Removing and replacing a FRU
This section presents information and drawings for use in
removing and replacing a FRU. Be sure to observe the
following general rules:
1. Do not try to service the computer unless you have
been trained and certified. An untrained person runs
the risk of damaging parts.
2. Before replacing any FRU, review“FRU replacement
notices”on page 54.
3. Begin by removing any FRUs that have to be removed
before the failing FRU. Any such FRUs are listed at the
top of the page. Remove...

Attention:
Before the computer is powered on after FRU
replacement, make sure all screws, springs, and other
small parts are in place and are not loose inside the
computer. Verify this by shaking the computer gently and
listening for rattling sounds. Metallic parts or metal flakes
can cause electrical short circuits.
Attention:
The system board is sensitive, and can be damaged by
electrostatic discharge. Establish personal grounding by
touching a ground point with one hand before touching
these units....
