Notices and statements used in this book
The caution and danger statements also appear in the multilingual Safety Information book provided on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD that comes with your xSeries product. Each statement is numbered for easy reference to the corresponding statement in the safety book.
The following types of notices and statements are used in this book:
Note: These notices provide important tips, guidance, or advice.
Important: These notices provide information or advice that might help you avoid
inconvenient or problem situations.
Attention: These notices indicate possible damage to programs, devices, or data. An attention notice is placed just before the instruction or situation in which damage could occur.
Caution: These statements indicate situations that can be potentially hazardous to you. A caution statement is placed just before the description of a potentially hazardous procedure step or situation.
Danger: These statements indicate situations that can be potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to you. A danger statement is placed just before the description of a potentially lethal or extremely hazardous procedure step or situation.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To avoid
damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the system unit for at least 2 seconds. (This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.)
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 in its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.
Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, because heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

System-board jumpers and switches
The following illustration identifies the jumpers and switches on the system board.
System-board jumper blocks
Any jumper blocks on the system board that are not shown in the illustration are reserved. For normal operation of the system, the default jumpers shown in the following table should be installed. To disable the functions listed in the table, install a jumper (except for J38).
Flash ROM
Flash ROM page jumper J38 determines whether primary or secondary (backup) POST/BIOS code is used by the system to startup. The default setting for J38 is a jumper between pins 2 and 3 (primary POST/BIOS). For secondary POST/BIOS, place a jumper between pins 1 and 2 of J38. Changing the jumper position after system power-on is not permitted, it may cause unpredictable problems. Refer to the Users Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for additional information about the flash read-only memory (ROM) page-swap jumper.

Chapter 2. Installing options
This chapter provides the basic information that is needed to install hardware options in your server. If you need more detailed installation information, refer to the Users Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
Before you begin
Before you begin to install options in your server, read the following information:
Become familiar with the safety and handling guidelines under Handling static­sensitive devices on page 3, and read the safety statements in “Safety” on page v. These guidelines will help you work safely while working with your server or options.
Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for your server, monitor, and any other options that you intend to install.
Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
Have a small, flat-blade screwdriver available.
For a list of supported options for your server, refer to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat on the World Wide Web.
System reliability considerations
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that:
Each of the drive bays has either a drive or a filler panel installed.
The cover is in place during normal operation, or is removed for no longer than 30
minutes while the server is operating.
There is space around the server to enable the server cooling system to work properly. Leave approximately 127 mm (5 in.) of space around the front and rear of the server.
Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the instructions that are provided with the adapters.
A failed fan is replaced immediately.

Rotating the stabilizing feet
The feet attached to the bottom cover rotate 90 degrees to provide additional stability for your server.
Place the server in an upright position; then, rotate the feet a quarter turn away from the server. Carefully position the server on its feet.
When you need to access the inside of the server to install options, you might find it easier to place the server on its side, so that the system board is facing you. If you do so, rotate the feet in towards the server, so that they do not break off due to the weight of the server.
Page 23
Chapter 2. Installing options 11
Removing the side cover
The following information describes how to remove the side cover. Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
To remove the left-side cover from the server, do the following:
1. Review the information in Before you begin on page 9.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices, and disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external cables.
3. If necessary, unlock the server cover.
4. Rotate the stabilizing feet on the bottom of the server, and place the server on its side to install or remove components (see Rotating the stabilizing feet on page
10).
5. Pull out on the cover-release latch; then, slide the cover toward the rear of the server and remove it.

