Electrostatic Discharge HP computers and peripherals contain assemblies and components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Carefully observe the precautions and recommended procedures to ensure that system reliability is not compromised due to component damage from static electricity. The following precautions can significantly reduce the risk of system failure or malfunction due to ESD.
The containers and shipping materials used in factory packaging should be used if reshipment of components becomes necessary. If these are not available, containers and shipping material identical to those used in the factory are available through the HP Sales and Service Office. Similar commercially available material can also be used for shipment.
Prepaid return is not available in all countries. If the conversion kit does not contain a country approved prepaid label, please ensure that all components are returned to the Order Processing Department of the local HP sales office. Return Procedures: 1.

If the computer is in a rackmount cabinet, a #15 and #25 TORX head driver are needed. If the HP 9000 computer to be worked on is mounted in a rack, it may need to be removed for certain procedures. Refer to the Cabinet Installation Guide part number A2375-90007, or the Computer Cabinet Users Manual part number C2785-90001 for detailed procedures on removal of the computer from the rackmount cabinet.
