maintains power to the Notebook PC when AC power is
not connected. This allows use when moving temporarily
between locations. Battery time varies by usage and by
the specifications for this Notebook PC. The battery pack

Memory (RAM) Compartment
The memory compartment provides expansion capabilities
for additional memory. Additional memory will increase

the system and configures CMOS accordingly during the
POST (Power-On-Self-Test) process. There is no hardware or
software (including BIOS) setup required after the memory
is installed. Visit an authorized service center or retailer for
information on memory upgrades for your Notebook PC.
Only purchase expansion modules from authorized retailers
of this Notebook PC to ensure maximum compatibility and
reliability.
