Page 49: Cd-Rom Drive
Keep the ﬂoppy disk drive and disks out of d i rect su n l i ght and aw ay from heating equ i pm en t . Avoid storing the ﬂoppy disk drive in locations subject to shock and vibration. Avoid using the ﬂoppy disk drive and disks in damp and dusty locations.
Page 50 S e c t i o n T w o C A U T I O N Do not operate your CD-ROM drive unless your notebook and LAN Enhancement Unit combination is sitting on a ﬂat surface. Using a disk when the drive is not level may damage the drive or prevent proper operation.
Page 51: Hard Drive
If a disk is dirty, use only a CD-ROM cleaner or wipe it with a clean,soft,lint free cloth starting from the inner edge and wiping to the outer edge. HARD DRIVE The internal hard drive capacity is dependent on which model you are using. See Appendix A (pages 152-156) for model information.

Page 53 P O I N T If your notebook is active when you enter the Suspend mode or Save-to-Disk mode, changes to open ﬁles are not lost. The ﬁles are left open and memory is kept active during Suspend mode or the memory is transferred to the internal hard drive during Save-to-Disk mode.

Your notebook’s system memory typically stores the ﬁle(s) on which you are working, the open application(s) and any other data required to support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation from Suspend mode, it returns to the point in the operation where it left off, before going into the mode.
Page 58 S e c t i o n T w o P O I N T The main advantage of using the Save-to- Disk function is that power is not re q u i re d to maintain your data. This is part i c u l a r l y i m p o rtant if you will be leaving your note- book in a suspended state for a pro l o n g e d period of time.
