Removing/Replacing System Components
Prerequisite for Using the Procedures in this Chapter
You must complete the following steps before performing any of the removal/replacement
procedures in this chapter:
1. Power off the workstation (either by executing
shutdown
-h
as
root
, or by simply
pressing the power switch on the front panel of the workstation, which accomplishes
the same thing), as well as the monitor and any attached peripheral devices.
2. Unplug the workstation power cord and all peripheral devices from AC power outlets. If
you are using a DC power source, see Appendix B.
3. Attach the static-grounding wrist strap by following the instructions on the package.
Attach the sticky end of the wrist strap to bare metal on the rear panel of the
workstation.
NOTE
To make access to the internal components easier, you may want to place the
workstation on a table or workbench instead of leaving it on the floor.
CAUTION
This workstation is designated for two-person lifting; it weighs approximately
35.0 pounds (15.89 kg), depending on the configuration. Do not attempt to lift
it by yourself, or injury may result.
