A modular bay that supports a CD-ROM drive, diskette drive, second battery or hard-disk drive, or LS-
120 drive module. To make the computer as light as possible when you travel, use the special travel

NOTE: Your computer was shipped with a diskette drive in the modular bay. For information on
removing the diskette drive and installing a different device in the bay, see
A 64-MB synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) module is standard. Memory can be
increased up to 256 MB by installing combinations of 32-, 64-, or 128-MB SDRAM modules in the two
memory module sockets on the system board.
Two power conservation modes—suspend mode and suspend-to-disk mode—that help you conserve
battery power. If the batteries run out of power, suspend-to-disk mode prevents data loss by copying
all system data to the hard-disk drive and turning off the computer.

Do not use the batteries with other computers, and do not use batteries from other computers
with the Dell Latitude CP Series.
WARNING: Do not puncture or incinerate the battery. When your battery no longer holds
a charge, call your local waste disposal agency or environmental agency for advice on
disposing the computer's lithium ion battery. The lithium ion technology used in the
battery is significantly less hazardous to the environment than the lithium metal
technology used in some other batteries (such as watch batteries).
