7. Ensure that the metallic underside of the wrist strap is in direct contact with
your skin. The wrist strap should be snug around the wrist so that it does not
rotate. See Section 1.4, “Antistatic Precautions” on page 1-6.
Caution – Before handling FRUs, be sure to connect the clip of the antistatic wrist
strap and of the antistatic mat to the server grounding port, and attach the band of
the wrist strap to one of your wrists. Place the FRUs on the grounded antistatic mat.
Failure to take these antistatic measures might result in serious damage.
8. Remove the PCI cassette of the PCI card to be replaced.
Caution – To disconnect the link cable, which is a cable connected between the link
card mounted on the server and external I/O expansion unit, pull the latch lock of
the connector. If you forcibly pull the connector or the cable, the cable may be
damaged.
Caution – When removing cables such as LAN cable, if your finger can't reach the
latch lock of the connector, press the latch with a flathead screwdriver to remove the
cable. Forcing your finger into the clearance can cause damage to the PCI card.
