Go.
To get the most from your computer, arrange both the equipment you use and
your work area to suit your needs and the kind of work you do. Your comfort
is of foremost importance, but light sources, air circulation, and the location of
electrical outlets also can affect the way you arrange your workspace.
Comfort
Although no single working position is ideal for everyone, here are a few
guidelines to help you find a position that suits you best.
Sitting in the same position for a long time can cause fatigue. A good chair can
make a big difference. The backrest and seat should adjust independently and
provide good support. The seat should have a curved front to relieve pressure
on the thighs. Adjust the seat so that your thighs are parallel to the floor and
your feet are either flat on the floor or on a footrest.
When using the keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor and your
wrists in a neutral, comfortable position. Try to keep a light touch on the
keyboard and your hands and fingers relaxed. You can change the angle of the
keyboard for maximum comfort by adjusting the position of the keyboard feet.
Viewing Distance
Lower
Back
Support
Seat
Height
Adjust the monitor so the top of the screen is at, or slightly below, eye level.
Place the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance, usually 51 to 61 cm (20 to
24 in.), and position it so you can view it without having to twist your body.
Also position other equipment you use regularly, such as the telephone or a
mouse, within easy reach.
Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections from overhead lights,
windows, and other light sources. Even reflected light from shiny surfaces can
cause annoying reflections on your monitor screen. Place the monitor at right
angles to windows and other light sources, when possible. Reduce overhead
lighting, if necessary, by turning off lights or using lower wattage bulbs. If you
install the monitor near a window, use curtains or blinds to block the sunlight.
You might have to adjust the Brightness and Contrast controls on the monitor
as the room lighting changes throughout the day.
Where it is impossible to avoid reflections or to adjust the lighting, an antiglare
filter placed over the screen might be helpful. However, these filters might
affect the clarity of the image on the screen; try them only after you have
exhausted other methods of reducing glare.
Dust buildup compounds problems associated with glare. Remember to clean
your monitor screen periodically using a soft cloth moistened with a
nonabrasive liquid glass cleaner.
Air circulation
Your computer and monitor produce heat. The computer has a fan that pulls in
fresh air and forces out hot air. The monitor lets hot air escape through vents.
Blocking the air vents can cause overheating, which might result in a
malfunction or damage. Place the computer and monitor so that nothing blocks
the air vents; usually, 51 mm (2 in.) of air space is sufficient. Also, make sure
the vented air is not blowing on someone else.
Electrical outlets and cable lengths
The location of electrical outlets and the length of power cords and cables that
connect to the monitor, printer, and other devices might determine the final
placement of your computer.
When arranging your workspace:
v Avoid the use of extension cords. When possible, plug the computer power
cord directly into an electrical outlet.
v Keep power cords and cables neatly routed away from walkways and other
areas where they might get kicked accidentally.
For more information about power cords, see “Power cord notice” on page 57
of this book.

“Performing a recovery” before using the Product Recovery program. The
Product Recovery program runs independently of the operating system.
Performing a software recovery
Important
Understand the following information before recovering your software:
v Perform a recovery only as a last resort after you have tried using all
other diagnostic and troubleshooting tools.
v If possible, make backup copies of your data files before starting the
recovery process. The recovery process deletes all information that is
stored on the primary hard disk partition (usually drive C).
v If the Product Recovery program does not work or will not start as
described, see “Solving recovery problems” on page 14.
To recover your factory-installed software use the Product Recovery program
on the hard disk. This section provides instructions for using this program. If
you have any problems running the Product Recovery program, see “Solving
recovery problems” on page 14.
To perform a software recovery, use the following procedure:
1. Make backup copies of your data files, if possible. Any files on the hard
disk that are not backed up will be lost during recovery.
2. Turn off your computer for at least 5 seconds. Press and hold the F11 key
while you press the power button to start the Product Recovery program.
Did the Product Recovery menu display?
Yes .GotoStep3.
No. Go to “Solving recovery problems” on page 14.
3. When the Product Recovery program starts, you might have the

IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-06 8/2000
Part1-General Terms
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2
- Country-unique Terms. The terms of Part 2 replace or modify those of Part 1.
The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply
only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or
your reseller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features,
conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them.
The term “Machine” does not include any software programs, whether
pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Unless IBM
specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where
you acquire the Machine. Nothing in this Statement of Limited Warranty
affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by
contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.
The IBM Warranty for Machines: IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free
from defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official
Published Specifications (“Specifications”). The warranty period for a Machine
is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date on
your sales receipt is the Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs
you otherwise.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and
IBM or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with
one that is at least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of
purchase and your money will be refunded.
Extent of Warranty: The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a
Machine resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or
operating environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a
product for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal
or alteration of Machine or parts identification labels.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND
REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU
SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS
WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION
OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION
OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH
WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY
PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
Appendix A. Warranty information37
Items Not Covered by Warranty: IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or
error-free operation of a Machine. Any technical or other support provided for
a Machine under warranty, such as assistance via telephone with “how-to”
questions and those regarding Machine set-up and installation, will be
provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Warranty Service: To obtain warranty service for a Machine, contact IBM or
your reseller. If you do not register your Machine with IBM, you may be
required to present proof of purchase.
During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to
provide warranty service, provides without charge certain types of repair and
exchange service to keep Machines in, or restore them to, conformance with
their Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the available types
of service for a Machine based on its country of installation. At its discretion,
IBM or your reseller will 1) either repair or exchange the failing Machine and
2) provide the service either at your location or a service center. IBM or your
reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that apply to
the Machine.
Some parts of IBM Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units
(called “CRUs”), e.g., keyboards, memory, or hard disk drives. IBM ships CRUs
to you for replacement by you. You must return all defective CRUs to IBM
within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. You are responsible for
downloading designated Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code updates
from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following
the instructions that IBM provides.
When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item
IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement
becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and
unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order
and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement
assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. M any features,
conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM.
A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of
the removed part.
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove
all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty
service.
You also agree to
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that
prevent its exchange;
38Quick Reference
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a
Machine that you do not own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided:
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that IBM or your reseller provides;
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine;
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to
your facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations; and
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in
IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for
the transportation charges.
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential,
proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return
to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information
from the Machine prior to its return.
Limitation of Liability: Circumstances may arise where, because of a default
on IBM’s part or other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM.
In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to
claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence,
misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), except for any liability that
cannot be waived or limited by applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property
and tangible personal property; and
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if
recurring, 12 months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the
claim. For purposes of this item, the term “Machine” includes Machine
Code and Licensed Internal Code.
This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the
maximum for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively
responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES
(OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2)
LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS,
EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF
THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
