Important notices for RAID setting:
Before you replace the system board, make sure that you read Chapter 5 “Installing and conguring RAID” on page
53, and have the necessary information.

Important notices for handling the system board:
When handling the system board, bear the following in mind.
• The system board has an accelerometer, which can be broken by applying several thousands of G-forces.
Note: Dropping a system board from a height of as little as 6 inches so that it falls at on a hard bench can subject
the accelerometer to as much as 6,000 G's of shock.
• Be careful not to drop the system board on a bench top that has a hard surface, such as metal, wood, or composite.
• If a system board is dropped, you must test it, using PC-Doctor for DOS, to make sure that the HDD Active
Protection still functions (see below).
Note: If the test shows that HDD Active Protection is not functioning, be sure to document the drop in any reject
report, and replace the system board.
• Avoid rough handling of any kind.
• At every point in the process, be sure not to drop or stack the system board.
• If you put a system board down, be sure to put it only on a padded surface such as an ESD mat or conductive
corrugated material.
After replacing the system board, run PC-Doctor for DOS to make sure that HDD Active Protection still functions. The
procedure is as follows:
1. Place the computer on a horizontal surface.
2. Run Diagnostics ➙ ThinkPad Devices ➙ HDD Active Protection Test.
Attention: Do not apply physical shock to the computer while the test is running.
