FRU Removals and Replacements
This section contains information about removals and
replacements.
Do not damage any parts. 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 removing
the failing FRU, they are listed at the top of the page.
To replace a FRU, reverse the removal procedure
and follow any notes that pertain to replacement.
See “Locations” for internal cable connections and
arrangement information.
When replacing a FRU, use the correct screw size as
shown in the procedures.
