Attention:
Failure to follow the step-by-step sequence for part removal or installation might result in part or
system damage.
For safety, airflow purposes and thermal performance, the service access cover must be installed
and fully seated before you power the system on.
For safety and airflow purposes and thermal performance, if you remove parts from the system,
you must ensure that PCIe tailstock fillers are present.
Use the following precautions whenever you handle electronic components or cables.
• The electrostatic discharge (ESD) kit and the ESD wrist strap must be used when you handle
logic cards, single chip modules, multi-chip modules, electronic boards, and disk drives.
• Keep all electronic components in the shipping container or envelope until you are ready to
install them.
• If you remove, and then reinstall an electronic component, temporarily place the component on
an ESD pad or blanket.
