Chapter 1. Important safety information
Note: Be sure to read and understand the important safety information first.
This information can help you safely use your desktop or notebook personal
computer. Follow and retain all information included with your computer. The
information in this document does not alter the terms of your purchase agreement
Customer safety is important. Our products are developed to be safe and
effective. However, personal computers are electronic devices. Power cords,
power adapters, and other features can create potential safety risks that can result
in physical injury or property damage, especially if misused. To reduce these risks,
follow the instructions included with your product, observe all warnings on the
product and in the operating instructions, and review the information included in
this document carefully. By carefully following the information contained in this
document and provided with your product, you can help protect yourself from
hazards and create a safer computer work environment.
Note: This information includes references to power adapters and batteries. In
addition to notebook computers, some products (such as speakers and monitors)
are shipped with external power adapters. If you have such a product, this
information applies to your product. In addition, computer products contain a
coin-sized internal battery that provides power to the system clock even when the
computer is unplugged, so the battery safety information applies to all computer
products.
Conditions that require immediate action
Products can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some product
damage is serious enough that the product should not be used again until
it has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an Authorized Service
Provider.
As with any electronic device, pay close attention to the product when it is
turned on. On very rare occasions, you might notice an odor or see a puff
of smoke or sparks vent from your product. Or you might hear sounds like
popping, cracking, or hissing. These conditions might merely mean that an
internal electronic component has failed in a safe and controlled manner. Or,
they might indicate a potential safety issue. However, do not take risks or
attempt to diagnose the situation yourself. Contact the Customer Support
Center for further guidance. For a list of Service and Support phone numbers,
Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage, wear,
or signs of danger. If you have any question about the condition of a
© Copyright Lenovo 2011
1
component, do not use the product. Contact the Customer Support Center
or the product manufacturer for instructions on how to inspect the product
and have it repaired, if necessary.
In the unlikely event that you notice any of the following conditions, or if you
have any safety concerns with your product, stop using the product and
unplug it from the power source and telecommunication lines until you can
speak to the Customer Support Center for further guidance.
•
Power cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or
power supplies that are cracked, broken, or damaged.
•
•
Signs of overheating, smoke, sparks, or fire.
Damage to a battery (such as cracks, dents, or creases), discharge from a
battery, or a buildup of foreign substances on the battery.
•
•
•
A cracking, hissing, or popping sound, or strong odor that comes from the
product.
Signs that liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen onto the computer
product, the power cord, or power adapter.
The computer product, power cord, or power adapter has been exposed to
water.
•
•
The product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
The product does not operate normally when you follow the operating
instructions.
Note: If you notice these conditions with a product (such as an extension cord)
that is not manufactured for or by Lenovo, stop using that product until you
can contact the product manufacturer for further instructions, or until you get a
suitable replacement.
General safety guidelines
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and property
damage.
Batteries
All personal computers manufactured by Lenovo contain a non-rechargeable
coin cell battery to provide power to the system clock. In addition, many mobile
products, such as notebook computers, utilize a rechargeable battery pack to
provide system power when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by Lenovo for
use with your product have been tested for compatibility and should only be
replaced with approved parts.
Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate
batteries or short circuit the metal contacts. Do not expose the battery to water
2
ThinkCentre Safety and Warranty Guide
or other liquids. Only recharge the battery pack strictly according to instructions
included in the product documentation.
Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which can cause
gasses or flame to “vent” from the battery pack or coin cell. If your battery is
damaged, or if you notice any discharge from your battery or the buildup of foreign
materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and obtain a replacement
from the battery manufacturer.
Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time. For
some rechargeable batteries (particularly Lithium Ion batteries), leaving a battery
unused in a discharged state could increase the risk of a battery short circuit,
which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose a safety hazard. Do
not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or store these
batteries in a discharged state.
Electrical current safety information

wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the video
product due to lightning and power line surges.
Power lines
An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or where it
can fall into such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system, extreme care
should be taken to keep from touching such power
lines or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal.
Data safety
Do not delete unknown files or change the name of files or directories that were
not created by you; otherwise, your computer software might fail to work.
Be aware that accessing network resources can leave your computer vulnerable
to computer viruses, hackers, spyware, and other malicious activities that might
damage your computer, software, or data. It is your responsibility to ensure that
you have adequate protection in the form of firewalls, antivirus software, and
anti-spyware software and keep this software up to date.
Using headphones or earphones
If your computer has both a headphone connector and an audio line-out
connector, always use the headphone connector for headphones (also called a
headset) or earphones.
CAUTION:
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss. Adjustment of the equalizer to maximum increases the
earphone and headphone output voltage and the sound pressure level.
Therefore, to protect your hearing, adjust the equalizer to an appropriate
level.
Excessive use of headphones or earphones for a long period of time at high
volume can be dangerous if the output of the headphone or earphone connectors
do not comply with specifications of EN 50332-2. The headphone output
connector of your computer complies with EN 50332-2 Sub clause 7. This
Chapter 1. Important safety information
7
specification limits the computer’s maximum wide band true RMS output voltage
to 150 mV. To help protect against hearing loss, ensure that the headphones or
earphones you use also comply with EN 50332-2 (Clause 7 Limits) for a wide band
characteristic voltage of 75 mV. Using headphones that do not comply with EN
50332-2 can be dangerous due to excessive sound pressure levels.
If your Lenovo computer came with headphones or earphones in the package,
as a set, the combination of the headphones or earphones and the computer
already complies with the specifications of EN 50332-1. If different headphones
or earphones are used, ensure that they comply with EN 50332-1 (Clause 6.5
Limitation Values). Using headphones that do not comply with EN 50332-1 can be
dangerous due to excessive sound pressure levels.
Additional safety information
CAUTION:
Plastic bags can be dangerous. Keep plastic bags away from babies and
children to avoid danger of suffocation.

