Using the Notebook PC

Additional memory is optional and not required to use the Notebook

PC. Additional memory will increase application performance by de-

creasing hard disk access. This is more noticeable on newer software

that require more and more system resources. The Notebook PC comes

with some built-in memory. One standard 144-pin SO-DIMM (Small

Outline Dual Inline Memory Module) socket is available for system

memory expansion using common 3.3 Volt 133MHz SDRAM SO-DIMM modules. Currently, SO-

DIMM memory sizes are available up to 512MB 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. This Notebook PC supports high speed transfer modes up to 133MB/sec

(UltraATA/133) but is also backward compatible with PIO modes. The Notebook PC comes with a

removable 2.5" (6.35cm) wide and .374" (.95cm) high UltraATA/133/100/66 IDE hard disk drive with

current capacities up to 40GB. Current IDE hard drives support S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Re-

porting Technology) to detect hard disk errors or failures before they happen. Note: AiBox only sup-

ports ATA/33 transfer speed.

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.
