Flash Memory Card Reader

Normally a PCMCIA memory card reader must be purchased separately in order to use memory cards

from devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones, and PDAs. This Notebook PC has

a single built-in memory card reader that can read the following flash memory cards: Secure Digital

(SD), Multi-Media Card (MMC), Memory Stick (MS), Memory Stick Select (MS Select), Memory

Stick Duo (with MS adapter), Memory Stick Pro, and Memory Stick Pro Duo (with MS Pro adapter).

Memory Sticks may be standard or with MagicGate technology. The built-in memory card reader is not

only convenient, but also faster than most other forms of memory card readers because it utilizes the

high-bandwidth PCI bus.

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 2.5” (6.35cm) wide and approximately .374” (.95cm) high hard disk drive.

Current hard drives support S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technol-

ogy) 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.
