Technician Notes
Only technicians authorized by NEC Computers International BV 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.

returned to their proper positions. Check that no tools or any loose parts have been left inside the
chassis. Check that everything is properly installed and tightened.
