Within the United States, call 1-800-IBM-2YOU (1-800-426-2968), your IBM reseller, or IBM marketing representative. v Within Canada, call 1-800-565-3344 or 1-800-IBM-4YOU. v Outside the United States and Canada, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. Tools required To install some options in your computer, you might need a flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver.
v When you install a new option, touch the static-protective package containing the option to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body. v When possible, remove the option and install it directly in the computer without setting the option down.

Removing the cover Important Read “Safety Information” on page v and “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 5 before removing the cover. To remove the cover: 1. Shut down your operating system, remove any media (diskettes, CDs, or tapes) from the drives, and turn off all attached devices and the computer. 2.
The system board (sometimes called the planar or motherboard) is the main circuit board in your computer. It provides basic computer functions and supports a variety of devices that are IBM-installed or that you can install later. Chapter 1. Installing options...

2. You might have to remove an adapter to gain access to the DIMM slots. See “Installing adapters” on page 14. 3. To locate the DIMM connectors. See “Identifying parts on the system board” on page 11. 4. Open the retaining clips. 5.
Installing adapters This section provides information and instructions for installing and removing adapters. Your computer has three expansion slots for PCI adapters. You can install an adapter up to 228 mm (9 inches) long. To install an adapter: 1. Remove the cover. See “Removing the cover” on page 10. 2.
4. Install the adapter into the appropriate slot on the system board. 5. Secure the adapter with the screw as shown. What to do next v To work with another option, go to the appropriate section. v To complete the installation, go to “Replacing the cover and connecting the cables”...
Drive specifications Your computer comes with the following IBM-installed drives: v A CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive in bay 1 v A 3.5-inch diskette disk drive in bay 3 v A 3.5-inch hard drive in bay 4 Any bay that does not have a drive installed has a static shield and bay panel installed.
Installing a drive To install an internal drive, follow these steps: 1. Remove the cover. See “Removing the cover” on page 10. 2. If your computer has a CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, you might need to remove the signal and power cables from the drive. 3.
Page 30
6. Install the drive into the bay. Align the screw holes and install two screws to secure the drive. 7. Each integrated drive electronics (IDE) drive requires two cables; a four-wire power cable that connects to the power supply and a signal cable that connects to the system board.
You can also install a padlock to secure the cover. Make sure the security cable does not interfere with other computer cables. (See Access IBM for more security information.) Refer to the following illustration to identify these security features.
1 Padlock loop 2 Integrated cable lock 3 Rope clip What to do next v To work with another option, go to the appropriate section. v To complete the installation, go to “Replacing the cover and connecting the cables” on page 21. Changing the battery Your computer has a special type of memory that maintains the date, time, and settings for built-in features, such as parallel-port assignments (configuration).
This is normal after replacing the battery. 9. Turn on the computer and all attached devices. 10. Use the IBM Setup Utility program to set the date and time and any passwords. Replacing the cover and connecting the cables After working with options, you need to install any removed parts, replace the cover, and reconnect any cables, including telephone lines and power cords.
4. Reconnect the external cables and power cords to the computer. See “Installing external options” on page 6. 5. To update the configuration, see Chapter 2, “Using the IBM Setup Utility program” on page 25. Important: When the power cord is first plugged in, the computer might appear to turn on for a few seconds and then turn off.
Page 35
6. Move the jumper from the standard position (pins 1 and 2) to the maintenance or configure position (pins 2 and 3). 7. Replace the cover and connect the power cord. See “Replacing the cover and connecting the cables” on page 21. 8.
Exiting from the IBM Setup Utility program When you finish viewing or changing settings, press Esc to return to the IBM Setup Utility program menu (you might have to press Esc several times). If you want to save the new settings, select Save Settings before you exit. Otherwise, your changes will not be saved.
After you set an administrator password, a password prompt is displayed each time you try to access the IBM Setup Utility program. If you type the wrong password, you will see an error message. If you type the wrong password three times, you must turn the computer off and start again.
Changing the startup device sequence To view or permanently change the configured startup device sequence, do the following: 1. Start the IBM Setup Utility program (see “Starting the IBM Setup Utility program” on page 25). 2. Select Startup. 3. Select Startup Sequence. See the information displayed on the right side of the screen.
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.
9. Print these instructions. This is very important since they are not on the screen after the download begins. 10. From your browser, click Back to return to the list of files. Carefully follow the printed instructions to download, extract, and install the update. Recovering from a POST/BIOS update failure If power to your computer is interrupted while POST/BIOS is being updated (flash update), your computer might not restart correctly.
