How to Clean the Bulkhead Array Connectors

To clean the bulkhead array connectors, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to an ESD connection socket or a bare metal surface on the chassis.

Step 2 Insert the array adapter into an array connector. Verify that the connector shutters open fully when you insert the adapter (see Figure 3-3).
