Lenovo 8174 Computer Accessories User Manual


 
So, 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.
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. 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 ThinkCentre 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 identified as compliant in the system HMM or
direct substitutions for those FRUs can be used.
Products marketed before June 2006 Products marketed after June 2006
