Rack Safety Instructions

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

vii

Electrical Safety

Observe the following safety instructions any time you are connecting or disconnecting devices attached to the system.

Adjust each rear mounting bracket (by loosening the screws) so that the inside distance between the two ends is equal to the outside dimension of the rack rails.

DANGER

An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on 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.

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.

D06

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

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.

Preface

Eserver pSeries 690 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.

Multiple System Configurations

The system configuration may vary. Other configurations include the following:

Multiple pSeries 690 servers attached to one HMC. For more information on this configuration, see Appendix E, “Attaching Multiple pSeries 690s to One Hardware Management Console,” on page 131.

Multiple HMCs attached to one pSeries 690.

Prerequisites to Installing the pSeries 690

Before installing the pSeries 690, ensure that the following have been completed:

Doors have been ordered. The pSeries 690 has the following types of doors:

Primary Rack Front Door (Universal) Secondary Rack Front Door (Universal) Primary/SecondaryRack Rear Door (Slimline) Primary/Secondary Rack Rear Door (Acoustical)

Planning procedures outlined in Site and Hardware Planning Information, order number SA38-0508, are

complete.

Weight Reduction

Certain system configurations may include a primary rack that weighs in excess of 2500 pounds (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 2500 pounds, service personnel must remove all (up to six) Bulk Power Regulators (BPRs) installed in the system. For instructions on removing the BPRs, see step 3 on page 194.

Racks affected by this weight limitation are those in which the primary 7040 Model 61R frame with a 7040 Model 681 Processor Subsystem has three (or more) 7040 Model 61D I/O Subsystem and four (or more) IBFs. This weight reduction is only required for these systems when the installation process requires the primary rack to be reduced temporarily to less than 2500 pounds.

Note:

Systems ordered with the height reduction feature do not require this weight reduction.

Before You Begin

ensure that all of the installation steps are complete, the installer should use the following installation

checklist during the installation process:

“Complete the Installation Checklist” on page 26

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 to continue with this procedure.
