Service considerations

The following sections discuss service considerations that should be reviewed and practiced before

removing and replacing any system components.

WARNING! When lifting or moving the workstation, do not use the front bezel as a handle

or lifting point. Lifting the workstation from the front bezel or lifting it incorrectly can cause the unit

to fall and harm you and damage the workstation. To properly and safely lift the workstation, lift

it from the bottom of the unit.

Read cautions, warnings, and safety precautions

For your safety, review the cautions, warnings, and safety precautions before accessing the workstation

components. Also, review the Safety and Regulatory Guide that came with your workstation for more

information.

Electrostatic discharge information

A sudden discharge of static electricity from your finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive

devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic

device exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) might not appear to be affected at all and can function

normally for a while, but it has been degraded in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.

Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the discharge

contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.

Generating static

The following table shows that different activities generate different amounts of static electricity. Static

electricity increases as humidity decreases.
