FRU Replacement Strategy

Before Replacing Parts

Ensure that all diskette fixes are installed prior to replacing any FRUs listed in this manual.

Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary FRU replacement and service expense:

 If you are instructed to replace a FRU and that

does not correct the problem, reinstall the original FRU before you continue.

 Some computers have both a processor board and a

system board. If you are instructed to replace either the processor board or the system board, and the first board that you replaced does not correct the problem, reinstall the original board, then replace the other (processor or system) board.

 If an adapter or device consists of more than one

FRU, an error code may be caused by any of the FRUs. Before replacing the adapter or device, remove the FRUs, one by one, to see if the symptoms change. Replace only the FRU that changed the symptoms.

 Copyright IBM Corp. 1997

Attention

A customized setup configuration (other than default settings) may exist on the computer you are servicing. Running Automatic Configuration may alter those settings. Note the current configuration settings (using the View Configuration option) and verify that the settings are in place when service is complete.

Hard Disk Drive Replacement Strategy:

Always try to run a low-level format before replacing a hard disk drive.

Attention

The drive startup sequence in the computer you are servicing might have been changed. Be extremely careful during write operations such as copying, saving, or formatting. Data or programs can be overwritten if you select an incorrect drive.

How to Use Error Messages

Use the error codes displayed on the screen to diagnose failures. If more than one error code is displayed, begin the diagnosis with the first error code. The cause of the first error code can result in false error codes being displayed. If no error code is displayed, see if the error symptom is listed in the Symptom-to-FRU Index for the computer you are servicing.

How to Read POST Error Messages

POST error messages are displayed on the screen as three, four, five, or eight digits. The error messages that can be displayed as shorter POST messages are highlighted in this index. Some digits will represent different information for SCSI errors versus non-SCSI errors.

The following example shows which digits display the shorter POST error messages and also defines the SCSI information in an eight-digit error message.

Shorter POST Messages

┌────┬────┬────┬────┐

│ │ │ │ │ ┌────┬────┬────┬────┬────┬────┬────┬────┐ │ ð│ ð│ ð│ ð│ ð│ ð│ ð│ ð│ └────┴────┴────┴────┴────┴────┴────┴────┘

│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │

Reserved ││││││Size (SCSI)

└────┴────┘ │ │ Slot Number (SCSI)

ID (SCSI)

All SCSI devices are set to a different SCSI ID. Duplicate SCSI ID settings can generate a false error message. Use the SCSI ID to determine whether the error message is coming from an internal or an external device.

Safety Information

The following section contains the safety information that you need to be familiar with before servicing an IBM mobile computer.

General Safety

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

 Observe good housekeeping in the area of the

machines during and after maintenance.

 When lifting any heavy object:

1. Ensure you can stand safely without slipping.

2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.

3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to lift.

4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes the strain from the muscles in your back.

objects that weigh more than 16 kg (35 lb) or objects that you think are too heavy for you.

 Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the

customer, or that makes the equipment unsafe.

 Before you start the machine, ensure that other

service representatives and the customer's personnel are not in a hazardous position.

 Place removed covers and other parts in a safe

place, away from all personnel, while you are servicing the machine.

 Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that

other people will not trip over it.

 Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the

moving parts of a machine. Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.

 Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing

or fasten it with a nonconductive clip, approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.

 Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses,

or metal fasteners for your clothing. Attention: Metal objects are good electrical

conductors.

 Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering,

drilling soldering, cutting wire, attaching springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.

 After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards,

labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety device that is worn or defective.

 Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the

machine to the customer.

Do not attempt to lift any

Introduction

Electrical Safety

Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.

Important

Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles covered with a soft material that does not insulate you when working with live electrical currents.

Many customers have, near their equipment, rubber floor mats that contain small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock.

 Find the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch,

disconnecting switch, or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then operate the switch or unplug the power cord quickly.

 Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or

near equipment that has hazardous voltages.

 Disconnect all power before:

– Performing a mechanical inspection – Working near power supplies – Removing or installing main units

 Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the

power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the customer to power-off the wall box that supplies power to the machine and to lock the wall box in the off position.

 If you need to work on a machine that has

electrical circuits, observe the following precautions:

– Ensure that another person, familiar with the

power-off controls, is near you. Attention: Another person must be there to

switch off the power, if necessary.

