Chapter 1. Your IBM personal computer
Thank you for selecting an IBM Personal Computer. Your computer incorporates
many of the latest advances in personal computer technology and is easy to expand
and upgrade as your needs change. With its enhanced video and system
management capabilities, your computer is particularly suited for your corporate
intranet environment.
Identifying your computer
In most instances, the best way to identify your computer is by the machine
type/model number. The type/model number indicates the various features of the
computer, such as the type of microprocessor or 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 6862-123.
You need to know whether your computer is a PC 300PL or a PC 300GL. You also
need to know whether the computer is a desktop or tower.
PC 300PL tower models have 6 drive bays, 3 PCI slots and 3 ISA slots. PC 300PL
desktop models have 4 drive bays, 2 PCI slots, 1 ISA/PCI slot, and 1 ISA slot. All
PC 300PL models have an AGP slot on the system board.
PC 300GL tower models have 6 drive bays, 3 PCI slots, and 3 ISA slots. PC 300GL
desktop models have 4 drive bays, 2 PCI slots, 1 ISA/PCI slot, and 1 ISA slot.
There is no AGP slot on PC 300GL models.
The desktop model can be set on its side in a floor stand, but the orientation of the
drives will be vertical in that position, rather than horizontal. Towers and desktops
used in their normal orientations have horizontal drive bays.
Throughout this book, we will be describing PC 300PL and PC 300GL models, in
both desktop and tower versions. These naming conventions are used only where it
is appropriate. Instructions without these naming conventions apply to all the
computer models.
Desktop models
The desktop model PC 300PL comes with four drive bays and five expansion slots.
The fifth expansion slot is for an AGP adapter.
