Getting Started
Using an external keyboard
❖If the external video device, such as an SVGA monitor, is
capable of displaying at a maximum resolution of 640 x 480
and your system is set for a higher resolution, only part of the
desktop will appear on the screen. You can view the “lost”
area by scrolling to it.
❖Since most televisions and video projectors overscan by 15 to
20 percent, some of the desktop will be outside the viewing
area. You can view the edge of the desktop by scrolling to it.
❖If you use the display hot key (Fn + F5) to change the display
output with the LCD Display Stretch option enabled and the
display area (resolution) set to 640 x 480 or 800 x 600, the
image on the internal display panel may appear stretched.
Using an external keyboard
If you prefer to use a full-size keyboard, you can attach one to your
computer. The computer’s PS/2 port supports any PS/2-
compatible keyboard.
NOTE: If you connect a PS/2 keyboard to the computer while
it is in Standby mode, you will not be able to use the
keyboard when you turn the computer on.
CAUTION: When connecting any PS/2 device, turn off your
computer to prevent any possible hardware damage.
HINT: You can only connect one PS/2 device at a time,
unless you purchase an optional Y-cable. Connecting a
Y-cable to the computer’s PS/2 port allows you to connect
aPS/2-compatible mouse and a PS/2-compatible keyboard
simultaneously.