– Use only one hand when working with

powered-on electrical equipment; keep the other hand in your pocket or behind your back.

Attention: There must be a complete circuit to cause electrical shock. By observing the above rule, you may prevent a current from passing through your body.

– When using testers, set the controls correctly

and use the approved probe leads and accessories for that tester.

– Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally,

if necessary) to insulate you from grounds such as metal floor strips and machine frames.

Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages; these instructions are in the safety sections of maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high voltages.

exposed

12 IBM ThinkPad 560X (2640-60x, 70x) HMM

 Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand

tools for safe operational condition.

 Do not use worn or broken tools and testers. 

Never assume

from a circuit. First, powered-off.

 Always look carefully for possible hazards in your

work area. Examples of these hazards are moist floors, nongrounded power extension cables, power surges, and missing safety grounds.

 Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective

surface of a plastic dental mirror. The surface is conductive; such touching can cause personal injury and machine damage.

 Do not service the following parts

when they are removed from their normal operating places in a machine:

– Power supply units

– Pumps

– Blowers and fans

– Motor generators and similar units. (This practice ensures correct

grounding of the units.)

 If an electrical accident occurs:

– Use caution; do not become a victim

yourself.

– Switch off power. – Send another person to get medical aid.

Safety Inspection Guide

The intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potentially unsafe conditions on these products. Each machine, as it was designed and built, had required safety items installed to protect users and service personnel from injury. This guide addresses only those items. However, good judgment should be used to identify potential safety hazards due to attachment of non-IBM features or options not covered by this inspection guide.

If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine how serious the apparent hazard could be and whether you can continue without first correcting the problem.

Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they present:

 Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary

voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal electrical shock).

 Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or

bulging capacitor

 Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing

The guide consists of a series of steps presented in a checklist. Begin the checks with the power off, and the power cord disconnected.

Checklist:

1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or sharp edges).

2. Power-off the computer. Disconnect the power cord.

3. Check the power cord for:

a. A third-wire ground connector in good condition.

Use a meter to measure third-wire ground continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external ground pin and frame ground.

b. The power cord should be the appropriate type

as specified in the parts listings.

c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.

4. Remove the cover.

5. Check for any obvious non-IBM alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety of any non-IBM alterations.

6. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water or other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.

7. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.

8. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been removed or tampered with.

Handling Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive Devices

Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (ICs) should be considered sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between objects. Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the machine, the part, the work mat, and the person handling the part are all at the same charge.

Notes

1. Use product-specific ESD procedures when they

exceed the requirements noted here.

2. Make sure that the ESD protective devices you

use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effective.

When handling ESD-sensitive parts:

 Keep the parts in protective packages until they are

inserted into the product.

 Avoid contact with other people.  Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to

eliminate static on your body.

 Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most

clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when you are wearing a wrist strap.

 Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide

a static-free work surface. The mat is especially useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices.

 Select a grounding system, such as those listed

below, to provide protection that meets the specific service requirement.

Note

The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect against ESD damage.

– Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground,

ground braid, or green-wire ground.

– Use an ESD common ground or reference point

when working on a double-insulated or battery-operated system. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these systems.

– Use the round ground-prong of the AC plug on

AC-operated computers.

Grounding Requirements

Electrical grounding of the computer is required for operator safety and correct system function. Proper grounding of the electrical outlet can be verified by a certified electrician.

Read This First

Before you go to the checkout guide, be sure to read this section.

Important Notes

 Only certified trained personnel should

service the computer.

 Read the entire FRU removal and replacement

page before replacing any FRU.

 Use new nylon coated screws when you

replace FRUs.

 Be extremely careful during write operations

such as copying, saving, or formatting. Drives

in the computer that you are servicing might have been rearranged, or the drive startup sequence might have been altered. If you select an incorrect drive, data or programs might be overwritten.

 Replace FRUs only for the correct model.

When you replace a FRU, make sure the model of the machine and FRU part number are correct by referring to the FRU parts list.

 A FRU should not be replaced because of a

single, unreproducible failure. Single failures

can occur from a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware defect, such as cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement should be considered only when a recurring problem exists. If this is suspected, clear the error log and run the test again. Do not replace any FRUs if log errors do not reappear.

 Do not replace a nondefective FRU.

