1.4 Design Overview

This section presents a design overview of key parts and features of the computer. For
assembly/disassembly instructions for the parts described in this section, refer to
Chapter 5.

System Board

The system board provides the following device connections:
Memory expansion board
Diskette drive
Hard drive
CD-ROM drive
Display
Keyboard/EasyPoint III pointing device
Audio
Pentium II processor
Fan
PC Cards
Modem
The computer is equipped with a 3.1-volt, Intel Mobile Pentium II 266-MHz processor.
For ventilation, an electrical fan is installed. The fan operates on from 5 to 12 volts and
is controlled by a temperature sensor. The fan is designed to turn on automatically when
high temperature conditions exist. These conditions are affected by high external
temperatures, system power consumption, power management/battery conservation
configurations, battery fast charging, and software applications. Exhaust air is displaced
through the ventilation grill located on the left side of the computer.
CAUTION: To properly ventilate the computer, allow at least a 3-inch (7.6 cm) clearance
on the left and right sides of the computer.
