Using the Notebook PC
Hard Disk Drive
Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster speeds than
floppy disk drives and optical drives. The Notebook PC comes with a replace-
able hard disk drive. Current hard drives support S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and
Reporting Technology) to detect hard disk errors or failures before they happen.
When replacing or upgrading the hard drive, always visit an authorized service center
or retailer for this Notebook PC.
IMPORTANT! Poor handling of the Notebook PC may damage the hard disk drive.
Handle the Notebook PC gently and keep it away from static electricity and strong
vibrations or impact. The hard disk drive is the most delicate component and will
likely be the first or only component that is damaged if the Notebook PC is dropped.

Memory (RAM)
Additional memory will increase application performance by decreasing hard
disk access. The BIOS automatically detects the amount of memory in the sys-
tem 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.
