User

Guide

Important

safety

information

This

information

can

help

you

safely

use

your

IBM

®

personal

computer.

Follow

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

or

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

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

IBM

Support

Center

or

the

product

manufacturer

for

instructions

on

how

to

inspect

the

product

and

have

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

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

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

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.

vi

User

Guide

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

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.

Batteries

All

coin

cell

battery

to

provide

power

to

the

clock.

In

addition

many

mobile

products

such

as

Thinkpad

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,

Do

not

Important

safety

information

vii

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

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.
