Removing and replacing components
Replaceable components consist of consumable parts, structural parts, and field
replaceable units (FRUs):
v Consumables: Purchase and replacement of consumables (components, such as
batteries and printer cartridges, that have depleting life) is your responsibility. If
IBM acquires or installs a consumable component at your request, you will be
charged for the service.
v Structural parts: Purchase and replacement of structural parts (components, such
as chassis assembly, top cover, and bezel) is your responsibility. If IBM acquires
or installs a structural component at your request, you will be charged for the
service.
v Field replaceable unit (FRU): FRUs must be installed only by trained
technicians, unless they are classified as customer replaceable units (CRUs):
– Tier 1 customer replaceable unit (CRU): Replacement of Tier 1 CRUs is your
responsibility. If IBM installs a Tier 1 CRU at your request, you will be
charged for the installation.
– Tier 2 customer replaceable unit: You may install a Tier 2 CRU yourself or
request IBM to install it, at no additional charge, under the type of warranty
service that is designated for your server.
See Chapter 5, “Parts listing, IBM System x3530 M4 Type 7160,” on page 265 to
determine whether a component is a consumable, structural, or FRU that must be
replaced only by a trained service technician.
For information about the terms of the warranty, see the Warranty Information
document that comes with the server.
