BOTTOM COMPONENTS
Following is a brief description of your LifeBook note- book’s bottom panel components.
Docking Port Connector
This connector allows you to connect the optional Port Replicator.
Air Vents
The air vents are used to cool the system to prevent over- heating.
To protect your notebook from damage and to optimize system performance, be sure to keep all air all vents unobstructed, clean, and clear of debris. This may require periodic cleaning, depending upon the environment in which the system is used.
Do not operate the notebook in areas where the air vents can be obstructed, such as in tight enclosures or on soft surfaces like a bed or cushion.
Memory Upgrade Compartment
Your LifeBook notebook comes with high speed Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM). The memory upgrade compartment allows you to expand the system memory capacity of your notebook, thus improving overall performance. See “Memory Upgrade Module” on page 46.
Hard Disk Drive Cover
The hard disk drive cover protects the hard disk drive. Under normal circumstances, you should never remove this cover unless you are replacing a hard disk drive.
Lithium ion Battery Pack
The battery bay contains the internal Lithium ion battery. It can be opened for the removal of the battery when stored over a long period of time or for swapping a discharged battery with a charged Lithium ion battery. See “Lithium ion Battery” on page 39.
Battery Pack Latches
The battery pack latches are used to secure and release the Lithium ion battery pack. See “Lithium ion Battery” on page 39.
