TOP AND FRONT COMPONENTS

Display Panel Latch
This latch locks and releases the display panel.
When the display panel is released it pops up
slightly to make it easier to open. (Figure 1-6.)
Display Panel
This is a color LCD panel with back lighting for
the display of text and graphics. (Figure 1-6.)
Brightness Control
The brightness control adjusts the overall
intensity of the display panel back lighting.
(Figure 1-6.)
Contrast Control
The contrast control (located just below the
brightness control) sets the ratio of the inten-
sity of the light to dark areas of the display.
(Figure 1-6.)

input to your notebook. (Figure 1-6.)

Status Indicator Panel
An LCD display of the status of the power state
and source, Suspend mode,battery charge (bat-
tery in either Multi-function Bay), floppy disk
drive activity, hard drive or Zip drive activity,
CD-ROM drive activity, PC Card activity,
CapsLock, NumLk and Scr Lk. (Figure 1-6.)
Suspend/Resume Button
The Suspend/Resume button allows you to sus-
pend notebook activity without turning off the
notebook power, and to return it to an active
state. This feature saves power, and is particu-
larly useful when the notebook is running only
on battery power. (See pages 38-46 and 81-87 for
more information on power management.)
(Figure 1-6.)
C A U T I O N
Be sure you know which settings are
active for your Suspend/Resume button
before you use it because misuse can
result in data loss. (See the Power
Savings Menu of the BIOS setup utility,
pages 81-87, for more information.)
Closed Cover Switch
The closed cover switch turns off the LCD
back lighting when the display panel is closed,
thus saving power. This switch also behaves
as a Suspend/Resume button. To change the
functionality of this switch, adjust the settings
in the Advanced Features submenu of the
Power menu in the BIOS Setup Utility.
(See pages 93-100.) (Figure 1-6.)
