General safety guidelines

Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and
property damage.

Service and upgrades

Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the
Customer Support Center or your documentation. Only use a Service Provider
who is approved to repair your particular product.

Note: Some computer parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer.
Upgrades typically are referred to as options. Replacement parts approved for
customer installation are referred to as Customer Replaceable Units, or CRUs.
Lenovo provides documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for

10 Safety and Warranty Guide

customers to install options or replace CRUs. You must closely follow all
instructions when installing or replacing parts. The Off state of a power
indicator does not necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a product are
zero. Before you remove the covers from a product equipped with a power
cord, always make sure that the power is turned off and that the product is
unplugged from any power source. For more information on CRUs, refer to the
ThinkCentre Hardware Installation and Replacement Guide for this product. If you
have any questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support Center.

Although there are no moving parts in your computer after the power cord has
been disconnected, the following warnings are required for your safety.

DANGER

Hazardous moving parts. Keep fingers and other body parts away.

CAUTION:

Before replacing any CRUs, turn off the computer and wait three to five
minutes to let the computer cool before opening the cover.

Static electricity prevention

Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer
components and options. Improper handling of static-sensitive parts can cause
damage to the part. When you unpack an option or CRU, do not open the
static-protective package containing the part until the instructions direct you to
install it.

When you handle options or CRUs, or perform any work inside the computer,
take the following precautions to avoid static-electricity damage:

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

around you.
v Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules,

and other circuit boards by the edges. Never touch exposed circuitry.
v Prevent others from touching components.

Chapter 1. Important safety information 11

v When you install a static-sensitive option or CRU, 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 static-sensitive part from the static-protective

packaging and install the part without setting it down. When this is not
possible, place the static-protective packaging 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.

Power cords and power adapters

Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product
manufacturer.

The power cords shall be safety approved. For Germany, it shall be H05VV-F,
3G, 0.75 mm2, or better. For other countries, the suitable types shall be used
accordingly.

Never wrap a power cord around a power adapter or other object. Doing so
can stress the cord in ways that can cause the cord to fray, crack, or crimp.
This can present a safety hazard.

Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or
pinched by objects.

Protect power cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not
leave your power cord or power adapter near sinks, tubs, toilets, or on floors
that are cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause a short circuit,
particularly if the power cord or power adapter has been stressed by misuse.
Liquids also can cause gradual corrosion of power cord terminals and/or the
connector terminals on a power adapter, which can eventually result in
overheating.

Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and ensure
that all power cord connectors are securely and completely plugged into
receptacles.

Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins or
shows signs of overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input or
anywhere on the power adapter.

Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show
signs of corrosion or overheating or where the power cord appears to have
been damaged in any way.

12 Safety and Warranty Guide

Voltage-selection switch

Some computers are equipped with a voltage-selection switch located near the
power-cord connection point on the computer and some computers do not
have a voltage-selection switch. Before you install your computer or relocate
your computer to another country or region, you must be certain that you
have matched your computer to the voltage available at your electrical outlet.

CAUTION:
You must know the voltage of the electrical connection (outlet) where your
computer will be connected. If you do not know the voltage, contact your
local electric company or refer to official Web sites or other literature for
travelers to the country or region where you are located.

If your computer has a voltage-selection switch, you must set the switch to
match the voltage available at your electrical outlet. Setting the
voltage-selection switch incorrectly will cause the computer to malfunction and
might cause permanent damage to the computer. Do not connect the computer
to an electrical outlet until you have verified that the voltage-selection switch
setting matches the voltage available at the electrical outlets.

If your computer does not have a voltage-selection switch, inspect the
voltage-rating label on the bottom of the computer and note the following:

v If the voltage-rating label shows a range of either ″100-127 V″ or ″200-240 V, ″

you must ensure that the voltage provided at the electrical outlet matches

the voltage rating on the computer label. If it does not match, do not

attempt to connect the computer to the electrical outlet, unless an external

device such as a voltage-converting transformer is used.
v If the voltage-rating label shows a dual range of ″100-127 V″ and ″200-240

V,″ this signifies that the computer is suitable for worldwide operation and

the computer will automatically adjust to the voltage at the electrical outlet

regardless of the country or region where the computer is being connected.

