Use the following precautions when removing, handling, or storing replaceable units:

• Do not remove a faulted replaceable unit until you have the replacement available.
• When handling replaceable units, avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) by wearing ESD anti-static gloves or an ESD wristband with a strap.
• Avoid touching any exposed electronic components and circuits on the replaceable unit.
• Never use excessive force to remove or install a replaceable unit. Take time to read the instructions carefully.
• Store a replaceable unit in the antistatic bag and the specially designed shipping container in which you received it. Use the antistatic bag and special shipping container when you need to return the replaceable unit.
• Replaceable units must acclimate to the operating environment before applying power. This requires the unpackaged component to reside in the operating environment for up to 16 hours in order to thermally stabilize and prevent condensation. Ensure that the replaceable unit has thermally stabilized to the operating environment.
• Front bezels should always be attached to ensure EMI compliance. Ensure that you reattach the bezel after replacing a component.
• Each I/O module or drive slot should contain a component or filler panel to ensure proper air flow throughout the system.
