Handling your ThinkPad computer

Handling your ThinkPad computer

Laptop computers are precision machines that require

a bit

of car

handling.

Though

the

IBM

ThinkPad computer

is designed

and

tested

to

be

a durable

notebook computer

that

functions reliably in

normal

work

environments,

following

the ThinkPad

do's

and don'ts

will

help

 

ensure many years of comfortable and productive use from your computer.

ThinkPad do's

ŸChoose a quality carrying case that will provide excellent pro-

tection for your computing investment. Treat your computer like a precision piece of electronic machinery.

ŸRegister your ThinkPad products with IBM. This can help authori-

ties

return

your

computer to you

if it

is lost or stolen. Regi

your computer also enables IBM to notify you about possible

upgrades.

 

 

 

 

 

Ÿ Retain

and

store

packing

materials

safely

out of reach of child

to prevent

the risk of

suffocation

from

plastic bags.

ŸCheck the IBM Web pageshttp://wwwat .pc.ibm.com/support

periodically to get current information about your computer.

ThinkPad don'ts

Ÿ Do not leave the base of your

computer in

contact with

your la

or any part of your body for

an extended period when the c

puter is functioning or when the

battery is charging. You com-

puter dissipates some heat during normal operation. Extended

contact to the skin could cause

discomfort

or, eventually,

a skin

burn.

 

 

 

ŸDo not subject your computer to physical punishment, such as

 

dropping

or

bumping.

 

 

Ÿ

Do

not

place

heavy

objects

on your computer.

Ÿ

Do

not

spill

or

allow

liquids

into your computer.

Ÿ

Do

not use

your computer in or near water (to avoid the dange

 

of

electrical

shock).

i Series 1300, i Series 1200 specifications

The IBM i Series 1200 and i Series 1300 are part of IBM's family of midrange servers, known for their reliability, performance, and integrated functionalities. These servers are designed to meet the needs of businesses of various sizes, providing the necessary tools to support critical business applications and processes.

One of the main features of the i Series 1200 is its robust architecture, which is built on a combination of powerful processors and memory options. The i Series 1200 utilizes IBM's POWER architecture, which is known for its high-performance capabilities and energy efficiency. This allows businesses to run demanding workloads smoothly while maintaining lower operational costs. The server's scalability also enables organizations to expand their computing resources as their needs grow.

The i Series 1300 takes this a step further by incorporating enhanced processing power and advanced storage options. With a greater number of cores and threads, the i Series 1300 can handle heavy multitasking and parallel processing more efficiently. This server is particularly beneficial for industries that require significant data processing capabilities, such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing.

Both i Series models feature integrated storage systems, which streamline data management and enhance performance. The use of Solid State Drives (SSDs) in these systems allows for faster data access, increased reliability, and improved energy efficiency compared to traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). This is particularly advantageous in environments where speed and data integrity are paramount.

Additionally, the i Series 1200 and 1300 come with built-in security features designed to safeguard sensitive business information. IBM has integrated several advanced security technologies, including encryption and access controls, making it easier for organizations to comply with regulatory standards and protect their data from potential threats.

Moreover, IBM's i operating system plays a critical role in the functionality of the i Series servers. It offers a unique combination of a robust database management system, business intelligence tools, and application development capabilities. The seamless integration with various programming languages and platforms accelerates application development and enhances versatility.

Lastly, both the i Series 1200 and 1300 support virtualization technologies, enabling organizations to run multiple virtual servers on a single physical machine. This not only optimizes resource utilization but also simplifies management and reduces costs, making it an attractive option for businesses looking to enhance their IT infrastructure.

In conclusion, the IBM i Series 1200 and 1300 represent a powerful and reliable solution for businesses seeking to improve their computing capabilities. With their blend of performance, scalability, and security features, these servers are well-equipped to support the diverse needs of modern enterprises.
