1: Introduction
Overview
This manual covers the information you need to service or upgrade the 8880/888E series notebook computer. Informa-
tion about operating the computer (e.g. getting started, and the Setup utility) is in the User’s Manual. Information about
drivers (e.g. VGA & audio) is also found in User’s Manual. That manual is shipped with the computer.
Operating systems (e.g. DOS, Windows 9x, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, OS/2 Warp, UNIX, etc.) have
their own manuals as do application software (e.g. word processing and database programs). If you have questions about
those programs, you should consult those manuals.
The 8880/888E series notebook is designed to be upgradeable. See “Disassembly” on page 2 - 1 for a detailed descrip-
tion of the upgrade procedures for each specific component. Please note the warning and safety information indicated by
the “” symbol.
The balance of this chapter reviews the computer’s technical specifications and features.
