Top Products
• The MTM portion of the machine label is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model =“CTO” (Example:
1829-CTO). The PRODUCT ID portion of the machine label is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit CMV model
(Example: 1829-W15).
• The PEW record is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model =“CTO” (Example: 1829-CTO).
• eSupport will show both the CTO and CMV machine type models (Example: 1829-CTO and 1829-W15
will be found on the eSupport site.)
• The HMM will have the 4-digit MT and 3-digit CTO model only (Example: 1829-CTO). Again, CMVs are
custom models and are not found in the HMM.
General Announce Variant (GAV)
This is a standard model (xed conguration). GAVs are announced and offered to all customers. The MTM
portion of the machine label is a 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model =a “xed part number”, not
“CTO” (Example: 1829-F1U). Also, PEW, eSupport, and the HMM will list these products under the same
xed model number.
FRU identication for CTO, CMV, and GAV products
There are three information resources to identify which FRUs are used to support CTO, CMV, and GAV
products. These sources are PEW, eSupport, and the HMM.
Using PEW
• PEW is the primary source for identifying FRU part numbers and FRU descriptions for the key commodities
for CTO, CMV and GAV products at a MT - serial number level. An example of key commodities are hard
disk drives, system boards, microprocessors, Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs), and memory.
• Remember, all CTO and CMV products are loaded in PEW under the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where
model = “CTO” (Example: 1829-CTO). GAVs are loaded in PEW under the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model,
where model = a “xed part number”, not “CTO” (Example: 1829-F1U).
• PEW can be accessed at the following Web site:
http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=LOOK-WARNTY.
Select Warranty lookup. Input the MT and the Serial number and the list of key commodities will be
returned in the PEW record under COMPONENT INFORMATION.
• Business Partners using Eclaim will access PEW when performing Entitlement Lookup. Business
Partners will enter Loc ID, MT and Serial, and the key commodities will be returned in the Eclaim record
under SYSTEM DETAILS.
• Authorized IBM Business Partners can access Eclaim at the following Web site: https://wca.eclaim.com.
Using eSupport
For Key Commodities (Examples - hard disk drive, system board, microprocessor, LCD, and memory)
• eSupport can be used to view the list of key commodities built in a particular machine serial (this is the
same record found in PEW).
• eSupport can be accessed at the following Web site: http://www.lenovo.com/support.
• To view the key commodities, click on PARTS INFORMATION, then PARTS LOOKUP. Type in the model
type and serial number. The key commodities will be returned in the eSupport record under PARTS
SHIPPED WITH YOUR SYSTEM.
For the Remaining FRUs (the complete list of FRUs at the MT Model level)
• eSupport can be used to view the complete list of FRUs for a machine type and model.
• To view the complete list of FRUs, type in the machine type and model (Example: 1829-CTO) under
QUICK PATH. Under “View by Document Type” select PARTS INFORMATION. Under “Filter by Category”
