Important information about replacing RoHS compliant FRUs
RoHS, The Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive
(2002/95/EC) is a European Union legal requirement affecting the global electronics industry. RoHS
requirements must be implemented on Lenovo products placed on the market and sold in the
European Union after June 2006. Products on the market before June 2006 are not required to
have RoHS compliant parts. If the parts are not compliant originally, replacement parts can also
be noncompliant, but in all cases, if the parts are compliant, the replacement parts must also be
compliant.
Note: RoHS and non-RoHS FRU part numbers with the same t and function are identied with unique
FRU part numbers.
Lenovo plans to transition to RoHS compliance well before the implementation date and expects its suppliers
to be ready to support Lenovo's requirements and schedule in the EU. Products sold in 2005 will contain
some RoHS compliant FRUs. The following statement pertains to these products and any product Lenovo
produces containing RoHS compliant parts.
RoHS compliant ThinkServer RS210 parts have unique FRU part numbers. Before or after June, 2006, failed
RoHS compliant parts must always be replaced using RoHS compliant FRUs, so only the FRUs identied as
compliant in the system Hardware Maintenance Manual or direct substitutions for those FRUs can be used.
