Important information about replacing RoHS compliant FRUs  
RoHS, the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive  
(2002/95/EC) is a European Union legal requirement affecting the global electronics industry. RoHS  
requirements must be implemented on Lenovo products placed on the market and sold in the  
European Union after June, 2006. Products on the market before June, 2006 are not required to  
have RoHS compliant parts. If the parts are not compliant originally, replacement parts can also  
be noncompliant, but in all cases, if the parts are compliant, the replacement parts must also be  
compliant.  
© Copyright Lenovo 2009, 2010

Note: RoHS and non-RoHS FRU part numbers with the same fit and function are identified with unique  
FRU part numbers.  
Lenovo plans to transition to RoHS compliance well before the implementation date and expects its suppliers  
to be ready to support Lenovo's requirements and schedule in the EU. Products sold in 2005 will contain  
some RoHS compliant FRUs. The following statement pertains to these products and any product Lenovo  
produces containing RoHS compliant parts.  
RoHS compliant ThinkCentre parts have unique FRU part numbers. Before or after June 2006, failed RoHS  
compliant parts must always be replaced using RoHS compliant FRUs, so only the FRUs identified as  
compliant in the system hardware maintenance manual manor direct substitutions for those FRUs can be  
used.

Hardware Maintenance Manual  
Chapter 2. Safety information  
This chapter contains the safety information that you need to be familiar with before servicing a 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. Remember:  
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.  
Electrical safety  
CAUTION:  
Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables can be hazardous. To avoid  
personal injury or equipment damage, disconnect the attached power cords, telecommunication  
systems, networks, and modems before you open the server/workstation covers, unless instructed  
otherwise in the installation and configuration procedures.  
Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.  
© Copyright Lenovo 2009, 2010  
3
     
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 an electric 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 Field Replaceable Units (FRU)  
• 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. Remember: 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. Remember: There must be a complete circuit to cause an electric shock.  
By observing the above rule, you may prevent a current from passing through your body.  
– When using a tester, 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.  
• 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.

Hardware Maintenance Manual  
Voltage-selection switch  
Some computers are equipped with a voltage-selection switch located near the power-cord connection  
point on the computer. If your computer has a voltage-selection switch, ensure that you set the switch to  
match the voltage available at your electrical outlet. Setting the voltage-selection switch incorrectly can  
cause permanent damage to the computer.  
If your computer does not have a voltage-selection switch, your computer is designed to operate only at the  
voltage provided in the country or region where the computer was originally purchased.  
If you relocate your computer to another country, be aware of the following:  
• If your computer does not have a voltage-selection switch, do not connect the computer to an electrical  
outlet until you have verified that the voltage provided is the same as it was in the country or region  
where the computer was originally purchased.  
• If your computer has a voltage-selection switch, do not connect the computer to an electrical outlet until  
you have verified that the voltage-selection switch is set to match the voltage provided in that country  
or region.  
If you are not sure of the voltage provided at your electrical outlet, contact your local electric company or  
refer to official Web sites or other literature for travelers to the country or region where you are located.  
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 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  
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.  
Chapter 2. Safety information  
5
   
5. Check for any obvious alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety of any 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.  
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 while handling the part.  
• 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.

or see a logo screen, release the F1 key. The Setup Utility program opens.  
Note: If a password has been set, the Setup Utility program menu will not be displayed until you type  
the correct password. For more information, see “Using passwords” on page 41.  
Viewing and changing settings  
The Setup Utility program menu lists various items about the system configuration. To view or change  
settings, start the Setup Utility program. See “Starting the Setup Utility program” on page 41. Then, follow  
the instructions on the screen.  
When working with the Setup Utility program, you must use the keyboard. The keys used to perform various  
tasks are displayed at the bottom of each screen.  
Using passwords  
By using the Setup Utility program, you can set passwords to prevent unauthorized access to your computer  
and data. The following options are available for you to set a user password or a supervisor password:  
• Set User Password  
• Change Supervisor Password  
You do not have to set any passwords to use your computer. However, using passwords improves  
computing security. If you decide to set any passwords, read the following sections.  
Password considerations  
A password can be any combination of seven to ten alphabetic and numeric characters. For security  
reasons, it is recommended to use a strong password that cannot be easily compromised. To set a strong  
password, use the following guidelines:  
• Have at least eight characters in length and contain at least one alphabetic character and one numeric  
character  
• Setup Utility program passwords are not case sensitive  
• Not be your name or your user name  
• Not be a common word or a common name  
• Be significantly different from your previous passwords

