FRU Removals and Replacements
This section contains information about removals and
replacements.
The system board is sensitive to, and can be
damaged by, electrostatic discharge. Establish
personal grounding by touching a ground point with
one hand before touching these units.
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap must be used
to establish personal grounding.
Do not damage any part. Only certified trained
personnel should service the computer.
The arrows in the "Removals and Replacements"
section show the direction of movement to remove a
FRU, or to turn a screw to release the FRU. The
arrows are marked in numeric order, in square
callouts, to show the correct sequence of removal.
When other FRUs must be removed before removing
the failing FRU, they are listed at the top of the page.
To replace a FRU, reverse the removal procedure
and follow any notes that pertain to replacement.
See "Locations" for internal cable connections and
arrangement information.
When replacing a FRU, use the correct screw size as
shown in the procedures.

required by local ordinances or regulations.
Safety Notice 1: Translation on page 7
Before the computer is powered-on after FRU
replacement, make sure all screws, springs, or other
small parts, are in place and are not left loose inside
the computer. Verify this by shaking the computer
and listening for rattling sounds. Metallic parts or
metal flakes can cause electrical shorts.
