4Why do we have environmentally labeled computers?In many countries, environmental labeling has become an established method for encouraging theadaptation of goods and services to the environment. With the growing manufacture and usage ofelectronic equipment throughout the world, there is a recognized concern for the materials andsubstances used by electronic products with regards to their eventual recycling and disposal. By properselection of these materials and substances, the impact on the environment can be minimized.There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that areimportant from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Electronicequipment in offices is often left running continuously, resulting in unnecessary consumption of largeamounts of energy and additional power generation. From the standpoint of carbon emissions alone, it is vital to save energy.What does labeling involve?This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for international andenvironmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme was developed as a joint effort bythe TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen(The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish NationalEnergy Administration)Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics,emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.EnergyEnergy-saving mode after a certain time – beneficial both for the user and the environmentElectrical safetyEmissionsElectromagnetic fieldsNoise emissionsEcologyThe product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer must have a certifiedenvironmental management system such as EMAS or ISO 14 000Restrictions onchlorinated and brominated flame retardants and polymersheavy metals such as cadmium, mercury and lead.The requirements included in this label have been developed by TCO Development in co-operationwith scientists, experts, users as well as manufacturers all over the world. Since the end of the 1980sTCO has been involved in influencing the development of IT equipment in a more user-friendlydirection. Our labeling system started with displays in 1992 and is now requested by users and IT-manufacturers all over the world.For more information, please visitwww.tcodevelopment.comCongratulations!You have just purchased a TCO’99 approved and labeled product! Your choice hasprovided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has alsocontributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the furtherdevelopment of environmentally adapted electronics products.
5APPENDIXEnvironmental criteria impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated andchlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, and other materials. The productmust be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy whichmust be adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational policy.Energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period ofinactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of timeto reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.Labeled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction ofelectric and magnetic fields as well as physical and visual ergonomics.Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:TCO DevelopmentSE-114 94 STOCKHOLM, SwedenFax: +46 8 782 92 07E-mail (Internet): development@tco.seCurrent information regarding TCO’99 approved and labeled products may also be obtained via theInternet, using the address: http://www.tcodevelopment.com/Environmental requirementsFlame retardantsFlame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Theirpurpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computercasing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chlorine,and those flame retardants are chemically related to PCBs. Both the flame retardants containingbromine or chlorine and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to health effects, including reproductivedamage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes when not disposedof in accordance with strict standards for disposal.The relevant TCO’99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must notcontain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed inthe printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.Cadmium**Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computerdisplays.The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screensand the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium._______________________________________________________________________________*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.
6Mercury**Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. The relevant TCO’99 requirement statesthat batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of theelectrical or electronics components associated with the labeled unit. There is however one exception.Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as there today isno commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury freealternative is available.CFCs (freons)The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during themanufacture and assembly of the product or in its packaging. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used forwashing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in thestratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light. This restriction assures thatfurther damage to the ozone layer form this type of equipment will be eliminated.Lead**Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. The relevant TCO’99requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed._______________________________________________________________________________**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.ENERGY STAR®Compliances SectionCongratulations!You have just purchased an ENERGY STAR®qualified product.What is an ENERGY STAR®qualified product?The ENERGY STAR®program is a voluntary partnership between the U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency / Dept. of Energy and Partners to reduce pollution and save energy.

ENGLISH3Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and property damage.Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the IBM Support Center. Useonly an IBM authorized service provider who is approved to repair your particular product. Note: Some parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. These parts are referred to as CustomerReplaceable Units, or CRUs. IBM expressly identifies CRUs as such, and provides documentation withinstructions when it is appropriate for customers to replace those parts. You must closely follow allinstructions when performing such replacements. Always make sure that the power is turned off and thatthe product is unplugged from any power source before you attempt the replacement. If you have anyquestions or concerns, contact the IBM Support Center.Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product manufacturer. Never wrap a power cord around the power adapter or other object. Doing so can stress the cord in waysthat can cause the cord to fray, crack or crimp. This can present a safety hazard.Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by objects. Protect the cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your cord or power adapternear sinks, tubs, toilets, or on floors that are cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause a shortcircuit, particularly if the cord or power adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids can also causegradual corrosion of the power cord terminals and/or the connector terminals on the adapter which caneventually result in overheating. Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and ensure that all power cordconnectors are securely and completely plugged into receptacles. Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins and/or shows signs ofoverheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input or anywhere on the power adapter.Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show signs of corrosion oroverheating or where the power cord appears to have been damaged in any way.Ensure that extension cords, surge protectors, uninterruptible power supplies, and power strips that youuse are rated to handle the electrical requirements of the product. Never overload these devices. If powerstrips are used, the load should not exceed the power strip input rating. Consult an electrician for moreinformation if you have questions about power loads, power requirements, and input ratings.If a receptacle (power outlet) that you intend to use with your computer equipment appears to be damagedor corroded, do not use the outlet until it is replaced by a qualified electrician.Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the manufacturer to obtain a replacement.Some products are equipped with a three-pronged plug. This plug fits only into a grounded electricaloutlet. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat this safety feature by trying to insert it into a non-groundedoutlet. If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician for an approved outlet adapter orto replace the outlet with one that enables this safety feature. Never overload an electrical outlet. Theoverall system load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating. Consult an electrician formore information if you have questions about power loads and branch circuit ratings.
4Be sure that the power outlet you are using is properly wired, easily accessible, and located close to theequipment. Do not fully extend power cords in a way that will stress the cords. Connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet carefullyAll IBM personal computers contain a non-rechargeable coin cell battery to provide power to the systemclock. In addition many mobile products such as ThinkPad notebook PCs utilize a rechargeable batterypack to provide system power when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by IBM for use with your producthave been tested for compatibility and should only be replaced with IBM approved parts. Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate batteries or shortcircuit the metal contacts. Do not expose the battery to water or other liquids. Only recharge the batterypack strictly according to instructions included in the product documentation.Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which can cause gasses or flame to"vent" from the battery pack or coin cell. If your battery is damaged, or if you notice any discharge fromyour battery or the buildup of foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and obtain areplacement from the battery manufacturer.Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time. For some rechargeable batteries(particularly Lithium Ion batteries), leaving a battery unused in a discharged state could increase the riskof a battery short circuit, which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose a safety hazard. Do not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or store these batteries in a dischargedstate.Computers generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging. Notebook PCs can generate asignificant amount of heat due to their compact size. Always follow these basic precautions: • Do not leave the base of your computer in contact with your lap or any part of your body for anextended period when the computer is functioning or when the battery is charging. Your computerproduces some heat during normal operation. Extended contact with the body could cause discomfortor, potentially, a skin burn. • Do not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable materials or in explosiveenvironments. • Ventilation slots, fans and/or heat sinks are provided with the product for safety, comfort, and reliableoperation. These features might inadvertently become blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,carpet, or other flexible surface. Never block, cover or disable these features.CD and DVD drives spin discs at a high speed. If a CD or DVD is cracked or otherwise physically damaged,it is possible for the disc to break apart or even shatter when the CD drive is in use. To protect againstpossible injury due to this situation, and to reduce the risk of damage to your machine, do the following: • Always store CD/DVD discs in their original packaging • Always store CD/DVD discs out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat sources • Remove CD/DVD discs from the computer when not in use • Do not bend or flex CD/DVD discs, or force them into the computer or their packaging • Check CD/DVD discs for cracks before each use. Do not use cracked or damaged discs
