Reviewing System Features 1-5
LCD Panel
The system comes with an LCD panel that you can adjust up or down and
side-to-side for a comfortable viewing position. The panel uses a 15-inch,
twisted nematic Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Super Video Graphics Array
(SVGA) color screen. The screen has a brightness of 200 candlepower
and a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels.
The LCD panel screen automatically turns on when you press the system
power button. If you have an optional video graphics array (VGA)
monitor attached to the system, the monitor can be turned on for
simultaneous viewing on the monitor and the LCD panel.
An increase brightness button and a decrease brightness button on the
panel allows you to increase or decrease the brightness of the display. The
buttons provide eight levels of brightness. The default brightness is
mid-level.
Diskette Drive
Use the diskette drive to copy data files to and from a diskette. You can
also use it as a bootable drive for loading and starting programs from a
diskette.
A flashing green activity lamp on the front of the drive indicates that the

Press the eject button to eject a diskette.
To prevent damage to the diskette drive and
data, do not turn off the system or remove a diskette while the diskette
drive busy lamp is flashing.
