For Windows NT, Card Executive provides support for PC Cards, and Advanced Power Management provides power management. If a PC Card icon and a Power icon are displayed in the taskbar, these utilities are already installed. If these icons are not present, see “To install Card Executive for Windows NT 4.0” on page 57 and “To install APM for Windows NT 4.0” on page 43. You should install Card Executive before you install networking support.

For Windows NT, the NT administrator password is initially blank. For system security, you should change the NT administrator password in the Windows NT User Manager.

For Windows NT, the keyboard locale is initially set to match the Windows NT language. For example, French Windows NT uses a French keyboard. If your OmniBook has a different keyboard, such as French-Canadian, you should use Keyboard Control Panel to change the locale and layout under Input Locales.
