1.4 External Computer Components
The following information provides new mechanical changes to the models, which are different
from earlier models
Universal Serial Bus
A Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector has been added to select models on the left side of the
computer. The connector provides an interface for USB peripheral devices.
On models without the USB connector, a plastic insert covers the connector space. The plastic
USB cover is included in spare part 254981-001, the miscellaneous spare parts kit. The kit also
ships with such items as replacement clutch covers, rubber feet, battery spacer door, etc. (See
Chapter 4 in the Maintenance and Service Guide for miscellaneous spare parts.)
Battery Spacer Door
IMPORTANT: The Battery Spacer Door, which is a component of the Dualbay compartment, has
been modified.
The new battery spacer door pushes 1pushes inward with a single motion, as compared to the
previous version 2 which pulled out and pushed inward (
Figure 1-1).
NOTE: The Battery Spacer Door is included in the miscellaneous spare parts kit (spare part
254981-001).
