User

Important
safety
information
This
information
can
help
you
safely
use
your
IBM
personal
computer.
Follow
and
retain
all
information
included
with
your
IBM
computer.
The
information
in
this
document
does
not
alter
the
terms
of
your
purchase
agreement
or
the
IBM
Statement
of
Limited
Warranty.
Customer
safety
is
important
to
IBM.
Our
products
are
developed
to
be
safe
and
effective.
However,
personal
computers
are
electronic
devices.
Power
cords,
power
adapters,
and
other
features
can
create
potential
safety
risks
that
can
result
in
physical
injury
or
property
damage,
especially
if
misused.
To
reduce
these
risks,
follow
the
instructions
included
with
your
product,
observe
all
warnings
on
the
product
and
in
the
operating
instructions,
and
review
the
information
included
in
this
document
carefully.
By
carefully
following
the
information
contained
in
this
document
and
provided
with
your
product,
you
can
help
protect
yourself
from
hazards
and
create
a
safer
computer
work
environment.
Note:
This
information
includes
references
to
power
adapters
and
batteries.
In
addition
to
mobile
personal
computers,
IBM
ships
some
products
(such
as
speakers
or
monitors)
with
external
power
adapters.
If
you
have
such
a
product,
this
information
applies
to
your
product.
In
addition,
your
computer
product
may
contain
a
coin-sized
internal
battery
that
provides
power
to
your
system
clock
even
when
the
machine
is
unplugged,
so
the
battery
safety
information
applies
to
all
computers.
Conditions
that
require
immediate
action
Products
can
become
damaged
due
to
misuse
or
neglect.
Some
product
damage
is
serious
enough
that
the
product
should
not
be
used
again
until
it
has
been
inspected
and,
if
necessary,
repaired
by
an
authorized
servicer.
As
with
any
electronic
device,
pay
close
attention
to
the
product
when
it
is
turned
on.
On
very
rare
occasions,
you
might
notice
an
odor
or
see
a
puff
of
smoke
or
sparks
vent
from
your
machine.
Or
you
might
hear
sounds
like
popping,
cracking
or
hissing.
These
conditions
might
merely
mean
that
an
internal
electronic
component
has
failed
in
a
safe
and
controlled
manner.
Or,
they
might
indicate
a
potential
safety
issue.
However,
do
not
take
risks
or
attempt
to
diagnose
the
situation
yourself.
Frequently
inspect
your
computer
and
its
components
for
damage
or
wear
or
signs
of
danger.
If
you
have
any
question
about
the
condition
of
a
component,
do
not
use
the
product.
Contact
the
IBM
Support
Center
or
the
product
manufacturer
for
instructions
on
how
to
inspect
the
product
and
have
it
repaired,
if
necessary.
In
the
unlikely
event
that
you
notice
any
of
the
conditions
listed
below,
or
if
you
have
any
safety
concerns
with
your
product,
stop
using
the
product
and
unplug
it
from
the
power
source
and
telecommunication
lines
until
you
can
speak
to
the
IBM
Support
Center
for
further
guidance.

