Important notices for RAID setting:

Before you replace the system board, ensure that you have read Chapter 5 “Installing and configuring RAID” on page 47, and have obtained the necessary information. After you replace the system board, RAID mode is recovered to default. To verify the RAID mode setting, check the ThinkPad Setup setting by selecting Config ➙ Serial ATA (SATA) ➙ SATA Controller Mode Option ➙ RAID/Compatibility/AHCI. Then, you will see that the RAID option is enabled.

Important notices for handling the system board:

When handling the system board, bear the following in mind:

•The system board has an accelerometer, which can be broken if several thousands of G-forces are applied.

Note: Dropping a system board from a height of as little as 6 inches so that it falls flat on a hard bench can subject the accelerometer to as much as 6,000 G's of shock.

•Be careful not to drop the system board on a bench top that has a hard surface, such as metal, wood, or composite.

•If a system board is dropped, be sure to document the drop in any reject report, and replace the system board.

•Avoid rough handling of any kind.

•At every point in the process, be sure not to drop or stack the system board.

•If you put a system board down, be sure to put it only on a padded surface such as an ESD mat or conductive corrugated material.

Location of major sensitive components on the system board

Attention: The following components soldered on the top side of the system board are extremely sensitive. When you service the system board, avoid any kind of rough handling.
