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 location and verify its operation. You must provide suitable working
area to allow disassembly and reassembly of the IBM Machine. The area
must be clean, well lit and suitable for the purpose. For some Machines,
certain repairs may require sending the Machine to an IBM service center.
You will disconnect the failing Machine for collection arranged by IBM.
IBM will provide you with a shipping container for you to return your
