In this chapter, you will learn how to upgrade the DRAM, hard disk drive, and to install the optional wireless LAN mini PCI card. Warning: We strongly recommend you sending your notebook back to your dealer or agent for the specification upgrading. When you upgrade your system, please turn off the power, disconnect the LAN and Modem cable first for your safety.
Upgrading the Hard Disk Drive Replacing the original drive with one of larger capacity can increase the hard drive capacity of your computer. The computer uses a 9.5 mm (height), 2.5-inch Serial ATA type hard disk. Be sure to make a backup copy of all your data before attempting this operation. Hard drive upgrade is a delicate process.

Un-screw the two screw that lock the HDD compartment. Slide the HDD into the direction of the arrow as shown in the illustration. Pull up the HDD away from the compartment.
Upgrading the System Memory Many applications will generally run faster when the computer’s dynamic memory capacity is increased. The computer provides two DDRII memory sockets, located underneath the keyboard. You can increase the amount of memory by replacing the existing one with a dual inline memory module (commonly known as DIMM) of a higher capacity.

Your computer has been fully tested and complies with the system specifications before shipping. However, incorrect operations and/or mishandling may cause problems. This chapter provides a reference for identifying and correcting common hardware and software problems that you may encounter. When you encounter a problem, you should first try to go through the recommendations in this chapter.
Be sure you have not performed an incorrect setting on the hardware devices in the BIOS Setup utility. A faulty setting may cause the system to misbehave. If you are not sure of the changes you made, try to restore all the settings to factory defaults. Be sure all the device drivers are installed properly.

Select Recording and click the OK button. After Click OK button, the recording volume control panel will appear. Go to [Start >...
Many browsers store files in the hard drive as a cache to speed up the performance. Check the program’s Online Help for instructions on decreasing the cache size or on removing temporary Internet files. Empty the Recycle Bin to create more disk space. When you delete files, Windows saves them to the Recycle Bin.
If the disk cannot be ejected, it may be mechanically jammed. Straighten out a paper clip and insert it to a tiny hole next to the eject button. This should reject the disk tray. If not, return the unit for repair. Do not forcefully pull on the disk tray. The Combo or DVD RW drive (optional device) cannot record - You need to purchase and install a burner utility program to record files to a blank media.
The characters on the screen repeat while I type. You may be holding the keys down too long while you’re typing. Keep the keyboard clean. Dust and dirt under the keys could cause them to stick. Configure the keyboard to wait longer before the auto repeat feature starts. To adjust this feature, Go to [Start >...

Network Adapter / Ethernet Problems The Ethernet adapter does not work - Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager]. Double- click on Network Adapters and check if Intel Gigabit PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter appears as one of the adapters.
The PC card cannot be recognized - Windows NT4.0 does not support PCMCIA (PC Card) function. You may need an external program for this. Make sure the card is fully inserted; the outer end of the card should be even with the edge of the computer.
This may be normal for Windows when it is processing other CPU-intensive programs in the background or when the system is accessing slow-speed devices such the floppy disk drive. You may be running too many applications. Try to close some applications or increase system memory for higher performance.
Firewire (IEEE1394) and USB2.0 Problems The USB device does not work - Windows NT 4.0 does not support USB protocols Check the settings in the Windows Control Panel. Make sure you have installed the necessary device drivers. Contact the device vendor for additional support. The IEEE1394 port does not work - Go to [Start >...
