Keyboard

The system features a specially-designed, 86-key keyboard. In order to provide the
full functionality of a 101-key keyboard, many of these keys have been assigned
special alternate functions, including shortcut keys for Windows

®

 95.

An external keyboard may be attached to the unit through the PS/2 port on the
back of the unit (See page 6.) or the PS/2 (keyboard) port on the docking bar. (See
page 24.)

Special function keys

The keys with blue labels perform special functions when activated. The status
display bar shows individual icons for the Monitor Switch, Num Lock, Pad Lock,
and Scroll Lock keys when each is activated. (See page 8.)
