Please contact thesystem reseller or vendor to purchase the replacement parts. Back cover removalinstructions for the AFL3-12C-ULT3 are described below.5.2 Anti-static PrecautionsWARNING:Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of theAFL3-12C-ULT3 may result in permanent damage to theAFL3-12C-ULT3 and severe injury to the user.Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,including the AFL3-12C-ULT3. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It istherefore critical that whenever the AFL3-12C-ULT3 is accessed internally, or any otherelectrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adheredto. Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband canhelp to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
