Safety Information
The following section contains the safety information that
you need to be familiar with before servicing an IBM
mobile computer.
General SafetyFollow these rules to ensure general safety:
vObserve good housekeeping in the area of the
machines during and after maintenance.
vWhen lifting any heavy object:
1. Ensure that you can stand safely without slipping.
2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between
your feet.
3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or
twist when you attempt to lift.
4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg
muscles; this action removes the strain from the
muscles in your back.Do not attempt to lift any
objects that weigh more than 16 kg (35 lb) or objects
that you think are too heavy for you.

							vDo not perform any action that causes hazard to the
customer, or that makes the equipment unsafe.
vBefore you start the machine, ensure that other service
representatives and the customer’s personnel are not in
a hazardous position.
vPlace removed covers and other parts in a safe place,
away from all personnel, while you are servicing the
machine.
vKeep your tool case away from walk areas so that other
people will not trip over it.
vDo not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the
moving parts of a machine. Ensure that your sleeves
are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair
is long, fasten it.
vInsert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or
fasten it with a nonconductive clip, approximately 8
centimeters (3 inches) from the end.
vDo not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or
metal fasteners for your clothing.
Attention:Metal objects are good electrical
conductors.
vWear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling
soldering, cutting wire, attaching springs, using solvents,
or working in any other conditions that might be
hazardous to your eyes.
vAfter service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels,
and ground wires. Replace any safety device that is
worn or defective.
vReinstall all covers correctly before returning the
machine to the customer.
Electrical SafetyObserve the following rules when working on electrical
equipment.
ImportantUse only approved tools and test equipment. Some
hand tools have handles covered with a soft
material that does not insulate you when working
with live electrical currents. Many customers have,
near their equipment, rubber floor mats that contain
small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic
discharges. Do not use this type of mat to protect
yourself from electrical shock.
vFind the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch,
disconnecting switch, or electrical outlet. If an electrical
accident occurs, you can then operate the switch or
unplug the power cord quickly.

							vDo not work alone under hazardous conditions or near
equipment that has hazardous voltages.
vDisconnect all power before:
–Performing a mechanical inspection
–Working near power supplies
–Removing or installing main units
vBefore you start to work on the machine, unplug the
power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the customer to
power-off the wall box that supplies power to the
machine and to lock the wall box in the off position.
vIf you need to work on a machine that has exposed
electrical circuits, observe the following precautions:
–Ensure that another person, familiar with the
power-off controls, is near you.
Attention:Another person must be there to switch
off the power, if necessary.
–Use only one hand when working with powered-on
electrical equipment; keep the other hand in your
pocket or behind your back.
Attention:There must be a complete circuit to
cause electrical shock. By observing the above rule,
you may prevent a current from passing through your
body.
–When using testers, set the controls correctly and
use the approved probe leads and accessories for
that tester.
–Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if
necessary) to insulate you from grounds such as
metal floor strips and machine frames.
Observe the special safety precautions when you work
with very high voltages; these instructions are in the
safety sections of maintenance information. Use
extreme care when measuring high voltages.
vRegularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools
for safe operational condition.
vDo not use worn or broken tools and testers.
vNever assume that power has been disconnected from
a circuit. First, check that it has been powered-off.
vAlways look carefully for possible hazards in your work
area. Examples of these hazards are moist floors,
nongrounded power extension cables, power surges,
and missing safety grounds.
vDo not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective
surface of a plastic dental mirror. The surface is
conductive; such touching can cause personal injury and
machine damage.

							vDo not service the following parts with the power on
when they are removed from their normal operating
places in a machine:
–Power supply units
–Pumps
–Blowers and fans
–Motor generators
and similar units. (This practice ensures correct
grounding of the units.)
vIf an electrical accident occurs:
–Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
–Switch off power.
–Send another person to get medical aid.
Safety Inspection GuideThe intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in
identifying potentially unsafe conditions on these products.
Each machine, as it was designed and built, had required
safety items installed to protect users and service
personnel from injury. This guide addresses only those
items. However, good judgment should be used to identify
potential safety hazards due to attachment of non-IBM
features or options not covered by this inspection guide.
If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine
how serious the apparent hazard could be and whether
you can continue without first correcting the problem.
Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they
present:
vElectrical hazards, especially primary power (primary
voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal
electrical shock).
vExplosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or
bulging capacitor.
vMechanical hazards, such as loose or missing
hardware.
The guide consists of a series of steps presented in a
checklist. Begin the checks with the power off, and the
power cord disconnected.
Checklist:
1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or
sharp edges).
2. Power-off the computer. Disconnect the power cord.
3. Check the power cord for:
a. A third-wire ground connector in good condition.
Use a meter to measure third-wire ground
14ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 HMM 
						

							continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external
ground pin and frame ground.
b. The power cord should be the appropriate type as
specified in the parts listings.
c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.
4. Remove the cover.
5. Check for any obvious non-IBM alterations. Use good
judgment as to the safety of any non-IBM alterations.
6. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe
conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water
or other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.
7. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
8. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws
or rivets) have not been removed or tampered with.
Handling Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive
Devices
Any computer part containing transistors or integrated
circuits ( ICs) should be considered sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur
when there is a difference in charge between objects.
Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so
that the machine, the part, the work mat, and the person
handling the part are all at the same charge.
Notes:
1. Use product-specific ESD procedures when they
exceed the requirements noted here.
2. Make sure that the ESD protective devices you use
have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effective.
When handling ESD-sensitive parts:
vKeep the parts in protective packages until they are
inserted into the product.
vAvoid contact with other people.
vWear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to
eliminate static on your body.
vPrevent the part from touching your clothing. Most
clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when
you are wearing a wrist strap.
vUse the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a
static-free work surface. The mat is especially useful
when handling ESD-sensitive devices.
vSelect a grounding system, such as those listed below,
to provide protection that meets the specific service
requirement.
Note:The use of a grounding system is desirable but
not required to protect against ESD damage.

							–Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground,
ground braid, or green-wire ground.
–Use an ESD common ground or reference point
when working on a double-insulated or
battery-operated system.
–You can use coax or connector-outside shells on
these systems.
–Use the round ground-prong of the AC plug on
AC-operated computers.
Grounding RequirementsElectrical grounding of the computer is required for
operator safety and correct system function. Proper
grounding of the electrical outlet can be verified by a
certified electrician.

section first.
Important Notes:
vOnly certified trained personnel should service the
computer.
vRead the entire FRU service procedures before
replacing any FRUs.
vUse new nylon-coated screws when you replace
FRUs.
vBe extremely careful during write operations such
as copying, saving, or formatting.Drives in the
computer that you are servicing might have been
rearranged or the drive startup sequence might have
been altered. If you select an incorrect drive, data or
programs could be overwritten.
vReplace FRUs only for the correct model.When you
replace a FRU, make sure that the model of the
machine and FRU part number are correct by referring
