Handling static-sensitive devices
Review these guidelines before you handle static-sensitive devices to reduce the possibility of damage from
electrostatic discharge.
Attention: Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by
keeping static-sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these
devices with an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
• Limit your movement to prevent building up static electricity around you.
• Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, for heating would reduce indoor
humidity and increase static electricity.
• Always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system, particularly when working
inside the server with the power on.
• While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal surface on the
outside of the server for at least two seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your
body.
• Remove the device from the package and install it directly into the server without putting it down. If it is
necessary to put the device down, put it back into the static-protective package. Never place the device
on the server or on any metal surface.
• When handling a device, carefully hold it by the edges or the frame.
• Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
• Keep the device from others’ reach to prevent possible damages.
Replace components in the server
Use the following information to remove and install the server components.
2.5-inch hot-swap drive and drive backplane replacement
Use this procedure to install or remove 2.5-inch hot-swap drives and drive backplanes.
Remove a drive backplane
Use this procedure to remove a drive backplane.
Before removing the drive backplane:
1. Read the safety information and installation guidelines (see “Safety” on page iii and “Installation
Guidelines” on page 59).
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables (see
“Power off the server” on page 10).
3. If the server is installed in a rack, remove the server from the rack.
4. Remove the top cover (see “Remove the top cover” on page 146).
5. Remove the chassis air baffle (see “Remove the chassis air baffle” on page 65).
To remove the drive backplane, complete the following steps:
Watch the procedure. A video of the process is available:
