1.8Design Overview
This section presents a design overview of key parts and features
of the tablet PC. 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:
■ Memory module
■ Hard drive
■ Display
■ Optional keyboard and pointing stick
■ Audio
■ Intel Pentium-M or Celeron processor
■ Fan
■ PC Card
■ Secure Digital (SD) Memory card (not SDIO)
■ External MultiBay
■ Modem or modem/NIC
CAUTION: To properly ventilate the tablet PC, allow at least a 7.6-cm
Ä
(3-inch) clearance around the sides of the tablet PC.
The tablet PC uses an electric fan for ventilation. The fan is
controlled by a temperature sensor and is designed to come 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 applications.
Exhaust air is displaced through the ventilation grill located on
the left side of the tablet PC.

Troubleshooting
WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by HP should repair

this equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed
to allow only subassembly/module level repair. Because of the
complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, do not attempt
to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any
printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. Any