Extension cords and related devices

Ensure that extension cords, surge protectors, uninterruptible power supplies,
and power strips that you use are rated to handle the electrical requirements of
the product. Never overload these devices. If power strips are used, the load
should not exceed the power strip input rating. Consult an electrician for more
information if you have questions about power loads, power requirements, and
input ratings.

Plugs and outlets

If a receptacle (power outlet) that you intend to use with your computer
equipment appears to be damaged or corroded, do not use the outlet until it is
replaced by a qualified electrician.

Chapter 1. Important safety information 13

Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the
manufacturer to obtain a replacement.

Do not share an electrical outlet with other home or commercial appliances
that draw large amounts of electricity; otherwise, unstable voltage might
damage your computer, data, or attached devices.

Some products are equipped with a three-pronged plug. This plug fits only
into a grounded electrical outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat this
safety feature by trying to insert it into a non-grounded outlet. If you cannot
insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician for an approved outlet
adapter or to replace the outlet with one that enables this safety feature. Never
overload an electrical outlet. The overall system load should not exceed 80
percent of the branch circuit rating. Consult an electrician for more information
if you have questions about power loads and branch circuit ratings.

Be sure that the power outlet you are using is properly wired, easily accessible,
and located close to the equipment. Do not fully extend power cords in a way
that will stress the cords.

Be sure that the power outlet provides the correct voltage and current for the
product you are installing.

Carefully connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet.

External devices

Do not connect or disconnect any external device cables other than USB and
1394 cables while the computer power is on; otherwise, you might damage
your computer. To avoid possible damage to attached devices, wait at least five
seconds after the computer is shut down to disconnect external devices.

Batteries

All personal computers manufactured by Lenovo contain a non-rechargeable
coin cell battery to provide power to the system clock. In addition, many
mobile products, such as notebook computers, utilize a rechargeable battery
pack to provide system power when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by
Lenovo for use with your product have been tested for compatibility and
should only be replaced with approved parts.

Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or
incinerate batteries or short circuit the metal contacts. Do not expose the
battery to water or other liquids. Only recharge the battery pack strictly
according to instructions included in the product documentation.

14 Safety and Warranty Guide

Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which can
cause gasses or flame to “vent” from the battery pack or coin cell. If your
battery is damaged, or if you notice any discharge from your battery or the
buildup of foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and
obtain a replacement from the battery manufacturer.

Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time. For
some rechargeable batteries (particularly Lithium Ion batteries), leaving a
battery unused in a discharged state could increase the risk of a battery short
circuit, which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose a safety
hazard. Do not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or
store these batteries in a discharged state.

Heat and product ventilation

Computers, power adapters, and many accessories can generate heat when
turned on and when batteries are charging. Always follow these basic
precautions:

v Do not leave your computer, power adapter, or accessories in contact with

your lap or any part of your body for an extended period when the

products are functioning or when the battery is charging. Your computer,

power adapter, and many accessories produce some heat during normal

operation. Extended contact with the body could cause discomfort or,

potentially, a skin burn.
v Do not charge the battery or operate your computer, power adapter, or

accessories near flammable materials or in explosive environments.
v Ventilation slots, fans, and heat sinks are provided with the product for

safety, comfort, and reliable operation. These features might inadvertently

become blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, carpet, or other

flexible surface. Never block, cover, or disable these features.

Inspect
months. Before inspecting your computer, turn off the power and unplug the
computer’s power cord from the electrical outlet; then remove any dust from
vents and perforations in the bezel. If you notice external dust accumulation,
then examine and remove dust from the inside of the computer including heat
sink inlet fins, power supply vents, and fans. Always turn off and unplug the
computer before opening the cover. If possible, avoid operating your computer
within two feet of high-traffic areas. If you must operate your computer in or
near a high-traffic area, inspect and, if necessary, clean your computer more
frequently.

For your safety and to maintain optimum computer performance, always
follow these basic precautions with your desktop computer:

v Keep the cover closed whenever the computer is plugged in.
v Regularly inspect the outside of the computer for dust accumulation.

