Battery Eject
The battery is held by a spring lock. The spring loaded latch automatically locks the battery pack when
inserted. Moving this to unlock will partially eject the battery pack. Usage details are described in the
battery section later in this manual.
Battery Pack
The battery pack is actually combined with the Notebook PC’s surface in order to reduce thickness.
When the battery is released, the surface and battery pack will be seen as a single unit. The battery pack
cannot be further disassembled and must be replaced as a single unit.
Drive Module Eject
The module drive eject is used for ejecting a module drive inserted into the Notebook PC.
