Removal and Replacement Procedures

This chapter provides subassembly/module-level removal and replacement procedures for the Compaq Professional Workstation AP500.

After completing all necessary removal and replacement procedures, run the Compaq Setup and Diagnostics program to verify that all components are operating properly.

Serial Number

Provide the computer serial number to Compaq whenever you request information or order spare parts. The serial number is located on the top right side of the workstation B and also on the rear of the chassis .

For asset control, the serial number is also embedded in the EPROM on the system board. If the system board is replaced with a spare part from Compaq, an invalid serial number condition will be reported during POST. To clear the condition, use Compaq Softpaq SP8410. It is located at:

NOTE: If a system board from another workstation is installed, POST recognizes the serial number as a valid number.
