Removal & Replacement Preliminaries
This chapter provides general service information for the workstation. Adherence to the
procedures and precautions described in this chapter is essential for proper service.
CAUTION: When the workstation is plugged into an AC power source there is always
Ä
voltage applied to the system board. You must disconnect the power cord from the power
source before opening the workstation to prevent system board or component damage.
3.1Electrostatic Discharge Information
A sudden discharge of static electricity from your finger or other conductor can destroy
static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but
damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) may not
appear to be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. The device
may function normally for a while, but it has been degraded in the internal layers, reducing
its life expectancy.
Circuitry built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the
discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.
