l
Do not remove a faulted replaceable unit until you have the replacement available.
l
When handling replaceable units, avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) by wearing
ESD anti-static gloves or an ESD wristband with a strap. For additional
information, refer to Avoiding electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage on page 4.
l
Avoid touching any exposed electronic components and circuits on the replaceable
unit.
l
Never use excessive force to remove or install a replaceable unit. Take time to
read the instructions carefully.
l
Store a replaceable unit in the antistatic bag and the specially designed shipping
container in which you received it. Use the antistatic bag and special shipping
container when you need to return the replaceable unit.
l
Replaceable units must acclimate to the operating environment before applying
power. This requires the unpackaged component to reside in the operating
environment for up to 16 hours in order to thermally stabilize and prevent
condensation. Refer to Hardware acclimation times on page 5 to ensure the
replaceable unit has thermally stabilized to the operating environment.
Your storage system is designed to be powered on continuously. Most components
are hot swappable; that is, you can replace or install these components while the
storage system is running. However, the system requires that:
l
Front bezels should always be attached to ensure EMI compliance. Make sure you
reattach the bezel after replacing a component.
l
Each slot should contain a component or filler panel to ensure proper air flow
throughout the system.
Unpacking a part
Procedure
1. Wear ESD gloves or attach an ESD wristband to your wrist and the enclosure in
which you are installing the part.
2. Unpack the part and place it on a static-free surface.
3. If the part is a replacement for a faulted part, save the packing material to
return the faulted part.
Standard touch point colors
Touch points are component locations where you can:
l
Grip the hardware to remove or install a component.
l
Open or close a latch.
l
Turn a knob to open, close, or adjust a component.
Standard touch point colors are terra-cotta (orange) or blue.
Within this documentation, the color orange is used instead of terra-cotta for
simplicity.
