BOTTOM COMPONENTS
The following is a brief description of your LifeBook notebook’s bottom panel components.
Memory Upgrade Compartment
Your notebook comes with high speed Double Data Rate 2 Synchronous Dynamic RAM (DDR2 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 43 for more information) Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary to open this compartment.
Hard Disk Drive Compartment
The hard disk drive compartment contains the hard disk drive. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary to open this compartment.
Battery Bay Locks
Dust Filter
The dust filter is used to help prevent dust and dirt from entering your system. (See Cleaning the dust filter on page 66 for more information).
Air Vents
The air vents allow air to circulate through the system to cool down the components.
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.
The battery bay locks are used together to secure or remove the Lithium ion battery. (See Replacing the Battery on page 38 for more information)
Lithium ion Battery Bay
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 37 for more information)
