Static electricity can permanently damage the integrated circuits on all RLS
PCBAs. There are several CMOS chips on the Drive Bay PCBA Assembly be-
tween the board and the mounting bracket (not visible while assembled).
Standard ANTI-STATIC practices should be employed when working on the
RLS. At a minimum, touch an unpainted portion of the RLS chassis before
handling any PCBAs.
Required Tools and Supplies:
No. 1 Phillips Screwdriver
No. 2 Phillips Screwdriver
5/64-inch Allen (Hex) Wrench
3-inch Cable Tie (P/N 669-1001-9)
1/4-inch Hex Nut driver or Wrench
