FRU Replacement Strategy

Before Replacing Parts Ensure that all diskette fixes are installed prior to replacing any FRUs listed in this manual. Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary FRU replacement and service expense: If you are instructed to replace a FRU and that does not correct the problem, reinstall the original FRU before you continue. 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 the first board that you replaced does not correct the problem, reinstall the original board, then replace the other (processor or system) board. If an adapter or device consists of more than one FRU, an error code may be caused by any of the FRUs. 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 IBM Corp. 1999
Attention A customized setup configuration (other than default settings) may exist on the computer you are servicing. Running Automatic Configuration may alter those settings. Note the current configuration settings (using the View Configuration option) and verify that the settings are in place when service is complete.
Hard Disk Drive Replacement Strategy:
Always try to run a low-level format before replacing a hard disk drive. Attention The drive startup sequence in the computer you are servicing might have been changed. Be extremely careful during write operations such as copying, saving, or formatting. Data or programs can be overwritten if you select an incorrect drive.
How to Use Error Messages: Use the error
codes displayed on the screen to diagnose failures. If more than one error code is displayed, begin the diagnosis with the first error code. The cause of the first error code can result in false error codes being displayed. If no error code is displayed, see if the error symptom is listed in the Symptom-to-FRU Index for the computer you are servicing.

How to Read POST Error Messages: POST error messages are displayed on the screen as three, four, five, or eight digits. The error messages that can be displayed as shorter POST messages are highlighted in this index. Some digits will represent different information for SCSI errors versus non-SCSI errors.
The following example shows which digits display the shorter POST error messages and also defines the SCSI information in an eight-digit error message.
Shorter POST Messages """"""""""""""""""""" " " " " " """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" " " " " " " " " " """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" " " " " " " " " Reserved " " " " " " Size (SCSI) """"""""""" " " Slot Number (SCSI) Device Code " Logical Unit Number (SCSI) ID (SCSI)
All SCSI devices are set to a different SCSI ID. Duplicate SCSI ID settings can generate a false error message. Use the SCSI ID to determine whether the error message is coming from an internal or an external device.

Safety Notice 8 Before removing any FRU, power-off the computer, unplug all power cords from electrical outlets, remove the battery pack, then disconnect any interconnecting cables. Avant de retirer une unit remplaable en clientle, mettez le systme hors tension, dbranchez tous les cordons d'alimentation des socles de prise de courant, retirez la batterie et dconnectez tous les cordons d'interface. Die Stromzufuhr mu abgeschaltet, alle Stromkabel aus der Steckdose gezogen, der Akku entfernt und alle Verbindungskabel abgenommen sein, bevor eine FRU entfernt wird. Prima di rimuovere qualsiasi FRU, spegnere il sistema, scollegare dalle prese elettriche tutti i cavi di alimentazione, rimuovere la batteria e poi scollegare i cavi di interconnessione. Antes de quitar una FRU, apague el sistema, desenchufe todos los cables de las tomas de corriente elctrica, quite la batera y, a continuacin, desconecte cualquier cable de conexin entre dispositivos.

Safety Information

The following section contains the safety information that you need to be familiar with before servicing an IBM mobile computer.
General Safety: Follow these rules to ensure
general safety: Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance. When lifting any heavy object: 1. Ensure you can stand safely without slipping. 2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet. 3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to lift. 4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any objects that weigh more than 16 kg (35 lb) or objects that you think are too heavy for you. Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or that makes the equipment unsafe. Before you start the machine, ensure that other service representatives and the customer's personnel are not in a hazardous position.
Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you are servicing the machine. Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over it. Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a machine. Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it. Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a nonconductive clip, approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end. Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your clothing. Attention: Metal objects are good electrical conductors. Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling soldering, cutting wire, attaching springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes. After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety device that is worn or defective. Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the customer.

Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the machine, the part, the work mat, and the person handling the part are all at the same charge. Notes 1. Use product-specific ESD procedures when they exceed the requirements noted here. 2. Make sure that the ESD protective devices you use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effective. When handling ESD-sensitive parts: Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product. Avoid contact with other people. Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body. Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when you are wearing a wrist strap. Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface. The mat is especially useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices. Select a grounding system, such as those listed below, to provide protection that meets the specific service requirement. Note The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect against ESD damage. Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire ground. Use an ESD common ground or reference point when working on a double-insulated or battery-operated system. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these systems. Use the round ground-prong of the AC plug on AC-operated computers.
Grounding Requirements: Electrical grounding of
the computer is required for operator safety and correct system function. Proper grounding of the electrical outlet can be verified by a certified electrician.
Laser Compliance Statement
Some IBM Personal Computer models are equipped from the factory with a CD-ROM drive. CD-ROM drives are also sold separately as options. The CD-ROM drive is a laser product. The CD-ROM drive is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of the Department of Health and Human Services 21 Code of Federal Regulations (DHHS 21 CFR) Subchapter J for Class 1 laser products.
Elsewhere, the drive is certified to conform to the requirements of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 825 and CENELEC EN for Class 1 laser products. When a CD-ROM drive is installed, note the following.

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure. O uso de controles, ajustes ou desempenho de procedimentos diferentes daqueles aqui especificados pode resultar em perigosa exposio radiao.

Read This First

Before you go to the checkout guide, be sure to read this section. Important Notes Only certified trained personnel should service the computer. Read the entire FRU removal and replacement page before replacing any FRU. Use new nylon-coated screws when you replace FRUs. Be extremely careful during such write operations as copying, saving, or formatting. Drives in the computer that you are servicing might have been rearranged, or the drive startup sequence might have been altered. If you select an incorrect drive, data or programs might be overwritten. Replace FRUs only for the correct model. When you replace a FRU, make sure the model of the machine and FRU part number are correct by referring to the FRU parts list. A FRU should not be replaced because of a single, unreproducible failure. Single failures can occur from a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware defect, such as: cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement should be considered only when a recurring problem exists. If this is suspected, clear the error log and run the test again. Do not replace any FRUs if log errors do not reappear. Be careful not to replace a nondefective FRU.

UUID: The Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID) is a
128-bit number uniquely assigned to your computer at production and stored in the EEPROM of your system board. The algorithm that generates the unique number is designed to provide unique IDs until the year A.D. 3400. Consequently, no two computers in the world have the same number. When you replace the system board, you must set the UUID on the new system board as follows: 1. Press and hold F1 and power on the computer. 2. Hold down F1 until the Easy-Setup menu appears. 3. Click on Config. General Descriptions
4. Press Ctrl + G. The UUID menu appears. 5. Press F5 to generate a new UUID, and press Enter to overwrite it to EEPROM.
CPU Card Replacement Notice (600E and 770X Only)
You must restore the CPU card serial number to its original number, when the CPU card is replaced. To save and restore the CPU card serial number, follow the instruction in Serial Numbers on page 20.
DC-DC Card Replacement Notice (770X Only)
You must restore the DC-DC card serial number to its original number, when the DC-DC card is replaced. To save and restore the DC-DC card serial number, follow the instruction in Serial Numbers on page 20.
Related Service Information
This section provides information about the following: How to Use Error Messages How to Diagnose Multiple FRUs Reset Switch Running a Low-Level Format Service Web Site on page 24 Passwords on page 24 Power Management Features on page 25 Fn Key Combinations on page 29
How to Use Error Messages
Use the error codes displayed on the screen to diagnose failures. If more than one error code is displayed, begin the diagnosis with the first error code. Whatever caused the first error code can result in false error codes being displayed. If no error code is displayed, see if the error symptom is listed in the Symptom-to FRU Index section.
How to Diagnose Multiple FRUs
When the adapter or device has more than one FRU, the error code could be caused by any of them. Before replacing multiple FRUs, try removing or exchanging each FRU, one by one in the designated sequence, to see if the symptoms change.

Reset Switch

The Reset switch resets the system (regardless of the microcode status) and forces the power off. Use this push button to power off when power is not completely off or the microcode is in a hung state. See the Locations section of each model for Reset switch location.

Service Web Site

When the latest maintenance diskette and the system program service diskette are available, they will be posted on: Maintenance diskette: http://www.pc.ibm.com/files/searchfiles.html (search for either MAINTENANCE or MAINT150) System program service diskette: http://pccbbs.raleigh.ibm.com/

Passwords

When the power-on password (POP), hard disk password (HDP), and supervisor password (PAP) are used, the following situations may occur:
If the POP is the same as the HDP, the POP prompt appears, but the HDP prompt does not appear. If the POP is not the same as the HDP, both prompts appear. The PAP and the HDP: If the PAP is used, the HDP is enabled automatically, but no HDP prompt appears. The HDP is set the same as the PAP.
The ThinkPad computer that has the bay can support more than two HDPs. If the POP is the same as one of the HDPs (HDP-1 or HDP-2), a POP prompt appears. The passwords are different. If the POP is not the same as either of the HDPs (HDP-1 or HDP-2):, both prompts appear. If the PAP is used, the HDP-1 or the HDP-2 is automatically enabled, but the HDP prompt does not appear. The HDP-1 and HDP-2 are then set to the same password as the PAP.

