Chapter 5. Removing and replacing server components
Replaceable components are of four types:
v Consumable Parts: Purchase and replacement of consumable parts
(components, such as batteries and printer cartridges, that have depletable life)
is your responsibility. If IBM acquires or installs a consumable part at your
request, you will be charged for the service.
v 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.
v 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.
v Field replaceable unit (FRU): FRUs must be installed only by trained service
technicians.
See Chapter 4, “Parts listing, Type 7377 server,” on page 125 to determine whether
a component is a Tier 1 CRU, Tier 2 CRU, or FRU.
For information about the terms of the warranty, see the Warranty Information
document.
Installation guidelines
Attention:
v Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is
powered-on might cause the system to halt, which might result in the loss of
data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist
strap or other grounding system when removing or installing a hot-swap device.
v This product is not intended to be connected directly or indirectly by any means
whatsoever to interfaces of public telecommunications networks, neither to be
used in Public Services Network.
Before you remove or replace a component, read the following information:
v Read the safety information that begins on page vii, and the guidelines in
“Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 135. This information will help you
work safely.
v When you install your new server, take the opportunity to download and apply
the most recent firmware updates.
Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated
code updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level
of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.This step
will help to ensure that any known issues are addressed and that your server is
ready to function at maximum levels of performance. To download firmware
updates for your server, complete the following steps:
1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.
2. Under Product support, click System x.
3. Under Popular links, click Software and device drivers.
4. Click System x3630 M3 to display the matrix of downloadable files for the
server.
