Important safety information

Note

Please read important safety information first.

This information can help you safely use your ThinkCentre

personal computer. Follow and retain all information included with your computer. The information in this document does not alter the terms of your purchase agreement or the Lenovo

Customer safety is important. 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.

™

Statement of Limited Warranty.

or ThinkPad

Note: This information includes references to power adapters and batteries. In

addition to mobile personal computers, some products (such as speakers and monitors) ship 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

Products can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some product damage is serious enough that the product should not be used again until it has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an authorized servicer.

As 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, do not use the product. Contact the Customer Support Center or the product manufacturer for instructions on how to inspect the product and have it repaired, if necessary.

In 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

Page 8

unplug it from the power source and telecommunication lines until you can speak to the Customer Support Center for further guidance. See “Information resources” on page xiii.

v Power cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or power

supplies that are cracked, broken or damaged.

v Signs of overheating, smoke, sparks or fire.

v Damage to a battery (such as cracks, dents, creases), discharge from a battery, or

a buildup of foreign substances on the battery.

v A cracking, hissing or popping sound, or strong odor that comes from the

product.

v Signs that liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen onto the computer

product, the power cord or power adapter.

v The computer product, the power cord or power adapter has been exposed to

water.

v The product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

v The product does not operate normally when you follow the operating

instructions.

If you notice these conditions with a product (such as an extension cord)

Note:

that is not manufactured for or by Lenovo, 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

Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center. Use only a 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. Lenovo expressly identifies CRUs as 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 Customer Support Center.

Although there are no moving parts in your computer after the power cord has been disconnected, the following warnings are required for proper UL certification.

vi User Guide

Page 9

Danger

Hazardous moving parts. Keep fingers and other body parts away.

Attention

Before replacing any CRUs, turn off the computer and wait three to five minutes to let the computer cool before opening the cover.

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.

Do 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 on the power adapter.

Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show signs of 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

Important safety information vii

Page 10

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

If a 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.

Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the manufacturer to 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 by 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.

Be 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.

Carefully connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet.

Batteries

All personal computers manufactured by Lenovo 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 Lenovo for use with your product have been tested for compatibility and should only be replaced with 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.

viii User Guide

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 in a 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.

Page 11

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:

v Do 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, a skin burn.

v Do not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable materials or

in explosive environments.

v 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.

Tools required

To install some options in your computer, you might need a flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver. Additional tools might be needed for certain options. See the instructions that come with the option.

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.

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.

Appendix A. Updating system programs

This appendix contains information about updating POST/BIOS and how to recover from a POST/BIOS update failure.

System program

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 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 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 Setup Utility program by starting your computer using a flash update diskette or by running a special update program from your operating system.

Lenovo might make changes and enhancements to the POST/BIOS. When updates are released, they are available as downloadable files on the World Wide Web (see the Quick Reference). Instructions for using the POST/BIOS 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.

Note: You can download a self starting bootable CD image (known as an .iso

image) of the diagnostics program from http://www.lenovo.com/think/support to support systems without a diskette drive.

Updating (flashing) BIOS from a diskette or CD-ROM

To update (flash) the BIOS from a diskette or CD-ROM, do the following:

1. Insert a system program update (flash) diskette or CD-ROM into the diskette

drive or optical drive. System program updates are available at http://www.lenovo.com/think/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.

3. When you are prompted to select a language, press the number on your

keyboard that corresponds to the language and then press Enter.

4. When prompted to change the serial number, press Y.

5. Type in the seven character serial number of your computer and then press

Enter.

6. When prompted to change the machine type/model, press Y.

7. Type in the seven character machine type/model of your computer and then

press Enter.

8. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the update.

Updating (flashing) BIOS from your operating system

Note: Due to constant improvements being made to the Web site, Web page

content (including the links referenced in the following procedure) is subject to change.

1. From your browser, type http://www.lenovo.com/think/support in the

address field and press Enter.

2. Locate the Downloadable files for your machine type as follows:

a. Under Use Quick path, type your machine type and click Go.

b. Click Continue.

c. Click Downloads and drivers.

d. Under the BIOS category, click the Flash BIOS update.

e. Click the .txt file that contains the installation instructions for Flash BIOS

update (flash from the operating system version).

Print these instructions. This is very important since they are not on the screen

after the download begins.

4. From your browser, click Back to return to the list of files. Carefully follow the

printed instructions to download, extract, and install the update.

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 commonly called Boot-block Recovery.

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 open the computer cover.

See “Opening the cover” on page 11.

3. Locate the Clear CMOS/Recovery jumper on the system board. See

“Identifying parts on the system board” on page 13.

4. If necessary, see “Installing PCI adapters” on page 15 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. Reinstall the PCI riser assembly if removed.

7. Close the computer cover and reconnect any cables that were disconnected.

See “Closing the cover and connecting the cables” on page 28.

8. Reconnect the power cords for the computer and monitor to electrical outlets.

9. Insert the POST/BIOS update (flash) diskette into drive A, and turn on the

computer and the monitor.

10. The recovery session will take two to three minutes. During this time you will

hear a series of beeps. After the update session is completed, there will be no video, the series of beeps will end, and the system will automatically turn off. Remove the diskette from the diskette drive.

11. Repeat steps 2 through 4.

12. Replace the Clear CMOS/Recovery jumper to its original position.

13. Reinstall the PCI riser assembly if removed.

14. Close the computer cover and reconnect any cables that were disconnected.

See “Closing the cover and connecting the cables” on page 28.

15. Turn on the computer to restart the operating system.

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

If you experience some problems with your optical mouse, check the following:

1. Unplug the mouse from the computer.

2. Turn the mouse over and look carefully at the lens area.

a. If there is a smudge on the lens, gently clean the area with a plain

cotton-tipped swab.

b. If there is some debris in the lens, gently blow the debris away from the

area.

3. Check the surface on which you are using the mouse. 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

If 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.

1 Retainer ring 2 Ball 3 Plastic rollers 4 Ball cage

Page 56

To clean a mouse with a ball:

1. Turn off your computer.

2. Turn the mouse over, with the top side down, and look carefully at the bottom.

Twist the retainer ring1to the unlocked position to remove the ball.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. If 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.

7. Remove any fibers from the swab that might be remaining on the rollers.

8. Replace the ball and the retainer ring.

9. Turn your computer back on.

Appendix C. Manual modem commands

The following section lists commands for manually programming your modem.

Commands are accepted by the modem while it is in Command Mode. Your modem is automatically in Command Mode until you dial a number and establish a connection. Commands can be sent to your modem from a PC running communication software or any other terminal devices.

All commands sent to the modem must begin with AT and end with ENTER. All commands can be typed in either upper or lower case, but not mixed. To make the command line more readable, spaces can be inserted between commands. If you omit a parameter from a command that requires one, it is just like specifying a parameter of 0.

Example:

ATH [ENTER]

Basic AT commands

In the following listings, all default settings are printed in bold text.
