Voltage Supply Switch Settings
Your IBM Personal Computer might have voltage switches,
which must be set correctly for your voltage supply. If your
monitor or system unit has a voltage switch, complete these
steps to make sure each switch is set correctly:
1. Determine the correct voltage switch setting for your area:
Voltage Supply Range Voltage Switch Setting
100-127 V 115 V
200-240 V 230 V
2. Locate the voltage switch on the back of your monitor or
system unit. If the setting shown on the switch is:
qCorrect: start setting up your IBM personal computer.
qIncorrect: change the voltage switch setting.

qThrow or immerse into water
qHeat to more than 100°C (212°F)
qRepair or disassemble
Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or
regulations.
Caution:
When a CD-ROM drive is installed, note the following.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein might result
in hazardous radiation exposure.
Removing the covers of the CD-ROM drive could result in
exposure to hazardous laser radiation. There are no
serviceable parts inside the CD-ROM drive. Do not remove
the CD-ROM drive covers.

7
DANGER
Some CD-ROM drives contain an embedded Class 3A or
Class 3B laser diode. Note the following.
Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam,
do not view directly with optical instruments, and avoid
direct exposure to the beam.
≥≥32 Kg ≥≥55Kg

lbs) lbs)
Caution:
Use safe lifting practices when lifting your machine.
Caution:
Electrical current from power, telephone, and
communication cables can be hazardous. To avoid
personal injury or equipment damage, disconnect the
attached power cords, telecommunications systems,
networks, and modems before you open the covers, unless
instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration
procedures.
