Important safety information CAUTION: Before using this manual, it is important that you read and understand all the related safety information for this product. Refer to the Safety and Warranty Guide that you received with this product for the latest safety information. Reading and understanding this safety information reduces the risk of personal injury and or damage to your product. If you no longer have a copy of the Safety and Warranty Guide, you can obtain one online from the Lenovo Support Web site at: http://www.lenovo.com/support. © Lenovo 2005, 2007. Portions © IBM Corp. 2005. 1 2 Hardware Installation and Replacement Guide Chapter 2. Overview This guide provides information about replacing Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs). This guide does not include procedures for all parts. It is expected that cables, switches, and certain mechanical parts be replaced by trained service personnel without the need for step-by-step procedures. Note: Use only parts provided by Lenovo™. This guide contains instructions for installing or replacing the following parts: v v v v v v v v v v Battery Heat sink Hard disk drive Optical drive Memory module System fan assembly AC power adapter Modem Keyboard Mouse Additional information resources If you have Internet access, the most up-to-date information for your computer is available from the World Wide Web. You can find: v CRU removal and installation information v CRU removal and installation videos v Publications v Troubleshooting information v Parts information v Downloads and drivers v Links to other useful sources of information v Support phone list To access this information, point your browser to: http://www.lenovo.com/support © Lenovo 2005, 2007. Portions © IBM Corp. 2005. 3 Handling static-sensitive devices Do not open the static-protective package containing the new part until the defective part has been removed from the computer and you are ready to install the new part. Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and parts. When you handle parts and other computer components, take these precautions to avoid static-electricity damage: v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you. v Always handle parts and other computer components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules, system boards, and microprocessors by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry. v Prevent others from touching the parts and other computer components. v Before you replace a new part, touch the static-protective package containing the part to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body. v When possible, remove the new part from the static-protective packaging, and install it directly in the computer without setting the part down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective package that the part came in on a smooth, level surface and place the part on it. v Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface. 4 Hardware Installation and Replacement Guide Locations This chapter provides illustrations to help locate the various connectors, controls, and components of the computer. Locating controls and connectors on the front of your computer Figure 1 shows the location of the controls and connectors on the front of your computer. Note: Not all computer models will have the following controls and connections. Figure 1. Controls and connectors 1 2 USB connector Microphone connector 3 4 Headphone connector USB connector Chapter 2. Overview 5 Locating connectors on the rear of your computer Figure 2 shows the location of connectors on the rear of some computer models. Some connectors on the rear of your computer are color-coded to help you determine where to connect the cables on your computer. Figure 2. Locating the rear connectors 1 2 3 4 5 6 Cable lock latch Power adapter connector Monitor connector USB connectors (4) Ethernet connector Hardware Installation and Replacement Guide 6 7 8 9 Microphone connector Audio line out connector Audio line in connector RJ11 modem connector Connector Description USB connectors Used to attach a device that requires a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection, such as a USB keyboard, USB mouse, USB scanner or USB printer. If you have more than six USB devices, you can purchase a USB hub, which you can use to connect additional USB devices. Ethernet connector Used to attach an Ethernet cable for a local area network (LAN). Note: To operate the computer within FCC Class B limits, use a Category 5 Ethernet cable. Audio-line-in connector Used to receive audio signals from an external audio device, such as a stereo system. When you attach an external audio device, a cable is connected between the audio line out connector of the device and the audio line in connector of the computer. Audio-line-out connector Used to send audio signals from the computer to external devices, such as powered stereo speakers (speakers with built-in amplifiers), headphones, multimedia keyboards, or the audio line in connector on a stereo system or other external recording device. Microphone connector Used to attach a microphone to your computer when you want to record voice or other sounds on the hard disk if you use speech-recognition software. Chapter 2.

Note: In most areas of the world, Lenovo requires the return of the defective CRU. Information about this will come with the CRU or will come a few days after the CRU arrives. Obtaining device drivers You can obtain device drivers for operating systems that are not preinstalled at http://www.lenovo.com/support/ on the World Wide Web. Installation instructions are provided in README files with the device-driver files. 28 Hardware Installation and Replacement Guide Chapter 5. Security features To help prevent hardware theft and unauthorized access to your computer, several security lock options are available. In addition to a physical lock, unauthorized use of your computer can be prevented by a software lock that locks the keyboard until a correct password is typed in. Make sure that any security cables that you install do not interfere with other computer cables. Integrated cable lock An integrated cable lock (sometimes referred to as the Kensington lock), can be used to secure your computer to a desk, table, or other non-permanent fixture. The cable lock attaches to a security slot at the rear of your computer and is operated with a key. The cable lock also locks the buttons used to open the computer cover. This is the same type of lock used with many laptop computers. You can order a security cable directly from Lenovo. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support/ and search on Kensington. Figure 25. Installing cable lock Password protection To deter unauthorized use of your computer, you can use the Setup Utility program to set a password. When you turn on your computer, you are prompted to type the password to unlock the keyboard for normal use. © Lenovo 2005, 2007.
