Remove a PDECB
This procedure can be performed by a customer while the server is running and after removing the component that is installed in front of it.
 | 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. |
