Hardware
Using the Rapid Access
TM
II keyboard
The Rapid Access keyboard contains some buttons and
controls that might be new to you.
Rapid Access Buttons are shortcut buttons on the
keyboard that start a program, open a file, browse a
Web page, or perform a specific function when you
press them. These keys allow you to go straight to a
file, program, or Internet address with the press of a
button instead of having to click on an icon, search for
the program in the Start menu, or type an Internet
address in your browser.
Some of the Rapid Access Buttons are preset to
support important functions on your computer (Mute,
Volume, and the CD/DVD controls); these cannot be
changed.
There are seven Rapid Access Buttons across the top of
the keyboard. The preset functions are printed on the
label above the buttons. You can customize five of the
buttons to start any program or Web page. For example,
if you enjoy playing Solitaire, you can customize a Rapid
Access Button to open the Solitaire program. The Help
and Standby buttons have preset functions that you
cannot customize. Press the Help button to start the
IBM Help system. Press the Standby button to put your
computer in suspend mode to save power while the
computer is temporarily not in use. The Standby button
lights up while the computer is in suspend mode. To exit
from the suspend mode, press the computer power
switch.
