Memory Compartment

Found on the underside of the notebook is the memory compartment. Underneath the cover are two 144-pin SODIMM memory slots for inserting and upgrading the system memory using 64MB, 128MB, or 256MB SODIMM. The notebook uses PC-100/133 SDRAM modules for faster memory access. You can upgrade the total memory up to 512MB. One is inserted with a SDRAM configured by the factory. The other is empty for upgrade use. Refer to Chapter 7 on how to upgrade the system memory.

Battery Release Latch

Also found on the underside of the notebook is the battery bay latch. To remove the battery pack, you need to push this latch to the left end and at the same time pull the battery pack.

Battery Bay

The battery bay stores the Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) or Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH) battery pack for off-the-cord operation. The battery pack is instantly charge whenever you connect the AC adapter to the notebook. It is very important to always have the battery installed on the notebook to have it always charged and conditioned by the AC adapter.

Mini-PCI Socket Compartment

This compartment provides the mini-PCI socket for inserting optional built-in Modem, LAN, or Combo card. Refer to Chapter 2 of User Manual for installing the Modem module.
