Changing the System Name of a NonStop BladeSystem

Standard Operating Practices
Standard Operating Practices
CAUTION: Replace only one FRU at a time. Attempting to replace more than one hardware
component at a time might cause serious system outages, processor halts, and connectivity problems.
Whenever you replace a FRU, use these standard operating practices to minimize potential damage
to the equipment:
• Complete HP training courses on system support for HP Integrity NonStop™ BladeSystems.
• Inspect the replacement FRU for physical damage before installing it. Check the connectors
on the FRU or backplane for bent or broken pins and for any other obvious damage. If the
FRU is damaged, you need to order another one.
• Remove all jewelry and metal accessories, such as rings, watches, and necklaces, before
working with the equipment. These items can damage electrical equipment or result in personal
injury.
• Restrain anything that can get caught in electromechanical equipment, such as long hair and
sleeves, before working with the equipment.
• Follow ESD Guidelines (page 11) ESD Guidelines for working in an electrostatic discharge
(ESD)-protected environment and for handling FRUs.
ESD Guidelines
Observe the following electrostatic discharge (ESD) guidelines whenever servicing electronic
components:
• Obtain an ESD protection kit and follow the directions that come with the kit. You can purchase
an ESD kit from HP (T99247-A00) or from a local electronics store. Ensure that your ESD
wriststrap has a built-in series resistor and that the kit includes an antistatic table mat.
• Before you unpack a replacement FRU, place the FRU package on the antistatic table mat and
attach the grounding clip on your wriststrap to the mat.
• When you unpack the FRU, do not cut into the ESD protective bag surrounding the FRU. The
protective bag protects the FRU and can be reused for storing the FRU that has been replaced.
• Before you move the FRU from the antistatic table mat, attach the grounding clip from your
ESD wriststrap to any unpainted metal surface on the FRU.
• Before you bring a FRU in contact with a rack, attach the grounding clip on your ESD wriststrap
to any unpainted metal surface on the rack.
• When you remove a FRU from a system enclosure, first pull the FRU partway out of the slot
and then attach the grounding clip on your ESD wriststrap to any unpainted metal surface on
the FRU.
• Store FRUs that require ESD protection in ESD protective bags.
• The figure Figure 1 (page 12) illustrates how to use an ESD kit when servicing FRUs.
