Important Notes
Only certified trained personnel should service
the computer.
Read the entire FRU service procedures before
replacing any FRUs.
Use new nylon-coated screws when you replace
FRUs.
Be extremely careful during write operations such
as copying, saving, or formatting. Drives in the
computer that you are servicing might have been
rearranged or the drive startup sequence might have
been altered. If you select an incorrect drive, data or
programs might be overwritten.
Replace FRUs only for the correct model. When
you replace a FRU, make sure the model of the
machine and FRU part number are correct by refer-
ring to the FRU parts list.
A FRU should not be replaced because of a
single, unreproducible failure. Single failures can
occur for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do
with a hardware defect, such as: cosmic radiation,
electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU
replacement should be considered only when a recur-
ring problem exists. If this is suspected, clear the
error log and run the test again. Do not replace any
FRUs if log errors do not reappear.
Be careful not to replace a non-defective FRU.

5. Failure symptoms, error codes appearing on the

6. Procedure index and page number in which the failing
FRU was detected

8. Machine type, model number and serial number
