Chapter 7. Removing and replacing a FRU
This chapter provides instructions on how to remove or replace a FRU.
General guidelines
When removing or replacing a FRU, be sure to observe the following general guidelines:

the risk of damaging parts.
2. Before replacing any FRU, review Chapter 6 “FRU replacement notices” on page 35.
3. Begin by removing any FRUs that have to be removed before replacing the failing FRU. Any such
FRUs are listed at the beginning of each FRU replacement procedure. Remove them in the order in
which they are listed.
4. Follow the correct sequence in the steps for removing a FRU, as given in the drawings by the numbers
in square callouts.
5. When turning a screw, turn it in the direction as given by the arrow in the drawing.
6. When removing a FRU, move it in the direction as given by the arrow in the drawing.
7. To put the new FRU in place, reverse the removal procedure and follow any notes that pertain to
replacement. For information about connecting and arranging internal cables, see Chapter 8 “Locations”
on page 65.
8. When replacing a FRU, use the correct screw(s) as shown in the replacement procedure.
DANGER
Before removing any FRU, turn off the computer, unplug all power cords from electrical outlets,
remove the battery pack, and then disconnect any interconnecting cables.
Attention: After replacing a FRU, do not turn on the computer until you have made sure that all screws,
springs, and other small parts are in place and none are loose inside the computer. Verify this by shaking
the computer gently and listening for rattling sounds. Metallic parts or metal flakes can cause electrical
short circuits.
Attention: The system board is sensitive to, and can be damaged by, electrostatic discharge. Before
touching it, establish personal grounding by touching a ground point with one hand or by using an
electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap (P/N 6405959).
