The
Easy
Way
to Start
Let's take a look
at
the easiest way
to
use Guide to Operations.
The first thing
you
should notice
is
the
six external tabs labeled:
INTRO, SETUP, OPERATIONS,
PDPs,
OPTIONS, and
RELOCATE. These are the major sections and
the
tabs will help
you
get
to
the
information
you
need quickly.
INTRO:
This section will highlight the way
your
IBM
Personal
Computer can be arranged and show
you
some
of
the many
options available to
you
in
both
hardware and software.
SETUP: This
part
of
the Guide helps
you
cable and test
your
system
to
see
that
it's working Okay.
OPERATIONS: Let's call this
the
learning and reference section.
Behind the section tab
you
will find a
content
page, and on the
right side
of
the page
you
will notice
what
we call bleeder tabs.
The bleeder tabs help
you
select what information
you
want
within
a"
section. The bleeder tabs
that
have lots
of
pages also have
their own detailed
content
pages (for example, Printer, DOS).
If
you're
new
to
computers, this section
is
written in easy-to-
understand language, and we think you'll find
it
helpful
to
spend a
little time reading it and trying
out
a few
of
the examples
on
your
IBM
Personal Computer.
If
you
are experienced
at
using
computers, this section
may
be used
for
a handy reference.
PDPs: Problem Determination Procedures.
If
you
have any type
of
problem with
your
IBM
Personal Computer, this
is
the section
you
will
go
to.
To
help
you
solve
your
problems most effectively,
all notes, steps, and information should be read carefully. This
section can also
be
used to thoroughly check
out
your
system.
OPTIONS: This
is
the do-it-yourself section. The installation
instructions
you
receive when
you
purchase an
option
should be
inserted behind the proper bleeder tab. This part
of
Guide to
Operations
can contain a few pages
or
many pages depending
on
how many options
you
have.
RELOCATE: Whenever
you
need
to
move
your
IBM
Personal
Computer, this section should be reviewed.
It
contains a few hints
on
how
to
move
your
system safely and
without
damage.
