User’s Manual xiv
Preface
Congratulations on your purchase of this computer. This powerful notebook
computer provides excellent expansion capability, includes multimedia
functionality, and is designed to provide years of reliable, high-performance
computing.
This manual tells how to set up and begin using your computer. It also
provides detailed information on configuring your computer, basic
operations and care, using optional devices and troubleshooting.
Conventions
This manual uses the following formats to describe, identify, and highlight
terms and operating procedures.
Abbreviations
On first appearance, and whenever necessary for clarity, abbreviations are
enclosed in parentheses following their definition. For example: Read Only
Memory (ROM). Acronyms are also defined in the Glossary.
Icons
Icons identify ports, dials, and other parts of your computer. The indicator
panel also uses icons to identify the components it is providing information
on.
Keys
The keyboard keys are used in the text to describe many computer
operations. A distinctive typeface identifies the key top symbols as they
appear on the keyboard. For example, ENTER identifies the ENTER key.
Key operation
Some operations require you to simultaneously use two or more keys. We
identify such operations by the key top symbols separated by a plus sign
(+). For example, CTRL + C means you must hold down CTRL and at the
same time press C. If three keys are used, hold down the first two and at
the same time press the third.
ABC When procedures require an action such as
clicking an icon or entering text, the icon's name or
the text you are to type in is represented in the
typeface you see to the left.
