IBM security solutions
The PC 300PL 6565 includes IBM security solutions. IBM security solutions
help to make your electronic business transactions more secure. An
integrated security chip called the IBM Embedded Security Chip gives your
computer the functionality of a SmartCard without the added cost. IBM
security solutions also includes User Verification Manager software that
helps manage authentication so that you decide who has access to the
components of your system.
Using video features
Your computer has a video adapter preinstalled in the AGP slot. Some
models come with a super video graphics array (SVGA) adapter while
others come with a DVI adapter. A DVI adapter will also support an SVGA
monitor by using a converter connected to the output connector. Each of
these adapters support a variety of video modes. Video modes are different
combinations of resolution, refresh rate, and color defined by a video
standard for displaying text or graphics. For more information on video
modes, refer to Understanding Your Personal Computer (provided on the
Software Selections CD that comes with your computer).
Video device drivers
To take full advantage of the graphics adapter in your computer, some
operating systems and application programs require software, known as
video device drivers. These device drivers provide support for greater
speed, higher resolution, more available colors, and flicker-free images.
Device drivers for the graphics adapter and a README file with
instructions for installing the device drivers are provided on the Product
Recovery CD or the Device Driver and IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD that
comes with your computer. If your computer has IBM-preinstalled
software, video device drivers have already been installed on the hard disk.
However, you can use the device driver installation instructions if you need
to reinstall the device drivers or if you need information on obtaining and
installing updated device drivers.