Chapter 1. Important safety information 15

cleanings might be required for computers in dusty or high-traffic areas.

v Do not restrict or block any ventilation openings.
v Do not store or operate your computer inside furniture, as this might

increase the risk of overheating.

v Airflow temperatures into the computer should not exceed 35° C (95° F).
v Do not use non-desktop air filtration devices.

Operating environment

The optimal environment in which to use your computer is 10°C-35°C
(50°F-95°F) with humidity ranging between 35% and 80%. If your computer is
stored or transported in temperatures less than 10°C (50°F), allow the cold
computer to rise slowly to an optimal operating temperature of 10°C-35°C
(50°F-95°F) before use. This process could take two hours in extreme
conditions. Failure to allow your computer to rise to an optimal operating
temperature before use could result in irreparable damage to your computer.

If possible, place your computer in a well-ventilated and dry area without
direct exposure to sunshine.

Keep electrical appliances such as an electric fan, radio, high-powered
speakers, air conditioner, and microwave oven away from your computer
because the strong magnetic fields generated by these appliances can damage
the monitor and data on the hard disk drive.

Do not place any beverages on top of or beside the computer or other attached
devices. If liquid is spilled on or in the computer or an attached device, a short
circuit or other damage might occur.

Do not eat or smoke over your keyboard. Particles that fall into your keyboard

20 Safety and Warranty Guide

The following notice applies to all countries and regions:

DANGER

Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
equipment, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded as
to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges.

Lightning

For added protection for this equipment during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the video
product due to lightning and power line surges.

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines or where it can fall into such power
lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power
lines or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal.

Data safety

Do not delete unknown files or change the name of files or directories that
were not created by you; otherwise, your computer software might fail to
work.

Be aware that accessing network resources can leave your computer vulnerable
to computer viruses, hackers, spyware, and other malicious activities that
might damage your computer, software, or data. It is your responsibility to
ensure that you have adequate protection in the form of firewalls, antivirus
software, and anti-spyware software and keep this software up to date.

Chapter 1. Important safety information 21

Cleaning and maintenance

Keep your computer and workspace clean. Shut down the computer and then
disconnect the power cord before cleaning the computer. Do not spray any
liquid detergent directly on the computer or use any detergent containing
flammable material to clean the computer. Spray the detergent on a soft cloth
and then wipe the computer surfaces.

Using headphones or earphones

If your computer has both a headphone connector and an audio line-out
connector, always use the headphone connector for headphones (also called a
headset) or earphones.

CAUTION:
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing
loss. Adjustment of the equalizer to maximum increases the earphones and
headphones output voltage and therefore the sound pressure level.

Excessive use of headphones or earphones for a long period of time at high
volume can be dangerous if the output of the headphone or earphone
connectors do not comply with specifications of EN 50332-2. The headphone
output connector of your computer complies with EN 50332-2 Sub clause 7.
This specification limits the computer’s maximum wide band true RMS output
voltage to 150 mV. To help protect against hearing loss, ensure that the
headphones or earphones you use also comply with EN 50332-2 (Clause 7
Limits) for a wide band characteristic voltage of 75 mV. Using headphones that
do not comply with EN 50332-2 can be dangerous due to excessive sound
pressure levels.

If your Lenovo computer came with headphones or earphones in the package,
as a set, the combination of the headphones or earphones and the computer
already complies with the specifications of EN 50332-1. If different headphones
or earphones are used, ensure that they comply with EN 50332-1 (Clause 6.5
Limitation Values). Using headphones that do not comply with EN 50332-1 can
be dangerous due to excessive sound pressure levels.

CAUTION:
Plastic bags can be dangerous. Keep plastic bags away from babies and
children to avoid danger of suffocation.

22 Safety and Warranty Guide

Chapter 2. Arranging your workspace

To get the most from your computer, arrange both the equipment you use and
your work area to suit your needs and the kind of work you do. Your comfort
is of foremost importance, but light sources, air circulation, and the location of
electrical outlets can also affect the way you arrange your workspace.

Comfort

Although no single working position is ideal for everyone, here are a few
guidelines to help you find a position that suits you best.

