TP 755CE/CSE/CD/CV/CDV - Connection problems with port replicators

Applicable to: AP-N, AP-S, EMEA, LA

Service Information:
A small number of 755CE, CSE, CD or CDV systems may contain system expansion pin locator nuts with incorrectly sized holes.

This condition will interfere with Port Replicator installation by preventing the 240 pin D shell connector on the Port Replicator 1 and 2 from fully mating with the 240 pin expansion bus connector on the affected ThinkPads. Order the miscellaneous screw kit P/N85G1935 or P/N84G6560 to obtain replacement pin locator nuts.

Note:
The Dock I (3545) and Dock II (3546) will connect correctly to systems containing the undersized pin alignment holes.
