Guidelines for Servicing the System
WARNING! Only authorized, qualified, and trained personnel should attempt
to service or maintain this equipment.
Caution: Read this guideline section before proceeding with any of the service
procedures.
See System LEDs on page 25 for detailed information on the system LEDs
located on the front and rear of the Memory Array.
Safety Precautions
The following servicing guidelines must be followed when performing
maintenance on the Memory Array.
• Use caution when replacing the fans. When the system is powered on, the
fans in the fan trays are moving and may cause damage to items that come
in contact with the moving parts.
• When using metal tools such as screwdrivers, exercise caution to ensure
that they do not come in contact with any part of the system other than to
remove the necessary screws. Failure to observe these precautions
creates the potential risk of creating a short circuit within the system.
• The VIMMs are hot-swappable, but remove both of the power feeds from
the system to eliminate the risk of equipment damage and personal injury.
• Do not leave the cover off of the system for any reason except VIMM
replacement. Loose metal objects from other sources may fall into the
system causing a short.
ESD Precautions
Follow these precautions to prevent ESD damage to the Memory Array.
• Wear ESD protection, such as a wrist or ankle strap that is properly
grounded.
• Ensure the system is properly grounded, as described in Connecting
Equipment Ground on page 48.
• Ensure that you are properly discharged before servicing the system.
