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 Chapter 2 "Roles and responsibilities" on page 15 to determine who can perform these procedures.

firmware for that part. Contact Lenovo Support for firmware updates.

Replace compute network cables

This section describes how to replace compute network cables.
Procedure performed by: Customer or field service
Replacing a cable that connects the compute enclosure to an interconnect can be done live, without any
specific preparation steps.
When a cable is disconnected, the compute node associated with the port decreases in bandwidth by 50%.
