Replacing compute block hardware

Procedures for replacing the Lenovo ThinkAgile CP compute block hardware.

This section contains detailed procedures for replacing hardware parts in the ThinkAgile CP compute block. If you are instructed to return a part, follow all packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials supplied to you for shipping.

The types of replaceable parts include:

• Structural parts: Purchase and replacement of structural parts such as enclosure assembly, top cover, and bezel is your responsibility. If Lenovo acquires or installs a structural component at your request, you will be charged for the service.

• Customer-replaceable unit (CRU): Replacing CRUs is your responsibility. You can request a Lenovo field representative to install a CRU, but you will be charged for the service.

• Field-replaceable unit (FRU): You may install a FRU yourself, or request a Lenovo to install it at no additional charge while the appliance is under warranty.

Refer to Roles and responsibilities to determine who can perform these procedures.
