Using the Battery

5. Pull the hard drive out of the computer.

CAUTION:

Only install a hard drive that is thinner than 9.5 mm in this computer.

Installing a Hard Drive

To install a hard drive:

 

1. Remove the old hard drive from the computer as described in the previous

 

section.

 

2. Slide the new drive into the hard drive compartment. Make sure the drive is

 

pushed back as far as it will go.

 

3. Install the screw that holds the hard drive in place.

 

4. If you intend to use save-to-disk mode, see “Creating a Save-To-Disk Partition”

 

on page 97.

 

5. Format your drive and reinstall your files. See ”MCRC (Micron Customer

 

Resource Center)” on page 99 for instructions on re-installing the Operating

 

System and drivers for your Transport LT notebook computer.

Using the Battery

Your computer uses a smart rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack for

 

power when the AC adapter is not attached to an electrical outlet. The smart

 

battery gives an accurate measurement of the current battery capacity which

 

helps extend operating time by enabling effective power management in

 

Operating Systems that take advantage of the accurate information supplied by

 

the battery.

Charging the Battery

Your computer’s battery starts charging automatically when you connect the

 

power to the computer and to an electrical outlet. If the computer is off, the battery

 

charges faster than if the computer’s power is on.

 

Approximate charging times for Li-Ion (Ni-MH) battery are:

 

Two and a half (2.5) hours with the computer off.

 

Four (4) hours with the computer on.

 

While the battery is charging normally, the battery charge light on the computer is

 

amber (See ”System Status Lights” on page 29 for the location of the battery

 

charge light). When the battery is fully charged, the light changes to green.
