Biometric Security



The optional biometric fingerprint sensor along with OmniPass software from Softex Inc. allows user authentication and password management for all Web sites and system log-ins. The fingerprint sensor is located below the touchpad and takes the place of the scroll button. The scroll function still works by sliding the finger over the side of the touchpad.

With OmniPass, the user only has to swipe the finger or remember a single master password. That reduces the number of lost passwords and the hassle of managing all the passwords.


Wireless LAN
The LifeBook S2210 notebook offers Atheros Super AG Wireless LAN (802.11a/b/g) technology. The optional Wireless LAN delivers the best connectivity and performance and is backward compatible with the 802.11b standard. Super AG lets you browse the Internet at a fast transfer rate of up to 108 Mbps when connecting with a Super AG enabled base station or router.

Bluetooth
The integrated Bluetooth feature provides wireless connectivity for wireless devices at close proximity. For example, Bluetooth can be used to wirelessly transfer/ synchronize data to and from different devices such as PDAs and cellular phones. It also communicates with peripherals such as mice, keyboards, and printers wirelessly, minimizing the constraints and clutter of cables. The typical transfer distance for a Bluetooth device is up to 30 feet. Designed to take advantage of a typical workspace or PAN (Personal Area Network), the purpose of Bluetooth is to simplify the exchange of information and interfacing of devices within close proximity. When considering Bluetooth devices, keep in mind that the system as well as the individual devices must support Bluetooth.


Media Slot



The media slot accepts Memory Stick media, Secure Digital (SD) cards, and xD-Picture cards for quick and easy transfer of digital photos, music or video to your notebook. These flash-based memory cards require low voltage to read data, and can store data files without requiring power. Since they use solid state architecture and have no moving parts, they are very reliable and offer storage capacities up to 4 GB.

Modular Bay
The modular bay offers flexibility to meet your needs. The modular bay can accommodate a DVD/CD-RW combo drive, Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer, or a bay battery. For mobile professionals who do not require a media drive while on the road, a weight saver can be inserted into the bay to reduce the notebook weight.

ATI Radeon Xpress 1150M
Built on the stable Radeon platform and AMD Turion 64 X2 technology, the integrated PCI-e ATI Radeon Xpress 1150M delivers industry-leading 3D graphics and mobile-optimized performance.The Xpress 1150M providesadvanced functionality for today’s graphics-intensive business and communications applications, the latest 3D games, and high-quality digital entertainment. The UMA or shared video memory is user-selectable on the BIOS level with options upto 256 MB (factory default: 64 MB).

Fujitsu Shock Sensor Utility
In the event your hard disk drive experiences excessive vibration or shock, there is a possibility that the read-write head will come in contact with the rotating platter, resulting in a "head crash." If this happens, data loss may occur. The Fujitsu Shock Sensor utility is a sophisticated hard disk drive protection system designed to minimize the likelihood of such an event.

Inside select Fujitsu notebooks and Tablet PCs there is an accelerometer that constantly senses for any sudden movement, including free falls, excessive vibration, or sudden impacts. Fujitsu Shock Sensor monitors movement from three axes: front-to-back, side-to-side, and up-and-down. The sensitivity can be adjusted by the user to accommodate different working environments.

If a sudden movement is detected, the read-write head is quickly retracted to a safe zone, reducing the possibility of a head crash and the potential loss of data. This technology reduces the risk of your hard drive being damaged and your data being lost forever.
