Overview This guide is intended to be used by customers who are replacing Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) as well as trained service personnel who are replacing Field Replaceable Units (FRUs). In this guide, CRUs and FRUs will often be referred to as parts. Note Trained service personnel should refer to the Hardware Maintenance Manual (HMM) for parts ordering information. This guide does not include procedures for all parts.
Safety information for replacing FRUs Do not attempt any repair before reading the “Important safety information” in the Hardware Maintenance Manual (HMM) for the computer.

• Prevent others from touching the parts and other computer components. • Before you replace a new part, touch the static-protective package containing the part to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body. • When possible, remove the new part from the static-protective packaging, and install it directly in the computer without setting the part down.
