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.
8User Guide
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.
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.

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. Also,
depending on the option that is installed, you might need to confirm the updated
information in the IBM Setup Utility program.
To replace the cover and connect cables to your computer:
1. Ensure that all components have been reassembled correctly and that no tools
or loose screws are left inside your computer.
2. Clear any cables that might impede the replacement of the cover.
52User Guide
3. Position the cover on the chassis so that the rail guides on the bottom of the
cover engage the rails and push the cover closed until it latches.
4. Reconnect the external cables and power cords to the computer. See “Chapter 2.
Installing external options” on page 11.
5. To update the configuration, see “Chapter 6. Using the IBM Setup Utility
program” 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.
The IBM Setup Utility program is stored in the electrically erasable programmable
read-only memory (EEPROM) of your computer. The IBM Setup Utility program is
used to view and change the configuration settings of your computer, regardless of
which operating system you are using. However, the operating system settings
might override any similar settings in the IBM Setup Utility program.
Starting the IBM Setup Utility program
To start the IBM Setup Utility program, do the following:
1. If your computer is already on when you start this procedure, you must shut
down the operating system and turn off the computer.
2. Turn on the computer and look for the F1 prompt in the lower left corner of
the screen.
3. When the prompt displays, press F1. (This prompt is displayed for only a few
seconds. You must press F1 quickly.) If an administrator password has been set,
the IBM Setup Utility program menu is not displayed until you type your
password. See “Using passwords” for more information.
The IBM Setup Utility might start automatically when POST detects that hardware
has been removed or new hardware has been installed in your computer.
Viewing and changing settings
The IBM Setup Utility program menu lists items that identify system configuration
topics.
When working with the IBM Setup Utility program menu, you must use the
keyboard. The keys used to accomplish various tasks are displayed at the bottom
of each screen.
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.
Using passwords
You can use passwords to provide security for your computer and data. There are
two kinds of passwords: a user password and an administrator password. You do
not have to set a password of either type to use your computer. However, if you
decide to set either one, read the following sections.
User password
The user password feature deters unauthorized persons from gaining access to
your computer.
Setting an administrator password deters unauthorized persons from changing
configuration settings. If you are responsible for maintaining the settings of several
computers, you might want to set an administrator password.
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.
If both the user and administrator passwords are set, you can type either
password. However, to change any configuration settings, you must use your
administrator password.
Setting, changing, and deleting a password
To set, change, or delete a password, do the following:
Note: A password can be any combination of up to seven characters (A- Z, a-z,
and 0-9).
1. Start the IBM Setup Utility program (see “Starting the IBM Setup Utility
program” on page 55).
2. From the IBM Setup Utility program menu, select Security. Read the
information displayed at the right side of the screen.

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 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. You can use the IBM Setup
Utility program to view and change the configuration and setup of your computer.
Your computer system board has a module called electrically erasable programmableread-only memory (EEPROM, also referred to as flash memory). You can easily update
POST, BIOS, and the IBM 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, perform the
following procedure to recover:
1. Turn off the computer and any attached devices, such as printers, monitors,
and external drives.
2. Unplug all power cords from electrical outlets, and remove the cover. See
“Removing the cover” on page 17 (small desktop model), “Removing the
cover” on page 29 (desktop model), or “Removing the cover” on page 41
(microtower model).
3. Locate the Clear CMOS/Recovery jumper on the system board. See
“Identifying parts on the system board” on page 18 (small desktop model),
“Identifying parts on the system board” on page 30 (desktop model), or
“Identifying parts on the system board” on page 43 (microtower model).
4. If necessary, refer to Installing adapters to remove any adapters that impede
access to the Clear CMOS/Recovery jumper.
5. Move the jumper from the standard position (pins 1 and 2) to pins 2 and 3.
6. Replace the cover. See “Replacing the cover and connecting the cables” on
page 26 (small desktop model), “Replacing the cover and connecting the
cables” on page 38 (desktop model), or “Replacing the cover and connecting
the cables” on page 52 (microtower model).
7. Reconnect the power cords for the computer and monitor to electrical outlets.
8. Insert the POST/BIOS update (flash) diskette into drive A, and turn on the
computer and the monitor.
9. After the update session is completed, there will be no video and the series of
beeps will end. Remove the diskette from the diskette drive, and turn off the
computer and monitor.
10. Unplug the power cords from electrical outlets.
11. Remove the cover. See “Removing the cover” on page 17 (small desktop
model), “Removing the cover” on page 29 (desktop model), or “Removing the
cover” on page 41 (microtower model).
12. Remove any adapters that impede access to the BIOS Configuration jumper.
13. Replace the Clear CMOS/Recovery jumper to its original position.
14. Replace any adapters that were removed.
15. Replace the cover and reconnect any cables that were disconnected.
