Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) are parts that can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. Lenovo 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 customers 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.

Appendix A. System memory speed

The Intel Xeon or Intel Core microprocessor families compatible with this ThinkStation computer feature an integrated memory controller. The memory controller provides the microprocessor with direct access to the system memory. Therefore, the system memory speed will be determined by the memory module type, frequency, size (capacity), the number of memory modules installed, and the microprocessor model.

Notes:

The actual system memory speed of the memory modules varies depending on the microprocessor model. For example, your computer comes with 2666 MT/s memory modules, but the microprocessor only supports up to 2400 MT/s memory modules. Then the system memory speed will be no faster than 2400 MT/s.

The microprocessor models supported in your computer might vary. For a list of supported microprocessor models, contact the Lenovo Customer Support Center.

Refer to the following information about the system memory speed:

Memory module type:

DDR4 non-ECC UDIMMs

Memory module operating voltage: 1.2 V

Memory module speed: 3200 MT/s