Set User Password  
After you have set a user password using the Set User Password option, the user is prompted to type a valid  
password each time the computer is turned on. The computer cannot be used until a valid password is  
typed in. For more information on how to set a password, see “Setting, changing, and deleting a password”  
on page 42.  
Change Supervisor Password  
The Change Supervisor Password option enables you to set a password, which deters unauthorized  
users from changing configuration settings. If you are responsible for maintaining the settings of several  
computers, you might want to set a supervisor password. For more information on how to set a password,  
see “Setting, changing, and deleting a password” on page 42.  
After you have set a supervisor password, a password prompt is displayed each time you try to access the  
Setup Utility program. You cannot access the Setup Utility program until a valid password is typed in.  
If you have set both the user password and the supervisor password, you can type either password.  
However, to change any configuration settings, you must use your supervisor password.  
Setting, changing, and deleting a password  
To set, change, or delete a password, do the following:  
1. Start the Setup Utility program. See “Starting the Setup Utility program” on page 41.  
2. From the Setup Utility program main menu, select Security.  
3. Follow the instructions displayed on the screen to set, change, or delete a password.  
Note: A password can be any combination of seven to ten alphabetic and numeric characters. For more  
information, see “Password considerations” on page 41.  
Enabling or disabling a device

Chapter 7. Symptom-to-FRU index  
The Symptom-to-FRU index lists error symptoms and possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first.  
Always begin with the Chapter 4 “General checkout” on page 33. You can use this index to help you decide  
which FRUs are needed when servicing a computer. If you are unable to correct the problem using this  
index, go to “Undetermined problems” on page 64.  
Notes:  
1. If you have both an error message and an incorrect audio response, diagnose the error message first.  
2. If you cannot run the diagnostic tests or you get a diagnostic error code when running a test, but did receive a  
POST error message, diagnose the POST error message first.  
3. If you did not receive any error message, look for a description of your error symptoms in the first part of this index.

retry. If the problem persists, replace the system board.  
Otherwise, reinstall the optional adapters one at a time  
until the failing adapter is determined.  
8 beeps  
Replace the system board.  
POST error codes  
Each time you power-on the system, it performs a series of tests that check the operation of the system and  
some options. This series of tests is called the Power-On Self-Test, or POST.  
The POST does the following operations:  
• Checks some basic system-board operations  
• Checks the memory operation  
• Starts the video operation  
• Verifies that the boot drive is working  
If the POST detects a problem, an error message appears on the screen. A single problem can cause several  
error messages to appear. When you correct the cause of the first error message, the other error messages  
probably will not appear on the screen the next time you turn on the system.  
Chapter 7. Symptom-to-FRU index 61  
       
POST error message  
CMOS battery failed  
Description/Action  
The CMOS battery is no longer functional.  
Replace the battery.  
CMOS checksum error - defaults loaded  
Checksum of CMOS is incorrect.  
The computer loads the default configuration settings.  
This error might indicate that CMOS has become corrupt  
due to a weak CMOS battery.

HARD DISK INSTALL FAILURE  
Cannot find or initialize the hard disk drive controller or  
the drive.  
Make sure the hard disk drive is correctly installed.  
If no hard disk drives are installed, make sure the hard  
disk drive selection in setup is set to NONE.  
Keyboard error or no keyboard present  
Cannot initialize the keyboard.  
Make sure the keyboard is correctly connected to the  
computer and that no keys are held pressed during POST.  
To purposely configure the computer without a keyboard,  
set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT  
KEYBOARD. The BIOS then ignores the missing keyboard  
during POST.  
Memory test:  
This message displays during a full memory test, counting  
down the memory areas being tested.  
Memory test fail  
If POST detects an error during memory testing, additional  
information appears. This information gives specifics  
about the type and location of the memory error.  
Pressing the TAB key permits the user to toggle between  
the default POST display screen and a custom POST  
display screen.  
Press TAB to show POST screen

