Machine type and model labelThe machine type and model label identifies your computer. When you contact Lenovo for help, themachine type and model information helps support technicians to identify your computer and providefaster service.The machine type and model label is attached on the side of your computer as shown.Overview7
I/O boxOverviewNoteI/O boxDepending on your computer model, the I/O box might be optional.1USB 2.0 connectors (2)2Serial connector (optional)3USB 2.0 connectors (2)4USB 3.0 connectors (2)5USB 3.0 connector(for connecting to the computer)8
Using the I/O boxWhen you use the I/O box with the ThinkCentre tiny computer, note the following: The I/O box supports a maximum current rating of 5 A. It is recommended that you connect low-currentdevices to the I/O box and connect high-current devices directly to the ThinkCentre tiny computer toensure the best performance of the devices. The USB 2.0 connectors and USB 3.0 connectors on the I/O box provide a current of 500 mA and 900mA current, respectively. When you connect a high-current storage drive to only one USB connector, thesystem might not recognize the device. You can connect the storage drive to two USB connectors on theI/O box. The serial connector does not support hot swapping. Do not connect a device to the connector orremove a device from the connector while the system is running. The connectors on the I/O box cannot be enabled or disabled individually. To enable or disable any of theconnectors on the I/O box, enable or disable the USB connectors on the rear of the computer. The I/O box enables you to wake up the computer from standby mode through operations on devicesconnected to the I/O box connectors.I/O box9
Computer locksAttaching a Kensington-style cable lockYou can use a Kensington-style cable lock to secure your computer to a desk, table, or othernonpermanent fixture. The cable lock connects to the security-lock slot at the rear of your computer.Depending on the type selected, the cable lock can be operated with a key or combination. The cable lockalso locks the buttons used to open the computer cover. This is the same type of lock used with manynotebook computers. You can order such a cable lock directly from Lenovo by searching for Kensington at:http://www.lenovo.com/support.Computer locks10

Replacing hardwareBefore replacing hardwareAttentionDo not open your computer or attempt any repairs before reading the ImportantProduct Information Guide.Read these notes before replacing hardware: Some of the hardware components explained in this manual are optional. Use computer components provided only by Lenovo. When installing or replacing an option, use the appropriate instructions explained in this manual alongwith the instructions that come with the option. In most areas of the world, Lenovo requires the return of defective CRUs (Customer Replaceable Units).Information about this will come with the CRU or will come a few days after the CRU arrives.Handling static-sensitive devicesDo not open the static-protective package containing the new component until the defective componenthas been removed and you are ready to install the new component. Static electricity, although harmless toyou, can seriously damage computer components.When you handle parts and other computer components, take these precautions to avoid static damage: Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you. Always handle parts and other computer components carefully. Handle PCI/PCI-Express cards, memorymodules, system boards, and microprocessors by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry. Prevent others from touching the parts and other computer components. Touch the static-protective package containing the part to a metal expansion-slot cover or otherunpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity fromthe package and your body before you install or replace a new part. When possible, remove the new part from the static-protective package, and install it directly in thecomputer without setting the part down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective packagethat the part came in on a smooth, level surface and place the part on the package. Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.Replacing hardware12
Knowing replaceable partsCustomer-Replaceable Units (CRUs)CRUs are computer parts that a user can upgrade or replace. There are two types of CRUs: self-service andoptional-service.Self-service CRUsYou can install self-service CRUs easily. These CRUs might be standalone,latched, or secured by up to two screws.Examples of self-service CRUs include the keyboard, mouse, any USBdevice, and the power cord. Other self-service CRUs might include memorymodules, adapter cards, hard disk drives, and optical drives.NoteOptional-serviceCRUsUsers are responsible for replacing all self-service CRUs.Handling optional-service CRUs requires some technical skills and simpletools (such as a screwdriver).These CRUs are isolated parts within the computer. They are usuallyconcealed by an access panel that is secured by more than two screws. Youmust remove the screws and panel to access the specific CRU.Optional-service CRUs can be removed and installed by users or, during thewarranty period, by a Lenovo service technician.Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs)FRUs are computer parts that a trained technician can upgrade or replace.For detailed FRU information, such as the FRU part numbers and supported computer models, go ing hardware13

Replacing FRUsBefore replacing FRUsBefore replacing any Field Replaceable Units (FRUs), read the following: Only certified and trained personnel can service the computer. Before replacing an FRU, read the entire section about replacing the part. Be extremely careful during writing operations such as copying, saving, or formatting.The sequence of the drives in the computer that you are servicing might have been altered. If you select anincorrect drive, data or programs might be overwritten. Replace an FRU only with another FRU of the correct model.When you replace an FRU, ensure that the model of the machine and the FRU part number are correct byreferring to the website http://www.lenovo.com/serviceparts-lookup. An FRU should not be replaced because of a single, unreproducible failure.Single failures can occur for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware defect, such ascosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. Consider replacing an FRU only when a problemrecurs. If you suspect that an FRU is defective, clear the error log and run the test again. If the error does notrecur, do not replace the FRU. Only replace a defective FRU.To check the locations of FRUs, see CRUs and FRUs locations.AttentionReplacing FRUsDo not open your computer or attempt any repairs before reading the ImportantProduct Information Guide.39
