DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage
on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and
grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for
the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.
When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system,
ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the
signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the
existing system before you add a device.
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to
prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical
potentials.
During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers,
telephones, or station protectors for communications lines.

Handling Static Sensitive Devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage this device and your system unit. To avoid
damage, keep this device in its anti-static protective bag until you are ready to install it.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, follow the precautions listed below:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.
v While the device is still in its anti-static package, touch it to an unpainted metal part
of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity from the
package and from your body.)
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it on its
static-protective package. (If your device is an adapter, place it component-side up.)
Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, as heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Chapter 4. Installing the Device Driver on the RS/6000 SP System
For an SP system, the installation tasks must be performed on each node. You must
make the installation files available and then install them on all the relevant nodes. This
chapter discusses the following tasks to enable you to install the device driver on the
RS/6000 SP System:
v Checking System Prerequisites
v Installing Software on the Control Workstation (
lppsource directory)
v Installing Device Drivers on the SP Nodes (
software are not already installed)
Perform the following tasks on the Control Workstation. If you are unfamiliar with the
dsh command, refer to one of the following Parallel System Support Program (PSSP)
publications:
v
Parallel System Support Program for AIX: Administration Guide
v
Parallel System Support Program for AIX: Command and Technical Reference
