Heaters

Hard Disk Drive Heater

Your GoBook II has a hard disk drive (HDD) heater option to warm the HDD before spinning up

in temperatures below 5°C,the minimum safe operating temperature of the HDD. The heater is

built into the removable HDD module and operates as needed when the computer is turned on or

is in an operational state. If the temperature is below 5°C when booting or resuming you will see

the message "Warming internal hard drive. Please wait...". The unit will continue booting when

it detects the HDD is warm enough to operate safely.

NOTE If you are using the computer in a cold temperature environment and the battery level is

too low for the heater to operate, you will see the error message "Battery too low to warm the hard

drive. Shutting down..." and the computer will shut down. Apply external power and reboot.

LCD Heater

The GoBook II also has an optional CCFL heater to improve display brightness in a cold

environment. The heater consists of a film and heater strip that is bonded over the CCFL area of

the display. It is designed to turn on when the temperature is cold enough to impact display

brightness.