Sitting in the same position for a long time can cause fatigue. The backrest and
seat of your chair should adjust independently and provide good support. The
seat should have a curved front to relieve pressure on the thighs. Adjust the
seat so that your thighs are parallel to the floor and your feet are either flat on
the floor or on a footrest.

When using the keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor and your
wrists in a comfortable position. Use a light touch on the keyboard and your
hands and fingers relaxed. Change the angle of the keyboard for maximum
comfort by adjusting the position of the keyboard feet.

Viewing Distance

Lower
Back
Support

Seat
Height

Adjust the monitor so the top of the screen is at, or slightly below, eye level.
Place the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance, usually 51 to 61 cm (20 to
24 inches), and position it so you can view it without having to twist your
body. Also, position other equipment you use regularly, such as the telephone
or a mouse, within easy reach.

© Copyright Lenovo 2008 23

Glare and lighting

Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections from overhead lights,
windows, and other light sources. Reflected light from shiny surfaces can cause
annoying reflections on your monitor screen. Place the monitor at right angles
to windows and other light sources, when possible. Reduce overhead lighting,
if necessary, by turning off lights or using lower wattage bulbs. If you install
the monitor near a window, use curtains or blinds to block the sunlight. You
can adjust the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor as the room
lighting changes throughout the day.

Where it is impossible to avoid reflections or to adjust the lighting, an antiglare
filter placed over the screen might be helpful. However, these filters might
affect the clarity of the image on the screen; try them only after you have
exhausted other methods of reducing glare.

Dust buildup compounds problems associated with glare. Remember to clean
your monitor screen periodically using a soft cloth as directed in your monitor
documentation.

Air circulation

Your computer and monitor produce heat. The computer has a fan that pulls in
fresh air and forces out hot air. The monitor lets hot air escape through vents.
Blocking the air vents can cause overheating, which might result in a
malfunction or damage. Place the computer and monitor so that nothing blocks
the air vents; usually, 51 mm (two inches) of air space is sufficient. Also, make
sure the vented air is not blowing on people.

Electrical outlets and cable lengths

The location of electrical outlets, the length of power cords and cables that
connect to the monitor, printer, and other devices might determine the final
placement of your computer.

When arranging your workspace:
v Avoid the use of extension cords. When possible, plug the computer power

cord directly into an electrical outlet.

v Keep power cords and cables neatly routed away from walkways and other

areas where they might get kicked accidentally.

Chapter 5. Lenovo Limited Warranty

L505-0010-01 04/2008

This Lenovo Limited Warranty applies only to Lenovo branded hardware
products you purchased for your own use and not for resale. This Lenovo
Limited Warranty is available in other languages at www.lenovo.com/
warranty.

What this Warranty Covers

Lenovo warrants that each hardware product that you purchase is free from
defects in materials and workmanship under normal use during the warranty
period. The warranty period for the product starts on the original date of
purchase specified on your sales receipt or invoice unless Lenovo informs you
otherwise in writing. The warranty period and type of warranty service that
apply to your product are designated below under the section titled ″Warranty

Information.″

THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND REPLACES
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO
THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT,
SUCH WARRANTIES APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW
AND ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO
WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN
IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION ON
DURATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

How to Obtain Warranty Service

If the product does not function as warranted during the warranty period, you
may obtain warranty service by contacting Lenovo or an approved service
provider. Each of them is referred to as a ″Service Provider.″ A list of Service
Providers and their telephone numbers is available at www.lenovo.com/
support/phone.

Warranty service may not be available in all locations and may differ from
location to location. Charges may apply outside a Service Provider’s normal
service area. Contact a local Service Provider for location-specific information.

© Copyright Lenovo 2008 39

What Your Service Provider Will Do to Correct Problems

When you contact a Service Provider, you must follow the problem
determination and resolution procedures specified.

Your Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem over
the telephone, e-mail, or through remote assistance. Your Service Provider may
direct you to download and install designated software updates.

Some problems can be resolved with a replacement part that you can install
yourself called a ″Customer Replaceable Unit″ or ″CRU.″ If so, your Service
Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.

