For example, bold is used in sentences such as the following: From the File menu, choose Open. Click the Cancel button. In the Enter name entry box, type your name.
Italics	Italics are used to indicate a placeholder for some actual text provided by the user or system. Italics are also used for emphasis. For example: Write the command as follows: copy source-file target-file Do not delete the configuration file.
Code font	A code font indicates text that the user enters without change, or text (such as messages) output by the system. For example: At the prompt, enter dir. Use the send command to send mail. The following message is displayed: The password is incorrect.

Examples of coding and messages appear as follows (although there may be some exceptions, such as when coding is included in a diagram):

MakeDatabase
...
StoreDatabase temp DB32

In examples of coding, an ellipsis (...) indicates that one or more lines of coding are not shown for purposes of brevity.

For OSs other than Windows Server 2003 (x64) or 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008

system-drive\Program Files\Hitachi\jp1pc

For Windows Server 2003 (x64) or 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008

system-drive\Program Files (x86)\Hitachi\jp1pc

Installation folder for PFM - Web Console

For OSs other than Windows Server 2003 (x64) or 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008

system-drive\Program Files\Hitachi\jp1pcWebCon

For Windows Server 2003 (x64) or 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008

system-drive\Program Files (x86)\Hitachi\jp1pcWebCon
