2 Knowing the Parts Emergency Shutdown Button In case your operating system cannot properly turn OFF or restart, the shutdown button can be pressed with a straightened paper clip to shutdown the Notebook PC. Mini-PCI Slot An optional expansion card can be installed in the mini-PCI compartment. An optional wireless LAN mini-PCI module enables you to stay connected to your LAN while "roaming" to meeting, conference rooms, or other office locations. Full-time, real-time access to email, Internet, and network resources means not only an expanded office space, but also greater productivity. Memory Slot The memory compartment contains an expansion slot for additional memory. Memory installation or upgrades must be done by an authorized retailer or else warranty will be void. Battery Lock The battery lock is used to keep the battery pack secured. Usage details are described in the battery section later in this manual. Stereo Speakers The built-in stereo speaker system allows you to hear audio without additional attachments. The multimedia sound system features an integrated digital audio controller that produces rich, vibrant sound (results improved with external stereo headphones or speakers). Audio features are software controlled. Battery Pack The battery pack is automatically charged when connected to an AC power source and maintains power to the Notebook PC when AC power is not connected. This allows use when moving temporarily between locations. Battery time varies by usage and by the specifications for this Notebook PC. The battery pack cannot be disassembled and must be replaced as a single unit through an authorized vendor. Hard Disk Drive The hard disk drive is secured in a compartment. Hard disk drive upgrades are to be done by authorized service centers or dealers only. 15
