Displaying System Information (Fn+esc)
Press Fn+esc to display information about system hardware components and software version numbers. Press Fn+esc a second time to remove the system information from the screen.
✎The system BIOS date is the version number of the system ROM. The BIOS date may display in a decimal format, for example, 10/19/2002 F.07.
Initiating Standby (Fn+F3)
The Fn+F3 hotkey is set by default to initiate Standby. Standby can be initiated only while the notebook is on. If the notebook is in Hibernation, you must restore from Hibernation before you can initiate Standby.
To restore from Hibernation or resume from Standby, briefly press the power button. For more information about using Standby and Hibernation, refer to the “Power” chapter in the Software Guide on the Documentation Library CD.
