Chapter 5. Removing, and replacing components
This chapter contains the detailed procedures for replacing hardware components in the Lenovo Converged
HX Series appliances.
Replaceable components consist of the following:
•
Structural parts:
Purchase and replacement of structural parts (components, such as chassis assembly
and top cover) is your responsibility. If Lenovo acquires or installs a structural component at your request,
you will be charged for the service.
•
Consumable parts:
Purchase and replacement of consumable parts (components, such as fan cage
and blank fan filler) is your responsibility. If Lenovo acquires or installs a consumable component at
your request, you will be charged for the service.
•
Tier 1 CRU:
Replacement of Tier 1 CRUs is your responsibility. If Lenovo installs a Tier 1 CRU at your
request, you will be charged for the installation.
•
Tier 2 CRU:
You may install a Tier 2 CRU yourself or request Lenovo to install it, at no additional charge,
under the type of warranty service that is designated for your server.
See Chapter 4 “Parts listing, Lenovo Converged HX Series Type 8695” on page 91 to determine whether a
component is a structural part, consumable part, Tier 1 CRU, or Tier 2 CRU.
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 Appendix D “Getting help and technical
assistance” on page 1207.
Removing and replacing guidelines
Use the guidelines to remove and replace components in the Lenovo Converged HX Series Type 8695.
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 device.
Before you remove or replace devices, read the following information:
• Read the safety information in “Safety” on page v, the guidelines in “Working inside the server with the
power on” on page 103, and “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 103. This information will
help you work safely.
• Make sure that the devices that you are installing are supported.
• 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/support/ fixcentral.
Important:
Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the
device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster solution
before you update the code.
