Tips & Tricks
You can attach an
external keyboard to
the notebook or
optional port
replicator using a USB
port. You do not need
to shut down the
notebook to connect a
USB keyboard.

functions the same as a desktop computer
keyboard. Many of the keys have been assigned
alternate functions, including shortcut keys for
Windows, function keys for specific system
operations, and the Num Lock keys for the
numeric keypad.
