Chapter 2. Installing options This chapter provides instructions for installing optional memory, PCI adapters, drives, and security features. When installing an option, use these instructions along with the instructions that come with the option. Important Before you install or remove any option, read "Important safety information" on page v. These precautions and guidelines will help you work safely. Handling static-sensitive devices Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and options. When you add an option, do not open the static-protective package containing the option until you are instructed to do so. When you handle options and other computer components, take these precautions to avoid static electricity damage: v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you. v Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters and memory modules by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry. v Prevent others from touching components. v When you install a new option, touch the static-protective package containing the option to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body. v When possible, remove the option and install it directly in the computer without setting the option down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective package that the option came in on a smooth, level surface and place the option on it. v Do not place the option on the computer cover or other metal surface. Installing external options This section shows the various external connectors on your computer to which you can attach external options, such as external speakers, a printer, or a scanner. For some external options, you must install additional software in addition to making the physical connection. When adding an external option, use the information in this section to identify the required connector, and then use the instructions that come with the option to help you make the connection and install any software or device drivers that are required for the option. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2004 9

Chapter
2.
Installing
options
This
chapter
provides
instructions
for
installing
optional
memory,
PCI
adapters,
drives,
and
security
features.
When
installing
an
option,
use
these
instructions
along
with
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
option.
Important
Before
you
install
or
remove
any
option,
read
“Important
safety
information”
on
page
v.
These
precautions
and
guidelines
will
help
you
work
safely.
Handling
static-sensitive
devices
Static
electricity,
although
harmless
to
you,
can
seriously
damage
computer
components
and
options.
When
you
add
an
option,
do
not
open
the
static-protective
package
containing
the
option
until
you
are
instructed
to
do
so.
When
you
handle
options
and
other
computer
components,
take
these
precautions
to
avoid
static
electricity
damage:
v
Limit
your
movement.
Movement
can
cause
static
electricity
to
build
up
around
you.
v
Always
handle
components
carefully.
Handle
adapters
and
memory
modules
by
the
edges.
Never
touch
any
exposed
circuitry.
v
Prevent
others
from
touching
components.
v
When
you
install
a
new
option,
touch
the
static-protective
package
containing
the
option
to
a
metal
expansion-slot
cover
or
other
unpainted
metal
surface
on
the
computer
for
at
least
two
seconds.
This
reduces
static
electricity
in
the
package
and
your
body.
v
When
possible,
remove
the
option
and
install
it
directly
in
the
computer
without
setting
the
option
down.
When
this
is
not
possible,
place
the
static-protective
package
that
the
option
came
in
on
a
smooth,
level
surface
and
place
the
option
on
it.
v
Do
not
place
the
option
on
the
computer
cover
or
other
metal
surface.
Installing
external
options
This
section
shows
the
various
external
connectors
on
your
computer
to
which
you
can
attach
external
options,
such
as
external
speakers,
a
printer,
or
a
scanner.
For
some
external
options,
you
must
install
additional
software
in
addition
to
making
the
physical
connection.
When
adding
an
external
option,
use
the
information
in
this
section
to
identify
the
required
connector,
and
then
use
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
option
to
help
you
make
the
connection
and
install
any
software
or
device
drivers
that
are
required
for
the
option.
