There are two types of CRU: self-service and optional-service. Self-service CRUs are easy to install. They may be standalone or latched, or require a screwdriver to remove a maximum of two screws, whereas optional-service CRUs require some technical skill, as well as tools such as a screwdriver. However, both self-service and optional-service CRUs are safe for the customer to remove and replace. Customers are responsible for replacing all self-service CRUs. Optional-service CRUs can be removed and installed by customers or, during the warranty period, by a Lenovo service technician.
