Technician Notes

!WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by Compaq should

repair this equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are

detailed to allow only subassembly/module level repair. Because of

the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, no one

should attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make

modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can

create a safety hazard. Any indication of component replacement or

printed wiring board modifications may void any warranty or

exchange allowances.

!WARNING: The computer is designed to be electrically grounded. To

ensure proper operation, plug the AC power cord into a properly

grounded electrical outlet only.

CAUTION: To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at

least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance on the left and right sides of

the computer.

Serial Number

When requesting information or ordering spare parts, provide the

computer serial number. The serial number is located on the bottom of

the computer.
