Chapter 5. 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 4, “Parts listing, System x3655, Type 7985 and 7943,” on page 93 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.
Installation guidelines
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 107. 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. 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
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/support/xseries/index.html, select System
x3655 from the Hardware list, click Go , and click the Download tab. For
additional information about tools for updating, managing, and deploying
firmware, see the System x and xSeries Tools Center at http://
publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/toolsctr/v1r0/index.jsp.
v Before you install optional hardware devices, make sure that the server is
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

Solving
problems

in the Installation Guide for diagnostic information.
v Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed
covers and other parts in a safe place.
v
If you must start the server while the cover is removed, make sure that no one is
near the server and that no tools or other objects have been left inside the
server.
v Do not attempt to lift an object that you think is too heavy for you. If you have to
lift a heavy object, observe the following precautions:
– Make sure that you can stand safely without slipping.
– Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
– Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you lift a heavy
object.
