Rack Safety Instructions

v Do not install this unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed 35 degrees C. v Do not install this unit in a rack where the airflow 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.

v 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.

v 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.

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.

Preface ix

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 DHHS21 CFR Subchapter J for class 1 laser products. Outside the U.S., they are certified to be in compliance with the IEC 60825 as a class 1 laser product. Consult the label on each part for laser certification numbers and/or 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 of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle. Only trained service personnel should perform the inspection or repair of optical fiber cable assemblies and receptacles.

Data Integrity and Verification

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

Server handling and packaging information

This section applies to the following server machine types and models:

v pSeries 655 v pSeries 670 v pSeries 690 v 369/55 v 406/70 v 406/70 v 9118 v 9119

DANGER

Because

of the size and weight of this product, the installation, relocation, or discontinuance

packaging and unpackaging of this server must be performed by professional movers who are trained to avoid the hazards associated with moving large heavy objects.

When the server is delivered to a customer location, the professional mover must unpack the server from the shipping crate, move the server to the installation location, install any weight distribution plates, if provided, and remove the shipping crate. The shipping crate is then returned to the shipper. Do not remove the shipping bag from around the server for 48 hours, even if the server was shipped in a climate-controlled truck. This action allows the server to acclimate to its environment. If the customer is not ready for the professional mover to perform the installation, relocation, or discontinuance procedures, it then becomes the customer’s responsibility to contact the professional mover, so that the professional mover can return and complete the unpacking of the server. The customer is responsible for any additional charges this might incur.

Before this server is relocated or discontinued, it must be properly packaged in the approved packing material. This action ensures the safe handling and the protection of the server. The authorized service provider is responsible for ordering the appropriate packing material. A list of appropriate packing material is located at the following IBM internal Web site: http://cssweb1.atlanta.ibm.com/ssrhomepage/packingsealing.html.

Relocation and discontinuance activity is usually billable, and the cost of the packing material must be included in the contract.

Customer Responsibility for Site Preparation

Attention: Before installing the system, refer to the Site and Hardware Planning Information. Observe

the requirements in the Site and Hardware Planning Information relating to system weight, noise emissions, power, and cooling.

The customer is responsible for consulting with a qualified licensed structural engineer to determine if the building concrete subfloor can withstand the floor loading specified in the Site and Hardware Planning Information.

For detailed information about securing the rack at the installation site, refer to Appendix F, “Securing the Rack,” on page 141.

Service Representative Responsibility for Installation

Service representatives should use the information presented in this chapter and Appendix D, “pSeries 655 Description and Overview,” on page 125 to become familiar with the pSeries 655 Model 651 processor subsystem (machine type 7039) , referred to in this publication as the processor subsystem.

The procedures in this chapter describe how to:

v Set up the system v Determine the system configuration and whether weight reduction is required. (See Appendix D,

“pSeries 655 Description and Overview,” on page 125 and “Weight Reduction” on page 9.)

v Connect and configure the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to the system(s) for use in the

installation procedures.

Step 1. Observe Safety Notices During Installation

CAUTION: This unit weighs between 32 kg (70.5 pounds) and 55 kg (121.2 pounds). Three persons are required to safely move it. Using less than three persons to move it can result in injury.

C05

C27

CAUTION: This unit has more than one power supply cord. Follow procedures for removal of power from the system when directed.

C28

CAUTION: Energy hazard, remove all jewelry before servicing.

C29

Step 2. Check the Prerequisites to Installing the System

Before installing the system, ensure that the following have been completed:

v Rack doors (front and rear) are available v Planning procedures outlined in Site and Hardware Planning Information have been reviewed and

implemented

Attention: If the system will weigh more than 1136 kg (2500 lbs.) at the installation location, the

weight distribution plate must be installed on the rack. For installation instructions for the weight plate, refer to “Install the Weight Distribution Plate” on page 150.

8 Eserver pSeries 655 Installation Guide

Weight Reduction

Certain system configurations may include a rack that weighs in excess of 1136 kg (2500 lbs.) (doors removed) as shipped from manufacturing. Some elevators have a weight restriction that prevents lifting these systems. To reduce the weight of affected systems to less than 1136 kg (2500 lbs.), service personnel must remove the integrated battery features (IBFs) and some processor subsystems and I/O subsystems installed in the system rack. This weight reduction is only required for these systems when the installation process requires the rack to be reduced temporarily to less than 1136 kg (2500 lbs.).

For instructions on removing and replacing the components, see Chapter 4, “Installation and Removal Procedures,” on page 39.

Configurations affected by this weight limitation consist of systems having the 7040 Model W42 frame with:

v Eight or more processor subsystems v Three or more I/O subsystems v Two or three IBFs

Recommended Order for Removing Components for Weight Reduction

The recommended order for removing components to reduce weight is as follows:

1. Remove all IBFs.

2. Remove processor subsystems or I/O subsystems, starting from the top position and working down the rack.

Determine the Number of Components to Remove

Use the following tables to determine the number of IBFs or processor subsystems to remove to reduce system weight to a maximum of 1136 kg (2500 lbs.).

Step 3. Unpack the System

After the customer unpacks the system, the service representative should determine if weight reduction is required before the customer moves the system to its installation site. If it is necessary to reduce the system weight to a maximum 1136 kg (2500 lbs.), refer to “Weight Reduction” on page 9 to calculate the number of subsystems to remove. Follow the recommended order for removing components.

