This document contains instructions on how to install, remove, or replace Customer Replaceable Units
(CRUs) and Field Replaceable Units (FRUs).
Replaceable components are of three types:
• Self-service CRUs : Self-service CRUs are easy to install and customers are responsible for replacing all
Self-service CRUs. If a Lenovo service technician installs a Self-service CRU at your request, you will be
charged for the installation.
• Optional-service CRUs : Although dealing with Optional-service CRUs requires some technical skills,
Optional-service CRUs are safe for customers to replace. You may install an Optional-service CRU
yourself or request Lenovo to install it, at no additional charge, under the type of warranty service that
is designated for the server.
• FRUs : FRUs must be replaced only by trained service technicians.
