How to Remove Components to Reduce Weight

Caution –

Circuit boards and hard drives contain electronic components that are extremely

sensitive to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of static electricity from clothing or the work
environment can destroy the components located on these devices. Do not touch the
components without antistatic precautions, especially along the connector edges. For more
information, see

“Antistatic Procedures and Precautions” in

Sun Fire X4640 Server Service

Manual

.

If a lift is not available, remove the following components to reduce weight:

■

All four power supplies

■

All four fan trays

■

All modules in the CPU bay (CPU modules and filler modules)

This reduces the weight of the server to about 35 pounds (16 kg).
