The second one I think is for functioning of hard disk, third one most of us know is for wifi.
I have never seen the first and last symbol before. Anybody having idea what the logos mean?

Hello,
I never thought this could be found in a user guide.
I was thinking they would be general symbols, so I not mentioned the type number.
The type number is Pavilion m6. I found out the memory module logo from the link you provided, though you have already given the spoiler.
I went through the Pavilion m6 service guide to find out the first symbol meaning but was not successful.
Finally in user guide I found that it is an optical drive compartment.
Thanks.

P.S.
It is good to find you still in the forums.
