Chapter 1. IBM PC 300PL and PC 300GL
overview
Thank you for selecting an IBM PC 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
In most instances, 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 and
the number of 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
6564-110.
The information in this guide is for both PC 300GL desktop and tower and
PC300PL desktop models, and the different machine types of these models.
When it is necessary to distinguish between models and machine types, you
will be given a reference to the specific model and type number (for
example, PC 300PL 6565). When the model or machine type is not
specified, the information applies to all computer models and machine
types.
