Use conductive field service tools.

Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller
install the part. For more information on static electricity, or assistance with product installation, contact
your authorized reseller.

Warnings and Cautions

Before removing the node access panel, be sure that you understand the following warnings and
cautions.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:

Do not disable the AC power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.

Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

Unplug the power cord from each power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.

CAUTION:

Do not operate the node for long periods without the access panel. Operating the node without the
access panel results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Preparation Procedures

To access some components and perform certain replacement procedures, you must perform one or
more of the following procedures:
