Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap.
The ESD wrist strap must be connected to an unpainted metal surface until the service
procedure is completed, and if applicable, until the service access cover is replaced.
Attention:
Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD)
wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD jack, or to an unpainted metal surface of your
hardware to prevent the electrostatic discharge from damaging your hardware.
When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all
electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap is used for static control. It does not increase or
decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on electrical
equipment.
If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, just prior
to removing the product from ESD packaging and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted
metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds. If at any point in
this service process you move away from the system, it is important to again discharge yourself by
touching an unpainted metal surface for at least 5 seconds before you continue with the service
process.
If needed, label and remove the cables from the BMC card.
To remove the BMC card, follow
these steps as shown in Figure 1.
Remove the four screws that secure the rear of the card to the chassis at
(A).
Slide the release latch at (B) away from the BMC card, then rotate the
latch towards the front of the system to release and lift the BMC card from the system backplane.
Using the blue tab at (C) and the handle (B),
lift the BMC card out of the
chassis.
