Knowing the Parts 2

1 Memory (RAM) Compartment

The memory compartment provides expansion capabilities for additional memory. Additional memory will increase application performance by decreasing hard disk access. The BIOS automatically detects the amount of memory in the system and configures CMOS accordingly during the POST (Power-On- Self-Test) process. There is no hardware or software (including BIOS) setup required after the memory is installed. Visit an authorized service center or retailer for information on memory upgrades for your Notebook PC. Only purchase expansion modules from authorized retailers of this Notebook PC to ensure maximum compatibility and reliability.

2 Mini-PCI Compartment

An optional expansion card can be installed in the mini-PCI compartment. An optional wireless LAN mini-PCI module enables you to stay connected to your LAN while “roaming” to meeting, conference rooms, or other office locations. Full-time, real-time access to email, Internet, and network resources means not only an expanded office space, but also greater productivity.

3 Name Card Holder

The Notebook PC has a name card holder glued to the bottom of the Notebook PC to hold identification information on the user in case the Notebook PC is found by others.

Hard Disk Drive Compartment

 

The hard disk drive is secured in a compartment. Hard disk drive upgrades are to be done by authorized service centers or dealers only.

5Battery Pack

The battery pack is automatically charged when connected to an AC power source and maintains power to the Notebook PC when AC power is not connected. This allows use when moving temporarily between locations. Battery time varies by usage and by the specifications for this Notebook PC. The battery pack cannot be disassembled and must be replaced as a single unit through an authorized vendor.

The battery lock is used to keep the battery pack secured. Usage details are described in the battery section later in this manual.

Central Processor Unit (CPU)

Some Notebook PC models feature a socketed-processor design to allow upgrading to faster processors in the future. Some models feature a ULV design for compactness and may not be upgraded. Visit an authorized service center or retailer for information on upgrades.

WARNING! End-user removal of the CPU or hard disk drive will void the warranty.
