Terminology Used in this Guide
As the result of long use and the evolution, some functions and buttons may be called by more
than one name and some of these names are used interchangeably, which can lead to
confusion. The following are some of the more common examples you may encounter in this
manual:
Standby = Stand By = Sleep
Windows Security Key Button = SAS Button = OEM Button = Side Button
