iv Model 825 In Rack Installation Instructions V5R3
Install a Model 825 in a rack
This feature is customer installable. However, the installation of this feature is intended for an
experienced user who understands industry terminology with system experience. Also, as you follow the
instructions, after removing the devices to make the system weigh less, three people are needed to
safely lift the unit onto the rack. When you use these instructions, you will perform some or all of the
following tasks:
v Perform prerequisite tasks.
v Remove the system unit covers.
v Install new hardware.
v Install covers.
v IPL your operating system.
v Verify your new hardware configuration.
may need to allow additional time to complete your jobs, back up your system, perform an initial
You
program load (IPL) of your system, and verify your hardware configuration.
You can choose to perform these tasks yourself or contact IBM(R) or an authorized service provider to
make arrangements for them to perform the tasks for a fee. Should you encounter difficulties when
performing a task, contact your authorized dealer or service provider.
Rack safety instructions
CAUTION:
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed 40 degrees
C.
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Any side, front or back of a unit
used for air flow through the unit must not be in direct contact with the rack.
v Care should be taken to ensure that a hazardous condition is not created due to uneven mechanical
loading when installing a unit in a rack. If the rack has a stabilizer it must be firmly attached
before uninstalling or removing this 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 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.
v Since the design and configuration of rack enclosures varies, consideration must be given to the
placement of IBM units into third party racks and third party units into IBM racks. It is the
customer’s responsibility to ensure the unit can be safely mounted in the rack and the rack
enclosure adequately provides proper ventilation/cooling, proper stability, and sufficient structural
integrity for the unit when installed in the rack. (RSFTC247)
CAUTION:
These instructions describe how to install a rack stabilizer to the bottom front of each rack to prevent
the rack from falling over when you slide or pull out the system units. Do not attempt to slide out or
install any system units until the stabilizer is correctly installed. Use caution when moving the rack
and its system units. (RSFTC063)

CAUTION:
The weight of this part or unit is between 32 and 55 kilograms (70.5 and 121.2 pounds). It takes three
persons to safely lift this part or unit. (RSFTC205)
CAUTION:
When the unit is extended, its weight can turn over a rack that is not steady. Before you pull the unit
out of the rack, ensure that a rack stabilizer is attached to the bottom front of the rack.
Do not pull out more than one unit at a time. The rack can turn over if you pull out more than one
unit at a time. (RSFTC224)
Before you begin
Before you begin a replacement or installation task, follow these steps:
__ 1. For an installation and if possible, for a replacement, ensure that you have a current backup of
your system (including operating system, licensed programs, and data). If you have backed up
the operating system and licensed programs since the last time you applied PTFs, that backup is
acceptable.
__ 2. Ensure that you take a few minutes to become familiar with these instructions.
__ 3. Ensure that you have access to a medium flat-bladed screwdriver.
__ 4. If there are incorrect, missing, or visibly damaged parts, contact one of the following:

requirements to be successful. Go to Logical partitions in the Information Center. Then return to
these instructions.
__ 6. If you encounter difficulties during the procedure, contact your authorized service provider or
your authorized dealer.
__ 7. Determine if there are any existing PTF prerequisites before you install your new feature. Go to the
following We b site:

__ Ensure that you have a current backup of your system (including operating systems, licensed
programs, and data) if you are installing an existing up and running unit in a rack.
__ If you have installed logical partitions on your system unit, refer to the iSeries Information Center.
Go to Manage logical partitions in the iSeries Information Center to find instructions on powering
down a system with logical partitions.
__ If an Integrated xSeries Adapter (IXA) is present on the system, shut it down using OS/400
options.