product
(such
as
an
extension
cord),
stop
using
that
product
until
you
can
contact
the
product
manufacturer
for
further
instructions,
or
until
you
get
a
suitable
replacement.
General
safety
guidelines
Always
observe
the
following
precautions
to
reduce
the
risk
of
injury
and
property
damage.
Service
Do
not
attempt
to
service
a
product
yourself
unless
instructed
to
do
so
by
the
IBM
Support
Center.
Use
only
an
IBM
authorized
service
provider
who
is
approved
to
repair
your
particular
product.
Note:
Some
parts
can
be
upgraded
or
replaced
by
the
customer.
These
parts
are
referred
to
as
Customer
Replaceable
Units,
or
CRUs.
IBM
expressly
identifies
CRUs
as
such,
and
provides
documentation
with
instructions
when
it
is
appropriate
for
customers
to
replace
those
parts.
You
must
closely
follow
all
instructions
when
performing
such
replacements.
Always
make
sure
that
the
power
is
turned
off
and
that
the
product
is
unplugged
from
any
power
source
before
you
attempt
the
replacement.
If
you
have
any
questions
or
concerns,
contact
the
IBM
Support
Center.
Power
cords
and
power
adapters
Use
only
the
power
cords
and
power
adapters
supplied
by
the
product
manufacturer.
Never
wrap
a
power
cord
around
the
power
adapter
or
other
object.
Doing
so
can
stress
the
cord
in
ways
that
can
cause
the
cord
to
fray,
crack
or
crimp.
This
can
present
a
safety
hazard.
Always
route
power
cords
so
that
they
will
not
be
walked
on,
tripped
over,
or
pinched
by
objects.
Protect
the
cord
and
power
adapters
from
liquids.
For
instance,
do
not
leave
your
cord
or
power
adapter
near
sinks,
tubs,
toilets,
or
on
floors
that
are
cleaned
with
liquid
cleansers.
Liquids
can
cause
a
short
circuit,
particularly
if
the
cord
or
power
adapter
has
been
stressed
by
misuse.
Liquids
can
also
cause
gradual
corrosion
of
the
power
cord
terminals
and/or
the
connector
terminals
on
the
adapter
which
can
eventually
result
in
overheating.
vi
User
Guide
Always
connect
power
cords
and
signal
cables
in
the
correct
order
and
ensure
that
all
power
cord
connectors
are
securely
and
completely
plugged
into
receptacles.
Do
not
use
any
power
adapter
that
shows
corrosion
at
the
ac
input
pins
and/or
shows
signs
of
overheating
(such
as
deformed
plastic)
at
the
ac
input
or
anywhere
on
the
power
adapter.
Do
not
use
any
power
cords
where
the
electrical
contacts
on
either
end
show
signs
of
corrosion
or
overheating
or
where
the
power
cord
appears
to
have
been
damaged
in
any
way.
Extension
cords
and
related
devices
Ensure
that
extension
cords,
surge
protectors,
uninterruptible
power
supplies,
and
power
strips
that
you
use
are
rated
to
handle
the
electrical
requirements
of
the
product.
Never
overload
these
devices.
If
power
strips
are
used,
the
load
should
not
exceed
the
power
strip
input
rating.
Consult
an
electrician
for
more
information
if
you
have
questions
about
power
loads,
power
requirements,
and
input
ratings.
Plugs
and
outlets
If
a
receptacle
(power
outlet)
that
you
intend
to
use
with
your
computer
equipment
appears
to
be
damaged
or
corroded,
do
not
use
the
outlet
until
it
is
replaced
by
a
qualified
electrician.
Do
not
bend
or
modify
the
plug.
If
the
plug
is
damaged,
contact
the
manufacturer
to
obtain
a
replacement.
Some
products
are
equipped
with
a
three-pronged
plug.
This
plug
fits
only
into
a
grounded
electrical
outlet.
This
is
a
safety
feature.
Do
not
defeat
this
safety
feature
by
trying
to
insert
it
into
a
non-grounded
outlet.
If
you
cannot
insert
the
plug
into
the
outlet,
contact
an
electrician
for
an
approved
outlet
adapter
or
to
replace
the
outlet
with
one
that
enables
this
safety
feature.
Never
overload
an
electrical
outlet.
The
overall
system
load
should
not
exceed
80
percent
of
the
branch
circuit
rating.
Consult
an
electrician
for
more
information
if
you
have
questions
about
power
loads
and
branch
circuit
ratings.
Be
sure
that
the
power
outlet
you
are
using
is
properly
wired,
easily
accessible,
and
located
close
to
the
equipment.
Do
not
fully
extend
power
cords
in
a
way
that
will
stress
the
cords.
Connect
and
disconnect
the
equipment
from
the
electrical
outlet
carefully
Batteries
All
IBM
personal

