Field Replaceable Units

Disassembly guidelines
WARNING
REPAIR TO THE FRU LEVEL—Field repairs are recommended to
the field replaceable unit (FRU) only. Attempting a field repair on a
pcb or a factory sealed component or assembly could jeopardize the
safe and effective operation of the Patient Data Module.
NOTE
GE recommends using the new fasteners (screws, washers, etc.) provided in the
FRU kits rather than re-using the old fasteners. Some fasteners are not intended
to be re-used more than three times.
Take advantage of existing thread pattern cut by turning the screw
counterclockwise until it drops into the existing thread pattern.
Tools required
A T10 TORX-style screwdriver and a standard set of hand tools are required for
disassembly and assembly. Wearing safety glasses is recommended.
Before disassembly
Before disassembling the Patient Data Module, always do the following:
Remove all cables.
Remove the battery.
Provide appropriate electrostatic discharge protection to prevent damaging the
Patient Data Module. See Electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions below for
details.
Hardware precautions
Observe the following guidelines when disassembling the Patient Data Module:
Note the positions of wires, cables and different sized screws; marking them if
necessary to ensure they are replaced correctly.
Do not kink, pinch, stretch, twist, or tightly fold a flex cable.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions
All external connectors of the Patient Data Module are designed with protection from
ESD damage. However if the module requires service, exposed components and
assemblies inside are susceptible to ESD damage. This includes human hands, non-
ESD protected work stations or improperly grounded test equipment.
