Before You Begin

guidelines.
!
WARNING
Be sure that power to the system is turned off and
unplugged. All voltage is removed only when the power
cords are unplugged.
! Avoid excessive vibration and shock. Dropping an electronic component
can cause serious damage.
! Do not disconnect or remove parts other than those specified in the
procedure.
! Do not touch I/O connector pins.
! All screws are phillips-head, unless otherwise specified.
! On completion of any assembly or reassembly, perform a power-on test.
If a fault occurs, verify that the assembly or reassembly was performed
correctly. If the problem persists, see "Problem Solving" in Chapter 5.

Static Precautions

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, option boards, and
other components. You can provide some ESD protection by wearing an
antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground when handling system
components.
Electronic devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. To prevent
damage, keep them in their protective packaging when they are not installed in
your system.
