Restoring the serial number of the system
unit

When the computer was manufactured, the EEPROM on
the system board was loaded with the serial numbers of
the system and all major components. The numbers need
to remain the same throughout the life of the computer.

If you replace the system board, you must restore serial
number of the system unit to its original value.

Before replacing the system board, save the original serial
number by doing the following:

1. Install the ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette

Version 1.60, and restart the computer.

2. From the main menu, select 1. Set System

Identification.

3. Select 2. Read S/N data from EEPROM.

The serial number for each device is displayed. Write
down the serial number of the system unit, designated as
follows:

20:System unit serial number