After the system weight is reduced to less than 1136 kg (2500 lbs.), the customer should move the system to its installation location, and proceed to “Step 4. Check the Inventory.”

Step 4. Check the Inventory

Use the packing lists for each ship group to verify that you have all the items shipped with the system.

Other tools that might be needed for installation, but not shipped with the system, include:

v Electronic Service Multimeter v Lift Tool v Service Vacuum v Service Ladder v Stepladder

Hardware Management Console (If Not Installed)

v Hardware Management Console (HMC). One HMC is standard; a second HMC is optional. v Power cords v Display and keyboard

Asynchronous Adapters

v 8-port asynchronous adapters are required for the HMC. One adapter is required for each HMC being

installed. The 8-port asynchronous adapter connects the HMC to the Bulk Power Controllers (BPCs) through its connector box.

v 128-port asynchronous adapters can be installed depending upon the system configuration and the

number of processor subsystems being installed. Numerous processor subsystems can be connected to the HMCs through 128-port asynchronous adapters and RANs.

Tool Kits

The following tool kits are shipped with the system:

v Processor subsystem tools (part number 44P1461, MFI 00P4635) v I/O subsystem tools (part number 44P2629, MFI 00P4652)

Ensure that these tools are placed in the rack toolbox located at the bottom front of the rack.

Step 6. Position and Level the Rack

To adjust the leveler feet on the rack, do the following:

1. Ensure the rack is positioned according to the customer plan.

2. Loosen the jam nut on each leveler foot by turning the nut counterclockwise (away from the bottom of

the rack).

3. Rotate each leveler foot downward until it contacts the surface on which the rack is placed.

4. Adjust the leveler feet downward as needed until the rack is level. When the rack is level, tighten the

jam nuts against the base by turning the nut clockwise (toward the bottom of the rack).

Chapter 2. Installing the pSeries 655 11

1 Jam Nut 2 Leveler Foot 3 Rack Base (Front)

If the system weighs 1701 kg (3750 lb). the rack weight distribution plate must be installed. To secure the rack to the floor and install the weight distribution plate, see Appendix F, “Securing the Rack,” on page

141.

Step 7. Install Subsystems in the 7040-W42 Frame

If subsystems were removed from the system rack to reduce weight to enable moving the rack to the installation site, or if separate subsystem shipments were received, perform this step. System weight may have been reduced because of either of the following conditions:

v Processor subsystems, I/O subsystems, integrated battery feature, and/or frame top extender were

shipped separately.

v Processor subsystems, I/O subsystems, integrated battery feature, and/or frame top extender were

removed to enable moving the system to its installation site.

proceed with installation or reinstallation of subsystems, do the following:

1. Install or reinstall all of the system subsystems as described in Chapter 4, “Installation and Removal Procedures,” on page 39.

2. If the frame top extender was removed, reinstall the extender as described in Appendix I, “Removing and Installing the Rack To p Frame,” on page 171.

Step 8. Check the Cables

Cables may loosen during shipping. Check for loose cables before continuing the installation. Reconnect any cables that are loose or disconnected.

12 Eserver pSeries 655 Installation Guide

Step 9. Verify that the Unit Emergency Power Off (UEPO) Switch is in the Off Position

Note: UEPO refers to the red Unit Emergency Power Off switch located on the unit. EPO refers to the

computer room Emergency Power off.

The unit emergency power off (UEPO) switch is located on the front of the system rack. When the switch is tripped, utility power is confined to the machine power compartment. All volatile data is lost.

Computer Room Emergency Power Off (EPO)

Attention: When the integrated battery feature (IBF) is installed and the room EPO is turned off, the

batteries engage and the system continues to run. It is possible to attach the computer room EPO system to the machine UEPO. When this is done, turning off the room EPO disconnects all power from the power cords and the IBF unit. In this event, all volatile data is lost.

To incorporate the IBF into the room EPO, a cable connection must be made to connect to the rear of the system UEPO panel. The following diagrams illustrate how to make the connection.

Step 10. Check Power Outlets and Source

CAUTION: Do not touch the receptacle or the receptacle faceplate with anything other than your test probes before you have met the requirements in step 8.

C02

To ensure that the customer has provided the correct power to the system, do the following:

1. This system is equipped to use 200-240 V/380-415 V/480 V ac, three-phase power. Check that the correct power source is available.

2. Have the customer locate and turn off the branch circuit breaker and attach tag S229-0237, which reads “Do Not Operate.”

Note: All measurements are made with the receptacle faceplate in the normally installed position.

3. Some receptacles are enclosed in metal housings. On receptacles of this type, perform the following steps:

a. Check for less than 1 volt from the receptacle case to any grounded metal structure in the

building, such as a raised-floor metal structure, water pipe, building steel, or similar structure.

b. Check for less than 1 volt from receptacle ground pin to a grounded point in the building.

If the receptacle case or faceplate is painted, be sure the probe tip penetrates the paint and

Note:

makes good electrical contact with the metal.

4. Check the resistance from the ground pin of the receptacle to the receptacle case. Check resistance from the ground pin to building ground. The reading should be less than 1.0 ohm, which indicates the presence of a continuous grounding conductor.

If measured impedance is greater that 1 ohm and the test instrument used was a digital

Note:

multimeter, verify that the grounding impedance is correct by using an appropriately approved ground-impedance tester.

5. If any of the checks made in substeps 2, 3, and 4 are not correct, ask the customer to remove the power from the branch circuit and make the wiring corrections; then check the receptacle again.

