Euro Currency Symbol on
Compaq Tower and Rack Server
Keyboards
Abstract: This paper provides a brief overview of Compaq’s
implementation of the euro currency symbol on Compaq tower and
rack server keyboards. The paper discusses key placement,
language, and operating system support. A question and answer
section is also provided.
Executive Summary
With the adoption by the European Community (EC) of euro
currency, customers have needed euro currency symbol support for
their Prosignia and ProLiant servers. Compaq has implemented euro
currency symbol support through software and multiple operating
systems
Compaq X86 servers provide OS support and Industry Standard
Server Division support for the euro currency symbol via keyboard
commands. Support for the euro currency symbol is dependent on
the software, not the keyboard. If a customer has operating system
support for the euro key, then by engaging the appropriate keystroke
combination the euro symbol can be accessed. Euro compliant tower
and rack keyboards are currently shipping for Prosignia and ProLiant
servers in European markets.
By providing hardware support for the euro currency symbol ahead
of the EC market requirement, Compaq takes a leadership position in
the marketplace. Compaq anticipates this position will ensure
competitiveness of ProLiant and Prosignia servers through their
lifecycles. Compaq has followed the recommendations given by the
European Commission for placement of the euro sign on the
keyboard. The benefits for customers include convenience and
investment protection.