Note: Remember to reconnect this cable after you reinstall the support-bracket
assembly.
5. Carefully pull up on the end of the support-bracket assembly that is closer to the rear of the server; then, rotate and lift the support-bracket assembly out of the server.
6. Store the support-bracket assembly in a safe place.
Page 25
Chapter 2. Installing options 13
Working with adapters
You can install up to five peripheral component interconnect (PCI) adapters in the PCI slots on the system board.
Your server comes with an integrated video controller. When you install a video adapter, the server BIOS code automatically disables the integrated video controller.
The following illustration shows the location of the PCI expansion slots.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Adapter considerations
Before you install adapters, review the following:
Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This maintains the electronic emission characteristics of the system and ensures proper cooling of system components.
Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions given in this chapter. If you need to change switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter.
In general, you can install full-length adapters in all expansion slots. Note: Due to variations in adapters, particularly adapter component heights and
locations, some adapters might be easier to install in specific slots.
You can install a 32-bit adapter in any of the PCI slots, but you might want to install it in a 32-bit slot and use the 64-bit slots for 64-bit adapters.
Your server supports 5.0 V and universal PCI adapters; it does not support 3.3 V adapters.
Your server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters. You can use this technique to install a variety of PCI adapters that currently do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.
The server has two PCI buses. PCI slots 1 and 2 are on PCI bus A, and PCI slots 3, 4, and 5 are on PCI bus B.
Note: PCI bus A is sometimes referred to as bus 0; PCI bus B is sometimes
referred to as bus 1.
PCI slot 1 32-bit 33 MHz (J29)
PCI slot 2 32-bit 33 MHz (J31)
PCI slot 3 64-bit 33 MHz (J35)
PCI slot 4 64-bit 33 MHz (J39)
PCI slot 5 64-bit 33 MHz (J40)
Page 26
14 xSeries 220: Installation Guide
The system scans PCI slots 1 through 5 to assign system resources; then, the system starts (boots) the PCI devices in the following order: PCI slots 1 and 2, system board SCSI devices, and then PCI slots 3 through 5.
If you plan to use the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter function in the server, you must install the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter in PCI slot 2. Only PCI slot 2 supports the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter. For additional information on the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter, refer to the documentation that comes with the adapter.
Installing an adapter
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see “Handling static-sensitive devices on page 3.
To install an adapter, do the following:
1. Review the safety precautions in “Safety” on page v and the information in Adapter considerations on page 13.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices and disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external cables.
3. Remove the cover (see Removing the side cover on page 11 for details).
4. Carefully remove the support-bracket assembly from the server (see “Removing the support-bracket assembly on page 12). Store the cover and the support­bracket assembly in a safe place.
5. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter. Note: Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements or
restrictions.

6. Remove the rear adapter retaining bracket from the server. If you are installing a full-length adapter, rotate the front adapter-support bracket to the open (unlocked) position.
7. Remove the expansion-slot cover. Store it in a safe place for future use. Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This
maintains the electronic emission characteristics of the system and ensures proper cooling of system components.
8. Refer to the documentation that comes with your adapter for any cabling instructions. It might be easier for you to route cables before you install the adapter.
9. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package. Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the
adapter.
10. Place the adapter, component-side up, on a flat, static-protective surface.
11. Set any jumpers or switches as described by the adapter manufacturer.
12. Install the adapter: a. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and align it with
the expansion slot on the system board.
b. Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot.
Attention: When you install an adapter in the server, be sure that it is completely and correctly seated in the system-board connector before you apply power. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or the adapter.
c. When the adapter is fully seated, release the front adapter-support bracket by
pushing inward on the latch. Make sure that the front adapter-support bracket holds the adapter securely in place.
d. If you opened the front adapter-support bracket, rotate it to the closed
(locked) position; then, reinstall the rear adapter retaining bracket in the server.
13. Connect any needed cables to the adapter. Attention: Route cables so that they do not block the flow of air from the fans. The following illustration shows how to reroute the SCSI cable. If you install a
ServeRAID adapter and intend to use it with hot-swap, hard disk internal drives, remove the cable from the internal SCSI connector (J41) on the system board and connect it to the ServeRAID adapter.
Note: You can also install a ServeRAID adapter in non-hot-swap models;
however, non-hot-swap models do not support hot-swap hard disk drives.
Page 28
16 xSeries 220: Installation Guide
14. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, replace the support bracket assembly and the side cover (see Installing the cover on page 29 for details).
15. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the server.
Installing memory modules
Your server comes with a dual inline memory module (DIMM) that is installed on the system board in DIMM slot 1 (connector J19).
Notes:
1. When installing additional memory modules, install the second memory module in the connector labeled DIMM2, the third in DIMM3, and the fourth in DIMM4. (See the following illustration for memory-connector locations.)
2. Your xSeries 220 server supports 128 MB, 256 MB, 512MB, and 1GB DIMMs. Your server supports a maximum of 4GB of system memory. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat for a list of memory modules for use with your server.
3. Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information in the server. Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must save the new configuration information by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. When you restart the server, the system displays a message that indicates that the memory configuration has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and select Save Settings. Refer to the Users Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for more information.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.

Internal drive bays
Internal drives are installed in bays. The bays of the xSeries 220 server are in the front of the server, as shown in the following illustration.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
To remove or install a drive, you must turn off the server first, unless you are removing or installing a hot-swap hard disk drive. Diskette drives, tape drives, and CD-ROM drives are removable-media drives. You can install removable-media drives in bays 1, 2, 3, and 4. You can install SCSI hard disk drives in bays 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Your server comes with a 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB diskette drive in bay 3, an integrated drive electronics (IDE) CD-ROM drive in bay 1, and a hard disk drive in bay 7 (in some models).
The xSeries 220 server supports five 3.5-inch drives; however, the server supports only one diskette drive.
The diskette drive uses 1 MB and 2 MB diskettes. For optimum use, format 1 MB diskettes to 720 KB and format 2 MB diskettes to 1.44 MB.
The xSeries 220 server supports two 5.25-inch drives and four SCSI hard disk drives. The server does not support IDE hard disk drives. Some models support hot-swap hard disk drives. Other models support only non-hot-swap hard disk drives.
Your server supports four 1-inch (26 mm) slim, 3.5-inch SCSI hard disk drives in the hard disk drive bays (4, 5, 6, and 7). You can install four non-hot-swap hard disk drives in the models that have the standard non-hot-swap drive cage. You can install three hot-swap hard disk drives and one non-hot-swap hard disk drive in the models that come with the hot-swap drive cage. Both the non-hot-swap and hot-swap drive cages hold a maximum of three hard disk drives. The drive cages comprise bays 5, 6, and 7.