Notes:
If required, your Service Provider will provide repair or exchange service
depending on the type of warranty service specified for your product and the
available service. Scheduling of service will depend upon the time of your call,
parts availability, and other factors.
Types of Warranty Service
1. Customer Replaceable Unit (“CRU”) Service
Under CRU Service, the Service Provider will ship CRUs to you at its cost for
installation by you. CRU information and replacement instructions are shipped
with your product and are available from Lenovo at any time upon request. CRUs
that are easily installed by you are called “Self-service CRUs”. “Optional-service
CRUs” are CRUs that may require some technical skill and tools. Installation of
Self-service CRUs is your responsibility. You may request that a Service Provider
install Optional-service CRUs under one of the other types of warranty service
designated for your product. An optional service offering may be available for
purchase from a Service Provider or Lenovo under which Self-service CRUs would
be installed for you. You may find a list of CRUs and their designation in the
The requirement to return a defective CRU, if any, will be specified in the
instructions shipped with a replacement CRU. When return is required: 1) return
instructions, a prepaid return shipping label, and a container will be included with
the replacement CRU; and 2) you may be charged for the replacement CRU if the
Service Provider does not receive the defective CRU from you within thirty (30)
days of your receipt of the replacement CRU.
2. On-site Service
Under On-Site Service, a Service Provider will either repair or exchange the
product at your location. You must provide a suitable working area to allow
disassembly and reassembly of the product. Some repairs may need to be

the service center at its expense.
3. Courier or Depot Service
Under Courier or Depot Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at a
designated service center, with shipping at the expense of the Service Provider.
You are responsible for disconnecting the product and packing it in a shipping
container provided to you to return your product to a designated service center. A
courier will pick up your product and deliver it to the designated service center.
The service center will return the product to you at its expense.
4. Customer Carry-In Service
Under Customer Carry-In Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged
after you deliver it to a designated service center at your risk and expense. After
the product has been repaired or exchanged, it will be made available to you for
collection. If you fail to collect the product, the Service Provider may dispose of
the product as it sees fit, with no liability to you.
5. Mail-In Service
Under Mail-In Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at a designated
service center after you deliver it at your risk and expense. After the product
has been repaired or exchanged, it will be returned to you at Lenovo’s risk and
expense, unless the Service Provider specifies otherwise.
6. Customer Two-Way Mail-In Service
Under Customer Two-Way Mail-In Service, your product will be repaired or
exchanged after you deliver it to a designated service center at your risk and
expense. After the product has been repaired or exchanged, it will be made
available to you for return shipping at your risk and expense. If you fail to arrange
return shipment, the Service Provider may dispose of the product as it sees fit,
with no liability to you.
7. Product Exchange Service
Under Product Exchange Service, Lenovo will ship a replacement product to your
location. You are responsible for its installation and verification of its operation.
The replacement product becomes your property in exchange for the failed
product, which becomes the property of Lenovo. You must pack the failed product
in the shipping carton in which you received the replacement product and return it
to Lenovo. Transportation charges, both ways, shall be at Lenovo’s expense. If
you fail to use the carton in which the replacement product was received, you may
be responsible for any damage to the failed product occurring during shipment.
You may be charged for the replacement product if Lenovo does not receive the
failed product within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the replacement product.

Chapter 6. Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs)
Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) are computer parts that can be upgraded
or replaced by the customer. There are two types of CRUs: Self-service and
Optional-service. Self-service CRUs are easy to install. They might be standalone,
latched, or require a screwdriver to remove a maximum of two screws. However,
Optional-service CRUs require some technical skills and in some cases might
also require simple tools, such as a screwdriver. However, both Self-service and
Optional-service CRUs are safe for the customer to remove.
Customers are responsible for replacing all Self-service CRUs. Optional-service
CRUs can be removed and installed by customers or by a Lenovo service
technician during the warranty period. Lenovo desktop computers contain both
Self-service and Optional-service CRUs.
•
Self-service CRUs: These CRUs unplug or are secured by no more than two
screws. Examples of these types of CRUs include the keyboard, the mouse,
any USB device, and the power cord. Other Self-service CRUs depending
on product design might include memory modules, adapter cards, hard disk
drives, and optical drives.
•
•
Optional-service CRUs: These CRUs are isolated parts within the computer
and are concealed by an access panel that is typically secured by more than
two screws. Once the access panel is removed, the specific CRU is visible.
Both types of CRUs are listed in the tables on the following page.
The ThinkCentre User Guide provides instructions for replacing Self-service and
Optional-service CRUs. Refer to the following tables for the CRU information
in your ThinkCentre User Guide. If your computer model has a Windows 7
operating system, you can view the publication by clicking Start ➙ Help and
Support ➙ Lenovo User Guide. If your computer model has a Windows Vista
operating system, you can view the publication by clicking Start ➙ All Programs
➙ ThinkVantage ➙ Lenovo User Guide. Double-click the publication for your
computer. You can also access the publication on the Lenovo Support Web site at:
Note: Use only computer parts provided by Lenovo. Refer to Lenovo Limited
