Introduction

Important service information

Important

BIOS and device driver fixes are

customer-installable. The BIOS and device drivers

are posted on the customer support site

http://www.lenovo.com/think/ support

Advise customers to contact the Customer Support

Center at 800-426-7378 if they need assistance in

obtaining or installing any diskette fixes.

Customers in Canada should call the Customer

Support Center at 800-565-3344 for assistance or

download information.

Strategy for replacing FRUs

Before replacing parts

Make sure that all diskette fixes are installed before

replacing any FRUs listed in this manual.

Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary expense

for replacing and servicing FRUs:

v If you are instructed to replace a FRU but the

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

v 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 replacing one of them does not correct the problem, reinstall that board, and then replace the other one.

v If an adapter or a device consists of more than one

FRU, any of the FRUs may be the cause of the error. 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.

Attention: The setup configuration on the computer you

are servicing may have been customized. Running Automatic Configuration may alter the settings. Note the current configuration settings (using the View Configuration option); then, when service has been completed, verify that those settings remain in effect.

Important service information

Strategy for replacing a hard disk drive

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 may have been changed. Be extremely careful during write operations such as copying, saving, or formatting. If you select an incorrect drive, data or programs can be overwritten.

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 causes the first error code may also cause false error codes. If no error code is displayed, see whether the error symptom is listed in the Symptom-to-FRU Index for the computer you are servicing.

Strategy for replacing FRUs for CTO, CMV, and GAV

Product definition

Dynamic Configure To Order (CTO)

This provides the ability for a customer to configure an

IBM

solution from an eSite, and have this configuration sent to fulfillment, where it is built and shipped directly to the customer. The machine label, PC Entitlement Warehouse (PEW), eSupport, and the HMM will load these products as the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = “CTO” (Example: 1829-CTO).

Custom Model Variant (CMV)

This is a unique configuration that has been negotiated between IBM and the customer. A unique 4-digit MT and 3-digit model is provided to the customer to place orders (Example: 1829-W15). A CMV is a special bid offering. Therefore, it is NOT generally announced.

v The MTM portion of the machine label is the 4-digit MT

and 3-digit model, where model = “CTO” (Example: 1829-CTO). The PRODUCT ID portion of the machine label is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit CMV model (Example: 1829-W15).

v The PEW record is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model,

where model = “CTO” (Example: 1829-CTO).

v eSupport will show both the CTO and CMV machine

type models (Example: 1829-CTO and 1829-W15 will be found on the eSupport site.)

4 MT 2668/2669/2678/2679/2686/2687

Important service information

v The HMM will have the 4-digit MT and 3-digit CTO

model only (Example: 1829-CTO). Again, CMVs are custom models and are not found in the HMM.

General Announce Variant (GAV)

is a standard model (fixed configuration). GAVs are

This announced and offered to all customers. The MTM portion of the machine label is a 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = a “fixed part number”, not “CTO” (Example: 1829-F1U). Also, PEW, eSupport, and the HMM will list these products under the same fixed model number.

FRU identification for CTO, CMV, and GAV products

There are three information resources to identify which FRUs are used to support CTO, CMV, and GAV products. These sources are PEW, eSupport, and the HMM.

Using PEW

v PEW is the primary source for identifying FRU part

numbers and FRU descriptions for the key commodities for CTO, CMV and GAV products at a MT - serial number level. An example of key commodities are hard disk drives, system boards, microprocessors, Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs), and memory.

v Remember, All CTO and CMV products are loaded in

PEW under the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = “CTO” (Example: 1829-CTO). GAVs are loaded in PEW under the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = a “fixed part number”, not “CTO” (Example: 1829-F1U).

v PEW can be accessed at the following Web site:

http://w3-3.ibm.com/pc/entitle

Click on MACHINE LOOKUP, followed by WARRANTY INFORMATION. Input the MT and the Serial number and the list of key commodities will be returned in the PEW record under COMPONENT INFORMATION.

v Business Partners using Eclaim will access PEW when

performing Entitlement Lookup. Business Partners will enter Loc ID, MT and Serial, and the key commodities will be returned in the Eclaim record under SYSTEM DETAILS.

v Authorized IBM Business Partners can access Eclaim at

the following Web site: https://wca.eclaim.com

Using eSupport

For Key Commodities (Examples - hard disk drive, system board, microprocessor, LCD, and memory)

Introduction 5

Important service information

v eSupport can be used to view the list of key

commodities built in a particular machine serial (this is the same record found in PEW).

v eSupport can be accessed at the following Web site:

http://www.lenovo.com/think/ support

v To view the key commodities, click on PA RTS

INFORMATION, then PART S LOOKUP. Type in the model type and serial number. The key commodities will be returned in the eSupport record under PAR TS SHIPPED WITH YOUR SYSTEM.

