Lenovo MT 2369 manual Strategy for replacing a hard disk drive, How to use error messages

Important service information

Strategy for replacing a hard disk drive

Always try to run a low-level format before replacing a hard disk drive.

Attention: The drive startup sequence in the computer you are servicing may have been changed. Be extremely careful during write operations such as copying, saving, or formatting. If you select an incorrect drive, data or programs can be overwritten.

How to use error messages

Use the error codes displayed on the screen to diagnose failures. If more than one error code is displayed, begin the diagnosis with the first error code. Whatever causes the first error code may also cause false error codes. If no error code is displayed, see whether the error symptom is listed in the Symptom-to-FRU Index for the computer you are servicing.

Strategy for replacing FRUs for CTO, CMV, and GAV

Product definition

Dynamic Configure To Order (CTO)

This provides the ability for a customer to configure an IBM® solution from an eSite, and have this configuration sent to fulfillment, where it is built and shipped directly to the customer. The machine label, PC Entitlement Warehouse (PEW), eSupport, and the HMM will load these products as the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = “CTO” (Example: 1829-CTO).

Custom Model Variant (CMV)

This is a unique configuration that has been negotiated between IBM and the customer. A unique 4-digit MT and 3-digit model is provided to the customer to place orders (Example: 1829-W15). A CMV is a special bid offering. Therefore, it is NOT generally announced.

vThe MTM portion of the machine label is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = “CTO” (Example:

1829-CTO). The PRODUCT ID portion of the machine label is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit CMV model (Example: 1829-W15).

vThe PEW record is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = “CTO” (Example: 1829-CTO).

veSupport will show both the CTO and CMV machine type models (Example: 1829-CTO and 1829-W15 will be found on the eSupport site.)
