The Slot cover

as the name implies... This covers the lefthand side SSD slots.
when you lift it, the Lower SSD is forced out for easier access.

Upper SSD

This SSD slot is known as Disk A: in the system. (the full name would be LOC::A:\ for the root folder. )
In this computer you can see that it contains the MC WORD system Disk upgrade SSD :-)

Lower SSD

This SSD slot is known as Disk B: in the system. (the full name would be LOC::B:\ for the root folder. )

High Speed Serial port

If anyone have ANY information on this port...
it's NOT documented in the user manual.

Serial port Cover

This slide cover hides the mysterious High speed Serial port from view. Given the rare use of the port, this cover can be very finnicky...

Mount for carrying handle

It is possible to mount a carrying handle. (Not shown)
I will add pictures of the MC with carrying handle if anyone is interrested...

Backup Battery

The battery is a CR1620 button cell type of battery. It is supposedly able to retain the memory of the MC for a month if there's no main battery or external PSU. (assuming NO SSD's are installed...)

Please note the orientation of the battery. The Negative( - ) side faces forward. The battery can also be very difficult to remove.
