TP Selectadock III - FRU Removal and Replacement

Applicable to: World-Wide

The following information is intended for IBM Dealers and Authorized Servicers only. Customers attempting to follow any of the procedures below may void their warranty.
This section contains information on removals and replacements, as well as locations.

The arrows in the removals and replacements show the direction of movement to remove a field replaceable unit (FRU), or to turn a screw to release the FRU. The arrows are marked in numeric order to show the correct sequence of removal.

When other FRUs must be removed before the failing FRU is removed, they are listed at the top of the page. Go to the removal procedure for each FRU listed, remove the FRU, and then continue with the removal of the failing FRU.

To replace a FRU, reverse the removal procedure and follow any notes that pertain to replacement. See żLocations— for internal cable connections and arrangement information.

In addition to the safety notices below, refer to the Hardware Maintenance Manual for the computer you are servicing.

Caution:
Before removing any FRU, power-off the SelectaDock Docking System, remove the computer, unplug all power cords from electrical outlets, and then disconnect any interconnecting cables.

Warning:
The main board, adapters, and circuit boards on the drives are sensitive to, and can be damaged by, electrostatic discharge. You must use an electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap to establish personal grounding.

Please see the HMM for actual pictures and removal techniques:
