IMPORTANT! Never remove cards while or immediately after reading, copying, for-
matting, or deleting data on the card or else data loss may occur.

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 flash memory cards as shown below. 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 replaceable 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 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.
