7.Restart the computer, leave it on for approximately 10 seconds, and then turn off the computer.

8.Repeat step 1.

9.Move the jumper back to the standard (pins 1 and 2).

10.Reassemble the computer and replace the cover. See “Replacing the cover and connecting the cables”.

Replacing the cover and connecting the cables

After working with options, you need to install any removed parts, replace the cover, and reconnect cables, including telephone lines and power cords. Also, depending on the option that is installed, you might need to confirm the updated information in the IBM Setup Utility program.

To replace the cover and connect cables to your computer:

1.Ensure that all components have been reassembled correctly and that no tools or loose screws are left inside your computer.

2.Clear any cables that might impede the replacement of the cover.

3.Place the cover over the computer and slide it to the rear until it is fully closed. Secure the cover with the two thumbscrews.

4.If your computer is being placed in the vertical position, attach the floor stand.

Attention: To prevent overheating and possible component damage, always attach the floor stand when placing the computer in the vertical position.

5.Reconnect the external cables and power cords to the computer. See “Locating connectors on the rear of your computer” on page 8.

6.To update the configuration, see Chapter 2, “Using the IBM Setup Utility” on page 21.