6. Check for infinite resistance between the phase pins. This is a check for a wiring short.

C03

7. Have the customer remove tag S229-0237, which reads “Do Not Operate” and turn on the branch circuit breaker.

14 Eserver pSeries 655 Installation Guide

Note: If your power source does not have a standard receptacle, check for voltage using local

procedures.

Measure

for appropriate voltages between phases. If no voltage is present on the receptacle case or

grounded pin, the receptacle is safe to touch.

8. With an appropriate meter, verify that the voltage at the outlet is correct:

v For 200-240 V, the acceptable phase-phase voltage measurement range is 180 to 254 V. v For 380-415 V, the acceptable phase-phase voltage measurement range is 342 to 440 V. v For 480 V, the acceptable phase-phase voltage measurement range is 432 to 509 V.

9. Verify that the grounding impedance is correct by using the ECOS 1020, 1023, B7106, or an

appropriately approved ground impedance tester.

10. Have the customer turn off the branch circuit breaker and attach tag S229-0237, which reads “Do Not Operate.”

Chapter 2. Installing the pSeries 655 15

Step 11. Route and Connect Power Cords to the System

The rack system has two power cords, one located on the front and one on the rear of the rack. These two power cords attach to each of the Bulk Power Assemblies (BPAs) at the front and at the rear of the rack. The power cords are routed as shown in the following illustration.

The following illustration shows the power cord routing in the rack.

1 Power Cord 2 Cord Connection at BPA 3 Electrical Power Source Connection

Notes:

1. The front power cord is routed at the bottom of the rack to the rear of the rack, through the cable access hole in the rack bottom extender, through the cutout in the floor tile, and connected to the electrical source.

2. The rear power cord is routed to the bottom of the rack, through the cable access hole in the rack bottom extender, through the cutout in the floor tile, and connected to the electrical source.

Install and Configure an 8-Port Asynchronous Adapter

To install and configure an 8-port asynchronous adapter, refer to the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide.

To connect the cables from the processor subsystem to the 8-port asynchronous adapter, use the following procedure.

Connect the Processor Subsystem to the 8-Port Asynchronous Adapter

At least one 8-port asynchronous adapter is required. Up to two 8-port asynchronous adapters can be installed. The D-shell connector on the rear of the adapter attaches to the 8-port expansion cable. The cable is approximately 0.9 m (3 ft.), and on the other end, has a slim box (21.6 cm (8-1/2 in.) x 7.6 cm (3 in.) x 3.8 cm (1-1/2 in.)) with 8 separate serial port connectors on it. The cable is labeled ISA 8-Port Cable. Serial cables can be connected from any of the ports on the 8-port expansion cable to the HMC ports on the managed systems.

If you are using a second, redundant HMC, connect cables from all of the processor subsystem’s HMC1 ports to the 8-port cable on one HMC, and connect all the processor subsystem’s HMC2 ports to the 8-port cable on the other HMC.

HMC to Processor Subsystem Cabling

The following illustration shows cabling for both the 8-port asynchronous adapter and 128-port asynchronous adapter to the HMC and the processor subsystems. The top portion of the illustration shows the 8-port adapter and the RS422 cable to support up to four system frames. For smaller system configurations, the 8-port asynchronous adapter can be used for RS232 connections.

Configure Ports on the 8-Port Asynchronous Adapter

The default configuration for ports on the 8-port asynchronous adapter is for RS232 ports. To use RS422 cables on the adapter, the adapter must be configured to accommodate them. For configuration instructions, refer to the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide.

Install and Configure an 128-Port Asynchronous Adapter

The 128-port asynchronous adapter is an option for the HMC. It must be configured by the service representative when the HMC is installed. The 128-port asynchronous adapter software is installed in the HMC base software-installation package.

This adapter provides the control function and connectors to attach eight 16-port remote asynchronous nodes (RANs). When all eight RANs are attached, this combination provides 128 RS232 or RS422 communication ports.

Refer to the illustrations shown in “HMC to Processor Subsystem Cabling” on page 24 for cable information. The bottom portion of the illustration shows the 128-port adapter and the RS232 cable pairs to support up to 64 processors. There are 16 RS232 ports per RAN unit. Up to four RAN units can be daisy-chained on one 128-port asynchronous adapter. The RAN unit has Ethernet (RJ45) connectors that connect to the 25-pin D-shell male connector on the RS232 cable.

To install and configure the 128-port asynchronous adapter, refer to the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Maintenance Guide. Installation of the adapter requires:

v Connecting cables v Setting the RAN node number v Configuring the adapter v Updating the device driver

Chapter 2. Installing the pSeries 655 25

Connect an Additional 128-Port Asynchronous Adapter

An additional optional 128-port asynchronous adapter can be installed. The D-shell connectors on the rear of the adapter attach to RANs. Serial cables can be connected from any of the ports on a RAN to the HMC1 ports on the managed systems.

If you are using a second, redundant HMC, connect cables from all the processor subsystem HMC1 ports to the RAN on one HMC, and connect all the processor subsystem HMC2 ports to the RANs on the other HMC.

To install and configure an additional 128-port asynchronous adapter, refer to the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Maintenance Guide.

Step 13. Connect the External Modem

The customer is responsible for providing the Ethernet LAN cable. The Ethernet LAN cable is required because each active partition reports errors to the HMC’s Service Focal Point application through the LAN network. To connect the LAN cable, refer to the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide.

Step 15. Connect the High Power Switch Cables

See Appendix H, “LAN and Switch Cable Installation and Management Procedures,” on page 161.

