Q

The Display Select Panel (DSP) located on the glareshield, one for each pilot, provides control of the multifunction displays (MFDs) for the on-side inboard display unit (DU). Regarding the on-side DU and associated MFDs,…

each DU has a left and right window.

the currently selected MFD window (left or right) is indicated by the illuminated annunciator light above the corresponding display switch (L or R).

the EICAS transfer switch on either pilot’s DSP toggles the EICAS display between the inboard (left) half of FO’s inboard DU and the inboard (right) half of the Captain’s inboard DU.

All of the above are correct.

A

All of the above are correct.
