Using the Portable Desktop PC

System Memory

Only one memory slot is available on this device. But, a
memory with higher capacity will increase application
performance by decreasing hard disk access. This is more
noticeable on newer software that require more and more
system resources. A standard 184-pin DDR-DIMM
(Double Data Rate - Dual Inline Memory Module) socket is available for system memory upgrade
using a higher capacity DDR DIMM module. Currently, DDR-DIMM memory sizes are available in
64MB, 128MB, 256MB, or 512MB for each module. The BIOS automatically detects the amount of
memory in the system and configures CMOS accordingly during the POST (Power-On-Self-Test) process.
There is no hardware or software (including BIOS) setup required after the memory is installed. Only
purchase memory modules from authorized retailers of this Portable Desktop PC to ensure compatibility
and reliability.

Hard Disk Drive

Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster speeds than floppy disk drives and
CD-ROM drives. Enhanced IDE drives provide a reliable, fast, and cost-effective mass storage solution
in the PC storage industry. The high speed transfer modes supported are UltraATA/100 up to 100MB/
sec and PIO mode 4 up to 16.6MB/sec. The Portable Desktop PC comes with a removable 2.5” (6.35cm)
wide and .374” (.95cm) high UltraATA/100/66 IDE hard disk drive with current capacities up to 40GB.
Current IDE hard drives support S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) to detect
hard disk errors or failures before they happen.

Important Handling Note

Improper handling during transit may damage the hard disk drive. Handle the Portable Desktop PC
carefully and keep it away from static electricity and strong vibrations or impact. The hard disk drive is
the most sensitive component of the Portable Desktop PC and will likely be the first or only component
that is damaged if the Portable Desktop PC is dropped.

Processor and Hard Disk Drive Upgrades

Visit an authorized service center or retailer for processor upgrades.

WARNING! End-user removal of the CPU or hard disk drive will void the warranty.

CAUTION! This Portable Desktop PC does not support EDO DRAM or SDRAM.