Step 16. Connect the Power Cords

1. Connect the HMC power cord into the power receptacle on the rear of the HMC.

2. Plug the power cords for the display, HMC, and modem (if applicable) into electrical outlets.

3. Plug in the power cords from the rack to the electrical power source.

Step 17. Turn on the IBF Breaker (If Present)

Turn on the Integrated Battery Feature (IBF) breaker.

26 Eserver pSeries 655 Installation Guide

Step 18. Have the Customer Activate the Designated Circuit Breakers

Have the customer activate the designated circuit breakers by doing the following:

1. Ensure that the tag S229-0237, which reads “Do Not Operate,” has been removed.

2. Reset the circuit breaker.

The following steps should be performed only by the service representative.

Note:

3. Turn the UEPO switch to the ON position.

4. Verify that the LEDs on the bulk power enclosure are on. The labels on the LEDs are as follows:

v BPC - good v BPD - good v Power v Complete v Standby (flashes, then lights on solid) v BPR enabled v Power-in on processor subsystem(s)

Step 19. Power on the HMC

Attention: Ensure that all subsystems are correctly installed and cabled before performing this step.

To power on the HMC, refer to the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and

Operations Guide for instructions. Ensure that the I/O subsystems are correctly installed and cabled before

performing this step.

At HMC power on, the HMC performs an initialization to determine a frame’s managed systems and resources.

Note: If either an 8-port or 128-port asynchronous adapter is installed, the adapters must be configured

before the HMC can inventory the managed systems. See “Configure Ports on the 8-Port Asynchronous Adapter” on page 25 and “Install and Configure an 128-Port Asynchronous Adapter”

on page 25. The rack (frame) may contain combinations of processor subsystems, I/O subsystems, and IBFs. For details of this initialization, refer to ″Initializing a Frame’s Managed Systems and Resources″ in the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide.

Step 20. Verify HMC Code Level

The customer is responsible for verifying that the required code level is installed on the HMC. To verify the HMC code level, refer to the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations

Guide for instructions.

1. Select Help on the HMC interface.

2. Select About Hardware Management Console. The code level installed on the HMC is displayed.

The code level must be Release 3.1.2 or later.

Note:

3. If the code level is not Release 3.1.2 or later, the customer should call their service representative for

instructions on how to obtain the required code level.

Chapter 2. Installing the pSeries 655 27

Step 21. Set the Console’s Date and Time

At the initial installation of the HMC, the date and time must be set on the HMC. Instructions for setting the date and time are contained in the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide.

The battery-operated clock keeps the date and time for the HMC. Yo u may also need to set the console date and time under the following circumstances:

v If the battery is replaced in the HMC v If your system is physically moved to a different time zone

Step 22. Verify Installation is Complete Using the HMC Interface

Use the HMC basic system management tasks to verify that the installation is successful and complete. The tasks may be used to power the system on or off, view managed systems properties, and other functions. For detailed procedures on using the basic management tasks, refer to the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide.

Step 23. Determine Firmware and Microcode Levels

Ensure that the latest firmware and microcode levels are installed on the system. The following firmware and microcode should be brought to the latest level:

v System firmware v Frame (power subsystem) firmware v Integrated SCSI controller microcode v Integrated Ethernet microcode

The integrated SCSI controller and integrated Ethernet microcode can only be verified after the

Note:

operating system is installed.

To determine the current level of firmware and microcode, and how to perform updates, go to Processor Subsystem Firmware Updates in the Eserver pSeries 655 User’s Guide.

Step 24. Installing the Operating System

If an operating system has been preinstalled on your system, see the documentation provided with the operating system.

If you are installing the AIX operating system at this time, AIX can be installed from a Network Installation Management (NIM) server. For information about installing AIX from a NIM server, see the AIX Installation Guide and Reference.

When installation of AIX is completed, return to this step.

Step 25. Verify Basic Hardware and Operating System Operation

Verify the basic hardware and operating system operation by running the online diagnostics in the service mode as described in “Running Online Diagnostics in Service Mode” on page 34.

Step 26. Install the Rack Doors

This step describes how to install the doors on the system rack. For more information about the doors, see “Step 2. Check the Prerequisites to Installing the System” on page 8.

30 Eserver pSeries 655 Installation Guide

Chapter 3. Verifying the Hardware Operations

Running diagnostics verifies system hardware operation. The diagnostics consist of online diagnostics and standalone diagnostics.

The diagnostic procedures described in this chapter must be run for each processor subsystem

Note:

installed in a rack.

Attention: The AIX operating system must be installed in a partition in order to run online diagnostics on

that partition. If the AIX operating system is not installed, use the standalone diagnostic procedures.

Online diagnostics, when they are installed, reside with AIX in the file system. They can be booted:

v In single user mode (referred to as service mode) v To run in maintenance mode (referred to as maintenance mode) v To run concurrently with other applications (referred to as concurrent mode)

Standalone

diagnostics must be booted before they can be run. If booted, the diagnostics have no access

to the AIX error log or the AIX configuration data.

Online and Standalone Diagnostics Operating Considerations

Note: When possible, run online diagnostics in service mode. Online diagnostics perform additional

functions compared to standalone diagnostics. Running online diagnostics in service mode ensures

that the error state of the system that has been captured in NVRAM is available for your use in

analyzing the problem. The AIX error log and certain SMIT functions are only available when

diagnostics are run from the disk drive.

