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/
support
Advise customers to contact the Customer Support Center at 800-426-7378 if
they need assistance in obtaining or installing any software fixes, drivers, and
BIOS downloads.
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 software fixes, drivers, and BIOS downloads are installed
before replacing any FRUs listed in this manual.
To download software fixes, drivers, and BIOS, do as follows:
1. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support
2. Enter the product number of the computer or press Auto-detect button on
the screen.
3. Select Downloads and drivers.
4. Follow the directions on the screen and install the necessary software.
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.
Important notice for replacing a system board
Some components mounted on a system board are very sensitive. Improper
handling of a system board can cause damage to those components, and may
cause a system malfunction.
Attention: When handling a system board:
v Do not drop a system board or apply any excessive force to it.
v Avoid rough handling of any kind.
v Avoid bending a system board and hard pushing to prevent cracking at each
BGA (Ball Grid Array) chipset.
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)
provides the ability for a customer to configure an IBM
This
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 or Lenovo
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.)
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.

Important service information
General Announce Variant (GAV)
This is a standard model (fixed configuration). GAVs are 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
Customers can also access PEW via
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?template=/
warranty/warranty.vm&sitestyle=lenovo
on MACHINE LOOKUP, followed by WARRANTY INFORMATION. Input
Click
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 We b site:
https://wca.eclaim.com
Using eSupport
For Key Commodities (Examples - hard disk drive, system board,
microprocessor, LCD, and memory)
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/
support
v To view the key commodities, click on PA RT S INFORMATION, then PAR TS
LOOKUP. Type in the model type and serial number. The key commodities will
be returned in the eSupport record under PA RT S 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

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 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 and 2006, 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.
Products marketed before June 2006 Products marketed after June 2006

DANGER
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.

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.
Electrical safety
Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.
Introduction 13
Safety information
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
v
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:
– 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.

Safety information
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
and similar units. (This practice ensures correct 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 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. Yo u 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 conditions, use the
To
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.
4. Check for cracked or bulging batteries.
5. Remove the cover.
6. Check for any obvious non-ThinkPad alterations. Use good judgment as to the
safety of any non-ThinkPad alterations.
7. 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.
8. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
Introduction 15
Safety information
Handling devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge
9. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been
removed or tampered with.
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. Yo u 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.
