• If you have not installed your IBM Portable
Personal Computer, go to Section 1,
"Introduction/Installation" and install your system
unit to ensure that it is working properly. After you
have completed your setup you will be told to install
your options.
• Provide a flat work surface large enough to hold the
system unit and all options you wish to install.
Make sure the work area is close to a properly
grounded electrical outlet that has enough
receptacles to plug in your system unit and the
options you are about to install that require their
own power source.
• Two adapters are installed in the basic IBM
Portable Personal Computer: the 5-1/4 Inch
Diskette Drive Adapter and the Color/Graphics
Monitor Adapter. If these adapters are removed
during the installation of an option they must be
returned to the same expansion slot from which they
were removed.
• The IBM Portable Personal Computer has five
expansion slots available for installation of options.
Expansion slot 2 is long enough to fit any option.
Expansion slots 4 and 5 can fit options that have an
overall length ofless than 127-mm (5-in.). Expansion
slots 6 and 7 can fit options that have an overall length
of less than 120-mm (4-3/4-in.).
