Commands
The word “command” means that you must
enter the command exactly as shown and then
press Return or Enter. Commands appear in
bold. Example:

following command:
system softwareUpdate
This guide always gives the full form of a
command in uppercase and lowercase letters.
However, you can abbreviate commands by
entering the fewest letters in each command
that identify a unique command. Commands
are not case sensitive.
The words
“enter”
and “type”
When you see the word “enter” in this guide,
you must type something, and then press Return
or Enter. Do not press Return or Enter when an
instruction simply says “type.”

simultaneously, the key names are linked with a
