Operation Manual

Upgrading and Options

Caution:

We recommend that you contact your dealer

and ask them to install any additional components or

optional modules. Installing these components yourself

may cause damage to your system.

This chapter gives short descriptions of how to add devices to your

computer using the ports, connectors, and devices of the notebook.

Your notebook is designed to provide the best technology currently

available, but recognizing that computer hardware and software

change quickly, your notebook can easily be upgraded and expanded

to meet your changing computing needs.

Nowadays, many devices support Plug and Play technology. This

means that Windows 95/98 can automatically detect the device when it

is connected to your system. If the device requires a driver, Windows

will load it automatically. If Windows does not have the device driver

stored on your notebook, it will ask you to supply either the original

Windows CD or diskettes, or a CD or diskettes from the device

manufacturer so that the device driver can be installed.

Troubleshooting Devices

If you have problems getting a device to operate, it may be because

the device requires resources that are already being used by another

device, for example an IRQ (interrupt request) or an address space.
