Removing, installing, or storing replaceable units
Use the following precautions when removing, handling, or storing replaceable units:
CAUTION
Some replaceable units have the majority of their weight in the rear of the
component. Ensure that the back end of the replaceable unit is supported while installing or
removing it. Dropping a replaceable unit could result in personal injury or damage to the
equipment.
NOTICE
l
For a module that must be installed into a slot in an enclosure, examine the rear connectors
on the module for any damage before attempting its installation.
l
A sudden jar, drop, or even a moderate vibration can permanently damage some sensitive
replaceable units.
l
Do not remove a faulted replaceable unit until you have the replacement available.
l
When handling replaceable units, avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) by wearing ESD anti-
static gloves or an ESD wristband with a strap. For additional information, refer to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage
l
Avoid touching any exposed electronic components and circuits on the replaceable unit.
l
Never use excessive force to remove or install a replaceable unit. Take time to read the
instructions carefully.
l
Store a replaceable unit in the antistatic bag and the specially designed shipping container in
which you received it. Use the antistatic bag and special shipping container when you need to
return the replaceable unit.
l
Replaceable units must acclimate to the operating environment before applying power. This
requires the unpackaged component to reside in the operating environment for up to 16 hours
in order to thermally stabilize and prevent condensation. Refer to
on page 15 to ensure the replaceable unit has thermally stabilized to the operating
environment.
NOTICE
Your storage system is designed to be powered on continuously. Most components are hot
swappable; that is, you can replace or install these components while the storage system is
running. However, the system requires that:
l
Front bezels should always be attached to ensure EMI compliance. Make sure you reattach
the bezel after replacing a component.
l
Each slot should contain a component or filler panel to ensure proper air flow throughout
the system.
Unpacking a part
Use these best practices to unpack a part.
Procedure
1. Wear ESD gloves or attach an ESD wristband to your wrist and the enclosure in which you
are installing the part.
2. Unpack the part and place it on a static-free surface.
3. If the part is a replacement for a faulted part, save the packing material to return the faulted
part.
