Modem safety information
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using telephone
equipment, always follow basic safety precautions, such as:
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically
designed for wet locations.
• Never touch un-insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line
has been disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm.
There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Laser compliance statement
Some IBM Personal Computer models are equipped from the factory with a CD-
ROM drive or a DVD-ROM drive. CD-ROM drives and DVD-ROM drives are also
sold separately as options. CD-ROM drives and DVD-ROM drives are laser
products. These drives are certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of
the Department of Health and Human Services 21 Code of Federal Regulations
(DHHS 21 CFR) Subchapter J for Class 1 laser products. Elsewhere, these
drives are certified to conform to the requirements of the International
Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) 825 and CENELEC EN 60 825 for Class 1 laser products.
When a CD-ROM drive or a DVD-ROM drive is installed, note the following
handling instructions.
CAUTION:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Removing the covers of the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive could result in
exposure to hazardous laser radiation. There are no serviceable parts inside the
CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive. Do not remove the drive covers.
Some CD-ROM drives and DVD-ROM drives contain an embedded Class 3A or
Class 3B laser diode. Note the following statement.
DANGER
Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not view directly with
optical instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the beam.

Arranging your workspace
To get the most from your computer, arrange both the equipment you use and
your work area to suit your needs and the kind of work you do. Your comfort is of
foremost importance, but light sources, air circulation, and the location of
electrical outlets also can affect the way you arrange your workspace.
Comfort
Although no single working position is ideal for everyone, here are a few
guidelines to help you find a position that suits you best.
Sitting in the same position for a long time can cause fatigue. A good chair can
make a big difference. The backrest and seat should adjust independently and
provide good support. The seat should have a curved front to relieve pressure on
the thighs. Adjust the seat so that your thighs are parallel to the floor and your
feet are either flat on the floor or on a footrest.
When using the keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor and your
wrists in a neutral, comfortable position. Try to keep a light touch on the
keyboard and your hands and fingers relaxed. You can change the angle of the
keyboard for maximum comfort by adjusting the position of the keyboard feet.
Adjust the monitor so the top of the screen is at, or slightly below, eye level.
Place the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance, usually 51 to 61 cm (20 to
24 in.), and position it so you can view it without having to twist your body.
Also position other equipment you use regularly, such as the telephone or a
mouse, within easy reach.

Glare and lighting
Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections from overhead lights,
windows, and other light sources. Even reflected light from shiny surfaces can
cause annoying reflections on your monitor screen. Place the monitor at right
angles to windows and other light sources, when possible. Reduce overhead
lighting, if necessary, by turning off lights or using lower wattage bulbs. If you
install the monitor near a window, use curtains or blinds to block the sunlight.
You might have to adjust the Brightness and Contrast controls on the monitor as
the room lighting changes throughout the day.
Where it is impossible to avoid reflections or to adjust the lighting, an antiglare
filter placed over the screen might be helpful. However, these filters might affect
the clarity of the image on the screen; try them only after you have exhausted
other methods of reducing glare.
Dust buildup compounds problems associated with glare. Remember to clean
your monitor screen periodically using a soft cloth moistened with a nonabrasive
liquid glass cleaner.
Air circulation
Your computer and monitor produce heat. The computer has a fan that pulls in
fresh air and forces out hot air. The monitor lets hot air escape through vents.
Blocking the air vents can cause overheating, which might result in a
malfunction or damage. Place the computer and monitor so that nothing blocks
the air vents; usually, 51 mm (2 in.) of air space is sufficient. Also, make sure the
vented air is not blowing on someone else.
Electrical outlets and cable lengths
The location of electrical outlets and the length of power cords and cables that
connect to the monitor, printer, and other devices might determine the final
placement of your computer.
When arranging your workspace:
• Avoid the use of extension cords. When possible, plug the computer power
cord directly into an electrical outlet.
• Keep power cords and cables neatly routed away from walkways and others.

Getting Started
Components included
Adding hardware options to your computer is an easy way to increase its
capabilities. Instructions for installing external and internal options are included in
this publication. When adding an option, use these instructions along with the
instructions that come with the option.
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:
• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
• Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters and memory modules
by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.
• Prevent others from touching components.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not place the option on the computer cover or other metal surface.
Important
Before you install any option, read “Safety Information” on precautions and
guidelines will help you work safely.

Controlling monitor settings
When you connected your monitor to your system unit and turned your computer
on for the first time, your computer automatically selected settings for monitor
performance. Depending on the monitor you have, you might want to change
some of these settings for optimal performance. Using Windows 98, you can
customize the screen resolution, number of colors, the size of the screen, and
other properties.
