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. 

This manual uses the following formats to describe, identify, and highlight 

terms and operating procedures.

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 identify ports, dials, and other parts of your computer. The indicator 

panel also uses icons to identify the components it is providing information 

on.

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.

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.
