5. Slide the power supply assembly to the front of the computer and then lift it out of the chassis.

6. Make sure that the new power supply assembly is the correct replacement. Some power supply

assemblies automatically sense the voltage, some power supply assemblies are voltage specific, and
some power supply assemblies have a voltage-selection switch. If your power supply assembly has
a voltage-selection switch, make sure that you set the voltage-selection switch to match the voltage
available at your electrical outlet. If necessary, use a ballpoint pen to slide the voltage-selection switch
to the correct position.

• If the voltage supply range in your local country or region is 100–127 V ac, set the voltage-selection

switch to 115 V.

• If the voltage supply range in your local country or region is 200–240 V ac, set the voltage-selection

switch to 230 V.

7. Install the new power supply assembly into the chassis so that the screw holes in the power supply

assembly align with those in the chassis.

8. Install and tighten the four screws to secure the power supply assembly.

Note: Use only screws provided by Lenovo.

9. Reconnect the power supply assembly cables to the system board and each of the drives.

10. Secure the power supply assembly cables with the cable clips and ties in the chassis.

11. To complete the installation or replacement, go to “Completing the parts replacement” on page 90.

This section provides instructions on how to replace the microprocessor.

CAUTION:
The heat sink and microprocessor might be very hot. Turn off the computer and wait three to five
minutes to let the computer cool before removing the computer cover.

To replace the microprocessor, do the following:

1. Turn off the computer and disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets.

2. Remove the computer cover. See “Removing the computer cover” on page 70.

3. Lay the computer on its side for easier access to the system board.

4. Remove the heat sink and fan assembly. See “Replacing the heat sink and fan assembly” on page 80.

Note: Place the heat sink and fan assembly on its side so that the thermal grease on the bottom of it
does not get in contact with anything.
