Safety information

Installation

The construction of the IBM Personal Computer provides extra protection against
the risk of electrical shock. The IBM computer has a power cord with a three-prong
plug that is required to ground metal parts. It is the responsibility of the person
installing the computer to connect it to a properly grounded electrical outlet. Seek
professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord; these devices
could interrupt the grounding circuit.

If the computer is connected to an electrical outlet that is incorrectly connected to
the building wiring, serious electrical shock could result.

CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK:
For continued protection against the risk of electrical shock, follow these steps:

• Connect your computer only to an electrical outlet of the correct voltage. If you
are unsure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your
local power company.

• If your computer has cables other than the power cords, you must connect
them before plugging the power cords into an electrical outlet. Bef ore remo ving
these cables, you must first unplug the power cords from the outlet.

• If your computer has a telephone connection, do not touch the telephone cords
when there is lightning in the area.

• Do not use or store the computer in an area where it can become wet.

• Make sure all replacement parts have characteristics identical or equivalent to
the original parts. Other parts may not have the same safety features.

• Personal injury or electrical shock may result if you undertake actions other
than those specifically described in this book. This is particularly true if you try
to service or repair the power supply, monitor, or built-in modem. Always refer
service or repairs to qualified service personnel.

Regulatory notices

North American FCC and telephone company requirements

If your IBM P ersonal Computer comes with a modem already installed, the f ollo wing
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and telephone compan y requirements
apply:

1. The modem adapter card is located in the back of the system unit. It complies
with Part 68 of the FCC rules. A label is affixed to the built-in modem that
contains, among other things, the FCC registration number , USOC , and Ringer
Equivalency Number (REN) for this equipment. If these numbers are
requested, see page 7-5 “Opening the system unit” to open the unit to get the
FCC registration number on the modem card.Provide this information to your
telephone company.

2. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to y our
telephone line and still have those de vices ring when your n umber is called. In
most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices should not exceed
five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line ,
as determined by the REN, you should call your local telephone company to
determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

3. If the built-in modem causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company may discontinue y our service temporarily. If possible, they may notify
you in advance; if adv ance notice isn't practical, y ou will be notified as soon as
possible. You may be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

4. Your telephone company may make changes in its f acilities , equipment, oper a­tions, or procedures that could affect the proper operation of y our equipment. If
they do, you may be given advance notice so as to give you an opportunity to
maintain uninterrupted service.

products, and not all of them might be included with your particular IBM computer
model.

the Year 2000 status of their products.

the best source of current information. Software vendors post new information and
software fixes on their Web sites from time to time as they become available. It is
possible that a software vendor might have already posted such updates to their
products by the time you receive this notice. You are solely responsible for
determining the applicability of any software updates from the software vendors,
obtaining them from the software vendors, and installing them.

IBM is providing this information to assist you in your assessment of the Year 2000
status of your computer environment. It is important that you prepare to address any
issues that might affect the readiness of your overall computer environment. Unless
your computer hardware, software, and data are all Year 2000 ready, the computer
system or software might not be able to diff erentiate between the y ear 1900 and the
year 2000, which can lead to serious errors in data and calculations.

As you make the Year 2000 assessment of your computer , be sure to chec k the Year
2000 readiness of all software installed on the system, not just the software included
with your computer. Also, note that some tools designed to check Year 2000
readiness might not detect updates made to software after it was first distributed by
the software vendor. While somewhat confusing, this provides a conservative
approach. If a software product is designated as having minor issues, you should
evaluate how the issues might affect your use of the software. Helpful information
about the Year 2000 challenge and the readiness status of IBM computers is
available at www.ibm.com/pc/year2000. Check periodically for updated information.

Note:

The computer you purchased may hav e components
which are different from those shown here.

Arranging your work area

When you arrange your computer, position your monitor and keyboard directly in
front of you. Place the mouse close to the keyboard so that you can use it without
stretching or leaning over to one side.

The system unit is usually kept on the floor under or beside your desk. Be sure to
place it in an area that will not block the space you need to put your legs under the
work surface.

Organize your desk to reflect the wa y y ou use w ork materials and equipment. Place
the things that you use most regularly, such as a mouse or telephone, within the
easiest reach.

xxix

Choosing a chair

• You should adjust your chair so that your thighs are horizontal and there is
support for your lower back. Your feet should rest flat on the floor or a foot rest
when you are seated and using your keyboard.

Positioning the monitor

• Place the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance. You can also use the
length of your arm to determine a comfortable viewing distance.

• Adjust your monitor so the top of the screen is at, or slightly below, eye level.

• Keep the screen clean. For cleaning instructions, refer to the documentation

that came with your monitor.

• If you place the monitor near window, consider using curtains or blinds to
minimize glare from sunlight. Also be sure to keep the monitor perpendicular to
the windows to reduce glare when the curtains or blinds are open. Try to avoid
placing the monitor directly in front of a window.

• Use dim room lighting. If you need more light on your work, you should position
the light so it shines on your work surface bu t not onto the monitor screen.

• Use the monitor controls to adjust the screen's brightness and contrast levels to
a comfortable level. You ma y have to do this more than once a da y if the light in
the room changes. For monitor control adjustment instructions, refer to the
documentation that came with your monitor.

• When your eyes focus on a specific object for a long period of time, they may
become tired. If you spend a lot of time looking at your screen, remember to
take frequent breaks. Look up periodically and focus on an object that is further
away. This will give the muscles in your eyes a chance to relax.

Positioning the keyboard

• Make sure the keyboard height is comfortable for typing.

• When you type, the keyboard should be positioned so that your arms are

relaxed and comfortable, and your forearms are roughly horizontal. Your
