Knowing the Parts
2
The following describes the components on the bottom side of the Notebook PC as shown by the
illustration on the previous page.
Air Vent and Cooling Fan
The cooling fan turns ON when the temperature rises past a set threshold. The cooling fan is an extra
feature needed for upgrading to faster processors in the future. The air vents allow cool air to enter and
warm air to exit the Notebook PC. Do not block the air vents or else overheating may occur!
CPU Compartment
The CPU compartment contains a socket for mounting a central processing unit. CPU installation/
upgrades must be done by an authorized retailer or else warranty will be void.
Memory Compartment
The memory compartment contains two SO-DIMM slots for either one or two memory modules. Memory
installation/upgrades must be done by an authorized retailer or else warranty will be void.
Battery Lock
The battery is held by a spring lock and a manual lock. The spring loaded latch automatically locks the
battery pack when inserted. The manual lock is for added security to prevent the battery pack from
falling out. 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.
Audio Speaker
The built-in stereo speakers allows you to hear audio without additional attachments. The multimedia
sound system features an integrated digital audio controller that produces rich, vibrant sound in high
quality stereo. All audio features are software controlled.