If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or remotely, through
your application of software updates or the installation of a CRU by you, your
Service Provider will arrange for service under the type of warranty service
designated for the product under the section titled ″Warranty Information.″

If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product,
your Service Provider will replace it with one that is at least functionally
equivalent.

If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or replace
your product, your sole remedy is to return the product to your place of
purchase or to Lenovo for a refund of your purchase price.

Replacement of a Product or Part

When the warranty service involves the replacement of a product or part, the
replaced product or part becomes Lenovo’s property and the replacement
product or part becomes your property. Only unaltered Lenovo products and
parts are eligible for replacement. The replacement product or part provided
by Lenovo may not be new, but it will be in good working order and at least
functionally equivalent to the original product or part. The replacement
product or part shall be warranted for the balance of the period remaining on
the original product.

Before your Service Provider replaces a product or part, you agree to:

1. remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under
warranty service;

2. ensure that the product or part is free of any legal obligations or
restrictions that prevent its replacement; and

3. obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider service
a product or part if you do not own it.

40 Safety and Warranty Guide

Your Additional Responsibilities

Where applicable, before service is provided, you agree to:

1. follow the service request procedures that your Service Provider specifies;

2. backup or secure all programs and data contained in the product;

3. provide your Service Provider with all system keys or passwords and

sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to perform service; and

4. ensure that all information about identified or identifiable individuals
(″Personal Data″) is deleted from the product or that, with respect to any
Personal Data that you did not delete, you are in compliance with all
applicable laws.

Use of Personal Information

If you obtain service under this warranty, Lenovo will store, use, and process
information about your warranty service and your contact information,
including name, phone numbers, address, and e-mail address. Lenovo will use
this information to perform service under this warranty and to improve our
business relationship with you. We may contact you to inquire about your
satisfaction regarding our warranty service or to notify you about any product
recalls or safety issues. In accomplishing these purposes, we may transfer your
information to any country where we do business and may provide it to
entities acting on our behalf. We may also disclose it where required by law.

This warranty does not cover the following:

v uninterrupted or error-free operation of a product;
v loss of, or damage to, your data;
v any software programs, whether provided with the product or installed

subsequently;

v failure or damage resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable

* Denotes ENERGY STAR machines. For more information, see “ENERGY STAR model
information” on page 79.

If required, your Service Provider will provide repair or exchange service
depending on the type of warranty service specified for your product and the
available service. Scheduling of service will depend upon the time of your call,
parts availability, and other factors.

A warranty period of three (3) years on parts and one (1) year on labor means
that Lenovo will provide warranty service without charge for:

a. parts and labor during the first year of the warranty period (or a longer
period as required by law); and

b. parts only, on an exchange basis, in the second and third years of the
warranty period. Your Service Provider will charge you for any labor provided
in performance of the repair or replacement in the second and third years of
the warranty period.

Types of Warranty Service

1. Customer Replaceable Unit (″CRU″) Service

Under CRU Service, your Service Provider will ship CRUs to you for
installation by you. CRU information and replacement instructions are shipped
with your product and are available from Lenovo at any time upon request.
CRUs that are easily installed by you are called Self-service CRUs, while

Chapter 5. Lenovo Limited Warranty 55

Optional-service CRUs may require some technical skill and tools. Installation
of Self-service CRUs is your responsibility. You may request that a Service
Provider install Optional-service CRUs under one of the other types of
warranty service designated for your product. An optional service offering may
be available for purchase from Lenovo to have Lenovo install Self-service
CRUs for you. Yo u may find a list of CRUs and their designation in the
publication that ships with your product or at www.lenovo.com/CRUs. The
requirement to return a defective CRU, if any, will be specified in the materials
shipped with a replacement CRU. When return is required: 1) return
instructions, a prepaid return shipping label, and a container will be included
with the replacement CRU; and 2) you may be charged for the replacement
CRU if your Service Provider does not receive the defective CRU within thirty
(30) days of your receipt of the replacement.

2. On-site Service

Under On-Site Service, your Service Provider will either repair or exchange the
product at your location. You must provide a suitable working area to allow
disassembly and reassembly of the Lenovo product. For some products, certain
repairs may require your Service Provider to send the product to a designated
service center.

