Introduction This chapter gives a general overview of the Aptiva Machine Type 2170/2171/ 2172, describes the standard and optional features, and details functional and environmental specifications.
Product Overview Machine Types 2170, 2171, and 2172 have two PCI slots and one PCI/ISA shared slot. The 2170 system supports the AMD K6 processor family and while the 2171 and 2172 supports the Pentium III processors. The machine types 2171 and 2172 support Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP), which allows installed system memory to be used as texture memory, yielding a huge texture footprint to enhance 3D graphical display performance.
Hard Disk Drive • 3.5-in., 1-in. height IDE AT drive. (3.5-in may be in acoustic mounting bracket) • 128 KB “look-ahead” cache memory in hard disk drive. • Average and minimum 12 ms seek time, access time varies for the hard disk drive and the hard disk drive manufacturer.

CMOS Reset This system does not deny access to BIOS Setup Utility. Execute “Load BIOS Default Settings” in BIOS Setup to clear the corrupted CMOS data. See “Loading the Default Settings” on page 15.
Power-On Password A power-on password denies access to the system by an unauthorized user when the system is powered on. When a power-on password is active, the password prompt appears on the screen each time the system is powered on. The system starts after the proper password is entered.
Flash (BIOS) Update Procedure NOTE: The flash update procedure does not change the model number and serial number information in BIOS. 1. Prepare a bootable DOS diskette disk with AFLASH.EXE, MSG.DAT, VXXYYZZ.RN and VXXYYZZ.BIN files NOTE: The AFLASH.EXE and MSG.DAT are flash utility programs. The VXXYYZZ.RN file has the BIOS checksum information.
BIOS-contained Model Number and Serial Number The model number and serial number information is stored in BIOS ROM and displayed in the “Model Information” of BIOS Setup main menu. If a service repair is completed by replacing a new system board or a new BIOS ROM, then you are required to input the original system's model number and serial number into the new BIOS ROM.
1. Turn on your monitor. 2. Turn on the system unit. 3. When you see the IBM Aptiva logo, press F1 to enter Setup and display the Main Menu. If you have previously set a power-on password, you are prompted to type in the password after you press the F1 key.

The following table lists specific keys on the keyboard that will help you move through the Setup menus: Keys Function Down- or up-arrow key Use these arrow keys to highlight an option on the menu. (Press the Enter key to choose the option.) Left- or right-arrow key Use these arrow keys to make a selection and change an option's setting.
3. Press Esc to exit Setup. A dialog box appears confirming if you want to save the CMOS settings (in this case, the default settings that you reloaded). 4. Use the left-arrow key to select Yes, then press Enter to save the changes in CMOS.
Disk Drives If you install a new diskette, hard disk, or CD/DVD-ROM drive, BIOS auto- detects the presence of these devices. Enter Setup to identify or verify the type of drive installed in the computer. If you want to change any drive setting, select Disk Drives from the main menu. The Disk Drives menu appears showing the diskette drive and IDE drive parameters.

on the system board and is set as the slave device. Normally, a preinstalled CD/DVD-ROM drive is connected here. NOTE: The CD/DVD-ROM drive information does not appear among these options. Click on the System Information option in the Setup main menu to verify the presence of a CD/DVD-ROM drive.
Hard Disk 32-bit Access Setting this parameter to Enabled improves system performance by allowing the use of the 32-bit hard disk access. This enhanced IDE feature only works under Windows 3.x, OS/2, Windows 95, Windows 98, and Novell NetWare. If your software does not support this function, set this parameter to Disabled.
Onboard USB This parameter allows you to enable or disable the Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller. The default setting is Enabled. USB Keyboard Mode This parameter enables or disables the use of a USB keyboard outside of Windows. The default is Disabled. Onboard PCI Audio Chip This parameter enables or disables the onboard audio controller chipset.
Silent Boot This parameter enables or disables the silent boot function. When set to Enabled, which is the default, BIOS is in graphical mode and displays the IBM logo while booting. If an error occurs while booting, the system automatically switches to text mode.
If you change the time, enter the time in 24-hour format (hours, minutes, seconds). For example: - 12 midnight is 00:00:00 - 12 noon is 12:00:00 - 1 p.m. is 13:00:00 When setting date and time, press the up- or down- arrow key to highlight a field.

BIOS version and system memory tested. For Aptiva, the F9 key will only work after exiting BIOS Setup. 3. If an error is detected during POST, the IBM logo screen will automatically switch to the text-based screen and display the error message or code with a beep.
Diagnostic Diskette WARNING: This manual is intended to test the IBM Aptiva 2170/2171/2172 machine type only. Testing devices which are not included with the original product package, including other IBM products, prototype cards, or modifying hardware settings may give false errors and invalid system responses.
“Startup Options”, set the first priority of boot sequence to CD-ROM. Save and exit from BIOS Setup. 3. When screen displays IBM Recovery Program menu, choose “Run Diagnostics” to execute diagnostic program. 4. Follow the instructions on the screen to operate the diagnostics program.

Removals and Replacements ( Machine Type 2170 and 2171) BEFORE REMOVING ANY FRU, POWER-OFF THE COMPUTER, UNPLUG ALL POWER CORDS FROM ELECTRICAL OUTLETS, THEN DISCONNECT ANY INTERCONNECTING CABLES. ATTENTION: The system board, processors, adapter cards, DIMMs, and upgrade processors can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Use an electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap to establish personal grounding.
Handling ESD-Sensitive Parts Many electronic parts are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent damage when working with ESD-sensitive parts, observe the following instructions. Do these in addition to taking all the usual precautions, such as switching off the power and unplugging the power cord. •...
Identifying the Parts of the System Unit This computer system has four bays that can hold 5.25-inch and 3.5-inch drives. Additional devices can be installed in the empty bays. Diskette drives in this unit use the standard diskette advanced technology (AT) interface.
