6 Removing and Replacing Components
This chapter describes how to remove and replace hardware in HP 9000 rp3410 and rp3440
servers.
CAUTION: Use care to prevent injury and equipment damage when performing these
procedures. Voltages can be present within the server. Many assemblies are sensitive to damage
by electrostatic discharge.
Safety Information
To ensure safe handling of components, prevent personal injury, and prevent damage to the
server, follow the procedures listed below:
• If removing or installing a hot-swap or hot-plug item, follow the instructions provided in
this guide.
• If installing a hot-swappable item when power is applied (fans are running), reinstall the
server cover immediately to prevent overheating.
• If installing an assembly that is not hot-swappable, disconnect the power cables from the
server external power connectors.
WARNING! Ensure that the server is powered off and all the power sources have been
disconnected from the server before working with the server.
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an AC power source
is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position.
Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
• Do not wear loose clothing that can snag or catch on the server or on other items.
• Do not wear clothing subject to static charge build-up, such as wool or synthetic materials.
• If installing an internal assembly, wear an antistatic wrist strap and use a grounding mat,
such as those included in the Electrically Conductive Field Service Grounding Kit (HP
9300-1155).
• Handle accessory boards and components by the edges only. Do not touch any metal-edge
connectors or any electrical components on accessory boards.
