o  Introducing Your IBM ThinkPad Power Series 850 (NT only)
 
Essentials! is a Windows application which contains a customer
registration program, a catalog of supported options and adapters and
an overview of the IBM HelpWare(R) support coverage.
 
Power, Performance, Potential is a multimedia presentation which uses
three dimensional audio and artwork-quality graphics to introduce the
user to key Power Series technology and marketing messages. Since
this application consumes a significant amount of hardfile space, IBM
has also provided a "Remove PPP" utility which allows the user to
reclaim this space for other applications.
 
For users who also purchase a modem with their Power Series system, a
personalized version of the CompuServe WinCIM application is provided
for quick and easy access to the CompuServe Power Series forum.
Power Series product announcements, updates of system software,
device drivers and other important information will be provided on

and large corporate users. This software includes information about
obtaining a complementary CompuServe subscription worth one month of
basic services and a $15 usage credit.
 
In an effort to reduce desktop clutter and leverage powerful
multimedia presentation tools within Windows NT, IBM has provided a
CD-ROM- based system manual.  Introducing Your IBM ThinkPad Power
Series 850 provides an audio/video overview of the features of the
new IBM ThinkPad Power Series 850 systems.
 
If a user elects to remove these applications from the hardfile or in
the event of a hardfile failure, IBM has also provided additional
software on the Program Pack to re-create the original preload image
on the hardfile.

   -  A power-on password (POP) helps protect the system from
      unauthorized use.  If a POP is set, the password prompt
      appears:
 
      -- Each time the system is turned on
      -- When the system is returned to normal operation from Suspend
         mode if implemented by the operating system
 
   -  A supervisor password provides a higher level of security than
      the POP.  The supervisor password protects the system functions
      from being used by unauthorized users and protects the hardware
      configuration from unauthorized modification.  If the
      supervisor password has been set, the system will prompt the
      user to enter a password when trying to access configuration or
      startup sequence sub-menus of Easy-Setup.
 
o  The user can connect the hook on the locking mechanism to a leash
   with a user-selected padlock and chain or cable.
 
o  The system is Vital Product Data (VPD) enabled.  VPD is a software
   system identification method.
 
World Trade Considerations:  The IBM ThinkPad Power Series 850 system
supports an icon-based interface that eliminates the need for
National Language translation.  To configure the system, you select
icons from an easily understandable menu.
 
National Language Support is also dependent on the operating system
used.  Refer to the operating system manuals to determine support for
a particular country.
 
User management is responsible for evaluation, selection, and
implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and
appropriate controls in application systems and communications
facilities.
