Chapter 1. Introduction
This document describes the procedures to diagnose and replace hardware in ThinkAgile VX132 Appliance,
VX 1SE Certified Node models.
• Chapter 2 “Identify parts” on page 3 identifies the location of model parts.
• Chapter 3 “Hardware replacement procedures” on page 7 details diagnosis and part replacement
procedures.
• Chapter 4 “Software tools” on page 15 describes software tools to help configure the models.
• Chapter 5 “Configuration procedures” on page 17 details configuration procedures that may be required
for some part replacements.
Use the following general steps to maintain and replace hardware:
• Identify and diagnose a problem
• Request and receive a replacement part (customer replaceable unit – CRU) from Lenovo
• Node shut down, unless it is a hot-swap part
• Part replacement
• Node power on, unless it is a hot-swap part
• Verify the problem is resolved by part replacement
• Return failed part(s) to Lenovo
Customer replaceable units (CRUs) are parts that can be replaced in the ThinkAgile VX132 Appliance, VX
1SE Certified Node models.
Note: parts cannot be removed or added.
Replacement of CRUs is user responsibility. Lenovo charges for CRU installation at user request. The most
important CRU replacements are:
• “Replace a front HDD/SSD” on page 7
• “Replace a power supply unit (PSU)” on page 8
• “Replace a chassis fan” on page 9
• “Replace a network interface card (NIC)” on page 1
• “Replace a host bus adapter (HBA)” on page 11
• “Replace a memory DIMM” on page 13
• “Replace an M.2 Adapter” on page 13
You may request Lenovo install a Field replacement unit (FRU) at no additional charge, while under warranty.
Some of the most important FRU parts include Microprocessors and System Motherboards.
