Removing and replacing parts
Use these procedures to remove and replace failing parts. These parts are referred to as field replaceable
units (FRUs).
Note: See the International Information Bulletin for Customers - Installation of IBM

Machines
(http://www.ibm.com/e-business/linkweb/publications/servlet/pbi.wss). This bulletin (Publication
number: SC27-6601-00) provides a list of the key IBM system installation activities and those activities
that might be billable activities.
Before you begin a replacement, complete these tasks:
1.
If you are completing a replacement procedure that might put your data at risk, ensure, if possible,
that you have a current backup of your system or logical partition (including operating systems,
licensed programs, and data).
2. Review the installation or replacement procedure for the feature or part.
3. Note the significance of color on your system.
v The color terracotta on the part indicates you might not need to power off the system to complete
service. This determination depends on your system configuration, and you might need to complete
steps to prepare the system before a service action can be completed on the system with the system
power turned on.
v The color blue on the part indicates that the procedure might require the system to be shut down
before servicing. Check your service procedure before you attempt the repair.
4. Ensure that you have access to a medium, flat-blade screwdriver, and a Phillips screwdriver.
5. If parts are incorrect, missing, or visibly damaged, contact the provider of the part or your next level
of support.
