Knowing the Parts
The following describes the components on the bottom side of the Notebook PC as shown by the
illustration on the previous page.
Hard Drive Compartment
The hard drive compartment has a cover that is secured by the hard drive cover screw. When the cover

swapping or upgrading.
Cooling Fan & Vent
The cooling fan turns ON when the temperature rises past a set threshold. The bottom vent brings

Reset Button
reset
The reset button is used for rebooting the Notebook PC if <CTRL><ALT><DEL> or turning OFF the
power does not respond. To use this function, momentarily depress the button within the hole with a
pen and the Notebook PC will reboot. Do not use a pencil since the tip may break off in the hole.
Battery Compartment
The battery compartment's surface is actually combined with the battery pack in order to reduce thick-
ness. When the battery is released, the compartment cover and battery pack will be seen as a single unit.
The battery pack cannot be further disassembled and must be replaced as a single unit.
