asingle built-in memory card reader that can read flash memory cards as shown below. The built-in memory card reader is not only convenient, but also faster than most other forms of memory card readers because it utilizes the high-bandwidth PCI bus.

IMPORTANT! Never remove cards while or immediately after reading, copying, for- matting, or deleting data on the card or else data loss may occur.

Hard Disk Drive

Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster speeds than floppy disk drives and CD-ROM drives. Enhanced IDE drives

provide a reliable, fast, and cost-effective mass storage solution in the

PC storage industry. The high speed transfer modes supported are UltraATA/100 up to 100MB/sec and PIO mode 4 up to 16.6MB/sec. The Notebook PC comes with a removable 2.5” (6.35cm) wide and .374”

(.95cm) high UltraATA/100/66 IDE hard disk drive with current capacities up to 80GB. Current IDE hard drives support S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) to detect hard disk errors or failures before they happen. Visit an authorized service center or retailer for upgrades.

IMPORTANT! Poor handling of the Notebook PC may damage the hard disk drive. Handle the Notebook PC gently and keep it away from static electricity and strong vibrations or impact. The hard disk drive is the most delicate component and will likely be the first or only component that is damaged if the Notebook PC is dropped.
