Guidelines
Observe the following guidelines when removing and replacing 6500 array
hardware as described on the following pages.
Caution Power down the array before connecting or disconnecting
communication cables.
Warning Power down the array before you move it or before you remove
the enclosure cover. Also, power down the array before you
connect or disconnect its SCSI cables.
Warning Observe standard Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions: (1)
whenever the top cover is removed from the enclosure and the
controller board is exposed, and (2) when handling disk drives. We
strongly recommend using a static discharge strap to prevent
damage to the equipment. Failure to use a static discharge strap
may void your warranty.
