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

a disk drive.
Procedure
1. Complete the prerequisite tasks. For instructions, see “Before you begin” on page 100.
2. Identify the part and the system that you will be working on. For instructions, see “Identifying the
system that contains the part to replace” on page 103.
3. If applicable, open the rack front door.
4. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap.
Attention:
v Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware
to prevent the electrostatic discharge from damaging your hardware.
v When using an ESD wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap is used
for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using
or working on electrical equipment.
v If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and
installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of
5 seconds.
5. Remove the front cover. For instructions, see “Removing the front cover from an 8335-GCA or
8335-GTA system” on page 110.
