Removal and Replacement Procedures
Preparation Procedures
WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by Compaq should attempt to repair
this equipment. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies,
no one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications
to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure that
you are properly grounded (earthed) before beginning any installation procedure. Refer to
“Electrostatic Discharge Information” earlier in this chapter for more information.
Powering Down the Server
Before beginning any removal and replacement procedure:
CAUTION: Failure to follow these directions could result in damage to equipment or loss of
information.
1. Back up your server data and record configuration information.
2. Shut down the operating system as directed in your operating system instructions.
3. If necessary, power down the server by pressing the power button on the front of the
server.
NOTE: To completely remove all power from the server, you must disconnect the power cord.
The front panel power button may not completely shut down power to the server.
4. Disconnect and remove the AC power cord from the AC outlet, and then from the server.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from electric shock or damage to the
equipment when installing hardware, make sure that the power to the server is turned
off. Remove any AC power cords to completely disconnect power from the system. The
front panel power button may not completely remove power to the server.
5. Disconnect any other external equipment connections to the server.