Consider the following items before using the diagnostics:

v Standalone diagnostics can run on systems configured for either a full (or single) system partition or a

multiple partitioned system. When running in a partitioned system, the device from which you are booting standalone diagnostics must be made available to the partition dedicated to running standalone diagnostics. This may require moving the device from the partition that currently contains the boot device (for example, the network adapter connected to the Network Installation Management (NIM) server that has a standalone diagnostic image) to the partition used to run standalone diagnostics. If you move devices, reboot both partitions. For more information, see “Standalone Diagnostic Operation” on page 35.

v When diagnostics are installed, the device support for some devices might not get installed. If this is the

case, that device does not display in the diagnostic test list when running disk-based diagnostics.

v When running diagnostics in a partitioned system, diagnostics function only with the resources that were

assigned to that partition. You must run diagnostics in the partition containing the resource that you want to test.

Identifying the Terminal Type to the Diagnostics

When you run diagnostics, you must identify which type of terminal you are using. If the terminal type is not known when the FUNCTION SELECTION menu is displayed, the diagnostics do not allow you to continue until a terminal is selected from the DEFINE TERMINAL option menu. Choose the ″vt320″ selection when running diagnostics from an HMC.

Undefined Terminal Types

If you specify an undefined terminal type from the DEFINE TERMINAL option menu, the menu prompts the user to enter a valid terminal type. The menu redisplays until either a valid type is entered or you exit the DEFINE TERMINAL option.

Resetting the Terminal

If you enter a terminal type that is valid (according to the DEFINE TERMINAL option menu) but is not the correct type for the HMC virtual terminal window being used, you may be unable to read the screen, use the function keys, or use the Enter key. Bypass these difficulties by pressing Ctrl-C to reset the terminal. The screen display that results from this reset depends on the mode in which the system is being run:

v Online Normal or Maintenance Mode - The command prompt displays. v Standalone Mode or Online Service Mode - The terminal type is reset to dumb, the Diagnostic Operating

Instruction panel displays, and you are required to go through the DEFINE TERMINAL process again.

Running Online Diagnostics

Consider the following when you run the online diagnostics from a server or a disk:

v The diagnostics cannot be loaded and run from a disk until the AIX operating system has been installed

and configured.

v The diagnostics cannot be loaded on a system (client) from a server if that system is not set up to boot

from a server over a network. When the system is set up to boot from a server, the diagnostics are run in the same manner as they are from disk.

v On full system partitions, if the diagnostics are loaded from disk or a server, you must shut down the

AIX operating system before turning off the system unit to prevent possible damage to disk data. Do this in either of the following ways:

– If the diagnostics were loaded in standalone mode, press the F3 key until DIAGNOSTIC OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS displays. Then press the F3 key once again to shut down the AIX operating system.

– If the diagnostics were loaded in maintenance or concurrent mode, type the shutdown -F command.

Under some conditions, the system might stop, with instructions displayed on attached displays and

terminals. Follow the instructions to select a console display.

Online Diagnostics Modes of Operation

Note: When running online diagnostics on a partition in a partitioned system, diagnostics can be run only

on resources that are allocated to that partition.

The online diagnostics can be run in the following modes:

v Service Mode (see “Service Mode”). Refer to “Running Online Diagnostics in Service Mode” on page 34

for instructions on how to run the diagnostics in service mode.

v Concurrent Mode (see “Concurrent Mode” on page 33). Refer to “Running the Online Diagnostics in

Concurrent Mode” on page 34 for instructions on how to run the diagnostics in service mode.

v Maintenance Mode (see “Maintenance Mode” on page 33). Refer to “Running the Online Diagnostics in

Maintenance Mode” on page 34 for instructions on how to run the diagnostics in service mode.

Service Mode

Service mode provides the most complete checkout of the system resources. This mode also requires that no other programs be running on the partition or system on a full system partition. All partitions or system on a full system partition resources, except the SCSI adapter and the disk drives used for paging, can be tested. However, note that the memory and processor are only tested during POST, and the results of the POST tests are reported by diagnostics.

32 Eserver pSeries 655 Installation Guide

Error-log analysis is done in service mode when you select the Problem Determination option on the DIAGNOSTIC MODE SELECTION menu.

Concurrent Mode

Use concurrent mode to run online diagnostics on some of the system resources while the system is running normal activity.

Because the system is running in normal operation, the following resources cannot be tested in concurrent mode:

v SCSI adapters connected to paging devices v Disk drive used for paging v Some display adapters and graphics related devices v Memory (tested during POST) v Processor (tested during POST)

The following levels of testing exist in concurrent mode:

v The share-test level tests a resource while the resource is being shared by programs running in the

normal operation. This testing is mostly limited to normal commands that test for the presence of a device or adapter.

v The sub-test level tests a portion of a resource while the remaining part of the resource is being used

in normal operation. For example, this test could test one port of a multiport device while the other ports are being used in normal operation.

v The full-test level requires the device not be assigned to or used by any other operation. This level of

testing on a disk drive might require the use of the varyoff command. The diagnostics display menus to allow you to vary off the needed resource.

Error-log

analysis is done in concurrent mode when you select the Problem Determination option on the

DIAGNOSTIC MODE SELECTION menu.

To run the online diagnostics in concurrent mode, you must be logged in to the AIX operating system and have proper authority to issue the commands (if help is needed, see the system operator).

The diag command loads the diagnostic controller and displays the online diagnostic menus.

