Power lamp
The power lamp indicates whether system power is on or
off. It also lets you know if the system is operating in a
power-saving mode.
A steady green lamp indicates that the power is on to all
system components. An amber lamp indicates that the
system is in Suspend mode with full-power reduction.
„
Disk lamp
A lit disk lamp indicates that the hard disk is active. The
green lamp tells you that the hard disk is reading or
writing data.
!
CAUTION
Do not turn off the system unless absolutely
necessary while the disk lamp is lit. To do so can
damage your hard disk or data.
IR Window
The IR (infrared) window is the system’s IR port. The IR
port supports two-way wireless communications. The
interface uses infrared as the transmission medium instead
of a traditional cable.
The IR port lets you transfer files to or from portable
devices such as laptops and personal digital assistant (PDA)
products using application software supporting IrDA data
transfer. Systems running the Windows 95 operating system
come with LapLink
®
software for wireless data transfer.
With IrDA software, you can transfer data at speeds of up
to 115 kilobytes per second (Kbps) and at distances up to
3 feet from the IR window.
