6 Hard disk drive or solid state drive slot
Your computer might have a large-capacity, customer-upgradable hard disk drive that can meet a variety of
storage demands. To keep the drive safe, Active Protection System™ is installed on your computer. For
details, refer to “Active Protection System” on page 17
.
Some models are equipped with a solid state drive to provide enhanced performance, energy savings, and
reduced weight.
Note: The hidden service partition is the reason why there is less free space than expected on your hard
disk drive or solid state drive. This reduction is more noticeable on the solid state drive because of its
smaller capacity.
Status indicators
Your computer has two system-status indicators and a power-status indicator. The status indicators show
the current status of your computer.
