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:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters and memory modules by
the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.
Chapter 1. Overview9
v Prevent others from touching components.
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. 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.
v Do not place the option on the computer cover or other metal surface.

configuration” on page 55.
Important:
When the power cord is first plugged in, the computer might appear to
power on for a few seconds, then power off. This is a normal sequence to
enable the computer to initialize.
This chapter includes information about updating configuration settings, installing
device drivers (if required, after a new option has been installed), and erasing a lost
or forgotten password. For more information about using the Configuration/Setup
Utility program, see Access IBM on your desktop.
After you add options, the configuration settings must be updated. In most cases,
this configuration update is performed automatically.
In some cases, when you start your computer after installing an option, a message
similar to the following might be displayed.
POST Startup Error(s)
The following error(s) were detected when the system was
started:
162 Configuration Change Has Occurred

If this message is displayed, select Continue and press Enter. The
Configuration/Setup Utility program automatically starts. From the
Configuration/Setup Utility program menu, do the following:
1. Select Exit and press Enter.
2. Select Exit Saving Changes and press Enter.
The computer will restart.
The Windows operating system will usually detect the new option, update the
configuration information, and prompt you for device drivers, if required. Before
installing any device drivers, always check the documentation that is provided with
your option for specific instructions. Not all device drivers are installed in the same
way. Some options might also require you to install other software.
Verifying that an option is installed correctly
To verify if a new adapter or drive is correctly installed and configured, do the
following:
1. From the Windows desktop, use the right mouse button to click My Computer;
then, click Properties.

point over an icon indicates a resource conflict. If an X or a circled
exclamation point appears over an icon, click Properties to learn more about
the source of the problem.
v If the device is not listed, it might not be installed correctly. Make sure that
the option is installed according to instructions, all cables and connections
are secure, and any jumper or switch settings are correct.
v If the device is listed under “Other devices,” a required device driver is either
missing or installed incorrectly, or the operating system was not restarted
after the device driver was installed. Restart the computer and check the
device again. If it is still listed under “Other devices,” refer to the
documentation that comes with the option, and reinstall the device driver.
Note: For further information, refer to the manual for the operating system.
Configuring PCI adapters
Along with the documentation that comes with your adapter, use the following
information to help with adapter configuration.
PCI adapters generally require no user configuration. The computer and operating
system work together to automatically manage the resources that are required by
each device that is installed in the computer and to assign resources to new
devices in a manner that avoids system conflicts.
Configuring startup devices
When your computer is turned on, it searches for an operating system. The order in
which it searches devices for the operating system is the startup sequence. After
adding new devices to the computer, you might want to change the startup
sequence. You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to configure startup
devices. For more information, see Access IBM on your desktop.

Appendix A. 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). A
battery keeps this information active when you turn off the computer.
The battery normally requires no charging or maintenance throughout its life;
however, no battery lasts forever. If the battery fails, the date, time, and
configuration information (including passwords) are lost. An error message is
displayed when you turn on the computer.
Refer to “Lithium battery notice” on page vi for information about replacing and
disposing of the battery.
To change the battery:
1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.
2. Unplug the power cord and remove the cover. See

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 Configuration/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
Configuration/Setup Utility program to view and change the configuration and setup
of your computer.
Your computer system board has a module called electrically erasableprogrammable read-only memory (EEPROM, also referred to as flash memory). You
can easily update POST, BIOS, and the Configuration/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.pc.ibm.com/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, follow the steps
for “Erasing a lost or forgotten password (clearing CMOS)” on page 56.
