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

already installed and available for the system being installed).

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.

The switch actuator located at the bottom of the UEPO must be switched to the ″active″ position. After the switch actuator is moved to ″active″ and makes the cable connection possible, the room EPO cable must be installed for the machine to power on.

The following illustration shows the AMP connector (part number 770019-1) needed to connect to the system UEPO panel. For room EPO cables using wire sizes #20 AWG to #24 AWG, use AMP pins (part number 770010-4).

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.
