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

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
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,
v The PEW record is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = "CTO"
v eSupport will show both the CTO and CMV machine type models (Example:
v The HMM will have the 4-digit MT and 3-digit CTO model only (Example:
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.
