Chapter 3, “Lenovo Limited Warranty,” on page 19.
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
© Copyright Lenovo 2009 1
Center for further guidance. For a list of Service and Support phone
numbers, see Chapter 4, “Worldwide Lenovo Support telephone list,” on
page 29.
Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage, wear, or
signs of danger. If you have any question about the condition of a
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.
vPower cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or

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.
Service and upgrades
Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the
Customer Support Center or your documentation. Only use a Service Provider
who is approved to repair your particular product.
2Safety and Warranty Guide
Note: Some computer parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer.
Upgrades typically are referred to as options. Replacement parts approved for
customer installation are referred to as Customer Replaceable Units, or CRUs.
Lenovo provides documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for
customers to install options or replace CRUs. You must closely follow all
instructions when installing or replacing parts. The Off state of a power
indicator does not necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a product are
zero. Before you remove the covers from a product equipped with a power
cord, always make sure that the power is turned off and that the product is
unplugged from any power source. For more information on CRUs, refer to the
ThinkCentre User Guide for this product. If you have any questions or concerns,
contact the Customer Support Center.
Although there are no moving parts in your computer after the power cord has
been disconnected, the following warnings are required for your safety.
DANGER
Hazardous moving parts. Keep fingers and other body parts away.
CAUTION:
Before replacing any CRUs, turn off the computer and wait three to five
minutes to let the computer cool before opening the cover.
Static electricity prevention
Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer
components and options. Improper handling of static-sensitive parts can cause
damage to the part. When you unpack an option or CRU, do not open the
static-protective package containing the part until the instructions direct you to
install it.
When you handle options or CRUs, or perform any work inside the computer,
take the following precautions to avoid static-electricity damage:
vLimit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up
around you.
Chapter 1. Important safety information 3
vAlways handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules,
and other circuit boards by the edges. Never touch exposed circuitry.
vPrevent others from touching components.
vWhen you install a static-sensitive option or CRU, touch the static-protective
package containing the part to a metal expansion-slot cover or other
unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This
reduces static electricity in the package and your body.
vWhen possible, remove the static-sensitive part from the static-protective
packaging and install the part without setting it down. When this is not
possible, place the static-protective packaging on a smooth, level surface and
place the part on it.
vDo not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.
Power cords and power adapters
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product
manufacturer.
The power cords shall be safety approved. For Germany, it shall be H05VV-F,
3G, 0.75 mm2, or better. For other countries, the suitable types shall be used
accordingly.
Never wrap a power cord around a power adapter or other object. Doing so
can stress the cord in ways that can cause the cord to fray, crack, or crimp.
This can present a safety hazard.
Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or
pinched by objects.
Protect power cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not
leave your power cord or power adapter near sinks, tubs, toilets, or on floors
that are cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause a short circuit,
particularly if the power cord or power adapter has been stressed by misuse.
Liquids also can cause gradual corrosion of power cord terminals and/or the
connector terminals on a power adapter, which can eventually result in
overheating.
Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and ensure
that all power cord connectors are securely and completely plugged into
receptacles.
Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins or
shows signs of overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input or
anywhere on the power adapter.
4Safety and Warranty Guide
Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show
signs of corrosion or overheating or where the power cord appears to have
been damaged in any way.
Voltage-selection switch
Some computers are equipped with a voltage-selection switch located near the
power-cord connection point on the computer and some computers do not
have a voltage-selection switch. Before you install your computer or relocate
your computer to another country or region, you must be certain that you
have matched your computer to the voltage available at your electrical outlet.
CAUTION:
You must know the voltage of the electrical connection (outlet) where your
computer will be connected. If you do not know the voltage, contact your
local electric company or refer to official Web sites or other literature for
travelers to the country or region where you are located.
If your computer has a voltage-selection switch, you must set the switch to
match the voltage available at your electrical outlet. Setting the
voltage-selection switch incorrectly will cause the computer to malfunction and
might cause permanent damage to the computer. Do not connect the computer
to an electrical outlet until you have verified that the voltage-selection switch
setting matches the voltage available at the electrical outlets.
If your computer does not have a voltage-selection switch, inspect the
voltage-rating label on the bottom of the computer and note the following:
vIf the voltage-rating label shows a range of either ″100-127 V″or ″200-240 V,″
you must ensure that the voltage provided at the electrical outlet matches
the voltage rating on the computer label. If it does not match, do not
attempt to connect the computer to the electrical outlet, unless an external
