If you must move around the room or touch other surfaces before
installing a CRU, first place the CRU back in the antistatic bag.
When you are ready again to install the CRU, repeat these
procedures.
Precautions When
Removing,
Installing, or Storing
CRUs
Use the precautions listed below when you remove, handle, or store
CRUs.
•
Do not remove a faulty CRU until you have a replacement
available.
•
Ensure that the front wheels on the deskside DPE are locked
before installing or removing a CRU.
•
Handle a CRU only when using an ESD wristband as follows:
attach the clip of the ESD wristband to the ESD bracket or bare
metal on the enclosure, and put the wristband around your wrist
with the metal button against your skin.
•
Handle CRUs gently. A sudden jar, drop, or vibration can
permanently damage a CRU.
•
Place one hand on top of the deskside DPE to prevent movement
while installing or removing CRUs.
•
Never use excessive force to remove or install a CRU.
•
Store a CRU in an antistatic bag, in the specially designed
shipping container in which you received it, and use that bag and
container if you need to return the CRU for repair.
•
Maintain the location where you store CRUs within the limits
specified in Appendix A.
