Year 2000 readiness and instructions

This is a Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure.

A product is Year 2000 Ready if the product, when used in accordance with its 
associated documentation, is capable of correctly processing, providing and/or 
receiving date data within and between the 20th and 21st centuries, provided all other 
products (for example, software, hardware, and firmware) used with the product 
properly exchange date data with it.

This IBM PC hardware product has been designed to process four-digit date 
information correctly within and between the 20th and 21st centuries. If your IBM 
computer is on when the century changes, you should turn it off and then back on 
again once, or restart the operating system, to ensure that the internal clock resets 
itself for the new century.

This IBM PC product cannot prevent errors that might occur if software you use or 
exchange data with is not ready for the Year 2000. IBM software that comes with this 
product is Year 2000 Ready. However, software from other companies might come 
with this IBM PC product. IBM cannot take responsibility for the readiness of that 
software. You should contact the software developers directly if you wish to verify 
readiness, understand limitations, or look for any software updates.

To learn more about IBM PC products and the Year 2000, visit our Web site at 
http://www.ibm.com/pc/year2000. The information and tools there can help you 
with your Year 2000 transition plan, especially if you have multiple IBM PCs.  IBM 
encourages you to check periodically for updated information.
