Chapter 4. Removing and replacing server components
Replaceable components are of three types:
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 3, “Parts listing, System x3200 M2 Types 4367 and 4368,” on page 33
to determine whether a component is a Tier 1 CRU, Tier 2 CRU, or FRU.
For information about the terms of the warranty and getting service and assistance,
see the
Warranty and Support Information
document.
For additional information and important notes about installing options in the server,
see the specific options section in the
User's Guide
on the
System x Documentation
CD.

of performance. To download firmware updates for your server, complete the
following steps.

working correctly. Start the server, and make sure that the operating system
starts, if an operating system is installed, or that a 19990305 error code is
displayed, indicating that an operating system was not found but the server is
otherwise working correctly. If the server is not working correctly, see Chapter 5,
