drive, data	or programs could be	overwritten.

ŸEnsure that you replace FRUs with the appro- priate model. When you replace the FRU, make sure that the model of the machine and FRU

number are correct by referring to the part

ŸFRUs should not be replaced because of a

single, unreproducible failure. Single failure ca
occur		for	a	variety		of reasons			that	have	not
to do with a hardware defect, such as: cos
radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software
error.		FRU		replacement			should	be	considered
only when a recurring problem exists. In this
case,		clear the error log and run the test
Do	not	replace			FRUs	if	log	errors do		not	rea
pear.
Be careful	not	to	replace		a non-defective		FRU.
