Installing a PC Card
Removing a PC Card
4.1.1 PC Card Types
The PC Card slot supports one Type II card. It also supports
CardBus technology and extended PC Cards. "Type" refers to the
card's thickness, not what it does.
A PC Card is not a bootable device.
4.1.2 Extended PC Cards
An extended PC Card is longer than a standard PC Card. When
using extended PC Cards, follow these precautions:
! Protect the exposed end of an installed card. If the end of the
card is struck, the system board may be damaged.
! Always remove an extended PC Card before packing your
notebook in its carry case.
4.1.3 Installing PC Cards
PC Cards may be 'hot-swapped', which means you can install a
card while your notebook is running. The card will be detected
automatically.
Usually PC Cards have a mark or symbol to show which end to
insert into the slot. Cards are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
Check the documents that came with your card if the orientation
is unclear.
1. Hold the card with its orientation symbol pointing into the
slot and the topside of the card facing up. The push-button
latch may need to be in before inserting the card.
2. Slide the card into the slot until it clicks into the connector.
3. If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card.
Check the card orientation and try again.
Your notebook will recognize most PC Cards and automatically
load the appropriate device driver. If the configuration program
tells you to load the manufacturer's drivers, use the floppy disk or
CD that came with the PC Card.
4.1.4 Removing PC Cards
Before removing a PC Card, stop it running from the
configuration utility on the taskbar. Failure to do so could
result in data loss. Never try to remove a PC Card by pulling
on its cable, if one is attached.
1. Press the release latch.
2. Press the latch again to eject the card.
3. Remove the card.
4.2
Adding and Removing SD Cards
Before removing a SD Card, stop it running from the
configuration utility on the taskbar. Failure to do so could
result in data loss.
Insert the SD card into the SD Card slot. This is the tiny slot
below the PC Card – the two slots are built into the same space
together.
To remove the SD Card, press it in gently. It pops out
automatically.
4.3
Printers
Check the printer documentation to check your printer has a
parallel interface.
If your printer did not come with a suitable printer cable, you can
purchase one from a computer or electronics store.
These instructions are for a parallel printer, the most common
type of interface.
1. Turn off your notebook.
2. Connect the printer cable to the printer and to your
notebook's parallel port.
3. Plug the printer's power cable into an electrical outlet.
For further steps, refer to the documentation that came with your
printer.
If you started your computer with a printer connected and turned
on, it may have been detected automatically (Plug and Play). If
not, then you may have to install the printer driver for your printer,
either using the instructions provided with your printer, or in
Windows XP via Start > Control Panel > Pick a Category… >
Printers or Other Hardware > Pick a task… > Add a Printer
> Add Printer Wizard or in the Control Panel Classic Interface,
Printers and Faxes > Add a Printer > Add Printer Wizard.
The Add Printer Wizard interface will take you through the steps
to connect your notebook and printer.
4.4
Memory Modules
You can add more memory modules to your computer in order to
give it improved performance.
To install a memory module:
1. Remove the two screws securing the Memory Module Cover.
2. Lift off the Memory Module Cover.
3. There are two memory module ports here. The first one is already

The Bridge Battery
In the event that you are working on battery power and your
battery dies, the built-in “bridge battery” gives you 3 minutes
time to either plug into an AC power supply or switch to a new
battery.
First, you must enter the sleep mode (this model computer does
NOT support hot-swapping the battery while the computer is up
and running normally; hot swapping a battery could result in an
immediate shut down and the loss of data.)
Next, slide the battery pack out, then insert a fresh battery. The
bridge battery ensures that you do not lose any data while your
computer is in sleep mode during this time without a battery.
The battery used in this computer may present the risk of
harm or damage to you or your computer if mishandled.
• Do not disassemble, incinerate, or otherwise short out
the external contact points.
• Dispose of a used battery properly.
• Do not put the battery in extreme heat, such as a fire.
If you must replace the bridge battery, please contact your sales
representative.
5.1.4 SpeedStep
Your notebook is equipped SpeedStep technology to better
manage power consumption. It changes the processor speed to
find the best balance between your computing performance and
power consumption needs. Higher speeds enjoy better
performance, while slower speeds conserve more power.
In Windows XP, the processor's performance level depends on
the Power Scheme you select (see Power Options Properties).
You do not need to make any further adjustments to set the
performance level. Each preset power scheme has different
time-out settings for entering standby mode, hibernate mode,
turning off the display, and turning off the hard drive.
For example, the Portable/Laptop mode automatically changes
SpeedStep modes depending on if you are running the computer
on AC power or batteries in order to prolong battery usage while
still providing optimal performance.
You can also individually alter and save each of these settings
and schemes if desired.
Windows XP automatically chooses the SpeedStep mode to find
the most appropriate speed for your processor according to the
Power Scheme you choose and your current system demands.

