Fan louver

The internal fan and louvers enable air to circulate in the computer and cool the central processor.

Note: To avoid impeding airflow, do not place any obstacle in front of the fan.

Emergency reset hole

If the computer does not respond, remove the ac power adapter and reset the computer by inserting a straightened paper clip into the emergency reset hole to turn off the computer.

Integrated battery

Use your computer with the battery power whenever ac power is unavailable.

You can use the Power Manager program to adjust your power settings as needed. For details, see the help information system of the Power Manager program.

Hard disk drive or solid state drive

Depending on models, your computer might have a large-capacity, customer-upgradable hard disk drive that can meet a variety of storage demands.

Some models are equipped with a solid state drive for data storage, making your computer lighter, smaller, and faster.

Note: The hidden service partition is the reason why there is less free space than expected on your hard disk drive or solid state drive. This reduction is more noticeable on the solid state drive because of its smaller capacity.
