Description
The 3512KPM comes standard with a 12.1-inch TFT flat panel. The 3515KPM
comes standard with a 15-inch TFT flat panel. Impact-resistant shields protect the
display from breakage. If a touchscreen is factory installed, the touchscreen is
backed by heat-annealed safety glass replacing the impact-resistant shield.
You can use LEDs on the front panel to monitor system operation.
Power Lit when there is power
Disk Lit when the computer is accessing the disk drive.
COM Lit when there is communication activity on one of the serial ports, in-
cluding communication between the computer module and the touch-
screen (if on COM2) or a serial device.
Input Lit when the unit has a touchscreen; the LED gets brighter when a touch
input is detected or a key is pressed.
F/A key Lit when alpha characters are being returned.
During power-up, firmware on the processor board checks the hardware configu-
ration against the configuration stored in the CMOS memory.
The 40 relegendable function keys (80 using the F/A key) provide easy access to
familiar routines. (The F/A key can be used for alpha and symbol entry). See the
Customizing Keypad Inserts section in this chapter for details on customizing your
keypad inserts.
The data entry keypads are for entering data and moving the cursor.
These keys access the start menu and pop-up menus in the Windows NT or 95
operating system.
When the LED is lit, alpha characters are returned.
This key configures your keypad.
The 3512KPM and 3515KPM support one PS/2 keyboard, located on the lower
left side of the front panel. On the 3512KPM the port is behind an access door.
When using this port, the side port cannot be used.
The built-in pointing device is located on the right-hand side of the front panel. It
operates in the same manner as a conventional mouse. Refer to the mouse disk-
ette and manual supplied with your documentation kit. This mouse consists of
three basic parts:
Left mouse key Serves the same function as the left button on a conventional
mouse.
Mouse dome Moves the pointer around the screen. Press the edge of the
dome that corresponds to the direction in which you wish to
move the pointer.
Right mouse key Serves the same function as the right button on a conven-
tional mouse.
