1-12 System Overview
Internal Components
Review the following sections for a description of the system’s internal hardware.
Hard Disk Drive
A standard 2.5-inch, 9.5 mm or 12.7 mm hard disk drive ships with the system.
File Bay
The NEC Versa LXi ships with a 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB diskette drive or the SuperDisk drive
installed in the file bay.
VersaBay III
A 24X CD-ROM drive or a DVD-ROM drive comes installed in the NEC VersaBay III on the
front of the system.
CPU Board
The CPU board is a rectangular-shaped board located above the main board. The CPU board is
part of a subassembly, which includes a heat sink and the CPU board.
Audio Board
The audio board provides the NEC Versa system with its audio I/O capabilities via a line-in
jack, headphone and microphone jacks. It is situated on top of the main board.
Main Battery
The twelve-cell Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery provides the main power source in your NEC
Versa LXi computer. See Chapter 9 for a list of battery specifications. In addition to this battery,
the CMOS battery and bridge battery also provide system power.
CMOS Battery
This lithium battery provides battery backup and prevents data loss in the system's
complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) RAM. This memory area contains
information on the system's configuration, for example, date, time, drives, and memory. The
CMOS battery charges when your NEC Versa is connected to AC power. The CMOS battery
may discharge completely if the NEC Versa notebook remains unused for an extended period of
time.
Bridge Battery
The bridge battery saves your system status in Suspend (Windows 95) or Standby (Windows 98)
mode, giving you time to install a fully charged battery or plug in AC power when your battery
charge becomes low.
Connect your NEC Versa system to AC power for a full 24 hours before
using it on battery power for the first time. Doing so insures that the bridge battery is fully charged
and that no data is lost during a battery change.
