Hard Disk Drive Compartment
The hard disk drive is secured in a compartment. Hard disk drive upgrades are to be done by authorized
service centers or dealers only.
Battery Lock
The spring loaded latch automatically locks the battery pack when inserted. Usage details are described
in the battery section later in this manual.
Battery Pack
The battery pack is automatically charged when connected to an AC power source and maintains power to
the Notebook PC when AC power is not connected. This allows use when moving temporarily between
locations. Battery time varies by usage and by the specifications for this Notebook PC. The battery pack
cannot be disassembled and must be replaced as a single unit through an authorized vendor.
Memory Compartment
The memory compartment contains an expansion slot for additional memory. Memory installation or
upgrades must be done by an authorized retailer or else warranty will be void.
Air Vents
The air vents allow cool air to enter and warm air to exit the Notebook PC.
IMPORTANT! Make sure that paper, books, clothing, cables, or other objects do not
block any of the air vents or else overheating of the Notebook PC may occur.
Mini-PCI Compartment
Optional expansion cards can be installed in the mini-PCI compartment. An optional wireless LAN
module enables you to stay connected to your LAN while “roaming” to meeting, conference rooms, or
other office locations. Full-time, real-time access to email, Internet, and network resources means not
only an expanded office space, but also greater productivity.
Optical Drive Lock
The spring loaded latch automatically locks the optical drive when inserted. The optical drive can be
replaced with other options designed for this Notebook PC.