Bay 2 comes without a device installed. This bay is for a 5.25-inch, half-high, removable-media drive, such as a tape backup drive.
Bay 4 is for a 3.5-inch, slim, removable-media drive or SCSI hard disk drive.
Note: The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are
both protected by having bays 1 through 4 covered or occupied. When you install a drive, save the filler panel from the bay, in case you later remove the drive and do not replace it with another.
Preinstallation steps (all bays)
Before you install drives in your server, verify that you have all the cables and any other equipment specified in the documentation that comes with the drive. You might also need to perform certain preinstallation activities. Some of the steps are required only during the initial installation of an option.
1. Read Safety on page v, Handling static-sensitive devices on page 3, and the documentation that comes with your drive.
2. Choose the bay in which you want to install the drive.
3. Check the instructions that come with the drive to see if you need to set any switches or jumpers on the drive.

9. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, replace the support-bracket assembly and the side cover (see Installing the cover on page 29 for details); then, reconnect all device signal cables and power cords.
Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive in bay 5, 6, or 7
If you purchased a hot-swap model, your server contains hardware that you can use to replace a failed hard disk drive without turning off the server. Therefore, you have the advantage of continuing to operate your system while a hard disk drive is removed or installed. These drives are known as hot-swap drives. If these drives are connected to an optional controller, such as a ServeRAID controller, that supports this function, and if one of these drives becomes defective, the ServeRAID controller can rebuild the data from that drive onto another hot-swap drive. Refer to the information that comes with your ServeRAID controller for details.
Each hot-swap drive has two indicator lights: the hard disk drive activity light and the hard disk drive status light. When the green hard disk drive activity light is flashing, the controller is accessing the hard disk drive. When this occurs, the SCSI activity light on the front of the server is also illuminated. The SCSI activity light is illustrated and described in Server controls and indicators on page 33. If the amber hard disk drive status light for a drive is lit continuously, that individual drive is faulty and requires replacement. When the hard disk drive status light indicates a drive fault, you can replace a hot-swap drive without turning off the server.
Note: The hard disk drive activity light is also known as the SCSI hard disk drive
activity light.
Each hot-swap drive that you plan to install comes mounted in a hot-swap-drive tray. The drive must have a single connector attachment (SCA) connector. Hot-swap-drive trays come with hot-swap drives.
Page 36
24 xSeries 220: Installation Guide
The hot-swap bays are connected to a SCSI backplane. This backplane is the printed circuit board behind the bay. The backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the hot-swap drives.
The following illustration shows the hot-swap-drive backplane component locations, as viewed from the front of the server.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Note: The hard disk drive activity light and hard disk drive status light on the
backplane match the hard disk drive activity light and hard disk drive status light on the hot-swap drive.
The following illustration shows the rear connectors on the hot-swap-drive backplane, as viewed from the rear of the server.
The following illustration shows how to install a hot-swap hard disk drive in the server. When you install hot-swap hard disk drives, install them in the following order: bay 7, bay 6, and bay 5.

To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10 minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.
To install a hot-swap hard disk drive in bay 5, 6, or 7, do the following:
1. Review Before you begin on page 9.
2. Read the information in Preinstallation steps (all bays) on page 20. Note: You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap hard disk drives in
these bays.
3. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays by inserting your finger into the depression at the left side of the filler panel and pulling it away from the server.
4. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay: a. Ensure that the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive). b. Align the drive-tray assembly with the guide rails in the bay. c. Gently push the drive-tray assembly into the bay until the drive stops. d. Push the tray handle to the closed (locked) position. e. Check the hard disk drive status light to verify that the hard disk drive is
operating properly. If the amber hard disk drive status light for a drive is lit continuously, that
individual drive is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity light is flashing, the drive is being accessed.
Note: If your server has a ServeRAID controller, you might need to reconfigure
your disk arrays after installing hard disk drives. Refer to the information that comes with your ServeRAID controller.

