Customer Replaceable Units

Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) are parts that can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. ThinkStation computers contain the following types of CRUs:

Self-service CRUs: Refer to parts that can be installed or replaced easily by customer themselves or by trained service technicians at an additional cost.
Optional-service CRUs: Refer to parts that can be installed or replaced by customers with a greater skill level. Trained service technicians can also provide service to install or replace the parts under the type of warranty designated for the customer’s machine.

If you intend on installing the CRU, Lenovo will ship the CRU to you. CRU information and replacement instructions are shipped with your product and are available from Lenovo at any time upon request. You might be required to return the defective part that is replaced by the CRU. When return is required: (1) return instructions, a prepaid shipping label, and a container will be included with the replacement CRU; and (2) you might be charged for the replacement CRU if Lenovo does not receive the defective CRU within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. See your Lenovo Limited Warranty documentation at https://www.lenovo.com/warranty/llw_02 for full details.

For the CRU information of your computer, refer to the following list.
