Chapter 2. Safety information

This chapter contains the safety information that you need to be familiar with before servicing a computer.

General safety

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

vObserve good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance.

vWhen lifting any heavy object:

1.Ensure you can stand safely without slipping.

2.Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.

3.Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to lift.

4.Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any objects that weigh more than 16 kg (35 lb) or objects that you think are too heavy for you.

vDo not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or that makes the equipment unsafe.

vBefore you start the machine, ensure that other service representatives and the customer’s personnel are not in a hazardous position.

vPlace removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you are servicing the machine.

vKeep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over it.

vDo not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a machine. Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.

vInsert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a nonconductive clip, approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.

vDo not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your clothing.

Remember: Metal objects are good electrical conductors.

vWear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling soldering, cutting wire, attaching springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.

vAfter service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety device that is worn or defective.

vReinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the customer.

8089, 8086, 8087, 8090, 8094 specifications

The Lenovo 8088, 8094, 8090, 8087, and 8086 series represent a significant portion of the historical legacy of computing, particularly in the realm of personal computers and microprocessors. Each of these models showcases unique features and technologies that contributed to the evolution of computing during their time.

Starting with the Lenovo 8088, this microprocessor was an enhancement of the earlier Intel 8086, designed primarily for use in IBM-compatible PCs. Its 16-bit processor architecture was notably capable of handling 8-bit data bus interactions, which made it more versatile for various applications. The 8088 had a maximum clock speed of 4.77 MHz, providing sufficient computational power for its time. One of the key features was its support for segmented memory, which allowed for more efficient memory management by dividing memory into segments for code, data, and stack.

The Lenovo 8094, while less commonly mentioned, often refers to IBM’s PS/2 line that utilized advanced features for the time. It supported VGA graphics, a significant improvement in visual output that opened new possibilities for graphical user interfaces. The 8094 also hosted a more sophisticated input/output system that allowed for better compatibility and connectivity with peripherals.

Moving to the Lenovo 8090, this model was part of the PS/2 portfolio, noted for its improved hardware architecture. It provided an upgraded interface for keyboard and mouse, which enhanced user interaction. With further support for high-density floppy disks and better memory access speeds, the 8090 paved the way for more efficient personal computing experiences.

The Lenovo 8087 was an auxiliary processor that brought floating-point arithmetic capabilities to the 8086 series. This coprocessor greatly expanded the computing power of the CPU by handling complex mathematical computations, which was especially useful in engineering and scientific applications. The 8087 allowed for more precise calculations than the basic integer math natively supported by earlier processors.

Finally, the Lenovo 8086, iconic in its own right, was a groundbreaking microprocessor that introduced the x86 architecture. It operated at clock speeds ranging from 5 to 10 MHz and was one of the first to support 16-bit data types fully. Its capabilities shaped software development and computer programming and established a foundation for the PC compatibles we know today.

In summary, the evolution from the Lenovo 8088 through to the 8086 helped shape modern computing paradigms by introducing features that improved performance, efficiency, and user experience, paving the way for the vast technological advancements seen in contemporary computing devices.
