Removing and installing components during servicing

Removing and installing componentsduring servicing

Only qualified technicians should repair your notebook. Unauthorisedopening or incorrect repair may greatly endanger the user (electric shock,fire risk) and will invalidate your warranty.Components

Servicing

You may remove and install the components described in this chapter yourselfafter consulting the Hotline/Help Desk.

If you remove and install components without consulting the Hotline/HelpDesk, then the warranty of your notebook will be voided.

Notes on installing and removing boardsand components• Switch the notebook off and pull the power plug out of the mains socket.• Always remove the battery.• Take care when you use the locking mechanisms on the battery and any other component.• Never use sharp objects such as screwdrivers, scissors or knives as leverage to remove covers.

NotesBoardESD

Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are marked with the labelshown.

When handling boards fitted with ESDs, you must always observe the followingpoints:

• You must always discharge static build up (e.g. by touching a groundedobject) before working.

• The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.• Remove the power plug from the mains supply before inserting or removing

boards containing ESDs.• Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.• Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.

Removing and installing the hard diskThe hard disk is the most important storage medium of your notebook. You can work considerablyfaster and more efficiently if you copy applications and files from CDs to your hard disk. When thehard disk is accessed, the hard disk indicator lights up in the status indicator panel.

Removing and installing memory modulesMainmemoryMemoryexpansionMemoryupgradeSystemexpansion

The notebook will not start without memory modules, as no fixed RAM is installed.

Your notebook supports dual channel technology if two DDR3 memory modulesare installed. Fujitsu Technology Solutions recommends installing two identicalmemory modules in order to achieve the best system performance.

If you are asked by the Hotline/Help Desk to remove and install the memorymodules yourself, proceed as follows:

Pay attention to the relevant safety notes provided in the "Important notes" chapter.

The notebook must be switched off when installing/removing the memorymodules, it must not be in Suspend mode.

Only use approved memory expansion modules in your notebook(see Section "Technical data", Page 29).

Never use force when installing or removing memory modules.

Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory expansion compartment.

Individual components (e.g. the processor heat sink) can become very hotduring operation. Therefore, we recommend that you wait one hour afterswitching off the notebook before removing or installing the memory modules.Otherwise, there is a risk of suffering burns!

As some non-ESD safe components are exposed, please observe the section "Noteson installing and removing boards and components", Page 23.

► Switch your notebook off and unplug the mains adapter from the mains outlet.► Close the LCD screen so that it locks into place.► Disconnect all cables connected to the notebook.► Turn your notebook over and place it on a stable, flat and clean surface. If necessary, lay

an anti-slip cloth on this surface to prevent the notebook from being scratched.► Remove the battery (see "Removing the battery", Page 16).
