Technician Notes

! WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by Compaq should repair this
equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow
only subassembly/module level repair. Because of the complexity of the
individual boards and subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs
at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board.
Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. Any indication of component
replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void any warranty or
exchange allowances.
! WARNING: The computer is designed to be electrically grounded. To ensure
proper operation, plug the AC power cord into a properly grounded electrical
outlet only.
CAUTION: To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at least 3
inches (7.62 cm) of clearance on the left and right sides of the computer.
