Product Description
1.5Design overview
This section presents a design overview of key parts and features
of the computer. Refer to Chapter 3, “Illustrated Parts Catalog,”
to identify replacement parts, and Chapter 5, “Removal and
Replacement Procedures,” for disassembly steps.
The system board provides the following device connections:
■ AMD Mobile Turion and Mobile AMD Sempron processors
■ Audio
■ Display
■ ExpressCard
■ Fan
■ Hard drive
■ Intel Core Duo processors
■ Keyboard and TouchPad
■ Memory module
■ Mini Card module
CAUTION: To properly ventilate the computer, allow at least a 7.6-cm
Ä
(3-inch) clearance on the left and right sides of the computer.
The computer uses an electric fan for ventilation. The fan is
controlled by a temperature sensor and is designed to turn on
automatically when high temperature conditions exist. These
conditions are affected by high external temperatures, system
power consumption, power management/battery conservation
configurations, battery fast charging, and software. Exhaust air is
displaced through the ventilation grill located on the left side of
the computer.
