FRU Removal and Replacement 8-1
Chapter 8
FRU Removal
and Replacement
This chapter describes the procedures for removing and replacing FRUs on
Compaq AlphaServer ES40 systems.
Unless otherwise specified, install a FRU by reversing the steps shown in the
removal procedures.
NOTE: If you are installing or replacing CPU cards, memory DIMMs, or PCI
cards, become familiar with the location of the card slots and
configuration rules. See Chapter 6.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage integrated circuits. Always use a
grounded wrist strap (29-26246) and grounded work surface when
working with internal parts of a computer system.
Remove jewelry before working on internal parts of the system.
IMPORTANT! After you have replaced FRUs and have determined
that the system has been restored to its normal
operating condition, you must clear the system error
information repository (error information logged to the
DPR). Use the clear_error all command to clear all
errors logged in the FRU EEPROMs and to initialize
the central error repository. See Chapter 4 for details
on clear_error.
