billing you for the replacement. With a CSR, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used. Recommended tools When replacing certain components, such as the power button assembly, the following tools may be necessary: • 4-mm flat-blade screwdriver • Phillips screwdriver Warnings and precautions • Electrostatic Discharge Information • Grounding methods • Equipment Symbols • Weight Warning • Rack warnings and precautions • Device warnings and precautions Electrostatic discharge information To prevent damage to 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, observe the following precautions: • Avoid hand contact by transporting products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes. • Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations. • Cover workstations with approved static-dissipating material. Provide a wrist strap connected to the work surface and properly grounded (earthed) tools and equipment. • Keep work area free of nonconducting materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and foam packing. • Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers. • Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry. • Make sure that you are properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly. • Place hard drives with the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) side down. • Use conductive field service tools. Grounding methods There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic sensitive parts: • Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin. • Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats. • Use conductive field service tools. • Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat. 1510i Modular Smart Array maintenance and service guide 33
