Using the Keyboard

Your computer has a close-to-full-sized keyboard and an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor, lock, function and special keys.

Lock Keys and embedded numeric keypad

The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

Lock key

Caps Lock

Num Lock

<Fn> + <F11>

Scroll Lock <Fn> +

<F12>

Description

When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase.

When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The keys function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). Use this mode when you need to do a lot of numeric data entry. A better solution would be to connect an external keypad.

When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you press the up or down arrow keys respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with some applications.

The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by small characters located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on the keys.

BIOS Recovery

BIOS Recovery by Crisis Disk

BIOS Recovery Boot Block

The BIOS Recovery Boot Block is a special block of BIOS. It is used to boot up the system with minimum BIOS initialization. Users can enable this feature to restore the BIOS firmware to the factory settings if a BIOS flash process fails.

BIOS Recovery Hotkey

The system provides a function hotkey: Fn+Esc, to enable the BIOS Recovery process when a system is powered on during BIOS POST. To use this function, it is strongly recommended to have the AC adapter and

Battery present. If this function is enabled, the system will force the BIOS to enter a special BIOS block, called

Boot Block.

Steps for BIOS Recovery from USB Storage

Before performing this procedure, prepare a Crisis USB key. The Crisis USB key can be made by executing the Crisis Disk program in a functioning system with a Windows XP, Windows 7 or Vista OS.

IMPORTANT:The Crisis Disk program will overwrite all data on any drive that you use as a crisis disk.

Follow the steps below:

1.

Modify the archive name from "zh6 bios" to "ZH6X64.fd"

2.

Save ROM file (file name: ZH6X64.fd ) to the root directory of the USB storage.

3.

Plug the USB storage into a USB port.

4.

Press Fn + ESC button then plug in AC.

The Power button flashes once.

5.

Press Power button to initiate system CRISIS mode.

When CRISIS is complete, the system auto restarts with a workable BIOS.

6.

Update the latest version BIOS for this machine by the regular BIOS flashing process.
