Handling static-sensitive devices

Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and options.

When you add an option, do not open the static-protective package containing the option until you are instructed to do so.

When you handle options and other computer components, take these precautions to avoid static electricity damage:

• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

• Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters and memory modules by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.

• Prevent others from touching components.

• 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.

• When possible, remove the option and install it directly in the computer without setting the option down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective package that the option came in on a smooth, level surface and place the option on it.

• Do not place the option on the computer cover or other metal surface.

Installing memory

Your computer has four connectors for Rambus in-line memory modules (RIMMs) that provide up to a maximum of 1.5 GB of system memory (dual channel RDRAM).

The IBM-installed RIMMs that come with your computer are non-ECC (error checking and correction) Rambus dynamic random access memory (RDRAM) modules.

When installing or replacing RIMMs, take the following information into consideration:

• Rambus memory is divided into two channels (channel A and B). RIMM connectors 1 and 3 are channel A, and RIMM connectors 2 and 4 are channel B.

• RIMMs must be installed in pairs.

• Each channel must contain the same amount of memory.

• Each RIMM co nnector supports a maximum of 256 MB of memory.

• Any connector that does not have a RIMM installed must have a continuity RIMM (C-RIMM), a module that lo oks like a RIMM but has no memory on it. A C-RIMM is used to continue the connection on a RIMM connector that does not have memory installed in it.

• Both ECC and non-ECC RIMMs are supported. However, if both ECC and nonECC (non-parity) memory is used, the memory will function as non-ECC memory.

• RIMM connectors do not support dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs).

• Use only PC600 or PC800 RIMMs. Note: If you use PC600 and PC800 RIMMs together, all memory will function at

the speed of the slowest RIMM.

Removing a RIMM or C-RIMM

To remove a RIMM or C-RIMM:

1. To locate the RIMM connectors inside your computer, see “Identifying parts on the system board” on page 18.

2. At both ends of the RIMM connector on the system board, push outward on the retaining clips until the module is loosened. Lift the RIMM or C-RIMM out of the connector .

20 User Guide

Note: Be careful not to push too hard on the retaining clips, because the RIMM or

C-RIMM might eject too quickly.

3. Store the RIMM or C-RIMM in a static-protective package. Do not discard or lose this part. It might be needed later if you change your memory configuration.

Installing a RIMM or C-RIMM

To install a RIMM or C-RIMM:

1. Touch the static-protective package containing the RIMM to any unpainted metal surface in the computer, and then remove the RIMM or C-RIMM.

2. If the retaining clips are not already open, open them.

3. Position the RIMM or C-RIMM above the connector so that the two notches on the bottom edge of the module align properly with the empty connector.

4. Firmly push the module straight down into the connector until the retaining clips pop up and fit snugly around both ends of the module.

Your computer comes with the following IBM-installed drives:

• A CD drive, DVD drive, or DVD-CDRW drive in bay 1 (some models)

• A CD-RW drive in bay 2 (some models)

• A 3.5-inch diskette drive in bay 3

• A 3.5-inch hard disk drive in bay 4 Models that do not have drives instal led in bays 1 and 2 have a bay panel installed. The following illustration shows the locations of the drive bays.

The following table describes some of the drives you can install in each bay and their height requirements.

24 User Guide

Notes:

1. Drives that are greater than 41.3 mm (1.6 in.) high cannot be installed.

2. Install removable media (tape or CD) drives in the accessible bays: bay 1 or 2.

Power and signal cables for internal drives

Your computer uses cables to connect integrated drive electronics (IDE) drives to the power supply and to the system board. The following cables are provided:

• Four-wire power cab les connect most drives to the power supply. At the end of these cables are plastic connectors that attach to differ ent drives; the se conn ectors vary in size. Also, certain power cables attach to the system board.

• Flat signal cables, also called ribbon cable s , connect IDE and diskette drives to the system board. There are two sizes of ribbon signal cables that come with your computer:

— The wider signal cable has two or three connectors.

– If the cable has three connectors, one of the se connectors is attached to the

drive, one is a spare, and the third is attached to the primary or secondary IDE connector on the system board.

– If the cable has two connectors, one of these connectors is attached to the

hard disk drive, and the other is attached to the primary or secondary IDE connector on the system board.

Note: If you want to add another device and your computer does not

come with a CD drive or DVD drive preinstalled, you will need a second signal cable with three connectors. You will need an 80conductor ATA 100 signa l cable if you are replacing the existing signal cable or adding a second hard disk drive. ATA 100 sign al cables are color-coded. The blue connector is attached to the system board, the black connector is attached to the master device, and the gray middle connector is attached to the secondary (or slave) device.

If your computer comes with a CD drive or DVD drive, it has an ATA 100 signal cable. However, if you are installing a h ard disk drive, you must change the switch or jumper setting on the CD drive or DVD drive to secondary and change the connector that is used for the CD drive or DVD drive to the gray middle connector.

— The narrower signal cable has two connectors for attaching the diskette drive

to the diskette-drive connector on the system board.

Note: To locate connectors on the system board, see “Identifying parts on the system

board” on page 18.

The following are some important points to remember when connecting power and signal cables to internal drives:

• The drives that are preinstalled in your computer come with power and signal cables attached. If you replace any drives, it is important to remember which cable is attached to which drive.

• When you install a drive, ensure that the drive connector at the end of the signal cable is always connected to a drive; also, ensure that the drive connector at the other end is connected to the system boar d. This r educes electro nic noise from the computer.

• If two IDE devices are used on a single cable, one must be designated as the primary, or master, device and the other as the secondary, or slave, device; otherwise, some of the IDE devices might not be r ecognized by the computer. The primary or secondary designation is determined by switch or jumper settings on each IDE device.

• If two IDE devices are on a single cable and only one is a hard disk drive, the hard disk drive must be set as the master device.

• If you have only one IDE device on a cable, it must be set as master.

For help in selecting drives, cables, and other options for your computer, see page 6.

Appendix B. Updating System Programs

The following contains information about updating system programs (POST/BIOS) 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 BIOS 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 BIOS 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 BIOS Setup Utility program by starting your computer using a flash update diskette.

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 README file that is included in the update files.

To update system programs (flash the EEPROM):

1. Insert a system program update (flash) diskette into the diskette drive (drive A) in your computer. System program updates are available at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ on the World Wide Web.

2. Turn on the computer. If it is on already, you must turn it off and back on again. The update begins.

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. If this happens, perform the following procedure to recover:

1. Using another computer and a text editor, open the config.sys file on the BIOS flash diskette.

2. Find line:

shell = phlash16.exe /S

3. Change this line to:

shell = phlash16.exe

4. Save this f ile to the diskette. Now you can use this BIOS flash diskette to update your computer.

5. Turn off the computer and any attached devices, such as printers, monitors, and external drives.

6. Unplug all power cords from electrical outlets, and remove the cover. See

“Removing the cover” on page 15.
