So, if the parts are not compliant originally, replacement parts can also be noncompliant, but in all cases, if the parts are compliant, the replacement parts must also be compliant.

Lenovo plans to transition to RoHS compliance well before the implementation date and expects its suppliers to be ready to support Lenovo’s requirements and schedule. Products sold in 2005, will contain some RoHS compliant FRUs. The following statement pertains to these products and any product Lenovo produces containing RoHS compliant parts.

RoHS compliant ThinkCentre parts have unique FRU part numbers. Before or after June, 2006, failed RoHS compliant parts must always be replaced using RoHS compliant FRUs, so only the FRUs identified as compliant in the system HMM or direct substitutions for those FRUs can be used.

Products marketed before June 2006		Products marketed after June 2006
Current or original	Replacement FRU	Current or original	Replacement FRU
part		part
Non-RoHS	Can be Non-RoHS	Must be RoHS	Must be RoHS
Non-RoHS	Can be RoHS
Non-RoHS	Can sub to RoHS
RoHS	Must be RoHS

Note: A direct substitution is a part with a different FRU part number that is automatically shipped by the distribution center at the time of order.
