Important information about replacing RoHS compliant FRUs

RoHS, The Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Directive (2002/95/EC) is a European Union legal requirement
affecting the global electronics industry. RoHS requirements must be
implemented on Lenovo products placed on the market after June 2006. Products
on the market before June 2006 are not required to have RoHS compliant parts.
So, if the original FRU parts are non compliant, replacement parts can also be
non compliant. In all cases if the original FRU parts are RoHS compliant the
replacement part must also be RoHS compliant.
Lenovo plans to transition to RoHS compliance well before the implementation
date and expects its suppliers to be ready to support Lenovo's requirements and
schedule. Products sold in 2005, will contain some RoHS compliant FRUs. The
following statement pertains to these products and any product Lenovo produces
containing RoHS compliant FRUs.
RoHS compliant FRUs have unique FRU part numbers. Before or after the RoHS
implementation date, failed RoHS compliant parts must always be replaced using
RoHS compliant FRUs, so only the FRUs identified as compliant in the system
HMM or direct substitutions for those FRUs may be used.
Note: A direct substitution is a part with a different FRU part number that is
6
MT 0656, 0657, 0658, 0659, 9455, 9456, 9457, 9458, 9459, 9460, 9461, 9462, 9463, 9464
