Hard Disk Drive, Memory Modules | NEC Versa Series specs

Hard Disk Drive

Your NEC Versa notebook comes equipped with an internal fixed 2.5-inch, 9.5mm hard disk drive with a capacity of either 10 or 20 GB, depending on your system configuration.

When you power on your system for the first time, the hard disk drive contains the Windows operating system and some resident drivers and utilities.

If for some reason, your hard disk drive becomes unreadable, use the Product Recovery CD to restore your system to its initial installation state. For details about using the Product Recovery CD, see Chapter 4, “Using the Operating System and Utilities.”

Memory Modules

Your NEC Versa computer comes standard with 64 megabytes (MB) of random access memory (RAM) on the motherboard. You can increase system memory to a maximum of 192 MB with a 128-MB memory module in the memory module bay.

Only install NEC Computers supplied/approved memory module options to ensure proper functionality of your NEC Versa notebook computer.

Contact your NEC Computers dealer for information about available NEC-supplied/ approved memory modules.

Before handling any internal components, discharge static electricity from yourself and your clothing by touching a nearby metal surface.
