GE Solar 8000M/i - Disassembly Guidelines and Procedures

2026265-075C Solar 8000M/i patient monitor 7-7
Field replaceable units: Disassembly
Disassembly
Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when disassembling the monitor. You will need a
standard set of hand tools including a #1 Phillips head screwdriver.
WARNING
Repair to the FRU level. Field repairs are recommended
to the field replaceable unit (FRU) only. Attempting a
field repair on a pcb or a factory sealed component or
assembly could jeopardize the safe and effective
operation of the patient monitor.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions
All external connectors of the Solar 8000M/i patient monitor are
designed with protection from ESD damage. However if the module
requires service, exposed components and assemblies inside are
susceptible to ESD damage. This includes human hands, non-ESD
protected work stations or improperly grounded test equipment.
The following guidelines may not guaranty a 100% static-free
workstation, but can greatly reduce the potential for failure of any
electronic assemblies being serviced:
 Discharge any static charge you may have built up before handling
semiconductors or assemblies containing semiconductors.
 A grounded, antistatic wristband (3M part number 2046 or
equivalent) or heel strap should be worn at all times while handling
or repairing assemblies containing semiconductors.
 Use properly grounded soldering and test equipment.
 Use a static-free work surface (3M part number 8210 or equivalent)
while handling or working on assemblies containing semiconductors.
 Do not remove semiconductors or assemblies containing
semiconductors from antistatic containers (Velo-stat bags) until
absolutely necessary.
 Make sure power to an assembly is turned off before removing or
inserting a semiconductor.
 Do not slide semiconductors or electrical/electronic assemblies across
any surface.
 Do not touch semiconductor leads unless absolutely necessary.
 Semiconductors and electronic assemblies should be stored only in
antistatic bags or boxes.
 Handle all PCB assemblies by their edges.
 Do not flex or twist a circuit board.