Supervisor and Hard Disk Passwords: The
supervisor password and the hard disk password (HDP) are security features that are used to protect the system and the hard disk data from unauthorized access. No overriding capability is provided. If only a hard disk password is set, obtaining permission from the password owner to unlock the password is a prerequisite for running diagnostic tests and performing service. If both supervisor password and hard disk password are set, you can enter Easy-Setup by pressing the Enter key or by entering the
power-on password at the supervisor password prompt. In this case, the Password, Start up, Network, and Initialize or Asset ID (for some models) icons cannot be selected. Note: The supervisor password and hard disk password cannot be replaced if they are forgotten. If the customer forgets the supervisor password, the system board must be replaced. If the customer forgets the hard disk password, the hard disk drive must be replaced.
How to Remove the Power-On Passwords:
If only the power-on password is set, do the following to remove the power-on password. 1. Power off the computer 2. Remove the DIMM cover on the bottom side of the computer. 3. Short-circuit the two password pads or put the jumper. For the location of the password pads or jumper, see the Locations section for each model. 4. Under the short-circuit condition, power on the computer and wait until the POST ends. After the POST ends, the password prompt does not appear. The power-on password is removed. 5. Reinstall the DIMM cover. If both the power-on password and the supervisor password are set, do the following to remove the passwords: 1. Power on the computer by pressing and holding F1. 2. Enter the supervisor password. The Easy-Setup menu appears. 3. Click on the Password icon. 4. Click on the Power on icon. 5. Enter the supervisor password and press the Space bar. 6. Press Enter twice. 7. Click on Exit; then click on Restart. The power-on password has been removed.

Modem (DSP) Checkout

Note: This section is for the built-in modem model. Do the following: 1. Go to the diagnostic menu by selecting Test in the Easy-Setup menu. 2. Select DSP and run the diagnostic tests. 3. If the test detects a DSP problem, replace the modem card.

Port Replicator Checkout

Use the following procedure to isolate a port replicator problem. The port replicator attaches to the system expansion connector at the rear of the computer: 1. Power off the computer. 2. Remove the failing devices from the port replicator. 3. Unplug the AC Adapter from the port replicator, if attached. 4. Remove the port replicator from the computer. 5. Reconnect the failing device directly to the computer. (If another device is already connected to the computer, remove it first.) 6. Go to the Running the Diagnostics on page 39 and run the diagnostics. 7. If the advanced diagnostic device test did not find an error, suspect a problem with the port replicator. 8. Power off the computer and reconnect the port replicator. 9. Power on the computer and run the following advanced diagnostic tests: Serial port test with the wrap plug installed on the port replicator Universal serial bus test with the USB parallel test cable Parallel port test with the wrap plug installed on the port replicator FDD-2 device test on the failing device with a scratch diskette 10. If diagnostic errors appear, replace the port replicator or the diskette drive. If the problem remains after the replacement, replace the system board. 11. If power problems appear only when the port replicator is used, replace the port replicator.
Port Replicator Power Overload: If power shutdown occurs intermittently when PC Card devices are used through a port replicator with PC Card slots, suspect an over-current problem. Some PC Card devices use more power; if the maximum usage of each device occurs simultaneously, the total current will exceed the limit, thereby causing a power shutdown. Isolate this problem by removing one of the devices, use the computer under the same condition, and see whether a power shutdown occurs. Do this procedure for all devices to determine the cause.

Diagnostic Error Codes

If an error is detected, the following appears: Large X on the left side of the device icon. Device ID (three digits). Error code (two digits). FRU code (four digits).
The device ID and error code indicate the detailed portion of the FRU that caused the error. If replacing a FRU does not correct the problem, see the device ID or error code from the previous failure. If they have changed, the cause might be that the new FRU is defective or that the FRU was incorrectly installed.
Device ID: If an error is detected by the diagnostic tests, a three-digit device ID is displayed, indicating the suspected device.
