightthrough Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE). The end connectors are called RJ-45 connectors, which are not compatible with RJ-11 telephone connectors. If connecting two computers together without a hub in between, a crossover LAN cable is required. ExampleoftheUltraMobilePCconnectedtoaNetworkHuborSwitchforusewiththe built-inEthernetcontroller.
