support up to four IDE hard drives. When using two hard drives in the
computer, one of the hard drives is installed in the dedicated hard drive
bay and the other in the MultiBay.
NOTE: The dedicated hard drive bay provides limited support for the Compaq
LTE Elite hard drive. See Appendix C for details.
The hard drive remains powered off from Standby (Suspend) until the first
access occurs. The hard drive is powered off during Standby (Suspend).
The cooling fan is mounted in the system unit on the left side at the
ventilation exhaust port. Functioning as an exhaust fan, it provides air
flow across the electronic components for cooling. The fan plugs into a
2-pin connector on the system board.
The I/O connector panel is an integral part of the system board. In
addition to the I/O panel, the system board supports the following:
o PC card rails and connectors
o Battery bay contacts
o Hard drive bay connector
o MultiBay mass storage device connector
o MultiBay battery contacts
o Power board connectors
o Processor board connectors
o Fan connector
o LCD panel connector
o Speaker connector
o Integrated microphone connector
o External microphone connector
o Volume control
The CPU cover, display unit, keyboard, processor board, and power board
must be removed prior to removing the system board. The system board is
secured with two screwlocks on the I/O connector panel, a standoff in the
left rear corner, and three screws.
IMPORTANT: Correct positioning of the system board is essential for proper
interconnect of the computer with either expansion base. When
installing a system board, be sure the locating pins near the
mounting screws properly engage the system board.
