Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack system:

v Heavy equipment–personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled.

v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.

v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.

v To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest

devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.

v Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not place objects on top

of rack-mounted devices.

v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in

the rack cabinet when directed to disconnect power during servicing.

v Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack

cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device installed in a different rack cabinet.

v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the 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.

CAUTION

v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the

manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.

v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not

blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.

v Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that

overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.

v (For sliding drawers.) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets

are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.

v (For fixed drawers.) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless

specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.

Before you install and configure solid-state drives (SSDs), you must review the supported machine type model, the supported expansion unit or enclosure, adapter, and configuration details.

SSD drive rules for a system, enclosure, or expansion unit

Solid-state drives, also known as flash drives, follow similar rules as a regular hard disk drive (HDD). For example, SSDs physically resemble, install in the same manner, and in most of the same slots as HDDs. However, some restrictions and configuration rules are specific to the SSD. The following tables helps you determine the operating system, adapter, machine type model, and disk drive configuration rules that apply to your system or expansion unit.

After you review the configuration rules, you can install the drive as you would any other disk drive. For more information about installing disk drives or solid-state drives, see the topic collection for your system or expansion unit.

Restriction: Solid-state drives must be part of a RAID array or system mirroring in the system or logical partition that is controlled by IBM i.

See Table 1 on page 2 for the system or partition or the enclosure or expansion unit where you want to install drives.

Attention: Before you install SSD in your system, ensure that both the SSD and the adapters have all the prerequisite updates. To check for the prerequisites, go to the IBM Prerequisite website (www-912.ibm.com/e_dir/eServerPrereq.nsf).
