DS4000 Storage Manager accessibility feature. Accessibility features help a user
who has a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use
software products successfully.

can use keys or key combinations to perform Storage Manager tasks and initiate
many menu actions that can also be done with a mouse.
Note: In addition to the keyboard operations that are described in this section, the
DS4000 Storage Manager 9.14, 9.15, and 9.16 software installation packages for

Select Product Features window, select Java Access Bridge in addition to the other
required host software components.
