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.

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.
