and
then
replace
the
other
one.
v
If
an
adapter
or
a

consists
of
more

may
be
the
cause
of
the
error.
Before
replacing
the
adapter
or
device,
remove
the
FRUs,
one
by
one,
to
see
if

Important
notice
for

a
system
board
Some
components
mounted
on
a
system

are
very

system
board
can
cause
damage
to
those
components,
and
may
cause
a
system
malfunction.

a
system
board:

not
drop
a
system
board
or
apply
any
excessive
force
to
it.
v
Avoid
rough
handling
of
any
kind.
v
Avoid
bending
a
system
board
and
hard
pushing
to
prevent
cracking
at

Array)
chipset.
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.
Whatever
causes
the
first
error
code
may
also
cause
false
error
codes.
If
no
error
code
is
displayed,
see
whether
the
error
symptom
is
listed
in
the
Symptom-to-FRU
Index
for
the
computer
you
are
servicing.
Strategy
for
replacing
FRUs
for
Custom
Model
Variant
(CMV)
products
Custom
Model
Variant
(CMV)
is
a
unique
configuration
that
has
been
negotiated
between
Lenovo
TM
and
the
customer.
A
unique
4-digit
MT
and
3-digit
model
is
provided
to
the
customer
to
place
orders
(Example:
1829-W15).
A
CMV
is
a
special
bid
offering.
Therefore,
it
is
NOT
generally
announced.
There
are
three
information
resources
to
identify
which
FRUs
are
used
to
support
CMV
products.
These
sources
are
PC
Entitlement
Warehouse
(PEW),
eSupport,
and
the
HMM.
