How This Book Is Organized

The chapters in this manual contain a series of related service tasks. Using the table of contents or the task list on the first page of each chapter, you can quickly find the procedure you need to perform a specific task. The procedures for the tasks are brief; however, they are interrelated and often refer to other modules in the book. For instance, the procedure "How to Remove the Motherboard" is related to many tasks covered by other modules. You must perform these requisite tasks before or after replacing the motherboard.

This book is divided into seven chapters and six appendixes.

• Chapter 1 describes the tasks that you need to perform before or after each service procedure.
• Chapter 2 explains tasks related to components on the motherboard side of the system.
• Chapter 3 describes tasks related to components on the input/output (I/O) board side of the system.
• Chapter 4 explains tasks related to storage devices.
• Chapter 5 provides information about tasks related to various subassemblies in the system.
• Chapter 6 describes tasks related to system backplanes and cables.
• Chapter 7 provides configuration information for various parts of the system.
• The appendixes provide information about field-replaceable units (FRUs), system LEDs, split backplane configurations, connector pinouts, system specifications, and safety precautions.
