disk backplane. You must disconnect the power cables before performing this
procedure.
Caution:
These procedures require that you handle components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. This sensitivity can cause the component to fail. To avoid
damage, ensure that you follow electrostatic discharge safety measures and
antistatic practices. See Electrostatic Discharge Safety.
