Important notes
v Only certified trained personnel should service the computer.
v Before replacing any FRU, read the entire page on removing and
replacing FRUs.
v When you replace FRUs, use new nylon-coated screws.
v Be extremely careful during such write operations as copying, saving, or
formatting. Drives in the computer that you are servicing sequence might
have been altered. If you select an incorrect drive, data or programs might
be overwritten.
v Replace a FRU only with another FRU of the correct model. When you
replace a FRU, make sure that the model of the machine and the FRU part
number are correct by referring to the FRU parts list.
v A 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 a FRU only when a
problem recurs. If you suspect that a FRU is defective, clear the error log
and run the test again. If the error does not recur, do not replace the FRU.
v Be careful not to replace a nondefective FRU.
