WARNING! Only authorized technicians trained by HP should repair this equipment. All
troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow repair at only the subassembly or
module level. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, do not attempt
to make repairs at the component level or modify any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can
create a safety hazard. Any indication of component replacement or printed wiring board
modification may void any warranty or exchange allowances.