Maintenance Mode

Maintenance mode runs the online diagnostics using the customer’s version of the AIX operating system. This mode requires that all activity on the partition running the AIX operating system be stopped so that the online diagnostics have most of the resources available to check. All of the system resources, except the SCSI adapters, memory, processor, and the disk drive used for paging, can be checked.

Error log analysis is done in maintenance mode when you select the Problem Determination option on the DIAGNOSTIC MODE SELECTION menu.

Use the shutdown -m command to stop all activity on the AIX operating system and put the AIX operating system into maintenance mode. The diag command is then used to invoke the diagnostic controller so you can run the diagnostics. After the diagnostic controller is loaded, follow the normal diagnostic instructions.

Documentation for the AIX operating system is available from the IBM Eserver pSeries Information Center at http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/index.htm. Select AIX documentation. The AIX

Documentation CD contains the base set of publications for the operating system, including

system-management and end-user documentation.

INSTRUCTIONS display, go to “Running Standalone Diagnostics from a Network Installation

Management (NIM) Server” on page 35.

11. Complete the installation by going to “Step 26. Install the Rack Doors” on page 28.

Running the Online Diagnostics in Concurrent Mode

To run online diagnostics in concurrent mode, do the following:

1. Log in to the AIX operating system as root user or use CE Login.

2. Enter the diag command.

3. When the DIAGNOSTIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS display, follow the instructions to check out the desired resources.

4. When testing is complete, use the F3 key to return to the DIAGNOSTIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. Press the F3 key again to return to the AIX operating system prompt. Be sure to vary on any resource that you had varied to off.

5. Press Ctrl-D to log off from root user or CE Login.

6. Complete the installation by going to “Step 26. Install the Rack Doors” on page 28.

Running the Online Diagnostics in Maintenance Mode

To run the online diagnostics in maintenance mode, do the following:

1. Stop all programs running on the partition except the AIX operating system (if help is needed, see the system operator).

2. Log in to the AIX operating system as root user or use CE Login.

3. Type the shutdown -m command.

4. When a message indicates the system is in maintenance mode, enter the diag command.

7. Press Ctrl-D to log off from root user or CE Login.

8. Complete the installation by going to “Step 26. Install the Rack Doors” on page 28.

Standalone Diagnostic Operation

Use standalone diagnostics to test the system when the online diagnostics are not installed and as a method of testing the disk drives that cannot be tested by the online diagnostics.

Note: No error log analysis is done by the standalone diagnostics. The standalone diagnostics:

v Are resident on a Network Installation Management (NIM) server v Provide a method to test the system when the online diagnostics are not installed or cannot be

loaded from the disk drive

v Allow testing of the disk drives and other resources that cannot be tested by the online

diagnostics

v Do not have access to the AIX configuration data v Do not have access to the AIX error log v Do not allow for running of error log analysis

Perform Slow Boot

To fully analyze all of the available information, perform the following steps before doing a hardware repair or replacement:

1. Record the 8-character error code (and location code if present) displayed as the operator panel value displayed on the HMC or that was reported by the customer.

2. Do a slow boot in service mode. This boot can be specified using the System Power Control Menu on the Service Processor Main Menu. (A fast boot skips much of the built-in diagnostic testing.) A slow boot may yield a new 8-character error code displayed as an operator panel value on the HMC and new errors in the service processor error log. If a new error code is reported, use this code to continue problem analysis. See “Running Online Diagnostics in Service Mode” on page 34.

Partitioned System Considerations for Standalone Diagnostics

To run standalone diagnostics on a full system partition, you must reboot the entire system. However, for a partition in a partitioned system, you can boot standalone diagnostics either in a given partition or on the entire system (which is the same procedure as a full system partition). For a partitioned system, before running standalone diagnostics on a given partition, the user must move the device from the existing location where standalone diagnostics is booted (the network adapter connected to the NIM server, in the case of NIM boot of standalone diagnostics), to the partition that will run standalone diagnostics. Devices in a partitioned system are moved on an I/O-slot basis.

Running Standalone Diagnostics from a Network Installation Management (NIM) Server

A client system connected to a network with a NIM server can boot standalone diagnostics from the NIM server if the client-specific settings on both the NIM server and client are correct.

Notes:

1. All operations to configure the NIM server require root user authority.

2. If you replace the network adapter in the client, the network adapter hardware address settings for the client must be updated on the NIM server.

3. The Cstate for each standalone diagnostics client on the NIM server should be kept in the diagnostic

boot has been enabled state.

4. On the client partition, the NIM server network adapter can be put in the bootlist after the boot disk drive. This allows the system to boot in standalone diagnostics from the NIM server if there is a

Chapter 3. Verifying the Hardware Operations 35

problem booting from the disk drive. Another option is to use the Select Boot Options function in the SMS menu to set up the network adapter that is connected to the NIM server for a one-time boot of standalone diagnostics.

NIM Server Configuration

Refer to the “Advanced NIM Configuration Tasks” chapter of the AIX Installation Guide and Reference, for information on doing the following:

v Registering a client on the NIM server v Enabling a client to run diagnostics from the NIM server

verify that the client system is registered on the NIM server and the diagnostic boot is enabled, run the

To command lsnim -a Cstate -Z ClientName from the command line on the NIM server. Refer to the following table for system responses.

Note: The ClientName is the name of the system on which you want to run standalone diagnostics.

The client system is registered on the NIM server and enabled to run diagnostics from the NIM server.

The client is registered on the NIM server but not enabled to run diagnostics from the NIM server.

