FRU Removals and Replacements
This section contains information about removals and
replacements.
Do not damage any part. Only certified and 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 the failing FRU is removed,
they are listed at the top of the page.

See 'Locations' for internal cable connections and
arrangement information.

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.

required by local ordinances or regulations.
Attention: 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 short circuits.
