To insert the drive, slide it straight into the compartment as far as it will go; then slide it to the right until you feel it snap into place.

Caution

Use only the appropriate Epson hard disk drives. Inserting an incompatible drive could damage your system.

Saving Battery Power

If you are using the hard disk while the computer is running on the battery, remember that it uses more battery power. You can reduce the power consumption, however, with the following conservation measures:

Define a timeout period for the hard disk through the SETUP program. See Chapter 2 for instructions.

Close the cover or press + to place the computer in Suspend mode when you are not using it but you want to leave it turned on. (Open the cover or press the spacebar when you are ready to resume.) See “Using the Suspend Mode” in Chapter 4.
