instructions given below, call the IBM(*) Technical
Support Center. Their telephone number is in your
Service and Support brochure found in the OS/2(*)

to modify the settings for the software on your
Aptiva.
Procedure 1 Determine the model number of
your Aptiva

the Aptiva Applications Programs
Update diskette
Procedure 5 Set Up Rapid Resume
NOTE: If you have already installed OS/2 Warp, go
directly to Procedure 4.
PROCEDURE 1 - DETERMINING THE MODEL NUMBER OF YOUR
APTIVA
You need to follow several procedures in this update
booklet, depending on the model number of your
Aptiva. To determine the model of your Aptiva, look
inside the fold-down door or the sliding panel on the
front of your system unit. Locate the model number
of your computer.
