Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) Service
IBM provides a replacement CRU to you for you to install. CRU information and
replacement instructions are shipped with your machine and are available from
IBM at any time on your request. A CRU is designated as being either a Tier 1
(mandatory) or a Tier 2 (optional) CRU. Installation of Tier 1 CRUs, as specified
in this announcement, is your responsibility. If IBM installs a Tier 1 CRU at your
request, you will be charged for the installation. You may install a Tier 2 CRU
yourself or request IBM to install it, at no additional charge, under the type of
warranty service designated for your Machine.
Based upon availability, a CRU will be shipped for next business day (NBD) delivery.
IBM specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CRU whether a defective
CRU must be returned to IBM . When return is required, return instructions and a
container are shipped with the replacement CRU, and you may be charged for the
replacement CRU if IBM does not receive the defective CRU within 15 days of your
receipt of the replacement.
The following parts or features have been designated as Tier 1 CRUs:
• Battery

reassembly of the IBM machine. The area must be clean, well lit, and suitable for
the purpose. On-site Service is not available in all countries, and some countries
