(R001 part 1 of 2):

DANGER: 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. In addition, do not lean on rack mounted devices and do not use them to stabilize your body position (for example, when working from a ladder).

viii PCIe3 x8 SAS RAID internal adapter 6 Gb

v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord.

– For AC powered racks, be sure to disconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet when directed to

disconnect power during servicing.

– For racks with a DC power distribution panel (PDP), turn off the circuit breaker that controls the

power to the system unit(s), or disconnect the customer’s DC power source, 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.

(R001 part 2 of 2):

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.

Safety notices ix

CAUTION: Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building.

v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack

cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is not known, you must observe the following precautions:

– Remove all devices in the 32U position (compliance ID RACK-001 or 22U (compliance ID RR001)

and above. – Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet. – Ensure that there are little-to-no empty U-levels between devices installed in the rack cabinet

below the 32U (compliance ID RACK-001 or 22U (compliance ID RR001) level, unless the

received configuration specifically allowed it.

v If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the rack cabinet from

the suite.

v If the rack cabinet you are relocating was supplied with removable outriggers they must be

reinstalled before the cabinet is relocated.

v Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards. v Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. Refer to the

documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.

v Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 230 mm (30 x 80 in.). v Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure. v Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position. v Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during movement. v Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees. v When the rack cabinet is in the new location, complete the following steps:

– Lower the four leveling pads. – Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. – If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the lowest

position to the highest position.

v If a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack

cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also lower the leveling pads to raise the casters off of the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet.

Safety notices xiii

CAUTION: Regarding IBM provided VENDOR LIFT TOOL:

v Operation of LIFT TOOL by authorized personnel only. v LIFT TOOL intended for use to assist, lift, install, remove units (load) up into rack elevations. It is

not to be used loaded transporting over major ramps nor as a replacement for such designated tools like pallet jacks, walkies, fork trucks and such related relocation practices. When this is not practicable, specially trained persons or services must be used (for instance, riggers or movers).

v Read and completely understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's manual before using.

Failure to read, understand, obey safety rules, and follow instructions may result in property damage and/or personal injury. If there are questions, contact the vendor's service and support. Local paper manual must remain with machine in provided storage sleeve area. Latest revision manual available on vendor's web site.

v Test verify stabilizer brake function before each use. Do not over-force moving or rolling the LIFT

TOOL with stabilizer brake engaged.

v Do not move LIFT TOOL while platform is raised, except for minor positioning. v Do not exceed rated load capacity. See LOAD CAPACITY CHART regarding maximum loads at

center versus edge of extended platform.

v Only raise load if properly centered on platform. Do not place more than 200 lb (91 kg) on edge of

sliding platform shelf also considering the load's center of mass/gravity (CoG).

v Do not corner load the platform tilt riser accessory option. Secure platform riser tilt option to main

shelf in all four (4x) locations with provided hardware only, prior to use. Load objects are designed to slide on/off smooth platforms without appreciable force, so take care not to push or lean. Keep riser tilt option flat at all times except for final minor adjustment when needed.

v Do not stand under overhanging load. v Do not use on uneven surface, incline or decline (major ramps). v Do not stack loads. v Do not operate while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. v Do not support ladder against LIFT TOOL. v Tipping hazard. Do not push or lean against load with raised platform. v Do not use as a personnel lifting platform or step. No riders. v Do not stand on any part of lift. Not a step. v Do not climb on mast. v Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning LIFT TOOL machine. v Crush and pinch point hazard below platform. Only lower load in areas clear of personnel and

obstructions. Keep hands and feet clear during operation.

v No Forks. Never lift or move bare LIFT TOOL MACHINE with pallet truck, jack or fork lift. v Mast extends higher than platform. Be aware of ceiling height, cable trays, sprinklers, lights, and

other overhead objects.

v Do not leave LIFT TOOL machine unattended with an elevated load. v Watch and keep hands, fingers, and clothing clear when equipment is in motion. v Turn Winch with hand power only. If winch handle cannot be cranked easily with one hand, it is

probably over-loaded. Do not continue to turn winch past top or bottom of platform travel. Excessive unwinding will detach handle and damage cable. Always hold handle when lowering, unwinding. Always assure self that winch is holding load before releasing winch handle.

v A winch accident could cause serious injury. Not for moving humans. Make certain clicking sound

is heard as the equipment is being raised. Be sure winch is locked in position before releasing handle. Read instruction page before operating this winch. Never allow winch to unwind freely. Freewheeling will cause uneven cable wrapping around winch drum, damage cable, and may cause serious injury. (C048)

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. In addition, do not lean on rack mounted devices and do not use them to stabilize your body position (for example, when working from a ladder).

v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord.

– For AC powered racks, be sure to disconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet when directed to

disconnect power during servicing. – For racks with a DC power distribution panel (PDP), turn off the circuit breaker that controls the

power to the system unit(s), or disconnect the customer’s DC power source, 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.

(R001 part 2 of 2):

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.

20 PCIe3 x8 SAS RAID internal adapter 6 Gb

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 begin a replacement or installation procedure, perform these tasks:

1. If you are installing a new feature, ensure that you have the software required to support the new

feature. See IBM Prerequisite.

