upgrade peripherals. In addition, the system board is on a sliding mechanism so
that you can slide the system board in and out of the computer frame.
Support for Plug and Play technology is built into the system board of your PC.
This feature makes adding options easier. When you add an adapter that is Plug
and Play-compatible, the adapter is configured automatically. In most cases, no
switches or jumpers have to be set on the adapter.
If you have a problem with your PC, IBM provides an easy-to-use diagnostic
program (QAPlus/PRO) that you can run to help determine if a hardware
component is causing the problem. A startable QAPlus/PRO diskette is provided
with your computer. In addition, operating system-specific diagnostic programs
(and QAPlus/PRO) are included on the Ready-to-Configure CD that comes with your
computer. See page 95 for additional information.
Ergonomic Features
Your PC has ergonomic features that make it more comfortable to use. The power
switch and indicator lights are located on the front panel for easy access and
visibility. The microphone and headphone connections, along with a volume
control for the headphone and internal speaker volume, are also located on the front
panel for easy access and convenience. In addition, you can easily change monitor
settings to reduce or eliminate flicker and jitter, and you can adjust the angle of the
keyboard to make typing more comfortable.
Advanced Power Management
Energy conservation is an important concern. Your computer has Advanced Power
Management (APM) features that allow you to set different levels of energy
conservation for specific components of your computer. You can view and change
APM settings using the Configuration/Setup Utility program or the Windows 95
control panel.
