7 Component replacement

This section describes some of the most common hardware maintenance and servicing procedures

for the VLS1000i.

CAUTION:

The server does not completely power off when the front panel power button is pressed. The power

button toggles server power between On and Standby. In Standb y, the server removes power from most

electronics and drives, while portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active. To

completely remove power from the system, see Powering down the VLS.

Safety considerations

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the

system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a ﬁnger or other conductor may damage

system b oards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of

the

device.

To prevent electrostatic damage:

• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.

• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.

• Pl ac e parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.

• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic damage

There are several methods for g rounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or

installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a g rounded workstation or computer chassis.

Wrist straps are ﬂexible straps with aminimum of 1megaohm ±10percent resistance in the

ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.

• Use h e el straps, toe straps, or b o ot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet

when standing on conductive ﬂoors or dissipating ﬂoor mats.

• Use conductive ﬁeld service tools.

• Use a portable ﬁeld service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller

install the par t. For more information on static electricity, or assistance with product installation, c ontact

your authorized reseller.
