and components
•
Switch the notebook off and pull the power plug out of the mains socket.
•
Remove the battery.

Take care when you use the locking mechanisms on the battery and any other component.
•
Never use sharp objects such as screwdrivers, scissors or knives as leverage to remove covers.
Notes
Board
ESD
Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are marked with the label
shown.
When handling boards
fi
tted with ESDs, you must always observe the following
points:
•
You must always discharge static build up (e.g. by touching a grounded
object) before working.
•
The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
•
Remove the power plug from the mains supply before inserting or removing
boards containing ESDs.
•
Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.
•
Never touch pins or conductors on boards
fi
tted with ESDs.

The hard disk is the most important storage medium of your notebook. You can work considerably
faster and more ef

ciently if you copy applications and
fi
les from CDs to your hard disk.
When the hard disk is accessed, the hard disk indicator lights up in the status indicator panel.
