Customer Replaceable Unit (“CRU”) Service
IBM will ship CRU parts to you for your replacement. If IBM instructs you to return the replaced
CRU, you are responsible for returning it to IBM in accordance with IBM’s instructions. If you do
not return the defective CRU, if IBM so instructs, within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement
CRU, IBM may charge you for the replacement.

On-site Service
IBM or your reseller will either repair or exchange the failing Machine at your location and verify
its operation. You must provide suitable working area to allow disassembly and reassembly of the
IBM Machine. The area must be clean, well lit and suitable for the purpose.
For some Machines,
certain repairs may require sending the Machine to an IBM service center.
3.
Courier or Depot Service*
You will disconnect the failing Machine for collection arranged by IBM. IBM will provide you
with a shipping container for you to return your Machine to a designated service center. A courier
will pick up your Machine and deliver it to the designated service center. Following its repair or
exchange, IBM will arrange the return delivery of the Machine to your location. You are responsi-
ble for its installation and verification.
4.
Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service
You will deliver or mail as IBM specifies (prepaid unless IBM specifies otherwise) the failing Ma-
chine suitably packaged to a location IBM designates. After IBM has repaired or exchanged the
Machine, IBM will make it available for your collection or, for Mail-in Service, IBM will return it
to you at IBM’s expense, unless IBM specifies otherwise. You are responsible for the subsequent
installation and verification of the Machine.
