BOTTOM COMPONENTS
The following is a brief description of your LifeBook
notebook’s bottom panel components.
Port Replicator Connector
This connector allows you to connect the optional Port
Replicator to your notebook.
Memory Upgrade Compartment
Your notebook comes with high speed Double Data Rate
Synchronous Dynamic RAM 2 (DDR2 SDRAM). The
memory upgrade compartment allows you to expand
the system memory capacity of your notebook, thus
improving overall performance. (See Memory Upgrade
Module on page 44 for more information). Under normal
circumstances, it should not be necessary to open this
compartment.
Lithium ion Battery Bay
The battery bay contains the internal Lithium ion
battery. It can be opened for the removal of the battery
when stored over a long period of time or for swapping
a discharged battery with a charged Lithium ion battery.
(See Lithium ion Battery on page 35 for more information)

The configuration label shows the model number and
other information about your notebook. In addition, the
configuration portion of the label has the serial number
and manufacturer information that you will need to give
your support representative. It identifies the exact
version of various components of your notebook.

Compartment
To protect your notebook from damage
and to optimize system performance, be
sure to keep all air all vents unobstructed,
clean, and clear of debris. This may
require periodic cleaning, depending upon
the environment in which the system is
used.
Do not operate the notebook in areas
where the air vents can be obstructed,
such as in tight enclosures or on soft
surfaces like a bed or cushion.
