hard drive. The NEC Versa 2400 provides industry standard 2.5-inch IDE hard disk drive at
810MB and 1GB. The System BIOS of the notebook also includes Auto IDE detection and
LBA mode for easy installation as well as later upgrades for higher capacity disk drives.

Front of the Notebook

This section describes the features on the front side of the NEC Versa 2400 computer.

Battery Compartment

In the left front corner of the notebook is the battery compartment. It houses the recharge-
able NiMH battery pack. The battery pack begins charging whenever you connect the AC
adapter to the notebook. It is very important to always have the battery installed on the
notebook, to have it always charged. Leaving the battery pack out of the unit for a long pe-
riod of time will completely drain the battery cells.
To remove the battery pack from the compartment unit, push the battery compartment re-
lease lock and slowly pull out the battery pack.
NOTE: There are two types of battery packs for
the NEC Versa 2400 Series. The NEC Versa
240X models uses Type A battery packs with
3500mA; while the NEC Versa 243X models
uses Type B battery packs with 3500mA. Both
battery packs are not interchangeable and may
cause damage to the computer if swapped.
