8 Removing and Replacing FRUs
1-
Introduction
1Removing and Replacing FRUs
The removal and replacement procedures included in this section share several character-
istics: The operating voltages and the weight of the monitor represent specific hazards.
WARNING The system contains hazardous voltages that can range from
90 VAC to 264 VAC and cause serious injury or death.
¹ Only authorized service personnel are permitted to
remove protective covers and access the energized
components of this system.
WARNING The weight of the ACUSON X300™ ultrasound systems

approximately (98 kg; 216 lb.) and the weight of the monitor
represent lifting hazards.
The use of improper lifting methods or lifting in an awkward
manner can cause serious injury.
¹ The US National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health publishes design guidelines that indicate that
items weighing greater than 15.9 kg (35 lb.) must be
lifted by two people or mechanical lifting aids. Items
weighing greater than 34 kg (75 lb.) must be lifted only
with mechanical lifting equipment. The transport
instructions for the system, when packaged in its ship-
ping container, are provided on the container. The sys-
tem, once removed from its shipping container, is not
designed to be lifted. Transport the system by moving
it on its casters.
A Spare Part Catalog (SPC) has been established on the Internet at the following URL:
(Spare Parts Catalog, http://cs.med.siemens.de/).
The installation of a spare part employs the reverse sequence provided for the disassembly
and removal procedure.
CAUTION Use fasteners of the correct length.

¹ Failure to use fasteners of correct may cause damage
to underlying equipment.

02.11 Ultrasound
Removing and Replacing FRUs 9
CAUTION The system contains components that are sensitive to dam-

age by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
¹ Observe all ESD protective procedures and use ESD
protective equipment including an ESD wrist strap
when the protective covers are removed from the sys-
tem.
NOTE Before proceeding with these instructions, make sure the

system is positioned on a flat surface with the system wheels
securely locked in place and that there is sufficient work
space, more than one meter, around the system.
NOTE The ACUSON X300 Premium Edition system has a different

color look than the ACUSON X300 system.
