Using the Notebook PC
System Memory Expansion
Memory must be installed in order to use the Notebook PC. Under some
circumstances, you may find additional memory is required. This is
particularly true as applications become more complex. Expanding sys-
tem memory is one method of increasing system performance by de-
creasing hard disk access. The Notebook PC comes with no memory
built-in. Two standard 144-pin SO-DIMM (Small Outline Dual Inline
Memory Module) sockets are available for system memory expansion using common 3.3 Volt 133MHz
SDRAM SO-DIMM modules. Currently, SO-DIMM memory sizes are available in 64MB, 128MB or
256MB for each module. The BIOS automatically detects the amount of memory in the system and
configures CMOS accordingly during the POST (Power-On-Self-Test) process. There is no hardware
or software (including BIOS) setup required after the memory is installed. Only purchase expansion
modules from authorized retailers of this Notebook PC to ensure compatibility and reliability.
CAUTION! This Notebook PC does not support EDO DRAM.
Hard Disk Drive
Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster speeds than floppy disk drives and
CD-ROM drives. Enhanced IDE drives provide a reliable, fast, and cost-effective mass storage solution
in the PC storage industry. The high speed transfer modes supported are UltraATA/66 up to 66MB/sec
and PIO mode 4 up to 16.6MB/sec. The Notebook PC comes with a removable 2.5” (6.35cm) wide and
.374” (.95cm) high UltraATA/100/66 IDE hard disk drive with current capacities up to 30GB. Current
IDE hard drives support S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) to detect hard disk
errors or failures before they happen.
Important Handling Note
Improper handling during transit may damage the hard disk drive. Handle the Notebook PC carefully
and keep it away from static electricity and strong vibrations or impact. The hard disk drive is the most
sensitive component of the Notebook PC and will likely be the first or only component that is damaged
if the Notebook PC is dropped.
Processor & Hard Disk Drive Upgrades
Visit an authorized service center or retailer for processor upgrades.
WARNING! End-user removal of the CPU or hard disk drive will void the warranty.
