This procedure can be performed by a customer while the server is running.
Replace a CMIOU when the replacement CMIOU is available.
Complete the following steps before you unseat or remove a CMIOU.
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. |
