Knowing the Parts

The following describes the components on the bottom side of the Notebook PC as shown by the
illustration on the previous page.
Air Vent and Cooling Fan
The cooling fan turns ON when the temperature rises past a set threshold. The cooling fan is an extra
feature needed for upgrading to faster processors in the future. The air vents allow cool air to enter and
warm air to exit the Notebook PC. Do not block the air vents or else overheating may occur!
Memory Compartment
The memory compartment contains 2 SO-DIMM slots for memory installation. There are no onboard
memory so at least one memory module must be installed. Memory installation/upgrades must be done
by an authorized retailer or else warranty will be void.
Mini-PCI
Mini-PCI is used for Notebook PC expansion cards in the same way PCI cards are used in desktop PCs.
This expansion method is strictly for proprietary (manufacture designed) components.
Reset Button
The reset button is used for resetting the Notebook PC if <CTRL><ALT><DEL> or turning OFF the
power does not respond. To use this function, momentarily depress the button within the hole with a
pen or paper clip and the Notebook PC will restart. Do not use a pencil since the tip may break off in the
hole.
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.
Battery Lock
The battery is held by a spring lock and a manual lock. The spring loaded latch automatically locks the
battery pack when inserted. The manual lock is for added security to prevent the battery pack from
falling out. Usage details are described in the battery section later in this manual.
