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.

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.

Note: RoHS and non-RoHS FRU part numbers with the same fit and function are

identified with unique FRU part numbers.

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 in the EU. Products sold in 2005 and 2006, 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.