ThinkPad 560X (2640-60x, 70x) 21

Screw Tightening Information

Loose screws can cause reliability problems. The IBM ThinkPad 560X computer addresses this problem with nylon-coated screws. Tighten screws as follows:

Plastic to Plastic

Turn an additional 90 degrees after the screw head touches the surface of the plastic part.

Logic card to Plastic

Turn an additional 180 degrees after the screw head touches the surface of the logic card.

Torque Driver

If you have a torque driver, refer to the “Torque” instruction with each step.

22 IBM ThinkPad 560X (2640-60x, 70x) HMM

How to Use Error Messages: Use the error

codes displayed on the screen to diagnose failures. If more than one error code is displayed, begin the diagnosis with the first error code. Whatever caused the first error code can result in false error codes being displayed. If no error code is displayed, see if the error symptom is listed in the “Symptom-to-FRU Index” on page 36.

Port Replicator Problems: If you suspect a

problem with the port replicator, see “Port Replicator Checkout” on page 29.

How to Diagnose Multiple FRUs: When the

adapter or device has more than one FRU, the error code could be caused by any of them. Before replacing multiple FRUs, try removing or exchanging each FRU, one by one in the designated sequence, to see if the symptoms change.

What to Do First: The servicer must include the

following in the parts exchange form or parts return form that is attached to the returned FRU.

1. Name and phone number of servicer.

2. Date of service.

3. Date that the machine failed.

4. Date of purchase.

5. Failure symptoms, error codes appearing on the display, and beep symptoms.

6. Procedure index and page number in which the failing FRU was detected.

7. Failing FRU name and part number.

8. Machine type, model number, and serial number.

9. Customer's name and address.

Before checking problems with the computer, determine whether the damage is covered under the warranty by referring to the following.

72X8546) installed on the port replicator

 PC Card (PCMCIA) test with the PC test card

(P/N 35G4703) installed

 FDD-2 device test on the failing device with a

scratch diskette

10. If diagnostic errors appear, replace the port replicator or the diskette drive. If the problem remains after the replacement, replace the system board.

11. If power problem appears only when the port replicator is used, replace the port replicator.

If power shutdown occurs intermittently when using PC Card devices via a port replicator, suspect an over-current problem. Some PC Card devices use more power; if the maximum usage of each devices occurs simultaneously, the total current will exceed the limit, thereby causing a

ThinkPad 560X (2640-60x, 70x)

power shutdown. Isolate this problem by removing one of the devices, and use the computer under the same condition, and see whether a power shutdown occurs. Do this procedure for all devices to determine the cause.

Power Systems Checkout

To verify the symptom of the problem, power on the computer using each of the following power sources.

1. Remove the battery pack and diskette drive.

2. Connect the AC Adapter and check that power is supplied.

3. Disconnect the AC Adapter and install the charged battery pack; then check that power is supplied by the battery pack.

If you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate power supply checkout in the following list:

 “Checking the AC Adapter”  “Checking Operational Charging” on page 31  “Checking the Battery Pack” on page 31  “Checking the Backup Battery” on page 32

Checking the AC Adapter: You are here

because the computer fails only when the AC Adapter is used:

 If the power problem occurs only when the port

replicator is used, replace the port replicator.

 If the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the

power cord of the AC Adapter for correct continuity and installation.

 If the operational charge does not work, go to

“Checking Operational Charging” on page 31.

 Unplug the AC Adapter cable from the computer and

measure the output voltage at the plug of the AC Adapter cable. See the following figure:

(16 - 10 V)

Pin Voltage (V dc)

1 +14.5 to +17.0 2 Ground

If the voltage is not within range, replace the AC Adapter. If the voltage is within the range, do the following:

 Replace the DC/DC card.

30 IBM ThinkPad 560X (2640-60x, 70x) HMM

 Replace the system board.  If the problem is not corrected, go to “Undetermined

Problems” on page 46.

 If the voltage is not correct, go to the next step.

Note: An audible noise from the AC Adapter does not

always indicate a defect.

Checking Operational Charging: To check

operational charging, use a discharged battery pack or a battery pack that has less than 50% of the total power remaining when installed in the computer.

Perform operational charging. If the battery status indicator does not turn on, remove the battery pack and let it return to room temperature. Reinstall the battery pack. If the charge indicator still does not turn on, replace the battery pack.

