How to Use This Manual
Conventions
This chapter introduces the Toshiba Desk Station V Plus. The Toshiba
Desk Station V Plus expands the capabilities of your Toshiba Portégé 650CT,
Tecra 500 and 710/720 notebook computers.
This manual uses the following conventions:
❖ Italics identify variables for which you substitute values.
For example, when this manual discusses entering the time and date, it
refers to the hours and minutes as hh:mm. Replace hh with the current
hour and mm with the current minutes.
❖ A distinctive typeface distinguishes keytops and embossed legends and
icons identifying ports on the Desk Station V Plus and the computer from
surrounding text.
For example, we refer to the printer port as the Printer port.
❖ Each key is spelled exactly as you see it on the keyboard. A plus (+) sign
indicates combinations of keys.
For example, Ctrl + Break means you must hold down Ctrl and at the
same time press Break.
❖ References to parts of the computer are in boldface type the first time
they are referred to in the text.
❖ A distinctive typeface is used to indicate text from the computer monitor,
such as, "TOSHIBA Desk Station ATTACHED."
