Battery Lock
The battery is held by a spring lock. The spring loaded latch automatically locks the battery pack when
inserted. Holding this in the unlock position will allow battery removal. Usage details are described in
the battery section later in this manual.
Battery Pack
The battery pack is actually combined with the Notebook PC’s surface in order to reduce thickness.
When the battery is released, the surface and battery pack will be seen as a single unit. The battery pack
cannot be further disassembled and must be replaced as a single unit.
Hard Disk Drive Compartment
The hard disk drive is secured in a compartment. Hard disk drive upgrades are to be done by authorized
service centers or dealers only.
Memory Compartment
The memory compartment contains an expansion slot for additional memory. Memory installation or
upgrades must be done by an authorized retailer or else warranty will be void.
Mini PCI Compartment
Optional expansion cards can be installed in the mini-pci compartment. An optional wireless LAN
module enables you to stay connected to your LAN while “roaming” to meeting, conference rooms, or
other office locations. Full-time, real-time access to email, Internet, and network resources means not
only an expanded office space, but also greater productivity.
