5.Check for any obvious alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety of any alterations.

6.Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water or other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.

7.Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.

8.Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been removed or tampered with.

Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices

Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (ICs) should be considered sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between objects. Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the machine, the part, the work mat, and the person handling the part are all at the same charge.

Notes:

1.Use product-specific ESD procedures when they exceed the requirements noted here.

2.Make sure that the ESD protective devices you use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effective.

When handling ESD-sensitive parts:

vKeep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.

vAvoid contact with other people.

vWear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body.

vPrevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when you are wearing a wrist strap.

vUse the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface. The mat is especially useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices.

vSelect a grounding system, such as those listed below, to provide protection that meets the specific service requirement.

Note: The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect against ESD damage.

–Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire ground.

–Use an ESD common ground or reference point when working on a double-insulated or battery-operated system. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these systems.

–Use the round ground-prong of the ac plug on ac-operated computers.

Grounding requirements

Electrical grounding of the computer is required for operator safety and correct system function. Proper grounding of the electrical outlet can be verified by a certified electrician.

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.