If the charge indicator still does not turn on, replace the DC/DC card. Then reinstall the battery pack. If the reinstalled battery pack is not charged, go to the next section.

Checking the Battery Pack: Battery charging will

not start until the Fuel-Gauge shows that less than 95% of the total power remains; with this condition the battery pack will charge to 100% of its capacity. This protects the battery pack from being overcharged or having a shortened life.

Do the following:

1. Power off the computer.

2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery terminals 1 (+) and 4 (−). See the following figure:

3. If the voltage is less than +11.0 V dc, the battery pack has been discharged. Recharge the battery pack.

In this case, the battery pack is over-discharged. It takes at least 2 hours to recharge the battery pack even if the indicator does not turn on.

If the voltage is still less than +11.0 V dc after recharging, replace the battery.

ThinkPad 560X (2640-60x, 70x)

4. If the voltage is more than +11.0 V dc, measure the resistance between battery terminals 3 and 4. The resistance must be 4 to 30 K ohm.

If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery pack. If the resistance is correct, replace the DC/DC card. If the problem persists, replace the system board.

Checking the Backup Battery

1. Power off the computer and unplug the AC Adapter from the computer.

2. Turn the computer upside down.

3. Remove the DIMM cover and backup battery (see “1010 Backup Battery” on page 60).

4. Measure the voltage of the backup battery. See the following figure.

Wire Voltage (V dc)

Red +2.5 to +3.7 Black Ground

 If the voltage is correct, replace the system board.  If the voltage is not correct, replace the backup

battery.

 If the backup battery discharges quickly after

replacement, replace the system board.

Status Indicator Checkout

If an LED problem occurs, do the following:

1. Power off the computer.

2. Power on the computer.

3. All the LEDs in the indicator panel should turn on for a moment after the computer is powered on. Make sure they turn on.

If the problems persists, replace the system board.

System Board Checkout

The processing functions are performed by the system board. When a numeric code calls the system board as a FRU, use the following procedure to isolate the problem:

32 IBM ThinkPad 560X (2640-60x, 70x) HMM

See “Running the Diagnostics” on page 47 for details.

1. Run the system board test to verify the symptom. This test verifies the system board. If no error is detected, return to “Checkout Guide” on page 26.

2. If FRU code 10 appears, replace the system board.

3. Rerun the test to verify the fix.

If this procedure does not correct the problem, go to “Undetermined Problems” on page 46.

TrackPoint III Checkout

If the TrackPoint III does not work, check the configuration in the ThinkPad Configurations program. If the configuration of the TrackPoint III is disabled, select Enable to enable it.

If this does not correct the TrackPoint III problem, continue with the following.

The TrackPoint III adjusts the pointer sensor automatically. During this process, the pointer moves on the screen automatically for a short time. This self-acting pointer movement can occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the TrackPoint III pointer. You must readjust it if the temperature has exceeded its normal temperature range. This symptom does not indicate a hardware problem. No service actions are necessary if the pointer movement stops in a short period of time.

If a click button problem or the pointing stick problem occurs, do the following:

1. Go to the Easy-Setup screen.

2. Select an item with the pointing stick.

3. Press either the left or right click button.

4. Verify that both buttons work correctly.

If either the pointing stick or the click button do not work, do the following actions one at a time to correct the problem. Do not replace a nondefective FRU:

 Reseat the keyboard cables.  Replace the keyboard.  Replace the system board.

Power Management Features

Three power management modes are provided by the computer to reduce power consumption and prolong battery power.

Standby Mode: In standby mode the following

occurs:

 The LCD backlight turns off.  The hard disk drive motor stops.

Events that cause the computer to enter standby mode:

 Standby is requested by the Fn key (Fn+F3).

occurs, in addition to what occurs in standby mode:

 The LCD is powered off.  The hard disk drive is powered off.  The CPU stops.

Events that cause the computer to enter suspend mode:

 Suspend mode is requested by the Fn key (Fn+F4).  The LCD is closed.  The specified time has elapsed from the last

operation with the keyboard, the TrackPoint III, the hard disk drive, the parallel connector, or the diskette drive; or the AC Adapter is plugged in. The time is specified by Configurations program.

