Safety information Electrical safety Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipments. Important: Use only approved tools and test equipments. Some hand tools have handles covered with a soft material that does not insulate you when working with live electrical currents. Many customers have rubber floor mats near their machines that contain small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use such kind of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock. • Find the room emergency power‐off (EPO) switch, disconnecting the switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then operate the switch or unplug the power cord quickly. • Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near the equipment that has hazardous voltages. • Disconnect all power before: – Performing a mechanical inspection – Working near power supplies – Removing or installing main units • Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the customer to power‐off the wall box that supplies power to the machine, and to lock the wall box in the off position. • If you need to work on a machine that has exposed electrical circuits, observe the following precautions: – Ensure that another person, familiar with the power‐off controls, is near you. Attention: Another person must be there to switch off the power, if necessary. – Use only one hand when working with powered‐on electrical equipment; keep the other hand in your pocket or behind your back.

Important service information Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary expense for replacing and servicing FRUs: • If you are instructed to replace an FRU, but the replacement does not solve the problem, reinstall the original FRU before you continue. • Some computers have both a processor board and a system board. If you are instructed to replace either of them, and replacing one of them does not solve the problem, reinstall that board, and then replace the other one. • If an adapter or a device consists of more than one FRU, any of the FRUs may be the cause of the error. Before replacing the adapter or device, remove the FRUs one by one to see if the symptoms change. Replace only the FRU that changed the symptoms. Attention: The setup configuration on the computer you are servicing may have been customized. Running Automatic Configuration may alter the settings. Note the current configuration settings (using the View Configuration option); then, when service has been completed, verify that those settings remain in effect. Important notice for replacing a system board Some components mounted on a system board are very sensitive. Improper handling can cause damage to those components, and may cause a system malfunction. Attention: When handling a system board: • Do not drop the system board or apply any excessive force to it. • Avoid rough handling of any kind. • Avoid bending the system board and hard pushing to prevent cracking at each BGA (Ball Grid Array) chipset.