3. Courier or Depot Service

Under Courier or Depot Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at
a designated service center, with shipping arranged by your Service Provider.
You are responsible for disconnecting the product. A shipping container will be
provided to you for you to return your product to a designated service center.
A courier will pick up your product and deliver it to the designated service
center. Following its repair or exchange, the service center will arrange the
return delivery of the product to you.

4. Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service

Under Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service, your product will be repaired or
exchanged at a designated service center, with delivery or shipping arranged
by you. You are responsible to deliver or mail, as your Service Provider
specifies, (prepaid by you unless specified otherwise) the product, suitably
packaged to a designated location. After the product has been repaired or
exchanged, it will be made available for your collection. Failure to collect the
product may result in your Service Provider disposing of the product as it sees
fit. For Mail-in Service, the product will be returned to you at Lenovo’s
expense, unless your Service Provider specifies otherwise.

56 Safety and Warranty Guide

5. Product Exchange Service

Under Product Exchange Service, Lenovo will ship a replacement product to
your location. You are responsible for its installation and verification of its
operation. The replacement product becomes your property in exchange for the
failed product, which becomes the property of Lenovo. You must pack the
failed product in the shipping carton used to ship the replacement product and
return it to Lenovo. Transportation charges, both ways, are paid by Lenovo.
Failure to use the carton in which the replacement product was received may
result in your responsibility for damage to the failed product during shipment.
You may be charged for the replacement product if Lenovo does not receive
the failed product within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the replacement
product.

Chapter 7. Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs)

Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) are computer parts that can be upgraded
or replaced by the customer. There are two types of CRUs: Self-service and
Optional-service. Self-service CRUs are easy to install. They might be
standalone, latched, or require a screwdriver to remove a maximum of two
screws. However, Optional-service CRUs require some technical skills and in
some cases might also require simple tools, such as a screwdriver. However,
both Self-service and Optional-service CRUs are safe for the customer to
remove.

Customers are responsible for replacing all Self-service CRUs. Optional-service
CRUs can be removed and installed by customers or by a Lenovo service
technician during the warranty period. Lenovo desktop computers contain
both Self-service and Optional-service CRUs.

v Self-service CRUs: these CRUs unplug or are secured by no more than two

screws. Examples of these types of CRUs include the keyboard, the mouse,
any USB device, and the power cord. Other Self-service CRUs depending on
product design might include memory modules, adapter cards, hard disk
drives, and optical drives.

v Optional-service CRUs: these CRUs are isolated parts within the computer

and are concealed by an access panel that is typically secured by more than
two screws. Once the access panel is removed, the specific CRU is visible.

v Both types of CRUs are listed in the tables on the following page.

ThinkCentre User Guide and ThinkCentre Hardware Installation and

The
Replacement Guide provide instructions for replacing Self-service and
Optional-service CRUs. Refer to the following tables to determine which
publication contains the instructions you need. To view an online publication,
click Start → All Programs → Online Books → Online Books. Double-click the
appropriate publication. The publications also are available on the Lenovo Web
site at:

Note: Use only computer parts provided by Lenovo. Refer to Chapter 5,
“Lenovo Limited Warranty,” on page 39 for warranty information about the
CRUs for your machine type.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and telephone company requirements

1. This device complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. A label is affixed to the
device that contains, among other things, the FCC registration number,
USOC, and Ringer Equivalency Number (REN) for this equipment. If these
numbers are requested, provide this information to your telephone
company.

Note: If the device is an internal modem, a second FCC registration label
is also provided. You may attach the label to the exterior of the computer in
which you install the Lenovo modem, or you may attach the label to the
external DAA, if you have one. Place the label in a location that is easily
accessible, should you need to provide the label information to the
telephone company.

2. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to
your telephone line and still have those devices ring when your number is
called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices should
not exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect
to your line, as determined by the REN, you should call your local
telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

3. If the device causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company
may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you
in advance; if advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon
as possible. You will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.

Chapitre 1. Consignes de sécurité

Remarque : Veuillez lire en premier les consignes de sécurité.

