Indicator Lights

Turbo

The Turbo indicator comes on when you set the computer to 20-MHz (using the Setup
Program, the Windows Notebook menu Setup icon, or the speed control keys described
previously). The Turbo indicator goes off while the computer is in the Standby mode and
while the computer is accessing the floppy drive.

Floppy Disk

The Floppy Disk indicator comes on when the computer writes to or reads from the built-
in 3.5-inch microdiskette drive. Also note that the indicator light on the front of the
floppy drive also comes on during floppy drive accesses.

Caution:

Never remove a floppy from the drive while the Floppy Disk

indicator is on. You could destroy data and damage the drive.

Hard Disk

The Hard Disk indicator comes on when the computer writes to or reads from the built-in
hard disk drive.

CapsLock

The Caps Lock indicator comes on when you press the Caps Lock key to toggle on the
caps lock function and turns off the next time you press the Caps Lock key.

Num Lock (Numeric Keypad Lock)

The Num Lock indicator comes on when you press the Fn-F7 (NumLk) keys to toggle on
the numeric keypad lock function. See "Using the NumLk Key and the Embedded
Numeric Keypad" earlier in this chapter for full details.
