FRU Removals and Replacements
This section contains information about removals and
replacements.
Do not damage any parts. Only certified and trained
personnel should service the computer.
The arrows in this section show the direction of move-
ment to remove a FRU, or to turn a screw to release
the FRU. The arrows are marked in numeric order, in
square callout, to show the correct sequence of
removal.
When other FRUs must be removed before the failing
FRU is removed, they are listed at the top of the
page.
To replace a FRU, reverse the removal procedure
and follow any notes that pertain to replacement.
When replacing a FRU, use the correct screw size, as
shown in the procedures.

tening for rattling sounds. Metallic parts or metal
flakes can cause electrical short circuits.
