Lenovo X61S manual FRU identification for CTO, CMV, and GAV products, Using PEW, Using eSupport

Important service information

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.)

vThe HMM will have the 4-digit MT and 3-digit CTO model only (Example: 1829-CTO). Again, CMVs are custom models and are not found in the HMM.

General Announce Variant (GAV)

This is a standard model (fixed configuration). GAVs are announced and offered to all customers. The MTM portion of the machine label is a 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = a “fixed part number”, not “CTO” (Example: 1829-F1U). Also, PEW, eSupport, and the HMM will list these products under the same fixed model number.

FRU identification for CTO, CMV, and GAV products

There are three information resources to identify which FRUs are used to support CTO, CMV, and GAV products. These sources are PEW, eSupport, and the HMM.

Using PEW

vPEW is the primary source for identifying FRU part numbers and FRU descriptions for the key commodities for CTO, CMV and GAV products at a MT - serial number level. An example of key commodities are hard disk drives, system boards, microprocessors, Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs), and memory.

vRemember, all CTO and CMV products are loaded in PEW under the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = “CTO” (Example: 1829-CTO). GAVs are loaded in PEW under the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = a “fixed part number”, not “CTO” (Example: 1829-F1U).

vPEW can be accessed at the following Web site: http://w3-3.ibm.com/pc/entitleCustomers can also access PEW via

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?template=/warranty/ warranty.vm&sitestyle=lenovo

Select Warranty lookup. Input the MT and the Serial number and the list of key commodities will be returned in the PEW record under COMPONENT INFORMATION.

vBusiness Partners using Eclaim will access PEW when performing Entitlement Lookup. Business Partners will enter Loc ID, MT and Serial, and the key commodities will be returned in the Eclaim record under SYSTEM DETAILS.

vAuthorized IBM Business Partners can access Eclaim at the following Web site: https://wca.eclaim.com

Using eSupport

For Key Commodities (Examples - hard disk drive, system board, microprocessor, LCD, and memory)

veSupport can be used to view the list of key commodities built in a particular machine serial (this is the same record found in PEW).

veSupport can be accessed at the following Web site: http://www.lenovo.com/ support

vTo view the key commodities, click on PARTS INFORMATION, then PARTS LOOKUP. Type in the model type and serial number. The key commodities will be returned in the eSupport record under PARTS SHIPPED WITH YOUR SYSTEM.
