Alienware Command Center
The Alienware® Command Center gives you access to Alienware’s exclusive software and is a continuously upgradable control panel. As Alienware releases new programs, they download directly into the Command Center allowing you to build a library of system management, optimization, and customization tools. You can access Alienware Command Center by gently touching the touch control located near the top of the keyboard. The control will illuminate temporarily to confirm your selection. For the exact location of the control, see “Computer Base and Keyboard Features” on page 18.
Stealth Mode
Stealth mode is designed to reduce the processor and graphics utilization and thereby reduces the energy consumption and noise level of your computer. Stealth mode helps you to use a 65 W auto/air adapter.
You can access Stealth mode by gently touching the touch control located near the top of the keyboard. The control will illuminate to full brightness until the function is deactivated. For the exact location of the control, see “Computer Base and Keyboard Features” on page 18.
Using Removable Media and Cards
Observe the safety measures below:
When no ExpressCard or media card (SD/MMC/MS cards) is inserted into the ExpressCard or media card slot, ensure that the blank cards that shipped with your laptop is inserted in the unused slot(s).
