Knowing the Parts

Shutdown Button (Emergency)

In case your operating system cannot properly turn OFF or restart, the shutdown button

can be pressed with a straightened paper clip to shutdown the Notebook PC.

Battery Lock - Spring

The spring battery lock is used to keep the battery pack secured. When the battery pack is

inserted, it will automatically lock. To remove the battery pack, this spring lock must be held

in the unlocked position.

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

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.
