Chapter 3. General checkout
This chapter introduces following information:
• “What to do first” on page 23
• “Checkout guide” on page 24
• “Power system checkout” on page 26
Before you go to the checkout guide, be sure to read the following important notes.
Important:
•
Only certified trained personnel should service the computer.
•
Before replacing any FRU, read the entire page on removing and replacing FRUs.
•
When you replace FRUs, use new nylon-coated screws.
•
Be extremely careful during such write operations as copying, saving, or formatting.
•
Replace a FRU only with another FRU of the correct model.
When you replace a FRU, ensure that the
model of the machine and the FRU part number are correct by referring to the FRU parts list.
•
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.
•
Be careful not to replace a non-defective FRU.
What to do first
When you do return a FRU, you must include the following information in the parts exchange form or parts
return form that you attach to it:
1. Name and phone number of service technician
2. Date of service
3. Date on which the machine failed
4. Date of purchase
5. Failing FRU name and part number
6. Machine type, model number, and serial number
7. Customer's name and address