Ces informations peuvent vous aider à utiliser votre ordinateur personnel de
bureau ou portable en toute sécurité. Suivez et conservez toutes les instructions
fournies avec votre ordinateur. Les informations de ce document ne modifient
pas les dispositions de votre contrat de vente ou de la Déclaration de Garantie
Lenovo. Pour plus d’informations, voir Chapitre 5, «Garantie Lenovo», à la
page 117.

La sécurité des clients est au coeur des préoccupations de Lenovo. Nos
produits sont développés dans une optique de sécurité et d’efficacité.
Cependant, les ordinateurs personnels sont des appareils électroniques. Les
cordons d’alimentation, les blocs d’alimentation et d’autres dispositifs
présentent un danger potentiel pour la sécurité et peuvent provoquer des
blessures ou des dommages matériels, surtout s’ils sont mal utilisés. Pour
réduire ces risques, suivez les instructions accompagnant votre produit,
respectez tous les avertissements figurant sur le produit ainsi que dans les
instructions d’utilisation et lisez soigneusement les informations de ce
document. Ce faisant, vous vous prémunirez contre les risques et vous
renforcerez la sécurité de l’environnement de travail informatique.

Remarque : Ces informations comprennent des références aux blocs
d’alimentation et aux piles et batteries. Outre les ordinateurs personnels
portables, certains produits (tels que des haut-parleurs et des écrans) sont
dotés de blocs d’alimentation externes. Si vous possédez un tel produit, ces
informations sont applicables. En outre, les produits informatiques contiennent
une pile interne de la taille d’une pièce de monnaie qui fournit une
alimentation à l’horloge système même lorsque l’ordinateur est débranché. Les
consignes de sécurité concernant les piles s’appliquent donc à tous les produits
informatiques.

Conditions qui nécessitent une action immédiate

Des produits peuvent être endommagés à la suite d’une mauvaise utilisation
ou d’une négligence. Ces dommages peuvent être trop sérieux pour que le
produit puisse être utilisé tant qu’il n’aura pas été examiné et réparé, le cas
échéant, par un prestataire de services agréé.

Comme avec tout appareil électronique, examinez attentivement le produit
lors de sa mise sous tension. Dans quelques rares cas, vous pourriez
remarquer une odeur, de la fumée ou des étincelles en provenance de votre
produit. Il se peut également que vous entendiez des claquements, des
craquements ou des sifflements. Cela peut signifier simplement qu’un

© Copyright Lenovo 2008 85

composant électronique interne est tombé en panne en mode contrôlé sans
conséquence pour votre sécurité. Mais cela peut aussi indiquer un danger
potentiel. Ne prenez pas de risques et ne tentez pas de diagnostiquer
vous-même l’incident. Pour obtenir de l’assistance, contactez le service
clients. Pour obtenir la liste des numéros de téléphone du support technique
en ligne, voir Chapitre 6, «Liste des numéros de téléphone internationaux», à
la page 137

Inspectez régulièrement votre ordinateur et ses composants pour détecter
tout dommage, signe d’usure ou source de danger. Si vous avez des doutes
sur l’état d’un composant, n’utilisez pas le produit. Prenez contact avec le
centre de support ou avec le fabricant du produit pour savoir comment
diagnostiquer l’incident et, si nécessaire, faites réparer le produit.

Dans l’éventualité peu probable où vous constateriez l’une des
manifestations décrites ci-après, ou en cas d’incidents remettant en cause la
sécurité d’utilisation, cessez d’utiliser le produit et débranchez-le de sa
source d’alimentation et des lignes téléphoniques jusqu’à ce que vous ayez
pu obtenir des instructions du centre de support.

v Cordons d’alimentation, prises, blocs d’alimentation, rallonges, dispositifs de

protection contre les surtensions ou boîtiers d’alimentation fendus, cassés ou
endommagés.

v Signes de surchauffe, fumée, étincelles.
v Pile ou batterie endommagée (par exemple, fentes, bosses ou plis), décharge

en provenance d’une pile ou d’une batterie ou accumulation de substances
étrangères sur une pile.

v Craquement, sifflement, bruit sec ou odeur forte émanant du produit.
v Signes que du liquide a été renversé ou qu’un objet est tombé sur

l’ordinateur, le cordon d’alimentation ou le bloc d’alimentation.

v Exposition de l’ordinateur, du cordon d’alimentation ou du bloc

d’alimentation à l’eau.

v Chute du produit ou tout autre dommage.
v Le produit ne fonctionne pas correctement lorsque vous suivez les

instructions d’utilisation.

