Technician Notes
!WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by Compaq should
repair this equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are
detailed to allow only subassembly/module level repair. Because of
the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, no one
should attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make
modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can
create a safety hazard. Any indication of component replacement or
printed wiring board modifications may void any warranty or
exchange allowances.
!WARNING: The computer is designed to be electrically grounded. To
ensure proper operation, plug the AC power cord into a properly
grounded electrical outlet only.
CAUTION: To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at
least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance on the left and right sides of
the computer.
Serial Number
When requesting information or ordering spare parts, provide the
computer serial number. The serial number is located on the bottom of
the computer.
