Customer Replaceable Unit ("CRU") Service
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.
On-site Service
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.
Courier or Depot Service*
You will disconnect the failing Machine for collection arranged by IBM. IBM will provide you with
a shipping container for you to return your Machine to a designated service center. A courier will
pick up your Machine and deliver it to the designated service center. Following its repair or
exchange, IBM will arrange the return delivery of the Machine to your location. You are responsible
for its installation and verification.
Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service
You will deliver or mail as IBM specifies (prepaid unless IBM specifies otherwise) the failing
Machine suitably packaged to a location IBM designates. After IBM has repaired or exchanged the
Machine, IBM will make it available for your collection or, for Mail-in Service, IBM will return it
to you at IBM's expense, unless IBM specifies otherwise. You are responsible for the subsequent
installation and verification of the Machine.