98 Hardware Maintenance Manual  
Chapter 10. Additional service information  
This chapter provides additional information that the service representative might find helpful.  
Security features  
Security features in this section include the following:  
• Passwords  
• Vital Product Data  
Hardware controlled passwords  
Use the Setup Utility program to set the hardware controlled passwords. For more information about  
passwords, see “Using passwords” on page 41.  
Operating system password  
An operating system password is very similar to a power-on password and denies access to the computer by  
an unauthorized user when the password is activated. The computer is unusable until the correct password  
is entered and recognized by the computer.  
Vital Product Data  
Each computer has a unique Vital Product Data (VPD) code stored in the nonvolatile memory on the system  
board. After you replace the system board, the VPD must be updated. To update the VPD, see “Updating  
BIOS levels  
An incorrect level of BIOS can cause false errors and unnecessary FRU replacement. Use the following  
information to determine the current level of BIOS installed in the computer, the latest BIOS available for the  
computer, and where to obtain the latest level of BIOS.  
To determine the current level of BIOS:  
– Start the Setup Utility program. See “Starting the Setup Utility program” on page 41.  
– See BIOS Revision Level on the Main setup screen.  
• Sources for obtaining the latest level BIOS available  
1. Lenovo support web site: http://www.lenovo.com/support  
2. Lenovo Customer Support Center  
3. Levels 1 and 2 Support  
To update (flash) the BIOS, see “Updating (flashing) BIOS from a disc” on page 99.  
Updating (flashing) BIOS from a disc  
This section provides instructions on how to update (flash) BIOS from a disc. System program updates  
are available at:http://www.lenovo.com/support  
To update (flash) BIOS from a disc, do the following:  
1. Make sure the optical drive you want to use is set as the first boot device in the startup device sequence.  
© Copyright Lenovo 2009, 2010  
99  
                 
2. Make sure the computer is turned on and insert the disc into the optical drive. The update begins.  
Note: You can insert the disc into the optical drive when you are setting the startup device sequence.  
However, if you insert the disc into the optical drive when you have already entered the operating  
system, you need to restart the computer to begin the update process.  
3. When prompted to change the serial number, press N. If you want to change the serial number, press Y  
when prompted, type in the serial number and press Enter.  
4. When prompted to change the machine type/model, press N. If you want to change the machine  
type/model, press Y when prompted, type in the machine type/model and press Enter.  
5. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the update.  
Recovering from a POST/BIOS update failure  
If the power to your computer is interrupted while POST/BIOS is being updated (flash update), your computer  
might not restart correctly. If this happens, perform the following procedure, which is commonly called  
Boot-block Recovery.  
1. Insert the POST/BIOS update (flash update) disc into the optical drive when the computer is turned on.  
2. Turn the computer off.  
3. Turn the computer on and, immediately during startup, press Ctrl+Home.  
4. The computer will automatically begin recovering the POST/BIOS, and you will see a screen indicating  
that the recovery has started. After the recovery session completes, the computer restarts automatically.  
5. Remove the POST/BIOS update (flash update) disc from the optical drive.  
Power management  
Power management reduces the power consumption of certain components of the computer such as the  
system power supply, processor, hard disk drives, and some monitors.  
Automatic configuration and power interface (ACPI) BIOS  
Being an ACPI BIOS system, the operating system is allowed to control the power management features  
of the computer and the setting for Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS mode is ignored. Not  
all operating systems support ACPI BIOS mode.  
Automatic Power-On features  
The Automatic Power-On features within the Power Management menu allow you to enable and disable  
features that turn on the computer automatically.  
RTC resume: You can specify a date and time at which the computer will be turned on automatically.  
This can be either a single event or a daily event.  
Wake on LAN: If the computer has a properly configured token-ring or Ethernet LAN adapter card that is  
Wake on LAN-enabled and there is remote network management software, you can use the Wake on LAN  
feature. When you set Wake on LAN to Enabled, the computer will turn on when it receives a specific  
signal from another computer on the local area network (LAN).
