Battery Packs
Running the Notebook on Battery
Power
The notebook switches between AC power and battery
power according to the availability of an external AC power
source, always preferring AC power. If the notebook contains a
charged battery pack and is running on external AC power, the
notebook will switch to battery power only if the AC adapter is
disconnected from the notebook.

Understanding Drive Terms
Hard drives are for permanent storage of data files and software,
such as system files, applications, and drivers. A hard drive is
sometimes called a hard disk drive.
Optional disk drives (select models) include diskette drives. A
diskette drive is sometimes called a floppy disk drive or floppy
drive. Drives are often used to store or transport data.
Optical drives include CD and DVD drives. Optical drives are
used to store or transport data and to play music and movies.
DVD drives have a higher storage capacity than CD drives.

Optional HP USB Digital Drives (select models) are
pocket-sized, SD (Secure Digital) memory drives for storing and
transferring files such as digital pictures, music, video, or large
data files. An HP USB Digital Drive can be connected to an
optional Digital Bay or to an USB port with the HP USB Digital
Drive cable either retracted or extracted.
A diskette, disk, or disc that can be inserted or removed from a
drive is referred to as a drive medium. In this guide, a diskette is
used in a diskette drive, a disk is used in a high-capacity disk
drive, and a disc is used in an optical drive. Drive media include
diskettes, CDs, and DVDs.
Caring for Drives and Drive Media
Drives and drive media are fragile notebook components that
must be handled with care. The following cautions apply to all
drives. Cautions that concern specific procedures are included
with the procedures.

Caring for Drives
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the notebook or a drive and loss
of work:
■
Do not remove the internal hard drive except for repair or
replacement.
■
■
Do not try to remove a Digital Drive while it is still in use.
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components.
To prevent electrostatic damage to the notebook or a drive, follow
these 2 precautions: (1) Discharge yourself from static electricity
before handling a drive by touching a grounded metal object, and
(2) Avoid touching the connectors on a drive. For more information
about preventing electrostatic damage, refer on the Documentation
Library CD to the Regulatory and Safety Notices guide,
“Electrostatic Discharge” section.
Excessive force can damage drive connectors. When you insert a
drive, use only enough force to seat the drive.
Handle a drive carefully. Do not drop it.

■
Avoid exposing a hard drive or a diskette to devices with magnetic
fields. Products with magnetic fields include video and audio tape
erasure products, monitors, and speakers. Security devices with
magnetic fields include airport walk-through devices and security
wands. The airport security devices that check carry-on luggage,
usually while it is placed on a conveyor belt, use x-rays instead of
magnetism and will not damage a hard drive or a diskette.
Do not spray a drive with cleaners.
Avoid exposing a drive to liquids or temperature extremes.
If you mail a drive, ship it in packaging that protects it from shock,
vibration, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Label the
package “FRAGILE.”

Caring for Drive Media
Ä■
CAUTION: To prevent damage to drive media:
Do not open the metal shutter of a diskette or touch the disk within
the diskette case.
■ Do not expose a diskette to a strong magnetic field, such as the
security field used by a walk-through security device or a handheld
security wand.
■
Clean a CD or DVD only with a disc cleaning kit, available from
most electronics retailers.
Using Drive Media
Avoiding Standby and Hibernation
Ä
CAUTION: Initiating Standby or Hibernation while playing optical
drive media may stop the play or diminish the quality of the play.
Turn off all media before initiating Standby or Hibernation. If
Standby or Hibernation is accidentally initiated when an optical
drive is in use, you may see a warning message: “Putting the
computer into Hibernation or Standby may stop the playback. Do
you want to continue?” Select No.
Resume from Hibernation or Standby by pressing the power
button briefly. Audio and video may resume or you may need to
restart the drive media.

Making Wireless Network
Connections (Select Models)
Some notebook models are equipped with a wireless network
device that can connect by radio signals to an 802.11a, 802.11b,
or 802.11g wireless local area network (WLAN) and then access
computers and other resources on the network.
Hardware Guide

Modem and Network Connections
A wireless network provides all the functions of a typical “wired”
network, but also provides for “roaming.” A notebook that
connects to the network by radio rather than through cables can
allow you to move from place to place within the network—from
your office to a conference room, for example—and remain on
the network the entire time.
