Safety information

Electrical safety

Observethefollowingruleswhenworkingonelectricalequipments.

Important:

Use only approved tools and test equipments. Some hand tools have handles

covered with a soft material that does not insulate you when working with live

electrical currents.

Many customers have rubber floor mats near their machines that contain small

conductive bers to decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use such kind 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 the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:

Anelectricalshockcanoccuronlywhenthereisacomplete

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 certied (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.

DANGER

The battery pack contains small amounts of nickel. Do not disassemble it, throw

it into re or water, or short-circuit it. Dispose of the battery pack as required by

local ordinances or regulations. Use only the battery in the appropriate parts listing

when replacing the battery pack. Use of an incorrect battery can result in ignition

or explosion of the battery.

La batterie contient du nickel. Ne la démontez pas, ne l’exposez ni au feu ni à l’eau.

Ne la mettez pas en court-circuit. Pour la mettre au rebut, conformez-vous à la

réglementation en vigueur. Lorsque vous remplacez la batterie, veillez à n’utiliser

que les modèles cités dans la liste de pièces détachées adéquate. En effet, une

batterie inappropriée risque de prendre feu ou d’exploser.

Akkus enthalten geringe Mengen von Nickel. Sie dürfen nicht zerlegt,

wiederaufgeladen, kurzgeschlossen, oder Feuer oder Wasser ausgesetzt werden.

Bei der Entsorgung die örtlichen Bestimmungen für Sondermüll beachten. Beim

Ersetzen der Batterie nur Batterien des Typs verwenden, der in der Ersatzteilliste

aufgeführt ist. Der Einsatz falscher Batterien kann zu Entzündung oder Explosion

führen.

La batteria contiene piccole quantità di nichel. Non smontarla, gettarla nel fuoco

o nell’acqua né cortocircuitarla. Smaltirla secondo la normativa in vigore (DPR

915/82, successive disposizioni e disposizioni locali). Quando si sostituisce la

batteria, 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.

Las baterías contienen pequeñas cantidades de níquel. 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 al sustituir la batería. La utilización de una batería no apropiada puede

provocar la ignición o explosión de la misma.

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 after

June 2006. Products on the market before June 2006 are not required to

have RoHS compliant parts. If the original FRU parts are non-compliant,

replacement parts can also be non-compliant. In all cases if the original

FRU parts are RoHS compliant, the replacement part must also be RoHS

compliant.

FRUs.

• CarefullyremovescrewsforreusewhenreplacingFRUs.

• Beextremelycarefulduringsuchwrite operationsascopying,saving,or

formatting. Drives in the computer that you are servicing sequence might

have been altered. If you select an incorrect drive, data or programs might be

overwritten.

• ReplaceanFRUonlywith anotherFRUofthecorrectmodel. When you

replace an FRU, make sure that the machine model and the FRU part number are

correct by referring to the FRU parts list.

• AnFRUshouldnotbereplacedjustbecauseofasingle,unreproduciblefailure.

Single failures can occur for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a

hardware defect, such as cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software

errors. Consider replacing an FRU only when a problem recurs. If you suspect that

an FRU is defective, clear the error logs and run the test again. If the error does

not recur, do not replace the FRU.
