6.9 Upgrading Memory and Replacing Hot-Swap and LRU Components 6.9.1 Preventing Static Electricity Figure 6-20 Grounding Wrist Strap SV-2000-X2 Server (CENTRIX / JHSV) Part Number: 1008080 This section provides procedures for replacing all Hot-Swappable and LRU components, including procedures for replacing or adding system memory. The components inside your computer are extremely sensitive to static electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD).
• Avoid touching the edge connectors and components on the cards. Never slide memory modules or components over any surface. Your TAG Server was designed with the ability to Hot-Swap a power supply module without disconnecting system power. Refer to Figure 4- 12 and the steps that follow to Hot-Swap a power supply module.
You might also have to reconfigure your application software to operate without the removed drive. Therefore it is strongly recommended that you contact TAG Technical Support at before attempting to Hot-Swap a hard drive. For more information on contact information see document back page.
CAUTION It is not safe to operate TAG Servers without the cover in place. Failure to take this precaution may result in personal injury and system damage.
Operations Manual WARNING Ensure that the system is powered-down and all power sources have been disconnected from the Server prior to removing or replacing system memory. Failure to do so could result in serious injury from electrical shock. CAUTION Printed circuit boards and hard drives contain electronic components that are extremely sensitive to static electricity.
