Lenovo ThinkCentre A52 Hardware Maintenance Manual - Page 10

So, if the parts are not compliant originally, replacement parts can also be noncompliant, but in all cases, if the parts are compliant, the replacement parts must also be compliant. Lenovo plans to transition to RoHS compliance well before the implementation date and expects its suppliers to be ready to support Lenovo's requirements and schedule. Products sold in 2005, will contain some RoHS compliant FRUs. The following statement pertains to these products and any product Lenovo produces containing RoHS compliant parts. RoHS compliant ThinkCentre parts have unique FRU part numbers. Before or after June, 2006, failed RoHS compliant parts must always be replaced using RoHS compliant FRUs, so only the FRUs identified as compliant in the system HMM or direct substitutions for those FRUs can be used. Products marketed before June 2006 Current or original Replacement FRU part Non-RoHS Can be Non-RoHS Non-RoHS Can be RoHS Non-RoHS Can sub to RoHS RoHS Must be RoHS Products marketed after June 2006 Current or original Replacement FRU part Must be RoHS Must be RoHS Note: A direct substitution is a part with a different FRU part number that is automatically shipped by the distribution center at the time of order.
