  • Page 12: User Controls

    USER CONTROLS SX/DX USER CONTROLS SX/DX In order to get the most out of your 486SX/DX-WinBook it is essential that you have a good understanding of the controls and indictors on the system. In this section, a detailed explanation of all the controls on your 486SX/DX-WinBook is given and we recommend that you read the whole section through before you start using your system.
  • Page 13 When you press the Suspend switch, the display will become blank and to all intents and purposes your 486SX/DX-WinBook will appear to have been turned off. In this state your system is using a minimum of power. When in suspend mode, the Suspend LED on the LCD screen will illuminate.

  • Page 14: Led Indicators

    THE LED INDICATORS SX/DX THE LED INDICATORS SX/DX On the right side of the LCD screen is a row of seven LED indicators that indicate the status of certain functions. These are detailed below. (From figure 2.7) 4 – Power LED The power LED will be illuminated when your system is turned on, and will remain illuminated until you turn the power off.
  • Page 15 8 – Num Lock LED The NUM LOCK LED refers to the NUM LOCK key on the 486SX/DX-WinBook’s keyboard. On a conventional keyboard, this LED is usually situated on the keyboard itself. When illuminated, the NUM LOCK LED indicates that the NUM LOCK key has been pressed, in which case the numerical keypad will be in numeric mode.

  • Page 16: Chapter 3: Data Storage Devices

    CHAPTER 3: DATA STORAGE DEVICES SX/DX INTRODUCTION The data storage devices included on your 486SX./DX-WinBook consist of a 1.44 Megabyte (M) 3.5” floppy disk drive; one hard disk drive (optional); one Type 1/Type 2 IC card slot. It is via the disk drives and IC card slot that you can load different programs to run on your computer, and store the data that you create.

  • Page 17: Floppy Disk Drives And Diskettes

    1.44M drive. In order to be able to take advantage of the full 1.44M capacity, high –density diskettes must be used. Such diskettes are marked 2HD. The WinBook may also use 720K floppy disks which are normally labeled DD.
  • Page 18 FLOPPY DISK DRIVES AND DISKETTES SX/DX Fig. 3-2 3.5” Diskette Formatting Diskettes SX/DX When you purchase diskettes they are usually unformatted, and cannot be used until they have been formatted. Some companies also offer pre-formatted diskettes, though if you purchase such diskettes, you must make sure that they are IBM formatted diskettes.

  • Page 19: Ic Cards

    IC cards should be inserted directly into the IC card slot that is situated next to the power switch on the left side of the 486SX/DX-WinBook. When inserted into the unit when the power is on, you will hear two beeps. Two beeps will also be heard when the card is removed.

  • Page 20: Hard Disk Drives

    Hard disk drives are sealed units and are not user serviceable. If used in the normal way the hard disk drive in your 486SX/DX-WinBook should give many years of trouble free life.

  • Page 21: Chapter 4: Using The Keyboard

    The layout, however, is slightly different. If you are familiar with a conventional PC keyboard, you will soon get used to the 486SX/DX-WinBook keyboard. Read through this chapter carefully to make sure you are well acquainted with the special function keys and key combinations.

  • Page 22: The Typewriter Keys

    THE TYPEWRITER KEYS SX/DX THE TYPEWRITER KEYS SX/DX The typewriter keys make up the main block of keys on your keyboard, and it is these keys that you will use the most. As is obvious from the name, these keys are basically the same as found on a standard typewriter, with a few extras especially for computer use.
  • Page 23 THE TYPEWRITER KEYS SX/DX The Tab key functions in the same way as on a typewriter, advancing the cursor to the next tab position. Pressing the Tab key in conjunction with the Shift key will tab to the left. The Backspace Key In MS-DOS and in most software, the Backspace key moves the cursor one space to the left, simultaneously deleting the character to the left of the cursor.
  • Page 24 THE TYPEWRITER KEYS SX/DX The Function keys are labeled F1 to F10 with F1 and F2 keys doubling as F11 and F12. What the function keys do will depend entirely on what software you are using. Each software package may [SX/DX 4-4] or may not allocate a certain function to some or all of the function keys.
  • Page 25 THE NUMERIC KEYPAD The final group of keys on your keyboard is the Numeric Keypad. On a conventional keyboard, the numeric keypad is usually a separate block of keys. On the 486SX/DX-WinBook these keys have been integrated into the main typewriter keys.
  • Page 26 THE TYPEWRITER KEYS SX/DX Fig. 4-4 The Integrated Numeric Keypad NUM LOCK plus the Numeric Keypad The keys in this group have two functions depending on whether the Num Lock Key is toggled On or OFF, and whether the Fn key has been pressed. When Num Lock is toggled on (the Num Lock LED in the control panel will illuminate), the M, J, K, L, U, I, O, 7/&, 8/*, and 9/( keys will function as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 respectively.

  • Page 44: The External Crt Monitor Port

    The IBM VGA standard is an analog signal, and only an analog monitor will work with the 486SX/DX-WinBook. If you have a multi-frequency [SX/DX 6-2] monitor this probably supports both digital and analog modes. If you wish to connect such a monitor to the 486SX/DX-WinBook you must configure the monitor in analog mode.

  • Page 45: The Serial Port

    [SX/DX 6-3] COM 1 and COM 2 The serial port on your 486SX/DX-WinBook is configured as COM1. The COM2 serial port is used by the built-in trackball. When you connect a device to your 486SX/DX-WinBook, you will have some software to configure and run the device.
  • Page 46 THE SERIAL PORT SX/DX The serial connector on the 486SX/DX-WinBook is a 9-pin male D-connector. A male connector is a connector containing the pins, (a female connector is a connector with pin holes into which the pins on the male connector must be inserted.) D-connector refers to the shape of the connector that has one long side and one short side.

  • Page 47: The Parallel Port

    Connecting a Printer If you wish to connect a printer to your 486SX/DX-WinBook first make sure the printer is a parallel printer and not a serial printer. The vast majorities of PC printers are parallel devices and can therefore be connected to the parallel port on your 486SX/DX-WinBook.