5.2.1 Battery Performance
Using a battery lets you work with your notebook without
connecting it to an electrical outlet. Your notebook comes with
one 8-cell Li-Ion battery pack installed, which will give you
approximately 4 hours of operating time.
The performance of the battery can vary, depending on operating
conditions. Your battery may last less time if you are running
power-intensive programs, playing CDs or DVDs, using PC
Cards or have high display-brightness settings.
The Power Management Options can be set to alert you when the
battery charge is low.
Ensure any battery you use is compatible. Failure to do so
may risk fire or explosion. For more details on purchasing
compatible batteries, talk to your notebook retailer.
Batteries should never be disposed of with household waste.
Contact your local waste disposal or environmental agency
for advice on disposing of used lithium-ion batteries.

When your notebook is running on battery power, you can check
icon on the
the remaining battery charge, double click the
taskbar. For more details, including how to make the icon appear
on the taskbar if it is not already, see Power Management.
5.2.4 Low-Battery Warning
After a low-battery warning, save your work immediately,
then connect your notebook to an electrical outlet. Hibernate
mode will begin automatically if the battery runs completely
out of power.
You will hear the low-battery warning when the battery charge is
approximately 90 percent depleted. Your notebook will beep
once, indicating approximately 10 to 15 minutes of battery
operating time remain. If you do not connect your notebook to
alternative power source during that time, there will be a periodic
beep. Your notebook will automatically enter hibernate mode if
the battery charge reaches a critically low level. For more
information, see Power Management.
5.2.5 Charging the Battery
When connected to an electrical outlet, a completely
discharged battery will charge in 3 to 5 hours (depending on
whether your notebook is on or off and what programs, if
any, are running). You can leave the battery in your notebook
as long as you like. The battery’s internal circuitry prevents
the battery from overcharging.
Before using the battery for the first time it must be charged.
Connect the computer to an electrical outlet and allow the battery
to fully charge, indicated by the battery indicator light on the
front panel of the notebook.
Once a battery pack is fully charged for the first time, use
your notebook on battery power until the battery discharges
completely. This will extend battery life, and helps ensure
accurate monitoring of battery capacity.
If necessary, the battery will be charged whenever your notebook
is connected to an electrical outlet.
The battery will not be charged if it or your notebook is too hot,
either from use or being in a hot environment. If this occurs the
battery indicator will light red. Disconnect your notebook from
any electrical outlet, and allow it and the battery to cool to room
temperature. You can then reconnect your notebook to the
electrical outlet and charge the battery. The battery indicator
will also light red if the battery is bad and needs replacing.
5.2.6 Removing the Battery
Before removing the battery, ensure your notebook is turned off.
1. Slide and hold the battery release latch
2. Remove the battery
5.2.7 Installing a Battery
1. Slide the battery into the bay
2. Press it into place gently but firmly until the latch locks it into place
5.2.8 Storing a Battery
If storing your notebook for an extended period of time, remove
the battery. Fully charge the battery before using your notebook
again.
5.2.9 Working With Extra Battery Packs
If you spend a lot of time traveling, working without connecting
your notebook to an electrical outlet, it may be a good idea to
carry additional battery packs so you can quickly replace a
discharged battery and continue working.
5.2.10 Maximizing Battery Life
A battery can be recharged many times, but over time it will lose
its ability to hold a charge. To maximize battery life:
•
If you will not be using your notebook for a long period,
remove the battery.
•
If you have a spare battery pack, alternate the batteries.
•
Ensure your notebook is off when replacing the battery.
•
Store spare battery packs in a cool, dry place, out of direct
sunlight.
