IBM R31, R30 manual Thermal Sensor, Uuid

Note: If LCD cannot display after change ID code, make sure you write the correct ID code, or try reseating the LCD coaxtial cable connectors.

Thermal Sensor

The system is equipped with sensors to protect against system overheating. By setting system and processor thermal thresholds, the system can turn on the cooling fan or shut down automatically when temperatures reach the defined threshold parameters.

System experiencing frequent auto sensor shutdown may need to reset the thermal sensor threshold and execute the fan test to ensure the normal operation of the cooling fan.

Follow the steps below to set thermal threshold:

1.Install the ThinkPad CE Utility Diskette and restart the computer.

2.Select 2. Thermal Sensor Utility from the main menu.

3.Select 1. Read Thermal Settingto view the original setting or 2. Set Default Thermal Settingto restore the default setting.

UUID

The Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) is a 128–bit number uniquely assigned to your computer at production and stored in the EEPROM of your 24RF08. The algorithm that generates the unique number is designed to provide unique IDs until the year A.D. 3400. Consequently, no tow computers in the world will have the same number.

When you replace the system board, you must set the UUID on the new system board as follows:

1.Install the ThinkPad CE Utility Diskette and restart the computer.

2.Select 3. UUID Data Utility from the main menu then make a selection to read or create the UUID data.

A new UUID is created and written. If a valid UUID already exists, it is not overwritten.
