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
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 ensure
that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source. If you have any
questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support Center.
Although there are no moving parts in the computer after the power cord has been disconnected, the
following warnings are required for your safety.
http://www.lenovo.com/UserManuals.
CAUTION:
Keep fingers and other parts of your body away from hazardous, moving parts. If you suffer an injury,
seek medical care immediately.
CAUTION:
Avoid contact with hot components inside the computer. During operation, some components
become hot enough to burn the skin. Before you open the computer cover, turn off the computer,
disconnect power, and wait ten minutes for the components to cool.
CAUTION:
After replacing a CRU, reinstall all protective covers, including the computer cover, before connecting
power and operating the computer. This action is important to help prevent unexpected electrical
shock and help ensure the containment of an unexpected fire that could happen under extremely rare
conditions.
When replacing CRUs, be cautious of sharp edges or corners that might cause injury. If you suffer an
injury, seek medical care immediately.
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:
• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
• Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules, and other circuit boards by the
edges. Never touch exposed circuitry.
• Prevent others from touching components.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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. Do not use the ac
power cord for other devices.
The power cords shall be safety approved. For Germany, it shall be H03VV-F, 3G, 0.75 mm

connected to the power adapter), H05VV-F, 3G, 0.75 mm
(the power cord connected to the internal power
supply assembly), 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.
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.

Arranging your workspace
Arrange your workspace to suit your needs and the kind of work you do. This section provides information
about the factors that affect the way you arrange your workspace.
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 screen. When possible,
place the monitor at right angles to windows and other light sources. If necessary, reduce overhead lighting
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.
The computer produces heat. The computer has a fan that pulls in fresh air and forces out hot air through the
air vents. Blocking the air vents can cause overheating, which might result in a malfunction or damage.
Position the computer so that nothing blocks the air vents; usually, 51 mm (2 inches) of air space is sufficient.
Ensure that the vented air is not blowing on people.
Electrical outlet locations and cable lengths
The following factors might determine the final placement of the computer:
• Locations of electrical outlets
• Length of power cords or power adapters
• Length of the cables that are connected to other devices
For more information about power cords or power adapters, see “Power cords and power adapters” on page

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. The following figure sets an example for your reference.
• Screen position: Keep the screen at a comfortable viewing distance, usually 51-61 cm (20-24 inches).
Then, adjust the screen so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level and you can view it
without twisting your body.
• Chair position: Use a chair that gives you good back support and seat height adjustment. Use chair
adjustments to best suit your desired posture.
• Head position: Keep your head and neck in a comfortable and neutral (vertical or upright) position.
• Arm and hand positions: Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed and neutral (horizontal)
position. Type with a soft touch without pounding the keys.
• Leg position: Keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest.
Make minor modifications in your working posture to deter the onset of discomfort caused by long periods of
working in the same position. Frequent, short breaks from your work also help to prevent minor discomfort
associated with your working posture.

Chapter 6.Replacing hardware
This chapter provides instructions on how to replace hardware for your computer.
Before replacing hardware
Attention: Do not open the computer or attempt any repair before reading and understanding “Read this
first: Important safety information” on page iii in this document.
Notes before replacing hardware
• Use computer components provided only by Lenovo.
• When installing or replacing an option, use the appropriate instructions explained in this manual along with
the instructions that come with the option.
• In most areas of the world, Lenovo requires the return of defective CRUs. Information about this will come
with the CRU or will come a few days after the CRU arrives.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Do not open the static-protective package containing the new part until the defective part has been removed
and you are ready to install the new part. Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage
computer components and options.
When you handle options and other computer components, take these precautions to avoid static-electricity
damage:
• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
• Always handle options and other computer components carefully. Handle PCI/PCIe cards, memory
modules, system boards, and microprocessors by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.
• Prevent others from touching the options and other computer components.
• 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 from the
package and your body before you install or replace a new part.
• When possible, remove the new part from the static-protective package, and install it directly in the
computer without setting the part down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective package on
a smooth, level surface and place the part on the package.
• Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.
Knowing FRUs (including CRUs)
• Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) are computer parts that a trained technician can upgrade or replace. FRUs
include all CRUs. For detailed FRU information, such as the FRU part numbers and supported computer
models, go to:
http://www.lenovo.com/serviceparts-lookup
• Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) are computer parts that a user can upgrade or replace.
– Self-service CRUs: You can install self-service CRUs easily. These CRUs might be stand-alone,
latched, or secured by up to two screws. Examples of self-service CRUs include the keyboard, mouse,
any USB device. You are responsible for replacing all self-service CRUs.
– Optional-service CRUs: Handling optional-service CRUs requires some technical skills and simple tools
(such as a screwdriver). These CRUs are isolated parts within the computer. They are usually
concealed by an access panel that is secured by more than two screws. You must remove the screws
and panel to access the specific CRU. Optional-service CRUs can be removed and installed by users
or, during the warranty period, by a Lenovo service technician.
Before replacing FRUs
Before replacing any FRU, read the following:
• Only certified and trained personnel can service the computer.
• Before replacing an FRU, read the entire section about replacing the part.
• Be extremely careful during writing operations such as copying, saving, or formatting.
The sequence of the drives in the computer that you are servicing might have been altered. If you select
an incorrect drive, data or programs might be overwritten.
• Replace an FRU only with another FRU of the correct model.
When you replace an FRU, ensure that the model of the machine and the FRU part number are correct.
• An FRU should not be replaced because of a single, unreproducible failure.
Single failures can occur for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware defect, such as
cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. Consider replacing an FRU only when a
problem recurs. If you suspect that an FRU is defective, clear the error log and run the test again. If the
error does not recur, do not replace the FRU.
• Only replace a defective FRU.
