- Prerequisites:
Before handling a component, touch a grounded surface to discharge any static electricity.
Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to your wrist, and stand on an ESD mat while replacing components.
Two people are needed to verify the operation of the slide rails and the cable management arm (CMA): one to move the Controller in and out of the rack and one to observe the cables and CMA.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, stabilize the expansion rack cabinet and extend all anti-tilt devices before extending the Controller from the rack.