Remarque

: Si vous constatez l’une de ces manifestations au niveau d’un

produit non Lenovo (par exemple, un prolongateur), cessez de l’utiliser tant
que vous n’avez pas obtenu d’instructions auprès du fabricant ou que vous
n’avez pas obtenu de pièce de rechange.

Consignes générales de sécurité

Respectez toujours les précautions ci-après pour réduire les risques de blessure
ou de dommages matériels.

Maintenance et mises à niveau

Ne tentez pas de réparer un produit vous-même, à moins d’y avoir été invité
par le centre de support ou la documentation. Faites uniquement appel à un
prestataire de services ayant reçu l’agrément pour réparer ce produit en
particulier.

Remarque : Certains composants de l’ordinateur peuvent être mis à niveau ou
remplacés par le client. Les mises à niveau sont généralement appelées des
options. Les composants de rechange dont l’installation par le client est
approuvée sont appelés des unités remplaçables par le client, ou CRU. Lenovo
fournit une documentation qui contient des instructions indiquant dans quels
cas le client peut installer des options ou remplacer des CRU. Vous devez
suivre scrupuleusement toutes les instructions lorsque vous installez ou
remplacez des composants. L’extinction d’un voyant d’alimentation ne signifie
pas nécessairement que les niveaux de tension à l’intérieur d’un produit sont
nuls. Avant d’effectuer la dépose des carters d’un produit équipé d’un cordon
d’alimentation, vérifiez toujours que l’alimentation est coupée et que le produit
est débranché de toute source d’alimentation. Pour plus d’informations sur les
unités remplaçables par l’utilisateur, voir le Guide d’installation et de
remplacement d’options matérielles de ce produit. Si vous avez des questions ou
des doutes, adressez-vous au centre de support.

Bien qu’il n’y ait plus de pièce en mouvement dans votre ordinateur une fois
le cordon d’alimentation débranché, les avertissements suivants sont requis
pour votre sécurité.

DANGER

Pièces en mouvement dangereuses. Evitez tout contact avec les doigts et
toute autre partie du corps.

Si l’électricité statique est inoffensive pour votre santé, elle risque en revanche
de causer des dommages importants aux composants et options de votre
ordinateur. Une manipulation incorrecte de composants sensibles à l’électricité
statique risque de causer de les endommager. Lorsque vous déballez une
option ou une CRU, n’ouvrez pas l’emballage antistatique qui contient le
composant avant que les instructions ne vous demandent de l’installer.

Lorsque vous manipulez des options ou des CRU, ou que vous réalisez des
interventions à l’intérieur de l’ordinateur, prenez les précautions suivantes afin
d’éviter les dommages liés à l’électricité statique :

v Limitez vos mouvements, car ceux-ci provoquent une accumulation

d’électricité statique.

v Manipulez toujours les composants avec précaution. Manipulez les cartes,

modules mémoire et autres cartes à circuits imprimés en les tenant par les
bords. Ne touchez jamais directement des circuits.

v Empêchez toute autre personne de toucher les composants.
v Lorsque vous installez une option ou une CRU sensible à l’électricité

statique, mettez l’emballage antistatique du composant en contact avec le
carter d’un logement d’extension en métal ou toute autre surface métallique
non peinte de l’ordinateur pendant au moins deux secondes. Cela permet de
dissiper l’électricité statique présente dans l’emballage et votre corps.

v Lorsque cela est possible, retirez le composant de son emballage antistatique

au dernier moment et installez-le sans le poser. Sinon, posez-le sur son
emballage antistatique, sur une surface plane et lisse.

v Ne mettez pas le composant en contact avec le carter de l’ordinateur ou

toute autre surface métallique.
