Removal and replacement procedures

Required tools

You need the following items for some procedures:
•
T-10/T-15 Torx screwdriver (included with the server)
•
HP Insight Diagnostics software

Safety considerations

Before performing service procedures, review all the safety information.

Preventing electrostatic discharge

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the
system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage
system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the
device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
•
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
•
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
•
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
•
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
•
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Server warnings and cautions

Before installing a server, be sure that you understand the following warnings and cautions.
WARNING:
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
•
feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at
•
all times.
Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
•
Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed
•
against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the
cord extends from the server.
