Removing an Alarm Card

To remove an alarm card, see Figure 6-35 and follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist and connect the leash to the chassis or to another grounded, bare metal surface.

Step 2 Loosen the captive screw on each side of the alarm card.

Step 3 Grasp the handle on the front of the alarm card and slide the alarm card halfway out of the slot, then stop.

Step 4 Touching only the metal card carrier, use your free hand to support the bottom of the alarm card.

Step 5 Remove the card from the slot and place it directly into an antistatic bag or other ESD-preventive container.

If you plan to return the defective alarm card to the factory, repackage it in the shipping container you received with the replacement card.
