Chapter 6: Upgrading The Computer

Overview

This chapter contains information on upgrading the computer. Follow the steps out-
lined to make the desired upgrades. If you have any trouble or problems you can con-
tact your service representative for further help. Before you begin you will need:

• A small crosshead or Phillips screwdriver
• A small regular slotted (flathead) screwdriver
• An antistatic wrist strap

Before working with the internal components you will need to wear an antistatic
wrist strap to ground yourself because static electricity may damage the compo-
nents.

The chapter includes:

• Removing the Battery
• Upgrading the Hard Disk Drive
• Upgrading the System Memory (RAM)
• Upgrading the Optical (CD/DVD) Device

Please make sure that you review each procedure before you perform it.

Warranty Warning

Please check with your
service representative
before undertaking any
upgrade procedures to
find out if this will VOID
your warranty.
