FRU removals and replacements
FRU removals and replacements
This section presents information and drawings for use in
removing and replacing a FRU. Be sure to observe the
following general rules:
1. Do not try to service the computer unless you have
been trained and certified. An untrained person runs
the risk of damaging parts.
2. Before replacing any FRU, review “FRU replacement
notices” on page 33.
3. Begin by removing any FRUs that have to be
removed before the failing FRU. Any such FRUs are
listed at the top of the page. Remove them in the
orders in which they are listed.
4. Follow the correct sequence in the steps for removing
the FRU, as indicated in the drawings by the numbers
in square callouts.
5. When turning a screw to replace a FRU, turn it in the
direction indicated by the arrow in the drawing.
6. When removing the FRU, move it in the direction
indicated by the arrow in the drawing.
7. To put the new FRU in place, reverse the removal
procedure and follow any notes that pertain to
replacement. For information about connecting and
arranging internal cables, see “Locations” on
page 65.
8. When replacing a FRU, use the correct screw as
shown in the procedures.
Caution
Before removing any FRU, power off the computer,
unplug all power cords from electrical outlets, remove
the battery pack, and then disconnect any
interconnecting cables.
Caution
The battery pack contains small amounts of nickel.
Do not disassemble it, throw it into fire or water, or
short-circuit it. Dispose of the battery pack as
required by local ordinances or regulations.
Attention
Before the computer is powered on after FRU
replacement, make sure all screws, springs, and other
small parts are in place and are not loose inside the
computer. Verify this by shaking the computer gently
and listening for rattling sounds. Metallic parts or
metal flakes can cause electrical short circuits.
