CPU Upgrade

Electrostatic Discharge

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) upgrade for the HP 3000 and HP 9000 system is accomplished by
adding CPU cards to the existing CPU card slots within the computer cabinet. The number of CPUs
supported on each system model is as follows:.

Electrostatic Discharge

CPU cards and computer systems contain assemblies and components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Carefully observe the precautions listed in this section and use the ESD wrist strap,
ESD sheet, and ESD foam pad provided in the ESD kit (part number A3024-80004).

The following precautions can significantly reduce the risk of system failure or component damage due
to ESD.

• Always wear an anti-static wrist strap when working around a system or handling the CPU card.

• Treat all assemblies, components, cards, and connections as sensitive.

• When unpacking cards or components to the system, keep the item in it's conductive bag until it is
ready to be installed.

• Keep body movement to a minimum, this generates static electricity that causes ESD.

• Avoid working in carpeted areas.

• Try to select a wor k area where potential static sources are minimized.

Anti-Static Wrist Strap

The anti-static wrist st r ap is a bracelet-like st ra p that goes around either wris t. The other end of the strap
connects to a convenient metal surface on the computer cabinet.
