Battery Lock - Spring
The spring battery lock is used to keep the battery pack secured. When the battery pack is in-
serted, 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. Addi-
tional 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.
Central Processor Unit (CPU) Compartment
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.
Cooling Fan
The cooling fan removes excess heat depending on temperature threshold settings.
IMPORTANT! Make sure that paper, books, clothing, cables, or other objects
do not block any of the air vents or else overheating may occur.
Hard Disk Drive Compartment
The hard disk drive is secured in a compartment. Visit an authorized service center or retailer for
information on hard disk drive upgrades for your Notebook PC. Only purchase hard disk drives
from authorized retailers of this Notebook PC to ensure maximum compatibility and reliability.
Battery Pack
The battery pack is automatically charged when the Notebook PC is 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.
