Strategy for replacing FRUs
Before replacing parts:
Make sure that all software xes, drivers, and UEFI BIOS downloads are installed before replacing any
FRUs listed in this manual.
After a system board is replaced, ensure that the latest UEFI BIOS is loaded to the system board before
completing the service action.
To download software xes, drivers, and UEFI BIOS, do as follows:
1. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support.
2. Enter the product number of the computer or press Auto-detect button on the screen.
3. Select Downloads and drivers.
4. Follow the directions on the screen and install the necessary software.
Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary expense for replacing and servicing FRUs:
If you are instructed to replace a FRU but the replacement does not correct the problem, reinstall
the original FRU before you continue.
Some computers have both a processor board and a system board. If you are instructed to replace either
the processor board or the system board, and replacing one of them does not correct the problem,
reinstall that board, and then replace the other one.