Updating
system
programs
This
appendix
contains
information
about
updating
system
programs
and
how
to
recover
from
a
POST/BIOS
update
failure.
System
programs
System
programs
are
the
basic
layer
of
software
that
is
built
into
your
computer.
They
include
the
power-on
self-test
(POST),
the
basic
input/output
system
(BIOS)
code,
and
the
IBM
Setup
Utility
program.
POST
is
a
set
of
tests
and
procedures
that
is
performed
each
time
you
turn
on
your
computer.
BIOS
is
a
layer
of
software
that
translates
instructions
from
other
layers
of
software
into
electrical
signals
that
the
computer
hardware
can
understand.
You
can
use
the
IBM
Setup
Utility
program
to
view
and
change
the
configuration
and
setup
of
your
computer.
Your
computer
system
board
has
a
module
called
electrically
erasable
programmable
read-only
memory
(EEPROM,
also
referred
to
as
flash
memory).
You
can
easily
update
POST,
BIOS,
and
the
IBM
Setup
Utility
program
by
starting
your
computer
using
a
flash
update
diskette
or
by
running
a
special
update
program
from
your
operating
system.
IBM
might
make
changes
and
enhancements
to
the
system
programs.
When
updates
are
released,
they
are
available
as
downloadable
files
on
the
World
Wide
Web
(see
the
Quick
Reference).
Instructions
for
using
the
system
program
updates
are
available
in
a
.txt
file
that
is
included
with
the
update
files.
For
most
models,
you
can
download
either
an
update
program
to
create
a
system-program-update
(flash)
diskette
or
an
update
program
that
can
be
run
from
the
operating
system.

B.
Cleaning
the
mouse
This
appendix
provides
instructions
on
how
to
clean
your
mouse.
The
procedure
will
be
different
depending
on
which
type
of
mouse
you
have.
Cleaning
an
optical
mouse
If
you
experience
some
problems
with
your
optical
mouse,
check
the
following:
1.
Turn
the
mouse
over
and
look
carefully
at
the
lens
area.
a.
If
there
is
a
smudge
on
the
lens,
gently
clean
the
area
with
a
plain
cotton
swab
or
plain
q-tip.
b.
If
there
is
some
debris
in
the
lens,
gently
blow
the
debris
away
from
the
area.
2.
Check
the
surface
you
are
using
the
mouse
on.
If
you
have
a
very
intricate
picture
or
pattern
beneath
the
mouse
it
is
difficult
for
the
digital
signal
processor
(DSP)
to
determine
changes
in
the
mouse
position.
Cleaning
a
mouse
with
a
ball
If
the
pointer
on
the
screen
does
not
move
smoothly
with
the
mouse,
you
might
need
to
clean
the
mouse.
Note:
The
following
illustration
might
be
slightly
different
from
your
mouse.
1
Retainer
ring

Ball
cage
To
clean
a
mouse
with
a
ball:
1.
Turn
off
your
computer.
2.
Turn
the
mouse
over,
with
the
top
side
down,
and
look
carefully
at
the
bottom.
Twist
the
retainer
ring1to
the
unlocked
position
to
remove
the
ball.

3.
Place
your
hand
over
the
retainer
ring
and
ball2,
and
then
turn
the
mouse
over,
top
side
up,
so
that
the
retainer
ring
and
ball
fall
out
into
your
hand.
4.
Wash
the
ball
in
warm,
soapy
water
then
dry
it
with
a
clean
cloth.
Blow
air
carefully
into
the
ball
cage4to
dislodge
dust
and
lint.
5.
Look
for
a
build
up
of
dirt
on
the
plastic
rollers3inside
the
ball
cage.
This
build
up
usually
appears
as
a
stripe
running
across
the
middle
of
the
rollers.
6.
If
the
rollers
are
dirty,
clean
them
by
using
a
cotton
swab
soaked
in
isopropyl
(rubbing)
alcohol.
Turn
the
rollers
with
your
finger
and
continue
swabbing
them
until
all
the
dirt
is
removed.
Be
sure
the
rollers
are
still
centered
in
their
channels
after
you
clean
them.
7.
Remove
any
fibers
from
the
swab
that
might
be
remaining
on
the
rollers.
8.
Replace
the
ball
and
the
retainer
ring.
9.
Turn
your
computer
back
on.
