4.1 General
CAUTION:
1. Before replacing a component, make sure that the replacement component meets the
required specifications. To avoid computer failures, never use components that do not
meet the specifications.
2. To avoid internal damage such as short circuits and fire, never drop metal objects
such as screws, pins, paper clips, etc. into the components. When a screw is removed,
be sure to replace a screw that is the same size as the original screw. Make sure that
all the screws are fastened securely. Loose screws can cause short circuits,
overheating, smoke, or fire.
3. Before raising a FRU or other component, make sure that all the component cables
have been disconnected to avoid the risk of electrical shock caused by accidental
contact with the energized components.
4. For AC input, be sure to use the AC adapter and AC power cable that come with your
computer or Toshiba-recommended equivalents.
5. To avoid the risk of electrical shock, make sure that all the replacement components
meet the specifications of the computer and that all the cables and connectors are
fastened securely.
6. Inside the PC are components that become hot during operation (such as the CPU
and cooling module). To avoid burns, let the hot components cool down before
starting inspection or repair task.