Note: If the client system is registered on the NIM server

but Cstate has not been set, no data will be returned.

The client is not registered on the NIM server.

Client Configuration and Booting Standalone Diagnostics from the NIM Server

To run standalone diagnostics on a client from the NIM server, do the following:

1. Stop all programs including the AIX operating system (get help if needed).

2. If you are running standalone diagnostics in a full system partition, verify with the system administrator and system users that the system unit can be shut down. Stop all programs, including the AIX operating system. Refer to the AIX operating system documentation for shutdown command information.

Verify with the system administrator and system users using that partition that all applications on that partition must be stopped, and that the partition will be rebooted. Stop all programs on that partition, including the operating system.

3. If you are in a full system partition, power on the system unit to run standalone diagnostics. In a partitioned system, reboot the partition to run standalone diagnostics.

4. When the keyboard indicator is displayed (the word keyboard on an HMC virtual terminal window), press the number 1 key on the keyboard to display the SMS menu.

5. Enter any requested passwords.

6. Select Setup Remote IPL (Initial Program Load).

7. Enter the client address, server address, gateway address (if applicable), and subnet mask.

8. If the NIM server is set up to allow pinging from the client system, use the ping utility in the RIPL utility to verify that the client system can ping the NIM server. Under the ping utility, choose the network adapter that provides the attachment to the NIM server to do the ping operation. If the ping returns

36 Eserver pSeries 655 Installation Guide

with an OK prompt, the client is prepared to boot from the NIM server. If ping returns with a FAILED prompt, the client cannot proceed with the NIM boot.

Note: If the ping fails, refer to the Boot Problems section of the Eserver pSeries 655 Service Guide

and follow the steps for network boot problems.

do a one-time boot of the network adapter attached to the NIM server network, do the following:

1. Exit to the SMS Main screen.

2. Select Select Boot Options.

3. Select Install or Boot a Device.

4. On the Select Device Type screen, select Network.

5. Set the network parameters for the adapter from which you want to boot.

6. Exit completely from SMS. The system starts loading packets while doing a bootp from the network.

Follow the instructions on the screen to select the system console.

v If Diagnostics Operating Instructions Version x.x.x displays, standalone diagnostics have loaded

successfully.

v If the AIX login prompt displays, standalone diagnostics did not load. Check the following items:

– The network parameters on the client may be incorrect. – Cstate on the NIM server may be incorrect. – Network problems might be preventing you from connecting to the NIM server.

Verify the settings and the status of the network. If you continue to have problems, refer to the Boot Problems section of the Eserver pSeries 655 Service Guide, and follow the steps for network boot problems.

Chapter 4. Installation and Removal Procedures

This chapter describes how to install and remove processor subsystems, I/O subsystems, integrated battery feature (IBF), and PCI adapters. If individual subsystems were shipped separately to a customer’s site to reduce weight, use the procedures contained in this chapter to assemble the system rack with the subsystems.

The procedures in this chapter can also be used to remove subsystems in order to reduce the weight of the system so that it can be moved to the installation location at the customer’s site.

Processor Subsystem

Attention: Installing a processor subsystem requires the use of a lift tool. This procedure requires:

v The use of a lift tool (part number 09P2481) and lift-plate assembly tool (part number 11P4369). v The lift tool wheels must be chocked to prevent it from moving during the operation. The rack must not

be on its casters. The leveling pads must be engaged to prevent the rack from moving during the operation.

In the process of removing and installing processor subsystems for weight reduction, the outer

Note:

chassis (frame cage) is always left in place in the rack.

This section describes how to install and remove a processor subsystem.

Powering the System On

The Hardware Management Console is used to turn the power on to the processor subsystems through the HMC user interface. For a detailed procedure, see ″Basic System Management Tasks″, located in the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide.

Processor subsystems can be powered on after all of the following steps have been completed:

v All I/O drawer cables are connected v Base system cables are connected (cables for rack power, bulk power subsystem, integrated battery

feature)

v All PCI cables to supported subsystems are connected v The hardware management console (HMC) is connected v Source power is connected and turned on to the system

The UEPO switch must be switched to on to restore power to the entire rack after performing

Note:

certain service operations. Removing power from an individual processor subsystem with the HMC

does not remove power from other processor subsystems or from the bulk power assembly in the

system rack.

After the required cables are installed, and the power cables are connected, examine the Power-In LED of the processor subsystem DCA, and the Power-In LEDs of both DCAs of any attached I/O subsystem(s). If any of the Power-In LEDs of the DCAs are off, for the system that you are trying to power on, push the white Service Complete button on the UEPO panel. The action should restore power to the input of all DCAs, and all Power-In LEDs should turn on. The HMC interface provides a power-on function to turn on the power to the system. Progress indicators, also referred to as checkpoints, are visible on the operator panel display on the HMC as the system power is turned on.

The base system and I/O subsystems are powered on through the system power control network (SPCN). When power is applied, the Power-Out LED of the processor subsystem DCA and the Power-Out LEDs of both DCAs of any attached I/O subsystem(s) turn on and stay on. This action indicates that power levels are satisfactory in the subsystems.

If any of the Power-Out LEDs on the subsystem DCAs do not turn on, perform the Initializing a Frame’s Managed Systems and Resources task as described in ″Basic System Management Tasks″, located in theIBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide. This action allows all of the attached resources to be recognized by the power subsystem.

