Tools and software requirements ● Torx T-15 driver ● Flat blade and cross-tip screwdrivers ● Diagnostics software Special handling of components The components included in this section require special handling when servicing the workstation. WARNING! Do not use the front bezel as a handle or lifting point when lifting or moving the workstation. Lifting the workstation from the front bezel, or lifting it incorrectly, could cause the workstation to fall, causing possible injury to you and damage to the workstation. To properly and safely lift the workstation, lift from the bottom of the workstation for the desktop or minitower configuration. Cables and connectors Handle cables with care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to seat or unseat cables during insertion or removal from the connector. When possible, handle cables by the connector or pullstrap. Avoid bending or twisting all cables, and be sure that the cables are routed in such a way that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced. When servicing the workstation, be sure that cables are placed in their proper location during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the workstation. Hard drives Hard drives are fragile, precision components. Therefore, you must avoid subjecting them to physical shock and vibration. The following guidelines apply to all drives, including failed drives, replacement drives, and spares. ● Do not remove hard drives from the shipping package for storage. Keep hard drives in their protective packaging until they are mounted in the workstation. ● Avoid dropping hard drives from any height. ● If you are inserting or removing a hard drive, power off the workstation. Do not remove a hard drive while the workstation is powered on or in standby mode. ● Before handling a drive, be sure that you discharge static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector. For more information about preventing electrostatic damage, see ESD information on page 48. CAUTION: To prevent ESD damage when the drive is installed, connect the drive power cable before connecting the data cable. This discharges accumulated static electricity through the drive power cable to the workstation chassis. ● When inserting a drive, do not use excessive force. ● Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or products with magnetic fields such as monitors or speakers. Lithium coin cell battery The battery included with the workstation provides power to the real-time clock and has a lifetime of approximately three years. For instructions on battery removal and replacement, see Battery on page 101. ENWW Service considerations 51
