Caution: The components inside the system are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Always wear a wrist strap when you work with parts inside your system.

To use the wrist strap, follow these steps:

1.Unroll the first two folds of the band.

2.Wrap the exposed adhesive side firmly around your wrist, unroll the rest of the band, and then peel the liner from the copper foil at the opposite end.

3.Attach the copper foil to an exposed electrical ground, such as a metal part of the chassis.

Caution: Do not attempt to install or remove components that are not listed in Table 6-1. Components not listed must be installed or removed by a qualified SGI field engineer.

Table 6-1 lists the customer-replaceable components and the page on which you can find the instructions for installing or removing the component.