Powering the System Off

The HMC user interface provides a power-off function to turn off the power to individual processor subsystem. For information about shutting down and powering off a processor subsystem, see ″Basic System Management Tasks″, located in the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide.

Note: Service operations can be performed to individual processor subsystems by powering off individual

processor subsystems mounted in a rack using the HMC. If you are servicing a system and you need to remove power from the entire rack, follow all shutdown procedures and then switch off the UEPO switch.

If you are servicing an individual I/O subsystem, refer to the information about deactivating a frame’s I/O drawers, see ″Basic System Management Tasks″, located in the IBM Hardware Management Console for

pSeries Installation and Operations Guide to remove 350 V power from both of the I/O subsystem DCA

UPIC cable connections. Before deactivating, ensure that you shut down the operating system on all partitions that are using the resources of the I/O subsystem being serviced.

After deactivating the I/O subsystem, both the Power-In LED and the Power-Out LED on the front of the I/O subsystem DCAs should be off. If not, call service support.

If you are servicing an individual processor subsystem, refer to the information about deactivating a managed system’s service processor, see ″Basic System Management Tasks″, located in the IBM

Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide to remove 350 V power

from the processor subsystem DCA UPIC cable connections. Before deactivating, ensure that you shut down the operating system on all partitions that are running on the processor subsystem being serviced.

After deactivating the processor subsystem, both the Power-In LED and the Power-Out LED on the front of the processor subsystem DCA should be off. If not, do not continue. Call service support.

Attention: If the system is operating in a full system partition under AIX, typing the shutdown command

causes the system to shut down and power off. The -F option shuts down the system without warning system users. Check with the system administrator before using this command. If you cannot use this method, you can power off the system by using the HMC.

Using the HMC to power off the system without shutting down AIX can cause unpredictable results in the data files, and the next IPL will take longer to complete.

Stopping the System with an HMC Attached and AIX Installed

The HMC user interface provides a power-off function to turn off the power to the system. If the system is logically partitioned, AIX in each partition may be stopped individually to make repairs. If the system power must be turned off, all of the logical partitions must be stopped. AIX provides hot-swap procedures for adapters and devices that support hot-swap removal and installation. You do not have to shut down a partition that controls an adapter or device that supports hot-swap. Individual power components and fans can be serviced with power on for power systems equipped with redundant power and cooling.

Check the removal and installation procedures before servicing the system. If the system is operating in a full system partition under AIX, typing the shutdown command causes the system to shut down and power off. The -F flag shuts down the system without warning system users. Check with the system administrator before using this command. If you cannot use this method, you can power off the system by using the appropriate command at the HMC.

40 Eserver pSeries 655 Installation Guide

Attention: Using the HMC to power off the system can cause unpredictable results in the data files. The

next IPL will also take longer to complete if all applications in all partitions are not stopped first.

Stopping the System with an HMC Attached and Linux Installed

The HMC user interface provides a power-off function to turn off the power to the system. If the system is logically partitioned, Linux in each partition may be stopped individually to make repairs. If the system power must be turned off, all of the logical partitions must be stopped. Linux does not provide hot-swap procedures for adapter and device removal and installation. Yo u must shut down all partitions, and the system power must be turned off to service an adapter or device. Individual power components and fans can be serviced with power on for power systems equipped with redundant power and cooling.

Check the removal and installation procedures before servicing this system. If the system is operating in a full-system partition under Linux, typing the shutdown now -h command causes the system to shut down and power off. Check with the system administrator before using this command. If you cannot use this method, you can power off the system using the HMC.

Attention: Using the HMC to power off the system can cause unpredictable results in the data files. The

next IPL will also take longer to complete if all applications in all partitions are not stopped first.

Powering On the System Using the Service Processor

The system can be powered on using the System Power Control menu, which is a service processor menu that is available to the privileged user.

PCI Adapters

Note: Linux does not support hot-plugging any hot-pluggable PCI adapters or devices. A system with

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

Most PCI adapters can be removed and replaced, or installed in the system without turning off the power to the entire system. These adapters are referred to as hot-pluggable PCI adapters. Some adapters are not hot-pluggable and power must be removed from the system for adapter removal, replacement, or installation. Though some adapters are not hot-pluggable, they must still be installed in the cassette.

Note: An adapter or an adapter blank filler must be installed into the PCI adapter cassette assembly

before it is reinstalled in a system unit or an I/O drawer.

Before you remove or replace an adapter, determine if the PCI adapter you are working with is hot-pluggable. See the PCI Adapter Placement Reference, order number SA38-0538.

When assembling, inserting or removing a blindswap cassette, verify that the foam ″T-shaped″ EMC gasket strip is firmly attached to the sheet metal bezel. This includes all applications where these gaskets are used (for example, riser cards, blank fillers or any of the various cassette assemblies).

Visually inspect the top and bottom of the gasket strips insuring that they are firmly bonded to the sheet metal. Look for any of the following:

v gaskets that are starting to unwrap v gaskets lifting or peeling off of the sheet metal v gaskets protruding from the sheet metal bezel when all cassettes, fillers, or risers are plugged into the

system.

Inspect both the gasket on the cassette or filler that was removed and the gasket visible in the PCI slot.

If a bad gasket is found on a cassette, then the entire cassette must be replaced with a new cassette and gasket. If a bad gasket is found on a riser card, then the I/O Planar containing the riser card needs to be replaced.

If you are removing a PCI adapter that is:

v Not hot-pluggable, go to “Removing a Non-Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter” on page 55. v Hot-pluggable, go to “Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter” on page 56.
