Introduction

NOTE
Read the safety notices before servicing
The field-replaceable units (FRUs) in the device can be removed and replaced without special tools. The device can continue operating
during many of the FRU replacements if the conditions specified in the procedures are followed.
The following sections contain FRU removal and replacement procedures (RRPs).

ESD precautions

The device contains ESD-sensitive FRUs. When working with any device FRU, use correct electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures.
• Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to chassis ground (if the device is plugged in) or a bench ground.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
• Store all ESD-sensitive components in antistatic packaging.
CAUTION
Static electricity can damage the chassis and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive
devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.

Chassis door removal and replacement

NOTE
The chassis door must be installed to ensure that the device meets EMI and other regulatory
certifications.
