14 Planning for CRU Replacement
When you replace a CRU online, you must prepare all elements in the system that are 
affected by the removal of that CRU, such as other CRUs and processes. Use the 
procedure in this section and worksheets to determine which components of a system 
are affected by removal of a PMF CRU, SEB, or MSEB. 
To replace a PMF CRU, SEB, or MSEB, you must use a guided replacement tool which 
automatically detects the affected components and prepares the system for CRU 
replacement. See the Service Management Packages on page 1-35 for guided 
replacement tools which contain online help topics. 
For more information about the pathways, see ServerNet Communication Pathways on 
page 6-1. 
ServerNet Communication Pathways 
Worksheets
The ServerNet communication pathways worksheets help you trace the ServerNet 
communication pathways in your system so that you can determine which components 
and enclosures would be affected by the removal of a PMF CRU, SEB, or MSEB. 
Copy the appropriate worksheets from Appendix C, Blank Forms.
