Introduction Important service information Important BIOS and device driver fixes are customer-installable. The BIOS and device drivers are posted on the customer support site http://www.lenovo.com/ support Advise customers to contact the Customer Support Center at 800-426-7378 if they need assistance in obtaining or installing any software fixes, drivers, and BIOS downloads. Customers in Canada should call the Customer Support Center at 800-565-3344 for assistance or download information. Strategy for replacing FRUs Before replacing parts Make sure that all software fixes, drivers, and BIOS downloads are installed before replacing any FRUs listed in this manual. After a system board is replaced, ensure that the latest BIOS is loaded to the system board before completing the service action. To download software fixes, drivers, and BIOS, do as follows: 1. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support 2. Enter the product number of the computer or press Auto-detect button on the screen. 3. Select Downloads and drivers. 4. Follow the directions on the screen and install the necessary software. Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary expense for replacing and servicing FRUs: v If you are instructed to replace a FRU but the replacement does not correct the problem, reinstall the original FRU before you continue. v Some computers have both a processor board and a system board. If you are instructed to replace either the processor board or the system board, and replacing one of them does not correct the problem, reinstall that board, and then replace the other one. v 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. © Copyright Lenovo 2006, 2008 3

Make
sure
that
all

strategy
to
prevent
unnecessary
expense
for
replacing
and
servicing
FRUs:
v
If
you
are
instructed
to
replace
a
FRU
but
the

does
not
correct
the
problem,
reinstall
the
original
