Rack Safety Instructions

not install this unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed 40 degrees C. not install this unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Any side, front or back of the unit

used for air flow through the unit must not be in direct contact with the rack. Care should be taken to ensure that a hazardous condition is not created due to uneven mechanical

loading when installing this unit in a rack. If the rack has a stabilizer it must be firmly attached before installing or removing this unit.

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

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.

Electrical and Mechanical Safety

Observe the following safety instructions anytime you are connecting or disconnecting devices attached to the workstation.

DANGER

electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of

An 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.

Laser Safety Information

CAUTION: This product may contain a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or laser module on a PCI card, which are class 1 laser products.

C30

Laser Compliance

All lasers are certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for class

laser products. Outside the U.S., they are certified to be in compliance with the IEC 825 (first edition

1984) as a class 1 laser product. Consult the label on each part for laser certification numbers and approval information.

CAUTION: All IBM laser modules are designed so that there is never any human access to laser radiation above a class 1 level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service conditions. Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules that operate at greater than class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end

optical fiber cable or open receptacle. Only trained service personnel should perform the

inspection or repair of optical fiber cable assemblies and receptacles.

Eserver pSeries 650 Installation Guide

Data Integrity and Verification

IBM computer systems contain mechanisms designed to reduce the possibility of undetected data corruption

loss. This risk, however, cannot be eliminated. Users who experience unplanned outages, system failures, power fluctuations or outages, or component failures must verify the accuracy of operations performed and data saved or transmitted by the system at or near the time of the outage or failure. In addition, users must establish procedures to ensure that there is independent data verification before relying on such data in sensitive or critical operations. Users should periodically check the IBM support websites for updated information and fixes applicable to the system and related software.

Chapter 2. Installing the pSeries 650

Service representatives use the procedures in this chapter to set up your pSeries 650.

Note: This procedure explains how to attach the mounting hardware to the rack enclosure. If your pSeries

650 was preinstalled in the rack, perform the rack-installation procedures as described in the 7014 Model T00 Rack Installation and Service Guide, order number SA38-0577, then return here and begin with “Step 5. Are All of the Features Installed?” on page 16.

pSeries 650 Overview

The pSeries 650 is a multiprocessor, multibus system packaged in one 7038 Model 6M2 system drawer and up to eight I/O drawers. The processor subsystem drawer is 8 EIA units high and can be mounted in a 19-inch rack. The 7038 Model 6M2 system drawer houses the processors, memory, and a base set of I/O.

The I/O capacity of the system can be expanded by the addition of up to eight I/O subsystems.

The pSeries 650 system supports up to eight logical partitions. Processors, memory, and I/O within each partition can be dynamically removed or added without the need to reboot the system. Logical partitioning requires the use of a hardware management console (HMC) that is used to manage and monitor the system resources as well as provide a service focal point.

Cables are used to connect the base system to the I/O subsystem drawers, including the following:

SPCN (System Power Control Network) cables. RIO (Remote Input Output) cables.

Power

connected to the pSeries 650 through redundant power cords that attach to redundant type-7

power distribution buses (PDBs), which are installed in the rack.

Before You Begin

ensure that all of the installation steps are complete, the installer should use the following installation checklists during the installation process. The customer’s choice of system console options and partition configurations determines which of the following checklists to use. At the appropriate points in the installation steps, you will be referred to the applicable checklist.

Note:

the system you are installing will be managed by an HMC, and the HMC is not installed and functional, see the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide, order number SA38-0590, for instructions on installing the HMC. Install the HMC, then return here and continue with this procedure.

1. If

Rail Positioning Without a Template

you do not have a rack-mounting template, do the following:

Determine where in the rack to place the system unit. The system unit you are about to install measures 8 EIA units high. Make note of the EIA location number.

Note:

EIA unit on your rack consists of a grouping of three holes.

Facing the front of the rack and working from the right side, place a self-adhesive dot next to the top hole of the bottom EIA unit.

Note: The self-adhesive dots are used to aid in identifying locations on the rack. If you no longer have

any of the dots, use some other form of marking tool to aid you in identifying hole locations (for example, tape, a marker, or pencil).

Place another self-adhesive dot next to the top hole of the above EIA unit.

