Page: 13 / 110

System Overview 1-3
Internally, the system board provides a Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (SO-DIMM)
socket supporting synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) and a Mini PCI
socket for an optional Mini PCI module. Main system memory is upgradeable to a total of
640 MB of RAM (128 MB on the system board and a 512-MB SO-DIMM). The system board
has an ATI Mobility M6DC graphics chip and 16 MB of video memory.
The PowerMate eco design features easy access to the optical drive, hard drive, SO-DIMM
socket, and Mini PCI socket for easy upgrades and service. A release button at the rear of unit
releases the optical drive from its bay. The rear cover and the hard drive assembly are removable
without tools. Easy access to front panel and LCD panel components makes servicing simple.
