Registering your computer
Registering your computer helps IBM provide better service to you. When IBM
receives your registration information, the information is placed into a central
technical support database. If you need technical assistance, the technical-support
representative will have information about your computer. In addition, comments
about your computer are reviewed by a team dedicated to customer satisfaction
and are taken into consideration in making improvements to IBM computers.
Use one of the following methods to register your computer in Windows:
v From the Windows XP desktop, click Start → All Programs → IBM Registration
and then follow the instructions. If you do not have access to the Internet, you
can use the registration program that starts from the IBM Registration folder to
print your registration information and provide your mailing address to IBM for
future assistance.
v
Register your computer at http://www.ibm.com/pc/register/.
For Red Hat Linux, click the Register PC icon on the desktop to register your
computer on the World Wide Web.
Creating an emergency recovery-repair diskette in Windows
Note: To create and use a diskette, you must add a diskette drive to the computer.
To enable a USB diskette drive to work, you must disable the legacy diskette drive
function in the Configuration/Setup Utility program (click Devices and I/O Ports →
Disable Legacy Diskette A ).
At your earliest opportunity, create a recovery-repair diskette and an IBM Enhanced
Diagnostics diskette or CD, and store them in a safe place. In the unlikely event
that the computer becomes unusable, you can use the recovery-repair diskette to
access the Product Recovery program. For more information about using the
diskette or CD, see the User’s Guide on the IBM IntelliStation Documentation CD.