 The battery condition is low. The battery power

indicator blinks orange.

 Either the PS2 OFF or PS2 SUSpend command is

set in the ThinkPad Configurations program.

Notes

1. In the ThinkPad Configurations program, the computer can be set to “Will not suspend even if LCD is closed.”

2. If the computer is powered on with ac power and it is used with one of the communication PC Cards, the computer enters PC Card and application program remain active.

3. The computer cannot enter suspend mode while a communication link is connecting.

The following events cause the computer to resume operation from suspend mode:

 The LCD is opened.  The real time clock alarm is signaled.  The ring indicator (RI) is signaled by a serial device

or PC Card device.

 The Fn key is pressed.  An external keyboard key is pressed while the

computer is operating with ac power.

The computer also exits suspend mode when timer conditions are satisfied for entering hibernation mode.

Hibernation Mode: In hibernation mode, the

following occurs:

 The system status, RAM, VRAM, and setup data are

stored on the hard disk.

 The system is powered off.

Note

The computer cannot enter hibernation mode if it has been powered on with ac power and a communication PC Card is used.

The following events cause the computer to enter hibernation mode:

 Hibernation mode is requested by the Fn key

(Fn+F12).

 Timer conditions are satisfied in suspend mode.  A critically low battery condition occurs.  The PS2 HIBernation command is set in the

ThinkPad Configurations program.

The computer exits hibernation mode and resumes operation when the power-on switch is pressed. When power is turned on, the hibernation file in the boot record on the hard disk drive is read and system status is restored from the hard disk drive.

Port Replicator Power Overload: If a power

shutdown occurs intermittently when PC Card devices are used with a port replicator, suspect an over-current problem. Some PC Card devices use much power; if the maximum usage of each device occurs simultaneously, the total current exceeds the limit, thereby causing a power shutdown. Isolate this problem by removing one of the devices, and use the computer under the same condition to see if a power shutdown occurs. Do this procedure for all devices to help determine the cause.

Symptom-to-FRU Index

The symptom-to-FRU Index lists the symptoms and errors and the possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first.

Note

Perform the FRU replacement or actions in the sequence shown in the “FRU/Action” columns. If a FRU replacement did not solve the problem, put the original FRU back in the computer. Do not replace a nondefective FRU.

This index can also help you determine the next possible FRUs to be replaced when servicing a computer.

Numeric error codes show the errors detected in POST or system operation. In the following error codes, X can be any number.

If no codes are available, use narrative symptoms. If the symptom is not listed, go to “Undetermined

Note: If you cannot find a symptom or an error in this list

and the problem remains, see “Undetermined Problems” on page 46.

Intermittent Problems

Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware defect, such as cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement should be considered only when a recurring problem exists.

When analyzing the intermittent problem, do the following:

1. Run the advanced diagnostic test for the system board in loop mode at least 10 times.

2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRUs.

3. If any error is detected, replace the FRU shown by the FRU code. Rerun the test to verify that no more errors exist.

ThinkPad 560X (2640-60x, 70x)

Undetermined Problems

You are here because the diagnostic tests did not identify which adapter or device failed, installed devices are incorrect, a short circuit is suspected, or the system is inoperative. Follow these procedures to isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate nondefective FRUs).

Verify that all attached devices are supported by the computer.

Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating correctly. (See “Power Systems Checkout” on page 30):

1. Power off the computer.

2. Visually check the attached devices and power supply for damage. If any problems are found, replace the FRU.

3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices: a. Non-IBM devices.

b. Devices attached to the port replicator.

c. Printer, mouse, and other external devices.

d. Battery pack.

e. Hard disk drive.

f. External diskette drive. g. DIMM. h. PC Cards.

4. Power on the computer.

5. Determine if the problem has changed.

6. If the problem does not remain, reconnect the removed devices one at a time until you find the failing FRU.

7. If the problem remains, replace the following FRUs one at a time. Do not replace a nondefective FRU. a. System board. b. LCD assembly.

7. To exit the keyboard test, click on Exit or press Ctrl+Break. The Advanced Diagnostics window appears:

ThinkPad 560X (2640-60x, 70x) 47

8. Click on a device to test it, or click on Test All to test all devices.

Click on Looptest to run the tests in a repeated loop. The loop option menu window appears. Click on a device; the √ mark appears beside the selected device. Repeat this step to select multiple devices. Click on OK to start the diagnostic loop. If no device is selected, all devices tests are looped.

