This chapter describes removal and replacement procedures for field-replaceable
units (FRUs).
6.1
System Safety
Observe the safety guidelines in this section to prevent personal injury.
CAUTION:
Wear an antistatic wrist strap whenever you work on a system.
The AlphaServer cabinet system has a wrist strap connected to the frame at the front
and rear. The pedestal system does not have an attached strap, so you will have to
take one to the site.
WARNING: When the system interlocks are disabled and the system is still powered
on, voltages are low in the system drawer, but current is high. Observe the following
guidelines to prevent personal injury.
1.
Remove any jewelry that may conduct electricity before working on the system.
2.
Do not insert your hands between the fan and the power supply.
3.
If you need to access the system card cage, power down the system and wait 2
minutes to allow components in that area to cool.
