Chapter 4. Removing and replacing blade workstation 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 that is designated for your server. v Field replaceable unit (FRU): FRUs must be installed only by trained service technicians. See Chapter 3, "Parts listing, Type 7996," on page 11 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 15. This information will help you work safely. v When you install your new blade workstation, 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 blade workstation is ready to function at maximum levels of performance. To download the latest firmware, complete the following steps. Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document. 1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/. 2. Under Product support, click BladeCenter. 3. Under Popular links, click Software and device drivers. 4. Click BladeCenter HC10 Type 7996 to display the matrix of downloadable files for the BladeCenter product. v Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place. v Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives. v Before you remove a blade workstation from the BladeCenter unit, you must shut down the operating system and turn off the blade workstation. You do not have to shut down the BladeCenter unit itself. v Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component to remove it from or install it in the blade workstation, open or close a latch, and so on. v Orange on a component or an orange label on or near a component indicates that the component can be hot-swapped, which means that if the server and operating system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the component while the server is running.
