Heaters

Hard Disk Drive Heater

Your GoBook II has a hard disk drive (HDD) heater option to warm the HDD before spinning up in temperatures

below 5°C,the minimum safe operating temperature of the HDD. The heater is built into the removable HDD

module and operates as needed when the computer is turned on or is in an operational state. If the temperature is

below 5°C when booting or resuming you will see the message "Warming internal hard drive. Please wait...".

The unit will continue booting when it detects the HDD is warm enough to operate safely.

NOTE

If you are using the computer in a cold temperature environment and the battery level is too low for the

heater to operate, you will see the error message "Battery too low to warm the hard drive. Shutting down..." and

the computer will shut down. Apply external power and reboot.

LCD Heater

The GoBook II also has an optional CCFL heater to improve display brightness in a cold environment. The

heater consists of a film and heater strip that is bonded over the CCFL area of the display. It is designed to turn

on when the temperature is cold enough to impact display brightness.
