Hardware Maintenance Manual
General Descriptions
This chapter includes descriptions for any ThinkPad model
that has the PC-Doctor DOS diagnostics program. Some
descriptions might not apply to your particular computer.
Introduction
Important Service Information
Important
Diskette 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.
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.
Attention: A customized setup configuration (other than
default settings) may exist on the computer you are ser-
vicing. Running Automatic Configuration may alter those
settings. Note the current configuration settings (using the
ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 1
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 over-written 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 dis-
played as shorter POST messages are highlighted in this
index. Some digits will represent different information for
SCSI errors versus non-SCSI errors.
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.

3.5-inch drives.

Safety Notices (Multi-lingual
Translations)
In this manual, safety notices appear in English with a
page number reference to the appropriate multi-lingual,
translated safety notice found in this section.
The following safety notices are provided in English,
French, German, Italian, and Spanish languages.
Safety Notice 1
Before the computer is powered-on after FRU replace-
ment, make sure all screws, springs, or other small
parts are in place and are not left loose inside the
computer. Verify this by shaking the computer and lis-
tening for rattling sounds. Metallic parts or metal flakes
can cause electrical shorts.
Avant de remettre l'ordinateur sous tension après
remplacement d'une unité en clientèle, vérifiez que
tous les ressorts, vis et autres piòces sont bien en
place et bien fixées. Pour ce faire, secouez l'unité et
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, muβ sichergestellt
werden, daβ keine Schrauben, Federn oder andere
Kleinteile fehlen oder im Gehäuse vergessen wurden.
Der Computer muβ geschüttelt und auf
Klappergeräusche geprüft werden. Metallteile oder
-splitter können Kurzschlüsse erzeugen.
Prima di accendere l'elaboratore dopo che é stata
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 ciò
scuotendo 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 provocarõan. Las piezas metálicas
pueden causar cortocircuitos eléctricos.
ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 3
Safety Notice 2
Some standby batteries contain a small amount of
nickel and cadmium. Do not disassemble it, recharge
it, throw it into fire or water, or short-circuit it. Dispose
of the battery as required by local ordinances or regu-
lations. 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 ni à l'eau. Ne
les mettez pas en court-circuit. Pour les mettre au
rebut, conformez-vous à la réglementation en vigueur.
Lorsque vous remplacez la pile de sauvegarde ou
celle de l'horloge temps réel, veillez à n'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 die örtlichen Bestimmungen fÎr
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.
Alcune batterie di riserva contengono una piccola
quantità di nichel e cadmio. Non smontarle, ricaricarle,
gettarle nel fuoco o nell'acqua né cortocircuitarle.
Smaltirle secondo la normativa in vigore (DPR 915/82,
successive disposizioni e disposizioni locali). Quando
si sostituisce la batteria dell'RTC (real time clock) o la
batteria di supporto, utilizzare soltanto i tipi inseriti
nell'appropriato Catalogo parti. L'impiego di una
batteria non adatta potrebbe determinare l'incendio o
l'esplosione della batteria stessa.
Algunas baterías de reserva contienen una pequeña
cantidad de níquel y cadmio. No las desmonte, ni
recargue, ni las eche al fuego o al agua ni las
cortocircuite. Deséchelas tal como dispone la
normativa local. Utilice sólo baterías que se
encuentren en la lista de piezas. La utilización de una
batería no apropiada puede provocar la ignición o
explosión de la misma.
