This chapter contains the parts listing for the IBM BladeCenter HS23 blade server.

Replaceable components consist of consumable parts, structural parts, and customer replaceable units (CRUs):

  • Consumables: Purchase and replacement of consumables (components, such as batteries and printer cartridges, that have depleting life) is your responsibility. If IBM acquires or installs a consumable component at your request, you will be charged for the service.
  • Structural parts: Purchase and replacement of structural parts (components, such as chassis assembly, top cover, and bezel) is your responsibility. If IBM acquires or installs a structural component at your request, you will be charged for the service.
  • Customer replaceable unit (CRU):
    • Tier 1 customer replaceable unit: 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.
    • 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. Some tier 2 CRUs must be installed only by trained technicians.
