5 Customer replaceable units

Customer self repair (CSR)

Table 13 (page 77)

and

Table 20 (page 77)

identifies which hardware components are customer

replaceable. Using HP Insight Remote Support or other diagnostic tools, a support specialist will
work with you to diagnose and assess whether a replacement component is required to address
a system problem. The specialist will also help you determine whether you can perform the
replacement.

Parts only warranty service

Your HP Limited Warranty may include a parts only warranty service. Under the terms of parts
only warranty service, HP will provide replacement parts free of charge.

For parts only warranty service, CSR part replacement is mandatory. If you request HP to replace
these parts, you will be charged for travel and labor costs.

Best practices for replacing hardware components

The following information will help you replace the hardware components on your storage system
successfully.

CAUTION:

Removing a component significantly changes the air flow within the enclosure. All

components must be installed for the enclosure to cool properly. If a component fails, leave it in
place in the enclosure until a new component is available to install.

Component replacement videos

To assist you in replacing the components, videos have been produced of the procedures. To view
the videos, go to the following website and navigate to your product:

Verifying component failure

Consult HP technical support to verify that the hardware component has failed and that you
are authorized to replace it yourself.

Additional hardware failures can complicate component replacement. Check HP P6000
Command View and/or HP Insight Remote Support as follows to detect any additional hardware
problems:

When you have confirmed that a component replacement is required, you may want to
clear the Real Time Monitoring view. This makes it easier to identify additional hardware
problems that may occur while waiting for the replacement part.

Before installing the replacement part, check the Real Time Monitoring view for any new
hardware problems. If additional hardware problems have occurred, contact HP support
before replacing the component.

See the HP Insight Remote Support documentation for additional information.

Identifying the spare part

Parts have a nine-character spare component number on their label (

Figure 26 (page 77)

). For

some spare parts, the part number will be available in HP P6000 Command View. Alternatively,
the HP call center will assist in identifying the correct spare part number.
