Removing A Dsimm - Sun Microsystems SPARCstation 5 Model 110 Service Manual

Caution – DSIMMs installed in your system must have been specifically designed
to operate in it. Do not remove DSIMMs from a different Sun system and install them
in a SPARCstation 5 system.
Caution – A DSIMM is made of delicate electronic components that are extremely
sensitive to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of static from your clothes or work
environment can destroy a DSIMM. Handle a DSIMM only by the edges. Do not
touch the components on the DSIMM or any metal parts. Wear a grounding strap
before unpacking and during handling of a DSIMM. Do not disconnect the power cord
from the system unit's power receptacle. The power cord should be left plugged in to a
grounded power
you can safely remove and install DSIMMs and other components. Be sure that the
system unit power is in Standby mode. Check the green light-emitting diode (LED)
at the front of the chassis to be sure it is not lit.
