TECHNICIAN NOTES

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> WARNING <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Only authorized technicians trained by Compaq Computer Corporation should

attempt to repair this equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures

are detailed to allow only subassembly/module level repair. Because of the

complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, no one should

attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to

any printed circuit board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. Any

indication of component replacement or printed circuit board modifications

may void the warranty or exchange allowances.

To properly ventilate the computer or the expansion base, allow at least 3

inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the back and sides of the units.

To avoid the risk of electric shock or damage to the computer or expansion

base, ensure that all power sources (including the battery pack in the

computer) are disconnected before removing and replacing internal parts.

Compaq SmartStation. The Compaq SmartStation expansion base is designed

for connection to a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet. The grounding

type plug is an important safety feature. To avoid the risk of electric

shock or damage to the equipment, do not disable this feature.
