1.2 Product Overview

The Extensa Series contains two major product lines including:

♦ 60x Series

♦ 65x Series

Both notebook series are similar in construction and appearance, have similar operating
controls and indicators and use the same software. Both notebook series use a similar
startup self test program and diagnostics program (described in detail in Section 5 of
this manual). There are differences at the board level which affect assembly/
disassembly as described in Section 6 of this manual. There are also differences in
Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs), particularly the Printed Circuit Boards, so separate
FRU lists and logic diagram sets are provided in the appendices.

Table 1-1 summarizes some of the major differences between the 60x Series and the
65x Series Notebook Computers.

♦ 11.3-Inch TFT (650CDT only)

1.2.4.2 External CRTs

The Extensa 60x and 65x Series Notebooks are equipped with a 15-pin SVGA connector
that can drive an external CRT (either alone or simultaneously with the internal LCD).

When the notebook is set to the SimulSCAN mode, a minimum resolution of 800 x 600
x 256 colors is supported. When operating in the External CRT Mode, resolutions up
to 1280 x 1024 x 256 colors are supported.

1.2.4.3 Display Hot Key Sequences (All Extensa Models)

The display mode of operation (LCD only, Simultaneous LCD and external CRT and
external CRT only modes) is keyboard-selectable using the following hot key sequences.

♦ Fn-Up Arrow and Fn-Down Arrow - control LCD screen brightness (higher

brightness setting uses more battery energy)

♦ Fn-Right Arrow - lightens the LCD screen contrast
♦ Fn-Left Arrow - darkens the LCD screen contrast
♦ Fn-F12 - alternates between display modes (LCD, External CRT or both)
♦ Fn-F11 - turns off the LCD backlight; pressing any key turns the LCD

backlight on.

Note: In addition to the hot keys that control the notebook display functions,
there are several other hot key functions that control other notebook functions
such as turning the Touchpad on/off, etc. For these sequences, refer to
Section 3.

1.2.5 Software Features

As a standard feature, the Extensa 60x and 65x notebooks are factory loaded with either

1.3 Standard Test Features

PCMCIA Release
Buttons

The Extensa 60x and 65x Series Notebook Computers use modular design and built­in test features to reduce the mean time to repair. A power on self test program
automatically verifies the operational state of the primary circuits and a powerful suite
of diagnostic tests (known as PC-Doctor) are available to further test selected parts of
the system.

1.3.1 Power On Self Test

The Extensa line of notebook computers contain a BIOS-resident, Power On Self Test
(POST) that automatically performs a test of memory and all major circuits each time
the computer is powered up. In the event of a failure, the computer displays a descriptive
error message and issues a series of coded beeps (in case the display subsystem is not
functioning). If self test completes normally, the computer displays the amount of
memory tested, loads the Operating System and Windows environment.

1.3.2 PC-Doctor Diagnostics Program

The Extensa 60x and 65x Series Notebooks are shipped with PC-Doctor for Windows,
a powerful diagnostics tool that can help you scan a system for viruses, determine the
hardware configuration of a local or remote system, benchmark its performance,
analyze the performance of all subsystems, and perform a suite of interactive and non­interactive tests on attached devices (such as printers, joystick devices, VGA monitors,
SCSI devices, CD-ROM drives). The test results are stored in a log which can be printed
out (by pressing F2) or saved in a disk file (by pressing F3).

General Description 1-13

Features of the diagnostic program are accessed through a series of pull-down menus
and basic keyboard keys (cursor keys to move highlighted pointer, Enter key to select
a highlighted feature, Esc key to cancel a function and move back one level.

PC-Doctor is typically user friendly but if you don't understand a feature, context­sensitive help information is available at any time by pressing the F1 function key;
pressing the F1 function key twice accesses the online Technical Reference Manual for
PC-Doctor.

A powerful set of utilities within PC-Doctor (that can be run locally or remotely) simplify
the task of determining system configuration data, allocating and using system memory,
IRQ and DMA use, what device drivers are installed, what COM and LPT ports are
assigned and what ports are available, identifying partitioning data for fixed disk
drive(s), determining the VGA setup information, reading the software interrupts/
interrupt vectors, etc.

Note: Refer to the Troubleshooting Section (Section 5) for additional information
regarding the Diagnostics Program.

1.4 International Product Models

The Extensa 60x and 65x Series Notebooks are available in various international
configurations as listed in Table 1-7. The Models 600, 600CD, and 650CDT Dual Load
systems are also available with localized software.
