Before replacing parts make sure that latest BIOS and drivers are installed before replacing any parts (FRUs) listed in this.
Use the
following strategy to prevent unnecessary expense for replacing and servicing
parts
1. If you are
instructed to replacing a part but the replacement does not correct the
problem, reinstall the original part before you continue.
2. Some
computers have both a processor board and system board. If you are instructed
to replace either the processor board or the system board, and replacing one of
them does not correct the problem, reinstall that board, and then replace the
other one.
3. If an
adapter or device consists of more than one part, any of the parts (FRUs) may
be the cause of the error. Before replacing the adapter or device, remove the
parts (FRUs), one by one, to see if the symptoms change. Replace only the part
that changed the symptoms.
Caution: The BIOS configuration on the computer you
are servicing may have been customized.
Running Automatic Configuration my alter the settings. Note the current
configuration settings; then, when service has been completed, verify that
those settings remain in effect.
Strategy
for replacing a hard-disk drive
You have to
get a User’s approval before formatting or replacing a hard-disk drive. You
must let the User know that the user is responsible for the loss data.
Caution: The
drive startup sequence in the computer you are servicing may have been changed.
Be extremely careful during write operations such as copying, saving, or
formatting. If you select an incorrect drive, data or programs can be
overwritten.
Before the
computer is powered-on after part (FRU) replacement, make sure all screws,
springs, and other small parts are in place and are not left loose inside the
computer. Verify this by shaking the computer and listening for rattling
sounds. Metallic parts or metal flakes can cause electrical shorts.
Some standby
batteries contain a small amount of nickel and cadmium. Do not disassemble a
standby battery, recharge it, throw it into fire or water, or short-circuit it.
Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only
the battery in the appropriate parts listing. Use of an incorrect battery can
result in ignition or explosion of the battery.
Before
removing any part (FRU), turn off the computer, unplug all power cords from
electrical outlets, remove the battery pack, and then disconnect any
interconnecting cables.

The user must
not replace or expand the CPU capacity arbitrarily. The CPU capacity differs
depends on model type.
Main Memory
Maximum
Capacity: Each slot is 2048MB and can be expanded to 4096MB.
SO DIMM Type
for Memory Expansion: DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM SO-DIMM(256MB, 512MB, 1024MB, 2048MB)
Memory types
and specifications may differ by model type.
To use two 2GB
memory cards, the machine must run on 64bit OS. 32bit Vista/XP OS does not
support 4GB memory.

Graphic Media Accelerator 4500MHD (Dynamic Video Memory Technology)
The DVMT
actively utilizes part of the system memory when processing large graphic data
like 3D graphics.
Therefore, the
size of the graphic memory is displayed as the sum of the actual graphic memory
size and the utilized amount of memory, which is decided by the size of system
memory.
NVIDIA Geforce 9600M GT (W/GDDR3 256M ) with
TurboCache 320MB~1535MB
NVIDIA Geforce 9600M GT (W/GDDR3 512M) with
TurboCache 576MB~1791MB
NVIDIA Geforce 9300M GS (W/GDDR3 256M) with
TurboCache 320MB~1535MB
TurboCache -
This technology actively utilizes part of the System Memory when processing
large graphic data like 3D graphics. The size of the utilized memory is
determined by the Video Memory size and System Memory Size.
If TurboCache
technology is applied to the Graphics Memory, the System Memory can allot up to
320MB out of 512MB and up to 1791MB out of 4096MB for large graphic data.
Specifications may differ by model type.
