Customer self repair

What is customer self repair? HP's customer self-repair program offers you the fastest service under either warranty or contract. It

enables HP to ship replacement parts directly to you so that you can replace them. Using this program, you can replace parts at your own convenience.

A convenient, easy-to-use program:

• An HP support specialist will diagnose and assess whether a replacement part is required to address

a system problem. The specialist will also determine whether you can replace the part.

• Replacement parts are express-shipped. Most in-stock parts are shipped the very same day you

contact HP. You may be required to send the defective part back to HP, unless otherwise instructed.

• Available for most HP products currently under warranty or contract. For information on the warranty

service, refer to the HP website (http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/platforms/warranty/index.html

For more information about HP's customer self-repair program, contact your local service provider. For the North American program, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair

Safety considerations

Before performing service procedures, review all the safety information.

Preventing electrostatic discharge

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.

To prevent electrostatic damage:

• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.

• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.

• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.

• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Server warnings and cautions

Before installing a server, be sure that you understand the following warnings and cautions.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:

• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

• Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.

• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed

against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the server.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and

the internal system components to cool before touching them.

CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating

the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Preparation procedures

To access some components and perform certain service procedures, perform one or more of the following procedures:

• Extend the server from the rack ("Extending the server from the rack" on page 15).

If you are performing service procedures in an HP, Compaq branded, telco, or third-party rack cabinet, you can use the locking feature of the rack rails to support the server and gain access to internal components.

For more information about telco rack solutions, refer to the RackSolutions.com website (http://www.racksolutions.com/hp