device such as a voltage-converting transformer is used.
vIf the voltage-rating label shows a dual range of ″100-127 V″and ″200-240
V,″this signifies that the computer is suitable for worldwide operation and
the computer will automatically adjust to the voltage at the electrical outlet
regardless of the country or region where the computer is being connected.
Extension cords and related devices
Ensure that extension cords, surge protectors, uninterruptible power supplies,
and power strips that you use are rated to handle the electrical requirements of
the product. Never overload these devices. If power strips are used, the load
should not exceed the power strip input rating. Consult an electrician for more
information if you have questions about power loads, power requirements, and
input ratings.
Chapter 1. Important safety information 5
Plugs and outlets
If a receptacle (power outlet) that you intend to use with your computer
equipment appears to be damaged or corroded, do not use the outlet until it is
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the
manufacturer to obtain a replacement.
Do not share an electrical outlet with other home or commercial appliances
that draw large amounts of electricity; otherwise, unstable voltage might
damage your computer, data, or attached devices.
Some products are equipped with a three-pronged plug. This plug fits only
into a grounded electrical outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat this
safety feature by trying to insert it into a non-grounded outlet. If you cannot
insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician for an approved outlet
adapter or to replace the outlet with one that enables this safety feature. Never
overload an electrical outlet. The overall system load should not exceed 80
percent of the branch circuit rating. Consult an electrician for more information
if you have questions about power loads and branch circuit ratings.
Be sure that the power outlet you are using is properly wired, easily accessible,
and located close to the equipment. Do not fully extend power cords in a way
that will stress the cords.
Be sure that the power outlet provides the correct voltage and current for the
product you are installing.
Carefully connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet.
External devices
Do not connect or disconnect any external device cables other than USB and
1394 cables while the computer power is on; otherwise, you might damage
your computer. To avoid possible damage to attached devices, wait at least five
seconds after the computer is shut down to disconnect external devices.
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.
6Safety and Warranty Guide
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 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.
Heat and product ventilation
Computers, power adapters, and many accessories can generate heat when
turned on and when batteries are charging. Always follow these basic
precautions:
vDo not leave your computer, power adapter, or accessories in contact with
your lap or any part of your body for an extended period when the
products are functioning or when the battery is charging. Your computer,
power adapter, and many accessories produce some heat during normal
operation. Extended contact with the body could cause discomfort or,
potentially, a skin burn.
vDo not charge the battery or operate your computer, power adapter, or
accessories near flammable materials or in explosive environments.
vVentilation slots, fans, and heat sinks are provided with the product for
safety, comfort, and reliable operation. These features might inadvertently
become blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, carpet, or other
flexible surface. Never block, cover, or disable these features.
Inspect your desktop computer for dust accumulation at least once every three
months. Before inspecting your computer, turn off the power and unplug the
computer’s power cord from the electrical outlet; then remove any dust from
vents and perforations in the bezel. If you notice external dust accumulation,
then examine and remove dust from the inside of the computer including heat
sink inlet fins, power supply vents, and fans. Always turn off and unplug the
computer before opening the cover. If possible, avoid operating your computer
within two feet of high-traffic areas. If you must operate your computer in or
near a high-traffic area, inspect and, if necessary, clean your computer more
frequently.
Chapter 1. Important safety information 7
For your safety and to maintain optimum computer performance, always
follow these basic precautions with your desktop computer:
vKeep the cover closed whenever the computer is plugged in.
vRegularly inspect the outside of the computer for dust accumulation.
vRemove dust from vents and any perforations in the bezel. More frequent
cleanings might be required for computers in dusty or high-traffic areas.
vDo not restrict or block any ventilation openings.
vDo not store or operate your computer inside furniture, as this might
increase the risk of overheating.
vAirflow temperatures into the computer should not exceed 35° C (95° F).
vDo not install air filtration devices. They may interfere with proper cooling.
Operating environment
The optimal environment in which to use your computer is 10°C-35°C
(50°F-95°F) with humidity ranging between 35% and 80%. If your computer is
stored or transported in temperatures less than 10°C (50°F), allow the cold
computer to rise slowly to an optimal operating temperature of 10°C-35°C
(50°F-95°F) before use. This process could take two hours in extreme
conditions. Failure to allow your computer to rise to an optimal operating
temperature before use could result in irreparable damage to your computer.
If possible, place your computer in a well-ventilated and dry area without
direct exposure to sunshine.
Keep electrical appliances such as an electric fan, radio, high-powered
speakers, air conditioner, and microwave oven away from your computer
because the strong magnetic fields generated by these appliances can damage
the monitor and data on the hard disk drive.
Do not place any beverages on top of or beside the computer or other attached
devices. If liquid is spilled on or in the computer or an attached device, a short
circuit or other damage might occur.
Do not eat or smoke over your keyboard. Particles that fall into your keyboard
can cause damage.

