Precautions When Removing, Installing, or Storing FRUs
Use the precautions listed below when you remove, handle, or store FRUs:
◆Do not remove a faulty FRU until you have a replacement available.
◆Handle a FRU only when using an ESD wristband. Attach the clip of the ESD wristband to the ESD bracket or bare metal on the enclosure, and put the wristband around your wrist with the metal button against your skin.
◆Handle FRUs gently. A sudden jar, drop, or vibration can permanently damage a FRU and may not be immediately evident. Never place a FRU on a hard surface such as an unpadded cart, floor, or desktop, or stacked on top of another FRU.
◆Never use excessive force to remove or install a FRU.
◆Store a FRU in the antistatic bag and specially designed shipping container in which you received it. Use that container if you need to return the FRU for repair.
◆Maintain the location where you store FRUs within the limits specified in Appendix A.
◆Place the cables where no one can step on them or roll equipment over them.
