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 (lock 1) automatically locks the battery pack when inserted but must be rein-
forced with a manually operated latch (lock 2). 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.
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.
Audio Speakers
The built-in speaker allows you to hear audio without additional attachments. The multimedia sound
system features an integrated digital audio controller that produces rich, vibrant sound (results im-
proved with external stereo headphones or speakers). All audio features are software controlled.
