Memory Compartment
Found on the underside of the notebook is the memory compartment. Underneath the cover
are two 144-pin SODIMM memory slots for inserting and upgrading the system memory
using 64MB to 512MB SODIMM. The notebook uses DDR 266Mhz SDRAM modules for
faster memory access. You can upgrade the total memory up to 1GMB. One is inserted with a
SDRAM configured by the factory. The other is empty for upgrade use.
Battery Release Latch
Also found on the underside of the notebook is the battery bay latch. To remove the battery
pack, you need to push aside this latch and at the same time pull the battery pack.
Battery Bay
The battery compartment stores the Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack for off-the-cord operation.
The battery pack is instantly charge whenever you connect the AC adapter to the notebook. It is
very important to always have the battery installed on the notebook to have it always charged and
conditioned by the AC adapter. Normal operating time using Li-Ion battery pack is close to 2.5
hours with power management.
Mini-PCI Socket Compartment
This compartment houses the mini-PCI socket for inserting the internal LAN. Refer to
Chapter 2 of User Manual for installing the LAN module.
