Preface
This publication provides
you
with an introduction
to
the
IBM
Personal Computer. Included are instructions for Setup, Problem
Determination Procedures (PDPs) Option Installation and Relocate.
Once your system
is
functional, Operation Instructions will aid
you
in the use
of
your new system.
This publication
is
intended for anyone who will be setting up, using
or programming
the
IBM
Personal Computer.
This guide has six sections:
Section
1.
Introduction, will highlight the configurations available
and identify the wide variety
of
options available
to
you.
Section
2.
Setup Procedures, contains instructions for placement,
cabling, and running
the
System Mini-test
of
your
new
IBM
Personal Computer.
Section
3.
Operation Instructions, introduces the user
to
the
fundamentals
of
system use.
Section
4.
Problem Detennination Procedures (PDPs), is the
section
that
will assist you in correcting problems
that
may occur
during setup and/or normal operations.
Section 5. Options, instructs
you
on
how
to
install, check
out
and
solve any problems
that
may occur during the installation
of
any
of
the options available.
Section
6.
Relocate, provides the information needed
if
it becomes
~
necessary
to
uncable and relocate
your
system.
iii
The
Easy
Way
to Start
Let's take a look
at
the easiest way
to
use Guide to Operations.
The first thing
you
should notice
is
the
six external tabs labeled:
INTRO, SETUP, OPERATIONS,
PDPs,
OPTIONS, and
RELOCATE. These are the major sections and
the
tabs will help
you
get
to
the
information
you
need quickly.
INTRO:
This section will highlight the way
your
IBM
Personal
Computer can be arranged and show
you
some
of
the many
options available to
you
in
both
hardware and software.
SETUP: This
part
of
the Guide helps
you
cable and test
your
system
to
see
that
it's working Okay.
OPERATIONS: Let's call this
the
learning and reference section.
Behind the section tab
you
will find a
content
page, and on the
right side
of
the page
you
will notice
what
we call bleeder tabs.
The bleeder tabs help
you
select what information
you
want
within
a"
section. The bleeder tabs
that
have lots
of
pages also have
their own detailed
content
pages (for example, Printer, DOS).
If
you're
new
to
computers, this section
is
written in easy-to-
understand language, and we think you'll find
it
helpful
to
spend a
little time reading it and trying
out
a few
of
the examples
on
your
IBM
Personal Computer.
If
you
are experienced
at
using
computers, this section
may
be used
for
a handy reference.
PDPs: Problem Determination Procedures.
If
you
have any type
of
problem with
your
IBM
Personal Computer, this
is
the section
you
will
go
to.
To
help
you
solve
your
problems most effectively,
all notes, steps, and information should be read carefully. This
section can also
be
used to thoroughly check
out
your
system.
OPTIONS: This
is
the do-it-yourself section. The installation
instructions
you
receive when
you
purchase an
option
should be
inserted behind the proper bleeder tab. This part
of
Guide to
Operations can contain a few pages
or
many pages depending
on
how many options
you
have.
RELOCATE: Whenever
you
need
to
move
your
IBM
Personal
Computer, this section should be reviewed.
It
contains a few hints
on
how
to
move
your
system safely and
without
damage.

Introduction
Welcome
to
the world
of
the IBM Personal Computer. Your new
system offers a wide variety
of
options
to
give you the ability
to
custom-tailor
your
system
to
meet
your
needs now, and the growth
potential for
the
future.
The
heart
or brains
of
your
Personal
Computer
is
the
System Unit.
Under the covers
of
this powerful table-top unit
is
where the options
are installed in any
of
the five expansion slots along with housing two
internal
5~"
Diskette Drives. The choice
of
options is what allows
this
computer
to
meet your needs. Your System Unit will
support
a variety
of
black and white
or
color televisions and monitors for
home entertainment, education, and business applications.
Your input
to
the
System Unit is through an 83-key keyboard which
includes a numeric keypad and 10 function keys. The keyboard
is
connected
to
the
System Unit with a six-foot coiled cable which
allows
you
to
move the keyboard
to
a comfortable operating
position.
The IBM 80 CPS Matrix Printer
is
a highly versatile Printer featuring
80 characters per second, bi-directional printing. Characters can be
printed in any desired size; enlarged, condensed, emphasized, and
normal. The use
of
ASCII codes lets
you
print all characters,
symbols and graphics
on
single
or
multi-part forms ranging in widths
from
4"
to
10". The Printer receives its instructions from the
System Unit through a Parallel Printer Adapter and signal cable.
A special set
of
instructional material comes with
your
Personal
Computer
so
you
don't
have
to
be a
computer
expert
to
be able
to
operate this powerful
but
compact system.
You will find a few examples on the following pages
that
show some
of
the basic configurations and options
that
your
new system can
have. Take a few minutes
to
familiarize yourself with the many
functions and applications
you
will be capable
of
performing.
The non-IBM devices in this manual are for illustration only, and their use
here does
not
constitute a recommendation or
an
endorsement by
IBM.
Selection, interconnection, and use
of
another manufacturer's device, are
the sole responsibility
of
the customer. Introduction 1-3
