Installing or Removing Internal Parts
Caution: The components inside the system are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Always
wear a wrist strap when you work with parts inside your system.
To use the wrist strap, follow these steps:
1. Unroll the first two folds of the band.
2. Wrap the exposed adhesive side firmly around your wrist, unroll the rest of the band, and
then peel the liner from the copper foil at the opposite end.
3. Attach the copper foil to an exposed electrical ground, such as a metal part of the chassis.
Caution: Do not attempt to install or remove components that are not listed in Table 6-1.
Components not listed must be installed or removed by a qualified SGI field engineer.
Table 6-1 lists the customer-replaceable components and the page on which you can find the
