iv Hardware Replacement Guide

Overview

This guide is intended to be used by customers who are replacing Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) as well as trained service personnel who are replacing Field Replaceable Units (FRUs). In this guide, CRUs and FRUs will often be referred to as parts.

This guide does not include procedures for all parts. It is expected that cables, switches, and certain mechanical parts can be replaced by trained service personnel without the need for step-by-step procedures.

Note: Use only the parts provided by IBM.

This guide contains procedures for replacing the following parts:

v Power supply v System board v Microprocessor v Memory modules v PCI adapter v Hard disk drive v Optical drive v Diskette drive v Keyboard v Mouse v Internal speaker

Safety information for replacing CRUs

Do not open your computer or attempt any repair before reading the “Important safety information” in the Quick Reference that was included with your computer. If you no longer have this copy of the Quick Reference, you can obtain one online from the World Wide We b at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.

Safety information for replacing FRUs

Do not attempt any repair before reading the “Important safety information” in the Hardware Maintenance Manual (HMM) for the computer. You can find the HMM on the World Wide Web at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.

Additional information resources

If you have Internet access, the most up-to-date information for your computer is available from the World Wide Web.

You can find the following information:

v CRU removal and installation instructions v Publications v Troubleshooting information v Parts information v Downloads and drivers v Links to other useful sources of information

To access this information, point your browser to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.

Tools required

To replace some parts in your computer, you might need a flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver. Additional tools might be needed for certain parts.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components.

When you are replacing a part, do not open the static-protective package containing the new part until the defective part has been removed from the computer and you are ready to install the new part.

When you handle parts and other computer components, take these precautions to avoid static-electricity damage:

v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static-electricity to build up around

you.

v Always handle parts and other computer components carefully. Handle

adapters, memory modules, system boards, and microprocessors by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.

v Prevent others from touching the parts and other computer components.

v Before you replace a new part, touch the static-protective package containing the

part to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body.

v When possible, remove the new part from the static-protective packaging, and

install it directly in the computer without setting the part down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective package that the part came in on a smooth, level surface and place the part on it.

v Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.

Removing the cover

Important

Turn off the computer and wait 3 to 5 minutes to let the computer cool before removing the computer cover.

1. Remove any media (diskettes, CDs, or tapes) from the drives, shut down your

operating system, and turn off all attached devices.

2. Unplug all power cords from electrical outlets.

3. Disconnect all cables attached to the computer. This includes power cords,

input/output (I/O) cables, and any other cables that are connected to the computer. See “Locating connectors on the front of the computer” on page 2 and “Locating connectors on the rear of the computer” on page 3.

4. Remove any locking devices such as a padlock or Kensington lock that secure

the computer cover.

5. Press the cover-release button on the right side cover, slide the cover to the

rear, and remove.
