For information on these features, refer to "Using System-Management Features" on page 32. IBM-Preinstalled Software IBM-preinstalled software is provided with some PC models. This software includes an operating system, device drivers to support built-in features, and other support programs. Detailed information about this software is included in About Your Software, which is included with the preinstallation package. Operating-System Support Your computer is designed to use a variety of operating systems in order to meet your particular needs. See page 19 for a list of operating systems that you can use with your PC. Ease-of-Use Features Your computer has many features that make it easy to work with, including a state-of-the-art system board, Plug and Play technology, and easy-to-use diagnostic programs. The system board in your computer makes upgrading and servicing your PC easier. Cable connections for standard devices are located on the riser card. This arrangement helps to eliminate cable tangle and clutter on the system board, allows shorter cables, and makes it easier to remove the system board or to 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 (PC Doctor) that you can run to help determine if a hardware component is causing the problem. You can create a startable PC Doctor diskette for your computer from the download or the Ready-to-Configure Utility Program CD. In addition, operating system-specific diagnostic programs (and PC Doctor) are included on the Ready-to-Configure Utility Program CD for your computer. 8 Using Your Personal Computer
