WLAN Expansion Compartment

The WLAN expansion compartment contains a slot to accomodate a wireless networking card in order
to wirelessly connect to network access points or other wireless networking devices.

Battery Pack

The battery pack is automatically charged when 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.

Battery Lock - Manual

position to insert or remove the battery pack. Move the manual lock to the locked position after insert-
ing the battery pack.

Central Processor (CPU)

Some Notebook PC models feature a socketed-processor design to allow upgrading to faster 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.

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.

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.