9. To exit the loop, keep pressing Ctrl+Pause until the test exits. A beep sounds to notify that the exit interrupt is sensed by the test program. Press Esc to exit from the loop test.

PC Card (PCMCIA) Slots Test

The green LED on the PC test card (P/N 35G4703) turns on when the PC Card (PCMCIA) slot test is running. If the LED does not turn on, check that the card is installed correctly by reseating it. If the LED still does not turn on after the card is reseated, try using another slot for the test. If the LED still does not turn on and the test fails, replace the FRU shown by the diagnostic error code.

Universal Serial Bus (USB) Test

At the advanced diagnostic window, connect the USB parallel test cable (P/N 05K2580) to the computer as shown.

Click on to run the test. Follow the instructions on the screen. OK appears if the test passed, but three lines of error codes appear if the test failed. The defective FRU is the system board.

Use cable number 2 for an external USB port, such as a port replicator or a docking station.

Displaying the Error Log

Diagnostic errors are printed on a printer that is attached to the parallel port when the error is detected. The error is also logged in the system memory.

48 IBM ThinkPad 560X (2640-60x, 70x) HMM

Use the following procedure to display the errors:

1. Enter the advanced diagnostic test.

2. Press Ctrl+E.

3. The error log appears.

4. To exit the screen, click on Exit or press Esc key.

The error log is not saved when system power is turned off.

Checking the Installed Devices List

If a device is installed but the icon appears in a gray shade rather than a dark shade on the basic diagnostics screen, the device is defective. Reseat the device connectors. If the symptom remains, replace the device or the system board. If needed, adjust the contrast control to clearly distinguish the shades of the icon.

If a device that is not installed appears in a dark shade (for

example, FDD-2 appears in a dark shade when FDD is installed), do the following:

1. Replace the first device in the configuration, such as an FDD-1.

2. If the problem remains, replace the system board.

The Parallel and Serial icons are always displayed in a dark shade, because the icons represent subsystems of the system board and not the attachment of the devices.

The FDD-1 icon represents the first drive in the system configuration for each type of device. For Model 560X, FDD-1 represents an external diskette drive attached through the external diskette drive connector. Similarly, the FDD-2 icon represents the second drive, usually attached through a port replicator.

Diagnostic Error Codes

If an error is detected, the following appears:

 Large X on the left side of the device icon.  Device ID (three digits).  Error code (two digits).  FRU code (four digits).

The device ID and error code indicate the detailed portion of the FRU that caused the error. If replacing a FRU does not correct the problem, see the device ID or error code from the previous failure. If they have changed, the cause might be that the new FRU is detective or that the FRU was incorrectly installed.

Device ID: If an error is detected by the diagnostic

tests, a three-digit device ID is displayed, indicating the suspected device.

FRU Removals and Replacements

This section contains information about removals and replacements.

 Do not damage any parts. Only certified and trained

personnel should service the computer.

 The arrows in the “Removals and Replacements”

section show the direction of movement to remove a FRU, or to turn a screw to release the FRU. The arrows are marked in numeric order, in square callouts, to show the correct sequence of removal.

 When other FRUs must be removed before the failing

FRU is removed, they are listed at the top of the page.

 To replace a FRU, reverse the removal procedure

and follow any notes that pertain to replacement. See “Locations” for internal cable connections and arrangement information.

 When replacing a FRU, use the correct screw size as

shown in the procedures.

Safety Notice 1: Translation on page 4

Before the computer is powered-on after FRU replacement, make sure all screws, springs, or other small parts, are in place and are not left loose inside the computer. Verify this by shaking the computer and listening for rattling sounds. Metallic parts or metal flakes can cause electrical short circuits.

Safety Notice 3: Translation on page 6

The battery pack contains small amounts of nickel. Do not disassemble it, throw it into fire or water, or short-circuit it. Dispose of the battery pack as required by local ordinances or regulations.

Safety Notice 8: Translation on page 10

Before removing any FRU, power-off the computer, unplug all power cords from electrical outlets, remove the battery pack, and then disconnect any interconnecting cables.

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap (P/N 6405959) must be used to establish personal grounding.
