IBM provides replacement CRUs 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. Installation of Tier 1 CRUs 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. IBM specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement
CRU whether a defective CRU must be returned to IBM. When return is
required, 1) return instructions and a container are shipped with the
replacement CRU, and 2) you may be charged for the replacement CRU if IBM
does not receive the defective CRU within 30 days of your receipt of the
replacement.
IBM or your reseller will either repair or exchange the failing Machine at your

well lit and suitable for the purpose. For some Machines, certain repairs may
require sending the Machine to an IBM service center.
