Safety Precautions
Technician Notes
Only authorized technicians should attempt to repair this equipment.
Before installing this system, carefully read all the manuals included with the system.
All repair procedures allow only module replacement. Because of the complexity of the
individual boards and sub-assemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs at the
component level or make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can
create a safety hazard.
To reduce the risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous energy levels, do
not exceed the level of repairs specified in these procedures.
The system is designed to be electrically grounded. To ensure proper operation, plug the
AC power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet only.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage static sensitive devices or micro circuitry. Proper
packaging and grounding techniques are required to prevent damage.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at a static free work
area.
Use a wrist strap connected to the work surface as well as properly grounded tools and
equipment
Keep the area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic tools and foam
packing.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Always place drives with printed circuit board (PCB) assembly-side down.
Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Hold drives by the frame. Avoid touching the solder
joints or pins.
If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic bag, lay it on the antistatic
bag. Before picking it up again, touch the antistatic bag and the metal frame of the system
unit at the same time.
