Memory (RAM) Compartment
The memory compartment provides expansion capabilities for additional memory. Additional
memory will increase application performance by decreasing hard disk access. 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. Visit an authorized service center or retailer for information
on memory upgrades for your Notebook PC. Only purchase expansion modules from authorized retailers of this
Notebook PC to ensure maximum compatibility and reliability.
Hard Disk Drive Compartment
The hard disk drive is secured in a compartment. Visit an authorized service center or retailer for
information on hard disk drive upgrades for your Notebook PC. Only purchase hard disk drives
from authorized retailers of this Notebook PC to ensure maximum compatibility and reliability.
Battery Pack
The battery pack is automatically charged when the Notebook PC is 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 purchased as a single unit.

the Notebook PC while it is in operation or recently been in operation. High tempera-
tures are normal during charging or operation. Do not use on soft surfaces such as

processors in the future. Some models feature a ULV design for compactness and may not
be upgraded. Visit an authorized service center or retailer for information on upgrades.
WARNING! End-user removal of the CPU or hard disk drive will void the warranty.