2. If you are performing an installation or replacement procedure that might put your data at risk,

ensure, wherever possible, that you have a current backup of your system or logical partition (including operating systems, licensed programs, and data).

3. Review the installation or replacement procedure for the feature or part.

4. Note the significance of color on your system.

Blue or terra-cotta on a part of the hardware indicates a touch point where you can grip the hardware to remove it from or install it in the system, open or close a latch, and so on. Terra-cotta might also indicate that the part can be removed and replaced with the system or logical partition power on.

5. Ensure that you have access to a medium flat-blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, and a pair of

scissors.

6. If parts are incorrect, missing, or visibly damaged, do the following:

Identifying a part by using the operating system or VIOS

Learn how to use AIX®, IBM i, Linux, or the Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) to identify a part.

For IBM Power Systems™that contain the POWER8®processor, the identify LEDs can be used to identify or verify the location of a part that you intend to install, remove, or replace. The identify function (flashing the amber LED) corresponds to the location code you are going to work with.

When you are removing a part, first verify whether you are working on the correct part by using the identify function in the management console or other user interface. When you remove a part by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC), the identify function is activated and deactivated automatically at the correct times.

The identify function causes the amber LED to flash. When you turn off the identify function, the LED returns to the state it was previously. For parts that have a blue service button, the identify function sets LED information for the service button so that when the button is pressed, the correct LEDs on that part flash.

Note: Use the enclosure locate LED to identify the enclosure that is being serviced. Then, confirm and verify the location of the FRU (to be serviced) in the enclosure by checking the active identify indicator (flashing LED) for the selected FRU. For some FRUs, you might need to remove the service access cover to be able to see the identify indicators.

Starting an IBM PowerKVM system

You can use the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) to start an IBM PowerKVM system.

To start an IBM PowerKVM system, run the ipmitool -I lanplus -H FSP IP -P ipmipassword chassis power on command from a remote system.

Stopping a system or logical partition

Learn how to stop a system or logical partition as a part of a system upgrade or service action.

Attention: Using either the power-on button on the control panel or entering commands at the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to stop the system can cause unpredictable results in the data files. Also, the next time you start the system, it might take longer if all applications are not ended before stopping the system.

To stop the system or logical partition, select the appropriate procedure.

Stopping a system that is not managed by an HMC

You might need to stop the system to complete another task. If your system is not managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC), use these instructions to stop the system by using the power button or the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI).

Before you stop the system, follow these steps:

Common procedures for removing or replacing the PCIe3 x8 SAS RAID internal adapter 6 Gb 33

1. Ensure that all jobs are completed and end all applications.

2. If a Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) logical partition is running, ensure that all clients are shut down or that

the clients have access to their devices by using an alternative method.

Stopping a system by using the control panel

The following procedure describes how to stop a system that is not managed by the HMC.

1. Log in to the host partition as a user with the authority to run the shutdown or pwrdwnsys (Power Down System) command.

2. At the command line, enter one of the following commands:

v If your system is running the AIX operating system, type shutdown. v If your system is running the Linux operating system, type shutdown -h now. v If your system is running the IBM i operating system, type PWRDWNSYS. If your system is partitioned,

use the PWRDWNSYS command to power down each of the secondary partitions. Then, use the PWRDWNSYS command to power down the primary partition.

The command stops the operating system. The system power turns off, the power-on light begins to slowly flash, and the system goes into a standby state.

3. Record the IPL type and the IPL mode from the control panel display to help you return the system to this state when the installation or replacement procedure is completed.

4. Set the power switches of any devices that are connected to the system to off.

Stopping a system by using the ASMI

To stop a system by using the ASMI, complete the following steps:

1. On the ASMI Welcome pane, specify your user ID and password, and click Log In.

2. In the navigation area, click Power/Restart Control > Power On/Off System. The power state of the

system is displayed.

3. Specify the settings as required and click Save setting and power off.

Stopping a system by using the HMC

You can use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to stop the system or logical partition.

By default, the managed system is set to power off automatically when you shut down the last running logical partition on the managed system. If you set the managed system properties on the HMC so that the managed system does not power off automatically, you must use this procedure to power off your managed system.

Attention: Ensure that you shut down the running logical partitions on the managed system before you power off the managed system. Powering off the managed system without shutting down the logical partitions first causes the logical partitions to shut down abnormally and can cause data loss. If you use a Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) logical partition, ensure that all clients are shut down or that the clients have access to their devices by using an alternative method.

To power off a managed system, you must be a member of one of the following roles:

v Super administrator v Service representative

34 PCIe3 x8 SAS RAID internal adapter 6 Gb

v Operator v Product engineer

Note: If you are a product engineer, verify that the customer has shut down all active partitions and has powered off the managed system. Continue with the procedure only after the status of the server changes to Power Off.

Stopping a system by using the HMC Classic or HMC Enhanced interface

Learn how to stop a system by using the HMC Classic or HMC Enhanced interface.

To stop the system or logical partition by using the HMC Classic or HMC Enhanced interface, complete the following steps:

1. In the navigation area, click Systems Management > Servers.

2. In the content pane, select the managed system.

3. In the Tasks area, click Operations > Power Off.
