Three icons and their associated messages appear in this manual. The information

icons are placed before the step/information they apply to:

Warning:

Indicates the possibility of personal injury.

Caution:

Warns you of possible damage to equipment or data.

Note:

Informs you of special circumstances.

brackets. For example:

<Ctrl> indicates the control key (Ctrl on the keyboard).

CD-ROM Device Naming Convention

In many installation programs you will have to get a program from the CD-ROM

device. The program installation sequence assumes that the CD is drive d:\, however

this is not always the case. The name of the CD-ROM drive is the letter following the

letter assigned to your last HDD. For instance, if you have one HDD with two

partitions, the HDD is drives C: and D: and the CD-ROM drive is then drive E.

Touchpad Conventions

You may be asked to click or double-click on items on the display screen. As a general

note the touchpad actions act much in the same way as a wheel mouse, any differences

are explained fully.

The object that needs to be clicked upon will be displayed in Bold text or shown in a

small figure such as the “Start Button” shown on the right =>.

Table 1. Touchpad Click Conventions

Windows Conventions:

Almost all “Windows” programs will display the name/function of a button or

icon if you place the touchpad pointer on the item you want information about.

Software User Documentation

Your computer is shipped from the factory with several software programs installed.

The software may include its own online or printed documentation. Refer to the

The figures and illustrations in this manual may not be identical to those on

Some of the Icons used in Windows XP may be placed on the taskbar by

box.

The keys on the keyboard can be grouped into the following categories:

•Full-sized Alphanumeric typewriter keys are arranged like a standard

typewriter keyboard and are used for text entry. The Windows keys on either

side of the spacebar open Windows menus and perform other special functions.

•Function keys, when pressed together with the <Fn> key, enable special

functions.

•Cursor and Screen control keys move the cursor. They may perform other

functions, depending on your software.

To clean the computer keyboard, use slightly damp cotton swabs. Scrub the keys and

the surface around the keys.

Do not allow liquid to drip into the keyboard or you may damage the keyboard.

Using the Numeric Keypad

Your keyboard includes a numeric keypad, which is a group of keys that you can set to

type numbers and mathematical symbols, such as the plus sign. A number or symbol

on the corner of each keypad key shows its numeric function.

Press <Fn+Num Lock> to turn on the embedded numeric keypad. The numeric

functions of the keypad are enabled and the Num Lock LED turns on. (See ”Reading

the Status Indicators” on page 15 for the location of the Num Lock LED.)

While the numeric functions are enabled, you can temporarily return a key to its normal

function by pressing the key and the <Fn> key. For example to type the letter m, press

<Fn+M>, this operation displays the letter m.
