User guide

Appendix D. Accessibility

Accessibility features help a user who has a physical disability, such as restricted

mobility or limited vision, to use software products successfully. The major

accessibility features in IBM SmartCloud Virtualized Server Recovery enable users

to:

v Use assistive technologies such as screen-reader software and a digital speech

synthesizer to hear what is displayed on the screen

v Operate specific or equivalent features using only the keyboard

v Magnify what is displayed on the screen

In addition, the product documentation has been modified to include features to

aid accessibility:

v All documentation, available in convertible PDF format provides the opportunity

for users to apply screen-reader software.

v All images provided with alternative text so that users of the documentation

with vision impairments can understand the contents of the images.

Using Assistive Technologies

Assistive technology products such as screen-readers, function with both the

text-based and graphical user interfaces found in the IBM SmartCloud Virtualized

Server Recovery product. Consult the assistive technology product documentation

for specific information about using it to access command line or graphical

interfaces.

Magnifying what is Displayed on the Screen

In all components of IBM SmartCloud Virtualized Server Recovery, users can

magnify the screens used by the product's user interfaces using facilities provided

by the operating systems on which the product is run. For example, in a Windows

environment you can change the screen settings to a lower resolution to enlarge

the font sizes of the text on the screen. Information about these facilities is

provided in the relevant operating system documentation.

Documentation in Accessible Formats

All user documentation is provided in PDF format, which can be read directly by

assistive tools such as screen readers, or convertible to HTML format. Convertible

PDF files are those that can be converted from PDF to HTML by the Adobe PDF to

HTML converter. For information about converting PDF documents to HTML, refer

to the Adobe book Optimizing Adobe PDF Files for Accessibility.

Using Alternative Text

All documentation images are provided with an alternative text that can be read

by assistive tools such as screen readers.
