Before
replacing
any

during
such
write
operations
as

saving,
or
formatting.
Drives

you
are
servicing
sequence
might
have
been
altered.
If
you

v
Replace
an
FRU
only
with
another
FRU
of
the
correct
model.
When
you
replace
a
FRU,
make
sure
that
the
model
of
the
machine
and
the
FRU
part
number
are
correct
by
referring
to
the
FRU
parts
list.
v
A
FRU
should
not
be
replaced
because
of
a
single,
unreproducible
failure.
Single
failures
can
occur
for
a
variety
of
reasons
that
have
nothing
to
do
with
a
hardware
defect,
such
as
cosmic
radiation,
electrostatic
discharge,
or
software
errors.
Consider
replacing
a
FRU
only
when
a
problem
recurs.
If
you
suspect
that
a
FRU
is
defective,
clear
the
error
log
and
run
the
test
again.
If
the
error
does
not
recur,
do
not
replace
the
FRU.
v
Be
careful
not
to
replace
a
nondefective
FRU.

return
a
FRU,

must
include
the
following
