Technician Notes
Only technicians authorized by NEC Computers International B.V. should attempt to repair this
equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow only subassembly/module
level repair. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, no one should
attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board.
Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. Any indication of component replacement or printed wiring
board modifications may void any warranty or exchange allowances.

When disassembling the system unit, follow these general rules:
