Chapter 3 Cleaning the Bulkhead Array Connectors
How to Clean the Bulkhead Array Connectors
To clean the bulkhead array connectors, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to an ESD connection socket
or a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2 Insert the array adapter into an array connector. Verify that the connector shutters open fully when you
insert the adapter (see Figure 3-3).

Step 3 Insert the cleaning tool into the first adapter slot, as shown in Figure 3-4. Align the key on the cleaning
tool with the matching notch in the adapter slot. The cleaning tool works only when the cleaning head
is properly inserted.
