    							Introduction
    Important service information
    ImportantDiskette fixes are customer-installable. The diskette
    fixes are posted on the IBM support site
    (http://www.pc.ibm.com/support/).
    Advise customers to contact the PC Company
    HelpCenter at 800-772-2227 if they need assistance
    in obtaining or installing any diskette fixes.
    Customers in Canada should call IBM HelpPC at
    800-565-3344 for assistance or download
    information.
    Strategy for replacing FRUs
    Before replacing partsMake sure that all diskette fixes are installed before
    replacing any FRUs listed in this manual.
    Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary FRU
    replacement and service expense:
    vIf you are instructed to replace a FRU but the
    replacement does not correct the problem, reinstall
    the original FRU before you continue.
    vSome 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.
    vIf an adapter or 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.
    1   
    						
    							AttentionThe setup configuration on the computer you are
    servicing may have been customized. Running
    Automatic Configuration may alter the settings. Note
    the current configuration settings (using the View
    Configuration option); then, when service has been
    completed, verify that those settings remain in
    effect.
    Strategy for replacing a hard-disk driveAlways try to run a low-level format before replacing a
    hard-disk drive.
    AttentionThe drive startup sequence in the computer you are
    servicing may have been changed. Be extremely
    careful during write operations such as copying,
    saving, or formatting. If you select an incorrect drive,
    data or programs can be overwritten.
    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 causes the
    first error code may also cause false error codes. 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.
    Diskette compatibility matrix
    The compatibility of each of the drives with the diskettes
    for it is as follows:

    							Safety notices: multilingual translations
    In this manual, safety notices appear in English with a
    page number reference to the appropriate translation in
    this section.
    The safety notices are provided in English, French,
    German, Italian, and Spanish, as follows:
    Safety notice 1Before the computer is powered-on after FRU
    replacement, make sure all screws, springs, and
    other small parts are in place and are not left loose
    inside the computer. Verify this by shaking the
    computer and listening for rattling sounds. Metallic
    parts or metal flakes can cause electrical shorts.
    Avant de remettre l’ordinateur sous tension après
    remplacement d’une unitéen clientèle, vérifiez que
    tous les ressorts, vis et autres pièces sont bien en
    place et bien fixées. Pour ce faire, secouez l’unitéet
    assurez-vous qu’aucun bruit suspect ne se produit.
    Des pièces métalliques ou des copeaux de métal
    pourraient causer un court-circuit.
    Bevor nach einem FRU-Austausch der Computer
    wieder angeschlossen wird, mußsichergestellt
    werden, daßkeine Schrauben, Federn oder andere
    Kleinteile fehlen oder im Gehäuse vergessen
    wurden. Der Computer mußgeschüttelt und auf
    Klappergeräusche geprüft werden. Metallteile
    oder-splitter können Kurzschlüsse erzeugen.
    Prima di accendere l’elaboratore dopo cheéstata
    effettuata la sostituzione di una FRU, accertarsi che
    tutte le viti, le molle e tutte le altri parti di piccole
    dimensioni siano nella corretta posizione e non
    siano sparse all’interno dell’elaboratore. Verificare ci
    ÚÚscuotendo l’elaboratore e prestando attenzione
    ad eventuali rumori; eventuali parti o pezzetti
    metallici possono provocare cortocircuiti pericolosi.
    Antes de encender el sistema despues de sustituir
    una FRU, compruebe que todos los tornillos,
    muelles y demás piezas pequeñas se encuentran
    en su sitio y no se encuentran sueltas dentro del
    sistema. Compruébelo agitando el sistema y
    escuchando los posibles ruidos que provocarían.
    Las piezas metálicas pueden causar cortocircuitos
    eléctricos.

    battery, recharge it, throw it into fire or water, or
    short-circuit it. Dispose of the battery as required by
    local ordinances or regulations. Use only the battery
    in the appropriate parts listing. Use of an incorrect
    battery can result in ignition or explosion of the
    battery.
    Certaines batteries de secours contiennent du nickel
    et du cadmium. Ne les démontez pas, ne les
    rechargez pas, ne les exposez ni au feu niàl’eau.
    Ne les mettez pas en court- circuit. Pour les mettre
    au rebut, conformez-vousàla réglementation en
    vigueur. Lorsque vous remplacez la pile de
    sauvegarde ou celle de l’horloge temps réel, veillez
    àn’utiliser que les modèles cités dans la liste de
    pièces détachées adéquate. Une batterie ou une
    pile inappropriée risque de prendre feu ou
    d’exploser.
    Die Bereitschaftsbatterie, die sich unter dem
    Diskettenlaufwerk befindet, kann geringe Mengen
    Nickel und Cadmium enthalten. Sie darf nur durch
    die Verkaufsstelle oder den IBM Kundendienst
    ausgetauscht werden. Sie darf nicht zerlegt,
    wiederaufgeladen, kurzgeschlossen, oder Feuer
    oder Wasser ausgesetzt werden. Die Batterie kann
    schwere Verbrennungen oder Verätzungen
    verursachen. Bei der Entsorgung dieörtlichen
    Bestimmungen für Sondermüll beachten. Beim
    Ersetzen der Bereitschafts-oder Systembatterie nur
    Batterien des Typs verwenden, der in der
    Ersatzteilliste aufgeführt ist. Der Einsatz falscher
    Batterien kann zu Entzündung oder Explosion
    führen.
