IEEE 1394 port
The computer's IEEE 1394 port allows you to connect to an IEEE 1394
supported devices like a video camera or digital camera.
See your video or digital camera's documentation for details.
PC Card slot
The type II CardBus PC Card slot found on the left side of the computer
accepts credit-card-sized cards that enhance the usability and
expandability of the computer. These cards should have a PC Card logo
on them.
PC Cards (formerly PCMCIA) are add-on cards for portable computers,
giving you expansion possibilities long afforded by desktop PCs.
Popular PC cards include flash, fax/data modem, LAN, wireless LAN and
SCSI cards. CardBus improves on the 16-bit PC card technology by
expanding the bandwidth to 32 bits.
Note: Refer to your card’s manual for details on how to install and
use the card and its functions.

Port expansion devices
Two types of expansion devices are available for your computer:
I/O replicator - adds serial port and parallel port connections to
your computer.
EasyPort - adds a host of ports for your computer, and allows you
to connect and disconnect peripherals from your computer in one
quick step.
See your dealer for more information.
Upgrade options
Your computer delivers superior power and performance. However,
some users and the applications they use may demand more. This
computer allows you to upgrade key components when you need
increased performance.
Note: Contact your authorized dealer if you decide to perform a
key component upgrade.
Memory upgrade
Memory is expandable to 2 GB, employing 256/512/1024-MB industry
standard soDIMMs (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules). The
computer supports DDR (Double Data Rate) RAM.
There are two memory slots on your computer, one of which is
occupied by standard memory. You can upgrade memory by installing
a memory module into the one available slot, or replacing the standard
memory with a higher-capacity memory module.
Installing memory
Follow these steps to install memory:
1 Turn off the computer, unplug the AC adapter (if connected) and
remove the battery pack. Then turn the computer over to access its
base.
51
English
2 Remove the screws from the memory cover (a); then lift up and
remove the memory cover (b).

Frequently-asked questions
The following is a list of possible situations that may arise during the
use of your computer. Easy answers and solutions are provided for
each one.
I slid the power switch and opened the display, but the computer does
not start or boot-up.
Look at the Power indicator:
If it is not lit, no power is being applied to the computer. Check the
following:
If you are running on battery power, it may be low and unable
to power the computer. Connect the AC adapter to recharge
the battery pack.
Make sure that the AC adapter is plugged in properly to the
computer and to the power outlet.
If it is lit, check the following:
Is a non-bootable (non-system) CD in the optical drive?
Remove or replace it with a system diskette and press Ctrl-Alt-
Del to restart the system.
The operating system files may be damaged or missing. Insert the
startup disk you created during Windows setup into the optical
drive and press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart the system. This will
diagnose your system and make necessary fixes.
Nothing appears on the screen.
The computer’s power management system automatically blanks the
screen to save power. Press any key to turn the display back on.
If pressing a key does not turn the display back on, two things might
be the cause:
The brightness level might be too low. Press Fn-
(increase) and
Fn-
(decrease) to adjust the brightness level.
The display device might be set to an external monitor. Press the
display toggle hot key Fn-F5 to toggle the display back to the
computer.
If the Sleep indicator is lit, the computer is in Sleep mode. Slide
and release the power switch to resume.

Image is not full-screen.
The computer display has a native resolution of 1024 x 768 (XGA) for
the 14.1” and 1400 x 1050 (SXGA+) for the 15.0”. If you set the
resolution lower than this, the screen expands to fill the computer
display. Right-click on your Windows desktop and select Properties to
bring up the Display Properties dialog box. Then click on the Settings
tab to make sure that the resolution is set to the appropriate
resolution. Resolutions lower than the specified resolution are not full-
screen on the computer or on an external monitor.
No audio is heard from the computer.
Check the following:
The volume may be muted. In Windows, look at the volume
control (speaker) icon on the taskbar. If it is crossed-out, click on
the icon and deselect the Mute option.
The speakers may be turned off. Press Fn-F8 to turn the speakers
on (this hot key also turns the speakers off).
The volume level may be too low. In Windows, look at the volume
control icon on the taskbar. You can also use the volume control
buttons to adjust the volume. See “Hot keys” on page 17 for more
detail.
If headphones, earphones or external speakers are connected to
the line-out port on the computer’s rear panel, the internal
speakers automatically turn off.
I want to eject the optical drive tray without turning on the power. I
cannot eject the optical drive tray.
There is a mechanical eject button on the optical drive. Simply insert
the tip of a pen or paperclip and push to eject the tray.

The keyboard does not respond.
Try attaching an external keyboard to the USB 2.0 connector on the
left of the computer. If it works, contact your dealer or an authorized
service center as the internal keyboard cable may be loose.
The infrared port does not work.
Check the following:
Make sure that the infrared ports of the two devices are facing
each other (+/- 15 degrees) a maximum of 1 meter apart.
Make sure there is a clear path between the two infrared ports.
Nothing should be blocking the ports.
Make sure you have the appropriate software running on both
devices (for file transfers) or you have the appropriate drivers (for
printing to an infrared printer).
During the POST, press F2 to access the BIOS Utility and verify that
the infrared port is enabled.
Make sure both devices are IrDA-compliant.
The printer does not work.
Check the following:
Make sure that the printer is connected to a power outlet and that
it is turned on.
Make sure that the printer cable is connected securely to the
computer’s parallel port and the corresponding port on the
printer.
During POST, press F2 to access the BIOS Utility and verify that the
parallel port is enabled.
I want to set up my location to use the internal modem.
To properly use your communications software (e.g., HyperTerminal),
you need to set up your location:
