The most recent version of this document is available at http://www.lenovo.com/support. Before servicing a Lenovo product, be sure to read the Safety Information. See Chapter 2 “Safety information” on page 3. Important Safety Information Be sure to read all caution and danger statements in this book before performing any of the instructions.
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 in the EU. Products sold in 2005, will contain some RoHS compliant FRUs. The following statement pertains to these products and any product Lenovo produces containing RoHS compliant parts.
This section contains information for trained service technicians. Inspecting for unsafe conditions Use the information in this section to help you identify potential unsafe conditions in a Lenovo product that you are working on. Each Lenovo product, as it was designed and manufactured, has required safety items to protect users and service technicians from injury.
• Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles that are covered with a soft material that does not provide insulation from live electrical currents. • Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition. Do not use worn or broken tools or testers.

• Repair or disassemble Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations. Statement 3 CAUTION: When laser products (such as CD-ROMs, DVD drives, fiber optic devices, or transmitters) are installed, note the following: ThinkServer RD210 Hardware Maintenance Manual...
Page 15
• Do not remove the covers. Removing the covers of the laser product could result in exposure to hazardous laser radiation. There are no serviceable parts inside the device. • Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Diagnosing a problem Before you contact Lenovo or an approved warranty service provider, follow these procedures in the order in which they are presented to diagnose a problem with your server: 1. Determine what has changed.Determine whether any of the following items were added, removed, replaced, or updated before the problem occurred: •...
Page 24
To display a list of available updates for your server, go to http://www.lenovo.com/support and complete the following steps. Note: Changes are made periodically to the Lenovo Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document.
If you have completed the diagnostic procedure and the problem remains, the problem might not have been previously identified by Lenovo. After you have verified that all code is at the latest level, all hardware and software configurations are valid, and no light path diagnostics LEDs or log entries indicate a hardware component failure, contact Lenovo or an approved warranty service provider for assistance.
Make sure that the server has the latest version of the diagnostic programs. To download the latest version, complete the following steps. Note: Changes are made periodically to the Lenovo Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document.
2. To view the EasyLED panel, slide the latch to the left on the front of the EasyLED drawer. This reveals the EasyLED panel. Lit LEDs on this panel indicate the type of error that has occurred. The following illustration shows the EasyLED panel: ThinkServer RD210 Hardware Maintenance Manual...
Note any LEDs that are lit, and then close the drawer. Look at the system service label on the top of the server, which gives an overview of internal components that correspond to the LEDs on the EasyLED panel. This information and the information in “EasyLED” on page 20 can often provide enough information to diagnose the error.

CAUTION: When replacing the lithium battery, use only a battery recommended by the manufacturer. If your system has a module containing a lithium battery, replace it only with the same module type made by the same manufacturer. The battery contains lithium and can explode if not properly used, handled, or disposed of.
To download firmware updates for your server, complete the following steps: Note: Changes are made periodically to the Lenovo Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document.
• When you are finished working on the server, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. • For a list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.lenovo.com/thinkserver. System reliability guidelines...
• Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame. • Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry. • Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it. • While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the server for at least 2 seconds.
