Reassembly Notes

Caution

Do not cover the vent hole in the top surface of the hard drive or in the case. If you cover the hole, the hard drive could fail prematurely.

∙Pry out the connector corner of the case and insert the external connector and hard drive at the same time. The connector seats in the lower part of the opening in the case.

∙Secure the two tabs on the screw flap by inserting the corner tab last, while prying out the nearby corner of the case.

∙When you install the battery module, be sure the plastic tab on the hard drive case lays folds up against the front of the case.

Important

∙If you are installing a new hard drive, you should create a Hibernate partition on the drive before loading any software—see the steps below.

Creating a Hibernate Partition

After inserting a formatted floppy disk in the floppy drive, do one of the following:

¨On a factory software installation, click Start, Programs, OmniBook, Create Support Utility Disk.

¨On any computer that has a CD-ROM drive, run makesupp from the \Omnibook\Drivers\Hputils directory on the OmniBook 4100 Recovery CD.
