Access Connections
The Access Connections™ program is a connectivity assistant program for creating and managing location
profiles. Each location profile stores all the network and Internet configuration settings needed for connecting
to a network infrastructure from a specific location such as a home or an office.
By switching between location profiles as you move your computer from place to place, you can quickly and
easily connect to a network with no need to reconfigure your settings manually and restart the computer
each time.
For instructions on accessing the Access Connections program, see “Accessing applications” on page 19.
Active Protection System
The Active Protection System program protects your hard disk drive when the shock sensor inside your
computer detects a condition that could damage the drive, such as system tilt, excessive vibration, or shock.
The hard disk drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not operating. This is because when the hard disk
drive is not operating, the system stops it from spinning, and may also move the read and write heads of the
drive to areas that do not contain data. As soon as the shock sensor senses that the environment is stable
again (minimal change in system tilt, vibration, or shock), it turns the hard disk drive on.
For instructions on accessing the Active Protection System program, see “Accessing applications” on
page 19.
Fingerprint Software
If your system comes with a fingerprint reader, the Fingerprint Software program enables you to enroll your
fingerprint and associate it with your Windows
® password. As a result, the fingerprint authentication can
replace your password and enable simple and secure user access.
For instructions on accessing the Fingerprint Software program, see “Accessing applications” on page 19.
Lenovo Solutions Center
Note: Depending on the date when your computer was manufactured, your computer is preinstalled with
either the Lenovo Solution Center program or the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program for diagnostic
purposes. For additional information about the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program, see “Lenovo
ThinkVantage Toolbox” on page 22.
The Lenovo Solution Center program enables you to troubleshoot and resolve computer problems. It