Figure 1. Proper grounding for the cable
12 Safety and Warranty Guide
The following notice applies to all countries and regions:
DANGER
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
equipment, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded as
to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges.
Lightning
For added protection for this equipment during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the 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.
Chapter 1. Important safety information 13
Cleaning and maintenance
Keep your computer and workspace clean. Shut down the computer and then
disconnect the power cord before cleaning the computer. Do not spray any
liquid detergent directly on the computer or use any detergent containing
flammable material to clean the computer. Spray the detergent on a soft cloth
and then wipe the computer surfaces.
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 earphones and
headphones output voltage and therefore the sound pressure 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 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.

This Lenovo Limited Warranty applies only to Lenovo branded hardware
products you purchased for your own use and not for resale. This Lenovo
Limited Warranty is available in other languages at www.lenovo.com/
warranty.
What this Warranty Covers
Lenovo warrants that each hardware product that you purchase is free from
defects in materials and workmanship under normal use during the warranty
period. The warranty period for the product starts on the original date of
purchase specified on your sales receipt or invoice unless Lenovo informs you
otherwise in writing. The warranty period and type of warranty service that
apply to your product are designated below under the section titled ″Warranty
Information.″
THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND REPLACES
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO
THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT,
SUCH WARRANTIES APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW
AND ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO
WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN
IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION ON
DURATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
How to Obtain Warranty Service
If the product does not function as warranted during the warranty period, you
may obtain warranty service by contacting Lenovo or an approved service
provider. Each of them is referred to as a ″Service Provider.″A list of Service
Providers and their telephone numbers is available at www.lenovo.com/
support/phone.
Warranty service may not be available in all locations and may differ from
location to location. Charges may apply outside a Service Provider’s normal
service area. Contact a local Service Provider for location-specific information.

What Your Service Provider Will Do to Correct Problems
When you contact a Service Provider, you must follow the problem
determination and resolution procedures specified.
Your Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem over
the telephone, e-mail, or through remote assistance. Your Service Provider may
direct you to download and install designated software updates.
Some problems can be resolved with a replacement part that you can install
yourself called a ″Customer Replaceable Unit″or ″CRU.″If so, your Service
Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.
If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or remotely, through
your application of software updates or the installation of a CRU by you, your
Service Provider will arrange for service under the type of warranty service
designated for the product under the section titled ″Warranty Information.″
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product,
your Service Provider will replace it with one that is at least functionally
equivalent.
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or replace
your product, your sole remedy is to return the product to your place of
purchase or to Lenovo for a refund of your purchase price.
Replacement of a Product or Part
When the warranty service involves the replacement of a product or part, the
replaced product or part becomes Lenovo’s property and the replacement
product or part becomes your property. Only unaltered Lenovo products and
parts are eligible for replacement. The replacement product or part provided
by Lenovo may not be new, but it will be in good working order and at least
functionally equivalent to the original product or part. The replacement
product or part shall be warranted for the balance of the period remaining on
the original product.
Before your Service Provider replaces a product or part, you agree to:
1. remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under
warranty service;
2. ensure that the product or part is free of any legal obligations or
restrictions that prevent its replacement; and
3. obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider service
a product or part if you do not own it.
20 Safety and Warranty Guide

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.
A warranty period of three (3) years on parts and one (1) year on labor means
that Lenovo will provide warranty service without charge for:
a. parts and labor during the first year of the warranty period (or a longer
period as required by law); and
b. parts only, on an exchange basis, in the second and third years of the
warranty period. Your Service Provider will charge you for any labor provided
in performance of the repair or replacement in the second and third years of
the warranty period.
Types of Warranty Service
1. Customer Replaceable Unit (″CRU″) Service
Under CRU Service, your Service Provider will ship CRUs to you 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, while
Optional-service CRUs 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 Lenovo to have Lenovo install Self-service
CRUs for you. You may find a list of CRUs and their designation in the
publication that ships with your product or at www.lenovo.com/CRUs. The
requirement to return a defective CRU, if any, will be specified in the materials
Chapter 3. Lenovo Limited Warranty 25
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 your Service Provider does not receive the defective CRU within thirty
(30) days of your receipt of the replacement.
2. On-site Service
Under On-Site Service, your 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 Lenovo product. For some products, certain
repairs may require your Service Provider to send the product to a designated
service center.
3. Courier or Depot Service
Under Courier or Depot Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at
a designated service center, with shipping arranged by your Service Provider.
You are responsible for disconnecting the product. A shipping container will be
provided to you for 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. Following its repair or exchange, the service center will arrange the
return delivery of the product to you.
4. Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service
Under Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service, your product will be repaired or
exchanged at a designated service center, with delivery or shipping arranged
by you. You are responsible to deliver or mail, as your Service Provider
specifies, (prepaid by you unless specified otherwise) the product, suitably
packaged to a designated location. After the product has been repaired or
exchanged, it will be made available for your collection. Failure to collect the
product may result in your Service Provider disposing of the product as it sees
fit. For Mail-in Service, the product will be returned to you at Lenovo’s
expense, unless your Service Provider specifies otherwise.
5. 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 used to ship the replacement product and
return it to Lenovo. Transportation charges, both ways, are paid by Lenovo.
Failure to use the carton in which the replacement product was received may
result in your responsibility for damage to the failed product during shipment.
26 Safety and Warranty Guide
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 5. 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.
vSelf-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.
vOptional-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.
vBoth types of CRUs are listed in the table on the following page.
The ThinkCentre User Guide provides instructions for replacing Self-service and
Optional-service CRUs. Refer to the following table to determine which
