Installing memory
Your computer has four connectors for Rambus in-line memory modules (RIMMs)
that provide up to a maximum of 2 GB of system memory.
The IBM-installed RIMMs that come with your computer are ECC (error checking
and correction) Rambus dynamic random access memory (RDRAM) modules.
When installing or replacing RIMMs, take the following information into
consideration:
v 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.
v Each channel must contain the same amount of memory.
Chapter 3. Installing internal options 17
v Each RIMM connector supports a maximum of 512 MB of memory.
v Any connector that does not have a RIMM installed must have a continuity
RIMM (C-RIMM), a module that looks 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.
v Install only ECC RIMMs to enable ECC. If you use ECC and non-ECC memory
together, it will function as non-ECC memory.
v RIMM connectors do not support dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs).
v 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 16.
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.
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.
18 User Guide
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.

Installing internal drives
This section provides information and instructions for installing and removing
internal drives.
Internal drives are devices that your computer uses to read and store data. You can
add drives to your computer to increase storage capacity and to enable your
computer to read other types of media. Some of the different drives that are
available for your computer are:
v Hard disk drives
v Tape drives
v CD drives or DVD drives
v Removable media drives
Internal drives are installed in bays. Within this book, the bays are referred to as
bay 1, bay 2, and so on.
When you install an internal drive, it is important to note what type and size of
drive that you can install in each bay. Also, it is important to correctly connect the
internal drive cables to the installed drive.
Drive specifications
Your computer comes with the following IBM-installed drives:
v A CD drive or DVD drive in bay 1 (some models)
v A 3.5-inch hard disk drive in bay 3
v A 3.5-inch diskette drive in bay 4
Models that do not have drives installed in bays 1 and 2 have a static shield and
bay panel installed.
Chapter 3. Installing internal options 21
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.
1 Bay1-Maximum Height: 41.3 mm (1.6 in.) CD-ROM drive (standard in some models)
5.25-inch hard disk drive
2 Bay2-Maximum Height: 41.3 mm (1.6 in.) 5.25-inch hard disk drive
3.5-inch hard disk drive (requires a mounting
bracket)
CD-ROM drive
DVD-ROM drive
3 Bay3-Maximum Height: 25.4 mm (1.0 in.) 3.5-inch diskette drive (preinstalled)
4 Bay4-Maximum Height: 25.4 mm (1.0 in.) Hard disk drive
3.5-inch removable drive
5 Bay5-Maximum Height: 25.4 mm (1.0 in.) Hard disk drive
6 Bay6-Maximum Height: 25.4 mm (1.0 in.) Hard disk drive

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:
v Four-wire power cables connect most drives to the power supply. At the end of
these cables are plastic connectors that attach to different drives; these
connectors vary in size. Also, certain power cables attach to the system board.
22 User Guide
v Flat signal cables, also called ribbon cables, 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 these 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
80-conductor ATA 100 signal cable if you are replacing the existing
signal cable or adding a second hard disk drive. ATA 100 signal
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 hard 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 16.
The following are some important points to remember when connecting power and
signal cables to internal drives:
v 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.
v 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 board. This reduces electronic noise from
the computer.
v 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 recognized by the computer.
The primary or secondary designation is determined by switch or jumper
settings on each IDE device.
v 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.
v 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

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 = flash2.exe
3. Change this line to:
shell = flash2.exe /U
4. Save this file 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.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2000 37
7. Locate the Clear CMOS/Recovery jumper on the system board, removing any
adapters that impede access to the jumper. See the system board label inside
your computer for the location of the jumper. See also “Identifying parts on
