Technician Notes 

Only technicians authorized by NEC Computers International BV should attempt to repair this equipment. All 
troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow only subassembly/module level repair. Because of the 
complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs at the component 
level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. Any 
indication of component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void any warranty or exchange 
allowances.