Installing a microprocessor
Your server comes with one microprocessor, which is installed in microprocessor connector U12 (the microprocessor connector that is furthest from the power supply). This is the startup (boot) microprocessor. If you install a microprocessor in microprocessor connector U11, that one becomes the startup microprocessor, and the microprocessor that is installed in microprocessor connector U12 is the application microprocessor. You must also install a VRM when you install a microprocessor.
Notes:
1. The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your server.
2. If necessary, see System-board internal cable connectors on page 6 for connector locations.
Attention:
To avoid damage and ensure proper server operation when you install a new or additional microprocessor, use microprocessors that have the same cache size and type and the same clock speed. Microprocessor internal clock frequencies and external clock frequencies must be identical. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat for a list of microprocessors for use with your server.
When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see Handling static­sensitive devices on page 3.

Chapter 3. Server power, controls, and indicators
This chapter describes how to start the server, and what the controls and indicators mean.
Turning on the server
Turning on the server refers to the act of plugging the power cord of your server into the power source and starting the operating system.
The server can start in any of the following ways:
You can press the power-control button on the front of the server to start the server.
Note: After you plug the power cord of your server into an electrical outlet, wait
approximately 20 seconds before pressing the power-control button. During this time, the system is initializing; therefore, the power-control button does not respond.
If the server is turned on and a power failure occurs, the server will start automatically when power is restored.
The Wake on LAN feature will turn on the server at the set time (when a Magic Packet is received), provided that all of the following conditions are met:
AC power is present.The server is either off or shut down from an Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface (ACPI) operating system.
The Wake on LAN feature is enabled in the Configuration/Setup Utility
program.
If the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter is installed in the server, the Remote Supervisor Adapter can turn on the server.
The server provides Automatic Server Restart (ASR) logic that supports restarting the system when there is an operating system hang.
Note: To enable Automatic Server Restart a special device driver must be
loaded. This device driver enables the ASR watch-dog timer and then periodically resets it (within 5 minutes). If not reset, the ASR watch-dog timer will expire and boot the system. The watch-dog timer will re-arm itself after reset. To disable the ASR hardware, a jumper must be installed on pins 1 and 2 of J14. The default is no jumper installed (ASR enabled).
The server has an Automatic BIOS Recovery (ABR) feature, which supports recovery from some cases of defective BIOS.
Note: You can install a circular disk over the power-control button to prevent
accidental manual power-off. This disk, known as the power-control button shield, comes with your server.
Page 44
32 xSeries 220: Installation Guide
Turning off the server
Turning off the server refers to the act of disconnecting the server from the power source.
You can turn off the server in any of the following ways:
You can press the power-control button on the front of the server. If this feature is supported by your operating system, this starts an orderly shutdown of the operating system, and places the server in Standby mode.
Note: After turning off the server, wait at least 5 seconds before you press the
power-control button to turn on the server again.
You might need to press and hold the power-control button for more than 4 seconds to cause an immediate shutdown of the server and to force the power off. You can use this feature if the operating system stops functioning.
You can disconnect the server power cords from the electrical outlets to shut off all power to the server.
Note: After disconnecting the power cords, wait about 15 seconds for your
system to stop running. Watch for the power-on light on the front of the server to stop blinking.
Statement 5
CAUTION: The power control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.

IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-06 8/2000
This warranty statement consists of two parts: Part 1 and Part 2. Be sure to read Part 1 and the country-unique terms in Part 2 that apply to your country or region.
Part 1 - General Terms
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2 ­Country-unique Terms. The terms of Part 2 replace or modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or your reseller. The term "Machine" means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them. The term "Machine" does not include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where you acquire the Machine. Nothing in this Statement of Limited Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.
The IBM Warranty for Machines
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM's Official Published Specifications ("Specifications"). The warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date on your sales receipt is the Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.
Extent of Warranty
The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a Machine resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of Machine or parts identification labels.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
Items Not Covered by Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Page 66
54 xSeries 220: Installation Guide
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as assistance via telephone with "how-to" questions and those regarding Machine set-up and installation, will be provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for a Machine, contact IBM or your reseller. If you do not register your Machine with IBM, you may be required to present proof of purchase.
During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide warranty service, provides without charge certain types of repair and exchange service to keep Machines in, or restore them to, conformance with their Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the available types of service for a Machine based on its country of installation. At its discretion, IBM or your reseller will 1) either repair or exchange the failing Machine and 2) provide the service either at your location or a service center. IBM or your reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
Some parts of IBM Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units (called "CRUs"), e.g., keyboards, memory, or hard disk drives. IBM ships CRUs to you for replacement by you. You must return all defective CRUs to IBM within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. You are responsible for downloading designated Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code updates from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following the instructions that IBM provides.
When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the removed part.
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.
You also agree to
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a Machine that you do not own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided: a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that IBM or your reseller provides; b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine; c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your
facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations; and d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine's location.
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM's possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the transportation charges.
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine prior to its return.

Appendix A. Warranty information 55
Limitation of Liability
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM's part or other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property; and
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if recurring, 12 months' charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the claim. For purposes of this item, the term "Machine" includes Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code.
This limit also applies to IBM's suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES (OTHER THAN THOSE
UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
