Reading the System Status Lights 19
Scroll Lock light: Light is on when the scroll lock function is activated.
The scroll lock function affects cursor movement and text scrolling in
some applications. This is a software specific function. Refer to the
appropriate software manuals for a description of the <Scroll> key.
Drive light: Light is on when the hard drive or floppy drive is being
accessed. Do not turn your computer off when this light is on. When
the light is amber, the floppy drive is being accessed. When the light
is green, the hard drive is being accessed. For a CD-ROM or DVD-
ROM drive, check the light on the drive itself to see if the drive is
being accessed.
Battery charge light: When the power cord is connected, light gives
information about the battery charge. Light is amber when the
battery is charging normally. Light is green when the battery is fully
charged. (See ”Charging the Battery” on page 33 for more
information about charging the battery.)