For the Remaining FRUs (the complete list of FRUs at the MT Model level)

v eSupport can be used to view the complete list of FRUs

for a machine type and model.

v To view the complete list of FRUs, type in the machine

type and model (Example: 1829-CTO) under QUICK PATH. Under “View by Document Type” select PARTS INFORMATION. Under “Filter by Category” select SERVICE PARTS. Under “Parts Information by Date” select SYSTEM SERVICE PARTS. The list of service parts by description, with applicable machine type model and FRU will be displayed.

Using the HMM

Use the HMM as a back-up to PEW and eSupport to view the complete list of FRUs at the MT Model level.

Important service information

Important information about replacing RoHS compliant FRUs

RoHS, The Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (2002/95/EC) is a European Union legal requirement affecting the global electronics industry. RoHS requirements must be implemented on Lenovo products placed on the market after June 2006. Products on the market before June 2006 are not required to have RoHS compliant parts. So, if the original FRU parts are non compliant, replacement parts can also be non compliant. In all cases if the original FRU parts are RoHS compliant the replacement part must also be RoHS compliant.

Lenovo plans to transition to RoHS compliance well before the implementation date and expects its suppliers to be ready to support Lenovo's requirements and schedule. Products sold in 2005, will contain some RoHS compliant FRUs. The following statement pertains to these products and any product Lenovo produces containing RoHS compliant FRUs.

RoHS compliant FRUs have unique FRU part numbers. Before or after the RoHS implementation date, failed RoHS compliant parts must always be replaced using RoHS compliant FRUs, so only the FRUs identified as compliant in the system HMM or direct substitutions for those FRUs may be used.

Though the main batteries have low voltage, a shorted or grounded battery can produce enough current to burn personnel or combustible materials.

Bien que le voltage des batteries principales soit peu élevé, le court-circuit ou la mise à la masse d’une batterie peut produire suffisamment de courant pour brûler des matériaux combustibles ou causer des brûlures corporelles graves.

Obwohl Hauptbatterien eine niedrige Spannung haben, können sie doch bei Kurzschluß oder Erdung genug Strom abgeben, um brennbare Materialien zu entzünden oder Verletzungen bei Personen hervorzurufen.

Sebbene le batterie di alimentazione siano a basso voltaggio, una batteria in corto circuito o a massa può fornire corrente sufficiente da bruciare materiali combustibili o provocare ustioni ai tecnici di manutenzione.

Aunque las baterías principales tienen un voltaje bajo, una batería cortocircuitada o con contacto a tierra puede producir la corriente suficiente como para quemar material combustible o provocar quemaduras en el personal.

Introduction 19

Safety information

The following section presents safety information with which you need to be familiar before you service a ThinkPad computer.

General safety

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

v Observe good housekeeping in the area of the

machines during and after maintenance.

v When lifting any heavy object:

1. Make sure that 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. Do not attempt to lift any

object that weighs more than 16 kg (35 lb) or that you think is too heavy for you.

v Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the

customer, or that makes the equipment unsafe.

v Before you start the machine, make sure that other

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

v Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place,

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

v Keep your toolcase away from walk areas so that other

people will not trip over it.

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

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

v Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or

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

v Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or

metal fasteners for your clothing.

Attention: Metal objects are good electrical

conductors.

v 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.

Safety information

v After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels,

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

v Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the

machine to the customer.

v Fan louvers on the machine help to prevent overheating

of internal components. Do not obstruct fan louvers or cover them with labels or stickers.

WARNING

Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after

handling.

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.

v 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.

v Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near

equipment that has hazardous voltages.

v 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.

v If you need to work on a machine that has exposed

electrical circuits, observe the following precautions:

Introduction 21

Safety information

– 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: An electrical shock can occur only when

there is a complete circuit. 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; Instructions for these precautions are in the safety sections of maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high voltages.

v Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools

for safe operational condition.

v Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.

v Never assume that power has been disconnected from

a circuit. First, check that it has been powered off.

v 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.

v 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.

v Do not service the following parts with the power on

when they are removed from their normal operating places in a machine: – Power supply units – Pumps – Blowers and fans – Motor generators

similar units. (This practice ensures correct

and grounding of the units.)

v If an electrical accident occurs:

– Use caution; do not become a victim yourself. – Switch off power. – Send another person to get medical aid.

Safety information

Safety inspection guide

The purpose of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potentially unsafe conditions. As each machine was designed and built, required safety items were installed to protect users and service personnel from injury. This guide addresses only those items. You should use good judgment to identify potential safety hazards due to attachment of non-ThinkPad 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:

v Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary

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

v Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or a

bulging capacitor

v Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware

determine whether there are any potentially unsafe

To conditions, use the following checklist at the beginning of every service task. 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 the frame ground.

b. The power cord should be the type specified in the

parts list.

c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.

Remove the cover.

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

Introduction 23

Safety information

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

Handling devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge

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:

v Keep the parts in protective packages until they are

inserted into the product.

v Avoid contact with other people.

v Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to

eliminate static on your body.

v Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most

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

v 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.

v 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 to guard against ESD damage is desirable but not necessary.

– Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground,

ground braid, or green-wire ground.

– When working on a double-insulated or

battery-operated system, use an ESD common ground or reference point. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these systems.
