							  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 customers 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.
   Introduction

							  Electrical Safety
Observe the following rules when working on electrical
equipment.
 Important 
Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some
hand tools have handles covered with a soft material
that does not insulate you when working with live
electrical currents.
Many customers have, near their equipment, rubber
floor mats that contain small conductive fibers to
decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use this
type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock.

Find the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch,
disconnecting switch, or electrical outlet. If an
electrical accident occurs, you can then operate the
switch or unplug the power cord quickly.

Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or
near equipment that has hazardous voltages.

Disconnect all power before:
–Performing a mechanical inspection
–Working near power supplies
–Removing or installing main units

Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the
power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the customer
to power-off the wall box that supplies power to the
machine and to lock the wall box in the off position.

If you need to work on a machine that has exposed
electrical circuits, observe the following precautions:
–Ensure that another person, familiar with the
power-off controls, is near you.
Attention:Another person must be there to
switch off the power, if necessary.
–Use only one hand when working with
powered-on electrical equipment; keep the other
hand in your pocket or behind your back.
Attention:There must be a complete circuit to
cause electrical shock. By observing the above
rule, you may prevent a current from passing
through your body.
–When using testers, set the controls correctly
and use the approved probe leads and
accessories for that tester.
–Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally,
if necessary) to insulate you from grounds such
as metal floor strips and machine frames.
Observe the special safety precautions when you
work with very high voltages; these instructions are in
the safety sections of maintenance information. Use
extreme care when measuring high voltages.
12ThinkPad 570 and 570E Hardware Maintenance
Manual   
						

							
Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand
tools for safe operational condition.

Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.

Never assume that power has been disconnected
from a circuit. First, check that it has been
powered-off.

Always look carefully for possible hazards in your
work area. Examples of these hazards are moist
floors, nongrounded power extension cables, power
surges, and missing safety grounds.

Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective
surface of a plastic dental mirror. The surface is
conductive; such touching can cause personal injury
and machine damage.

Do not service the following parts with the power on
when they are removed from their normal operating
places in a machine:
–Power supply units
 –Pumps
–Blowers and fans
 –Motor generators
and similar units. (This practice ensures correct
grounding of the units.)

If an electrical accident occurs:
–Use caution; do not become a victim
yourself.
– Switch off power.
– Send another person to get medical aid.
Safety Inspection Guide
The intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in
identifying potentially unsafe conditions on these products.
Each machine, as it was designed and built, had required
safety items installed to protect users and service
personnel from injury. This guide addresses only those
items. However, good judgment should be used to identify
potential safety hazards due to attachment of non-IBM
features or options not covered by this inspection guide.
If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine
how serious the apparent hazard could be and whether
you can continue without first correcting the problem.
Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they
present:

Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary
voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal
electrical shock).

Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or
bulging capacitor

Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing
hardware
   Introduction
 13 
						

							The guide consists of a series of steps presented in a
checklist. Begin the checks with the power off, and the
power cord disconnected.
Checklist:
1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or
sharp edges).
2. Power-off the computer. Disconnect the power cord.
3. Check the power cord for:
a. A third-wire ground connector in good condition.
Use a meter to measure third-wire ground
continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the
external ground pin and frame ground.
b. The power cord should be the appropriate type
as specified in the parts listings.
c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.
4. Remove the cover.
5. Check for any obvious non-IBM alterations. Use
good judgment as to the safety of any non-IBM
alterations.
6. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe
conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water
or other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.
7. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
8. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws
or rivets) have not been removed or tampered with.

							  Handling Electrostatic
Discharge-Sensitive Devices
Any computer part containing transistors or integrated
circuits (ICs) should be considered sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a
difference in charge between objects. 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.
