Remove an SP or SPP
This procedure can be performed by a customer while the server is running. The procedure is
the same whether you are removing an SP or an SPP.
Note - Only remove an SP or SPP when you have verified that the blue Ready to Remove LED
on the SP or SPP is lit.
Caution - This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. This discharge can cause server components to fail. When you unpack the
replacement part, open the package on a grounded antistatic mat. Always use an antistatic wrist
strap for hardware replacements.
