IBM IntelliStation M Pro (Type 6898) - Planar installation

Applicable to: World-Wide

Attention Servicers:
This notice is for the system board and separate EMC shield in the IntelliStation M-Pro, Type 6898 computers.

When installing a replacement planar, or re-installing the existing planar, care must be taken to avoid bending the metal "fingers" on the EMC shield.

When properly seated, thin metal "fingers" will be in place over the USB, mouse/keyboard, and Ethernet port connectors.

For installation of the system board, first, angle the system board downward and under the EMC shield "fingers" to prevent bending or damaging the "fingers."

Note:
Servicers and IBM AAP Business Partners should be aware of a F-shaped foam bracket in M/T6898 systems which hold the full-length video adapter card in place. This F-shaped bracket does not restrict air flow and is fireproof.

After servicing the system, this bracket should be replaced in order to prevent movement of the video adapter in the event the system is moved, or transported to a different location.