Note: If you are counting the holes, begin with the hole identified by the first dot and count up four

holes. Place the second dot next to the fourth hole.

Secure a nut clip to the rack four holes up from the top dot (bottom hole of the top EIA unit). The nut clip aids in securing your system drawer to the rack while in transit.

Notes:

you are counting the holes, begin with the hole identified by the top dot and count up four holes.

Place the nut clip next to the fourth hole. Whenever a populated rack is being moved, secure the system drawers with two retaining

thumbscrews threaded through the nut clips. This action secures the system front bezel and system chassis to the rack.

When counting from the nut clip to the bottom dot, there is an 8-hole span.

Repeat this process for the left side of the rack.

Chapter 5. Installing Options for the pSeries 650

This chapter provides instructions to help you add options to your system. In case you need to remove one option to install another, some option removal instructions are provided. If you have several internal options to install, these instructions enable you to add them all at one time.

Before performing any of the installation or removal procedures in this chapter, read the following safety considerations.

Safety Considerations

Observe the following safety precautions anytime you work with this system unit.

the system you are about to set up or service: The ac power interface connector is considered the main power disconnect device. This system has redundant power supply capabilities, meaning that it has the capability of having two

power supplies running simultaneously in the same system unit. When you are instructed to disconnect the power source, ensure that all power cords have been unplugged.

DANGER

electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts

the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer 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.

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,

station protectors for communications lines.

D05

CAUTION: This product is equipped with a three-wire power cable and plug for the user’s safety. Use this power cable with a properly grounded electrical outlet to avoid electrical shock.

C01

CAUTION: This unit has more than one power supply cord. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect two power supply cords before servicing.

C21

Notes:

This unit will have two power cords only if the redundant power supply feature is installed. Servicing of the pSeries 650 is performed with the system in the rack and placed into the service

position. See the Eserver pSeries 650 Service Guide for more information on the service position for the pSeries 650.

Handling Static-Sensitive Devices

Attention: Electronic boards, diskette drives, and disk drives are sensitive to static electricity discharge.

These devices are wrapped in antistatic bags to prevent this damage.

Take the following precautions:

you have an antistatic wrist strap available, use it while handling the device.

not remove the device from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the device in the system. With the device still in its antistatic bag, touch it to a metal frame of the system. Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Hold drives by the frame. Avoid touching the solder joints or

pins.

you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic bag, lay it on the antistatic bag. Before

picking it up again, touch the antistatic bag and the metal frame of the system at the same time. Handle the devices carefully to prevent permanent damage.

Color Coded Indicators

Some components in this system are color coded to indicate a location where an installation or removal task is performed. When you are installing or removing components in this system, note that the handles and latches are indicated using either blue or orange color. The colors indicate the following:

Orange designates a location for a component that can be installed or removed without powering off the system. The system hardware and operating system must be enabled to allow these tasks. Also, there might be preparatory steps that the user must perform before any installation or removal is attempted.

Blue indicates a touch point that is used in the installation or removal of a component. The power must

removed before you install or remove a part that has only a blue touch point.

Note:

one or more partitions must be shutdown and powered off before replacing any PCI adapter or device assigned to a Linux partition. Please follow the non-hot-pluggable adapter or device procedures when replacing a PCI adapter or device in any partition with Linux installed.

Your system can have up to four disk drives installed. The disk drives are mounted in carriers that allow the disk drives to plug into the bay slots. When you install or remove disk drives, refer to the procedures in this section.

Disk drives that are installed in the four-position bays are referred to as hot-pluggable disk drives.

The SCSI disk drive bays have light emitting diodes (LEDs) to identify the state of the disk drive slot (1) shown in the following illustration. The disk drive carriers also have status lights (2), which are used to determine if the drive is active.

Note: The SCSI disk may have an optional second LED. If so, the bottom one is not used.

Preinstallation Considerations for Disk Drives

Consider the following when installing disk drives into your system unit:

Use caution when you are handling all disk drives. Disk drives are more likely to be damaged during installation and service than at any other time. A fall of as little as .25 inch, bumping, or rough handling can all cause latent failures.

Media drives are particularly sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Follow all electrostatic handling procedures prior to handling the media drive.

You must install the appropriate disk drive bay hardware before proceeding.
