For FRU parts information, see the Appendix, " Model/Monitor Configurations and FRU Part Numbers".

VESA Local Bus Note:
The VESA local bus connector generally conforms to the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) VL-Bus Specification 2.0 (32 bit). Local bus adapter cards vary in degree of adherence to this standard. Therefore, IBM cannot guarantee that all available local bus option cards will perform according to manufacturer's claims.

Security:
Power-on password. See ¿Power-On Password Reset—.

System Boards:
Two system boards are available: Type I-1 and Type I-2. See " System Board Layout - Type I-1 and Type I-2. See "System Board Layout - Type I-2" for system board jumper and connector locations.
