Chapter 6. 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 x3300 M4 Type 7382,” on page 303 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.
For more information about getting service and assistance, see “Getting help and

Installation guidelines
Attention:
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
devices.
Before you install optional devices, read the following information:
v
Read the safety information that begins in Safety and the guidelines in
“Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 39. This information will help you
work safely.
v
Make sure that the devices that you are installing are supported. For a list of
supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/
info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/.
v
When you install your new server, take the opportunity to download and apply
the most recent firmware updates. 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, go to
