4 Using the Notebook PC Notebook PC Upgrades System Memory Expansion Additional memory will increase application performance by decreasing hard disk access. This is more noticeable on newer software that require more and more system resources. 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 maximum compatibility and reliability. Visit an authorized service center or retailer for information on memory upgrades for your Notebook PC. Hard Disk Drive Upgrades Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster speeds than floppy disk drives and optical drives. The Notebook PC comes with a replaceable 2.5" (6.35cm) wide and approximately .374" (.95cm) high IDE hard disk drive with current capacities up to 80GB. 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. Most Notebook PC models use PATA (Parallel ATA) hard drives, but selected models use SATA (Serial ATA) hard drives. When buying a new hard drive, always visit an authorized service center or retailer. IMPORTANT! Poor handling of the Notebook PC may damage the hard disk drive. Handle the Notebook PC gently and keep it away from static electricity and strong vibrations or impact. The hard disk drive is the most delicate component and will likely be the first or only component that is damaged if the Notebook PC is dropped. Processor Upgrades Some Notebook PC models feature an upgradable processor design for faster performance in the future. Some Notebook PC models feature a ULV design for compactness and may not be upgraded. Visit an authorized service center or retailer for information on upgrades. WARNING! End-user removal of the CPU or hard disk drive will void the warranty. 57

Additional memory will increase application performance by decreasing hard disk access. This is more
noticeable on newer software that require more and more system resources. 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

Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster speeds than floppy disk drives and
optical drives. The Notebook PC comes with a replaceable 2.5” (6.35cm) wide and approximately .374”
(.95cm) high IDE hard disk drive with current capacities up to

. Current IDE hard drives support
S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) to detect hard disk errors or failures before they
