Important safety information
This information can help you safely use your IBM and retain all information included with your IBM computer. The information in this document does not alter the terms of your purchase agreement or the IBM Statement of Limited Warranty.
Customer safety is important to IBM. Our products are developed to be safe and effective. However, personal computers are electronic devices. Power cords, power adapters, and other features can create potential safety risks that can result in physical injury or property damage, especially if misused. To reduce these risks, follow the instructions included with your product, observe all warnings on the product and in the operating instructions, and review the information included in this document carefully. By carefully following the information contained in this document and provided with your product, you can help protect yourself from hazards and create a safer computer work environment.
Note: This information includes references to power adapters and batteries. In
addition to mobile personal computers, IBM ships some products (such as speakers
monitors) with external power adapters. If you have such a product, this information applies to your product. In addition, your computer product may contain a coin-sized internal battery that provides power to your system clock even when the machine is unplugged, so the battery safety information applies to all computers.
Conditions that require immediate action
®

inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an authorized servicer.
with any electronic device, pay close attention to the product when it is turned on. On very rare occasions, you might notice an odor or see a puff of smoke or sparks vent from your machine. Or you might hear sounds like popping, cracking or hissing. These conditions might merely mean that an internal electronic component has failed in a safe and controlled manner. Or, they might indicate a potential safety issue. However, do not take risks or attempt to diagnose the situation yourself.
Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage or wear or signs of danger. If you have any question about the condition of a component,
not use the product. Contact the IBM Support Center or the product manufacturer for instructions on how to inspect the product and have it repaired, if necessary.
the unlikely event that you notice any of the conditions listed below, or if you have any safety concerns with your product, stop using the product and unplug it from the power source and telecommunication lines until you can speak to the IBM Support Center for further guidance.

cracking, hissing or popping sound, or strong odor that comes from the
product. Signs that liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen onto the computer
product, the power cord or power adapter. The computer product, the power cord or power adapter has been exposed to
water. The product has been dropped or damaged in any way. The product does not operate normally when you follow the operating
instructions.
Note: If you notice these conditions with a non-IBM product (such as an extension
cord), stop using that product until you can contact the product manufacturer for further instructions, or until you get a suitable replacement.
General safety guidelines
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and property damage.
Service
not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the IBM Support Center. Use only an IBM authorized service provider who is approved to repair your particular product.
Note: Some parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. These parts are
referred to as Customer Replaceable Units, or CRUs. IBM expressly identifies CRUs
such, and provides documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for customers to replace those parts. You must closely follow all instructions when performing such replacements. Always make sure that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source before you attempt the replacement. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the IBM Support Center.
Power cords and power adapters
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product manufacturer.
Never wrap a power cord around the power adapter or other object. Doing so can stress the cord in ways that can cause the cord to fray, crack or crimp. This can present a safety hazard.
Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by objects.
Protect the cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your cord or power adapter near sinks, tubs, toilets, or on floors that are cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause a short circuit, particularly if the cord or power adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids can also cause gradual corrosion of the power cord terminals and/or the connector terminals on the adapter which can eventually result in overheating.

Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and ensure that
all power cord connectors are securely and completely plugged into receptacles.
not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins and/or
shows signs of overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input or anywhere
the power adapter.
not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show signs
corrosion or overheating or where the power cord appears to have been
damaged in any way.
Extension cords and related devices
Ensure that extension cords, surge protectors, uninterruptible power supplies, and
power strips that you use are rated to handle the electrical requirements of the
product. Never overload these devices. If power strips are used, the load should
not exceed the power strip input rating. Consult an electrician for more
information if you have questions about power loads, power requirements, and
input ratings.
Plugs and outlets
receptacle (power outlet) that you intend to use with your computer equipment appears to be damaged or corroded, do not use the outlet until it is replaced by a qualified electrician.
not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the manufacturer
obtain a replacement.
Some products are equipped with a three-pronged plug. This plug fits only into a grounded electrical outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat this safety feature
trying to insert it into a non-grounded outlet. If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician for an approved outlet adapter or to replace the outlet with one that enables this safety feature. Never overload an electrical outlet. The overall system load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating. Consult an electrician for more information if you have questions about power loads and branch circuit ratings.
sure that the power outlet you are using is properly wired, easily accessible, and located close to the equipment. Do not fully extend power cords in a way that will stress the cords.
Connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet carefully
Batteries
All IBM personal computers contain a non-rechargeable coin cell battery to provide power to the system clock. In addition many mobile products such as Thinkpad notebook PCs utilize a rechargeable battery pack to provide system power when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by IBM for use with your product have been tested for compatibility and should only be replaced with IBM approved parts.
Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate batteries or short circuit the metal contacts. Do not expose the battery to water or other liquids. Only recharge the battery pack strictly according to instructions included in the product documentation.

Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which can cause gasses or flame to “vent” from the battery pack or coin cell. If your battery is damaged, or if you notice any discharge from your battery or the buildup of foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and obtain a replacement from the battery manufacturer.
Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time. For some rechargeable batteries (particularly Lithium Ion batteries), leaving a battery unused
discharged state could increase the risk of a battery short circuit, which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose a safety hazard. Do not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or store these batteries in a discharged state.
Heat and product ventilation
Computers generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging. Notebook PCs can generate a significant amount of heat due to their compact size. Always follow these basic precautions:
not leave the base of your computer in contact with your lap or any part of your body for an extended period when the computer is functioning or when the battery is charging. Your computer produces some heat during normal operation. Extended contact with the body could cause discomfort or, potentially,
skin burn.
not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable materials or
explosive environments.
Ventilation slots, fans and/or heat sinks are provided with the product for safety, comfort, and reliable operation. These features might inadvertently become blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, carpet, or other flexible surface. Never block, cover or disable these features.
CD and DVD drive safety
and DVD drives spin discs at a high speed. If a CD or DVD is cracked or otherwise physically damaged, it is possible for the disc to break apart or even shatter when the CD drive is in use. To protect against possible injury due to this situation, and to reduce the risk of damage to your machine, do the following:
Always store CD/DVD discs in their original packaging Always store CD/DVD discs out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat
sources Remove CD/DVD discs from the computer when not in use
not bend or flex CD/DVD discs, or force them into the computer or their
packaging Check CD/DVD discs for cracks before each use. Do not use cracked or
damaged discs

Administrator password
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.
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
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).

Appendix A. Updating system programs
This appendix contains information about updating system programs 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 programmable read-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 or by running a special update program from your operating system.
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 .txt file that is included with the update files. For most models, you can download either an update program to create a system-program-update (flash) diskette or an update program that can be run from the operating system.
Updating (flashing) BIOS from a diskette
Insert a system program update (flash) diskette into the diskette drive (drive A)
your computer. System program updates are available at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ on the World Wide Web. Turn on the computer. If it is on already, you must turn it off and back on
again. The update begins.
Updating (flashing) BIOS from your operating system
Note: Due to constant improvements being made to the IBM Web site, Web page
content (including the links referenced in the following procedure) is subject
change.
From your browser, type http://www.pc.ibm.com/support in the address field and press Enter.
Locate the Downloadable files for your machine type. Under Select your product, choose your machine type and click Go.
Downloadable file by category, click BIOS. Under Download files - BIOS by date, click your machine type. Scroll down and look for a .txt file that has instructions for Flash BIOS update
from the operating system. Click the .txt file. Print these instructions. This is very important since they are not on the screen
after the download begins.

Recovering from a POST/BIOS update failure
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 (also known as a Boot-block Recovery):
Turn off the computer and any attached devices, such as printers, monitors, and external drives.
Unplug all power cords from electrical outlets, and remove the cover. See Removing the cover in the chapter for your model.
Locate the Clear CMOS/Recovery jumper on the system board. See Identifying parts on the system board in the chapter for your model type.
necessary, refer to Installing adapters to remove any adapters that impede
access to the Clear CMOS/Recovery jumper. Move the jumper from the standard position (pins 1 and 2) to pins 2 and 3. Replace the cover. See Replacing the cover and connecting the cables in the
chapter for your model type. Reconnect the power cords for the computer and monitor to electrical outlets. Insert the POST/BIOS update (flash) diskette into drive A, and turn on the
computer and the monitor. 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.

Appendix B. Cleaning the mouse
This appendix provides instructions on how to clean your mouse. The procedure will be different depending on which type of mouse you have.
Cleaning an optical mouse
you experience some problems with your optical mouse, check the following:
Turn the mouse over and look carefully at the lens area.
there is a smudge on the lens, gently clean the area with a plain cotton
swab or plain q-tip.
there is some debris in the lens, gently blow the debris away from the
area.
Check the surface you are using the mouse on. If you have a very intricate

picture or pattern beneath the mouse it is difficult for the digital signal processor (DSP) to determine changes in the mouse position.
Cleaning a mouse with a ball
the pointer on the screen does not move smoothly with the mouse, you might
need to clean the mouse.
Note: The following illustration might be slightly different from your mouse.

Place your hand over the retainer ring and ball2, and then turn the mouse over, top side up, so that the retainer ring and ball fall out into your hand.
Wash the ball in warm, soapy water then dry it with a clean cloth. Blow air carefully into the ball cage4to dislodge dust and lint.
Look for a build up of dirt on the plastic rollers3inside the ball cage. This build up usually appears as a stripe running across the middle of the rollers.
the rollers are dirty, clean them by using a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Turn the rollers with your finger and continue swabbing them until all the dirt is removed. Be sure the rollers are still centered in their channels after you clean them.
Remove any fibers from the swab that might be remaining on the rollers. Replace the ball and the retainer ring. Turn your computer back on.
