ADVANCED CONFIGURATION AND POWER INTERFACE (ACPI) COMPLIANT
The ThinkPad i Series 1400 is ACPI ready. ACPI is not installed, but the system hardware and BIOS support ACPI. While ACPI shows a great deal of promise for the future, numerous problems affect the operation of of ACPI on ThinkPad and other notebook systems. Therefore, the systems come with Windows 98 running in APM mode. When the remaining issues with ACPI are resolved, an upgrade package will be made available on the IBM Web site. The upgrade package will contain operating systems updates, device driver updates, and BIOS updates as necessary to make ACPI work reliably.
YEAR 2000
When used in accordance with its associated documentation, it is capable of correctly processing, providing, and/or receiving date data within and between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, provided that all products (for example, hardware, software, and firmware) used with the product properly exchange accurate date data with it.
This statement of Year 2000 Ready status applies only to the IBM hardware content and does not apply to any software (system software or application software) content that may be pre-installed or otherwise provided by IBM with the purchase of the IBM hardware product. For non-IBM products, whether or not obtained from IBM, please consult directly with the third party product developer for information about how its products will handle the Year 2000 transition. In some cases IBM may pass along information that third parties have provided us about the status of their products. However, IBM is not in a position to independently verify, or accept any responsibility for, the accuracy or completeness of such information.
This computer system maintains the date and time using an internal battery backed-up hardware clock. Consistent with PC industry standards, the hardware clock relies on timer functions in POST/BIOS to update the first two digits of the year, called the century indicator (i.e., from "19" to "20"). Operating systems use the hardware clock to set their own date and time services each time the system is booted. After bootup, some operating systems de-activate some timer functions in BIOS and rely on their own date and time functions during use.
The POST/BIOS will ensure that the hardware clock century indicator is correctly updated to "20" the first time the system is booted up after
the year 2000 occurs. If the system unit is powered "on" during the year 2000 transition, the characteristics of the operating system will determine whether the hardware clock century indicator is immediately updated during use. If the operating system does not immediately update the hardware clock century indicator, the user may accomplish this by rebooting the system. A delay in updating the hardware clock century indicator should not affect application programs if, consistent with good programming practice, they obtain date and time information from a Year 2000 Ready operating system, or use the BIOS GET DATE function call (1A) and do not directly access the hardware clock.
