Chapter 1. IBM NetVista computer overview
Thank you for selecting an IBM NetVista computer. Your computer
incorporates many of the latest advances in computer technology and can be
upgraded as your needs change.
This section provides an overview of the computer features, preinstalled
software, and specifications.
Identifying your computer
The best way to identify your computer is by the machine type/model
number. The machine type/model number indicates the various features of the
computer, such as the type of microprocessor or the number of drive bays. You
can find this number on the small label on the front of your computer. An
example of a machine type/model number is 6568-110.
This book is for all models. When it is necessary to distinguish between
models you will see references to the model type. When the model is not
specified, the information applies to all. See the following pages for
descriptions of the two basic models.
