9-12 CIC Pro™ 2026419-033E
Field replaceable units (FRUs)
The following guidelines help make a service workstation more resistant to ESD
damage:

Discharge any static charge you may have built up before handling
semiconductors or assemblies containing semiconductors. This can be done by
touching any bare metal on the CIC Pro center chassis, the cable connector jacks
or the ground post on the back of the unit. Do this frequently and repeatedly
while working on the unit.
 Wear a grounded, antistatic wristband (3M part number 2046 or equivalent) or
heel strap at all times while handling or repairing assemblies containing
semiconductors.

Use properly grounded test equipment.
 Use a static-free work surface (3M part number 8210 or equivalent) while
handling or working on assemblies containing semiconductors.

Keep the work surface free of nonconducting materials such as ordinary plastic
assembly aids and foam packing.
 Do not remove assemblies containing semiconductors from antistatic containers
(Velo-stat bags) until absolutely necessary.

Make sure power to an assembly is turned off before removing or inserting a
semiconductor.
 Do not slide electrical/electronic assemblies across any surface.

Semiconductors and electrical/electronic assemblies should be stored only in
antistatic bags or boxes.
These guidelines cannot guaranty a 100% static-free workstation, but greatly reduce
the potential for failure of any electrical/electronic assemblies due to electrostatic
discharge.
Prepare the unit for disassembly
1. Perform safe shutdown of the CIC Pro center on page 8-31 .
CAUTION
During shutdown or while in administrator mode, beds displayed by
this CIC Pro center will be unmonitored if not displayed by a
different CIC Pro center.
2. Turn off the power to the CIC Pro center.
3. Unplug the AC power cord from the processor box and from the electrical wall
outlet.
WARNING
DISCONNECTION FROM MAINS — When disconnecting the
system from the power line, remove the plug from the wall outlet
first. Then you may disconnect the power cord from the device. If
you do not observe this sequence, there is a risk of coming into
contact with line voltage by inserting metal objects, such as the pins
of leadwires, into the sockets of the power cord by mistake.
