How to Remove Components to Reduce Weight
This procedure describes how to remove components from your server so that two persons can
lift it into the rack. If you are going to use a mechanical lift, you do not need to perform this
procedure.
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, refer to
“Antistatic Precautions and Procedures” in Sun Fire X4800 Server Service
Manual .
Note –
This procedure assumes that the server is powered off and all cables are disconnected.
Mark all CPU modules with their slot numbers.
