iv Hardware Replacement Guide
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:
vPower supply
vSystem board
vMicroprocessor
vMemory modules
vOptional PCI adapter
vHard disk drive
vOptical drive
vDiskette drive
vKeyboard
vMouse
vInternal speaker
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 Web at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support.
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.
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:
vCRU removal and installation instructions
vPublications
vTroubleshooting information
vParts information
vDownloads and drivers
vLinks to other useful sources of information
To access this information, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support.

To replace some parts in your computer, you will need a flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver. Additional tools might be needed for certain parts.
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:
vLimit your movement. Movement can cause static-electricity to build up around you.
vAlways handle parts and other computer components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules, system boards, and microprocessors by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.
vPrevent others from touching the parts and other computer components.
vBefore 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.
vWhen 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.
vDo not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.

Attention:
Do not remove the computer cover or attempt any repair before reading the “Important safety information” in the Quick Reference that was included with your computer or in the Hardware Maintenance Manual (HMM) for the computer. To obtain copies of the Quick Reference or HMM, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support.

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 controls and connectors on the front of the computer” on page 2 and “Locating connectors on the rear of the computer” on page 3.

6.Some models have an optional hard disk drive mounting bracket 1 installed. When this bracket is installed, access to some of the CRUs or FRUs inside the chassis is restricted.
Note: There appears to be two drive bays in the bracket. However, due to thermal restrictions, only the bay 2 at the rear of the chassis can be used to install a hard disk drive.
See “Pivoting or removing the optional hard disk drive mounting bracket” on page 7.
To replace the computer cover, see “Completing the installation” on page 33.
