information. Hardware errors are also indicated by LEDs on the system board (see "System-board

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 LEDs or log entries indicate a hardware
component failure, contact Lenovo or an approved warranty service provider for assistance. Be prepared
to provide information about any error codes and collected data and the problem determination
procedures that you have used.
