Standard operating practices

CAUTION:

Replace only one FRU at a time. Attempting to replace more than one hardware component at a time might cause serious system outages, processor halts, and connectivity problems.

Whenever you replace a FRU, use these standard operating practices to minimize potential damage to the equipment:

  • Remove all jewelry and metal accessories, such as rings, watches, and necklaces, before working with the equipment. These items can damage electrical equipment or result in personal injury.

  • Complete Hewlett Packard Enterprise training courses on system support for Integrity NonStop BladeSystems.

  • Inspect the replacement FRU for physical damage before installing it. Check the connectors on the FRU or backplane for bent or broken pins and for any other obvious damage. If the FRU is damaged, order another one.

  • Restrain anything that can get caught in electromechanical equipment, such as long hair and sleeves, before working with the equipment.

  • Follow ESD guidelines for working in an electrostatic discharge (ESD)-protected environment and for handling FRUs.
