Attention: Failure to follow the steps sequentially for this field replaceable unit (FRU) removal or

Use the following precautions whenever you handle electronic components or cables:

(ESD) from damaging your hardware.
v If you do not have a wrist strap, before removing the product from ESD packaging and installing or
replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.
v Keep all electronic components in the shipping container or envelope until you are ready to install
them.
v If you remove and reinstall an electronic component, temporarily place the component on an ESD pad
or blanket, if available.
