Handle the modules used in Virtual Services Platform 9000 with care. Take the following items into
consideration when you handle modules:
• To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, always wear an antistatic wrist strap
connected to an ESD jack when you connect cables or you perform maintenance on this
device.
• Always place the modules on appropriate antistatic material.
• Support the module from underneath with two hands. Do not touch components or connector
pins with your hand, or damage can result.
• Damage to a module can occur if you bump the module into another object, including other
modules installed in a chassis. Be careful not to bump module connectors against the action
levers of an adjacent module. Damage to connectors can result. Use both hands to support
modules.
• Visually inspect the connectors for damage before you insert the module. If you insert a module
with damaged connectors you will damage the midplane.
• Check the clearance between the insertion lever and the gasket on adjacent modules during
insertion or extraction.
• Do not stack modules one on top of the other when you move them.
• Do not leave slots open. Fill all slots with modules or filler modules to maintain safety
compliance, proper cooling, and EMI containment.
• Do not over tighten screws. Tighten until snug. Do not use a power tool to tighten screws.
Removing external storage devices from the CP module
