The Grand Tour

Depending on its configuration, the computer will either have a CD-RW/

DVD-ROM drive or a double layer DVD Super Multi drive. An ATAPI 

interface controller is used for the operation of these optical drives. When 

the computer is accessing a disc, an indicator on the drive glows.

The keyboard provides full-sized keys with 

comfortable travel (depth at which the keys can 

be depressed) and palm rest for both hands. Two 

Windows function keys are provided in the 

Windows operating system.

The TouchPad pointing device is located in the 

center of the palm rest and is used to control the 

on-screen pointer. Refer to the Using the 

TouchPad section in Chapter 4: 

The computer provides two speakers for stereo 

sound reproduction.

Control buttons below the TouchPad let you 

select menu items or manipulate text and 

graphics designated by the on-screen pointer.

SCROLL LOCK 

MODE

The Caps Lock mode icon lights when you press 

the Caps Lock key. When this light is on, pressing 

a letter key on the keyboard produces an 

uppercase (capital) letter.

You can use the keypad overlay (light gray 

labeled keys) for numeric input when the Numeric 

mode icon lights green. Refer to the Keyboard 

overlay section in Chapter 5: 

When the Scroll Lock mode icon lights green, you 

can use the Scroll Lock mode. In Scroll Lock 

mode, the arrow keys can scroll the contents in 

the window instead of moving the cursor, 

depending on the application.
