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 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:

Step 5. Affix the MCM/L3/Passthrough Plug Map to the Right Frame Extender

With the front cover open, locate the right frame extender (located on the opposite side of the unit emergency power off (UEPO) switch. The 50-mm (approximately 2 inch) wide label should be installed vertically, along this extender, approximately in line with EIA frame positions 22 - 28.

The trifold label has two hook-and-loop strips attached to the back. Remove the adhesive backing from the fastener and attach it to the frame extender as described above. A small piece of fastener is used to help keep it folded while attached to the frame.

Using the Map Label

Whenever an MCM or passthrough module is added as an MES, or replaced or reseated during a repair action, a sticker with the module’s serial number is provided for use with the map label according to its plugging location. If the serial number label is not available, record the serial number of the MCM or passthrough module when it is added, reseated, or replaced, along with the number of times plugged. This module is then allowed three plugs with each plug recorded on label. If the module must be removed and reinstalled a fourth time, it must be replaced from field spares or with an MES.

The process is similar for the L3 module, except that a separate serial number sticker is not provided. Instead, the serial number is located on a sticker attached to the L3 heatsink. Record the serial number of the L3 module when it is added, replaced, and reseated, along with the number of times plugged. If the module must be removed and reinstalled a fourth time, it must be replaced from field spares or with an MES.

addition, whenever an MCM, passthrough, or L3 module is replaced or reseated, the interposer plug

count menu, which is one of the service processor menus, must be updated. See the ″Interposer Plug Count Menu″ in the Eserver pSeries 690 Service Guide for more information.

Step 6. Observe this Safety Notice During Installation

DANGER

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 communication lines.

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

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

CAUTION: Energy hazard, remove all jewelry before servicing.

Eserver pSeries 690 Installation Guide

Step 7. Check the Cables and Connect I/O Devices

Cables may loosen during shipping. Check for loose cables before completing the installation. For cabling illustrations, see Appendix H, “Subsystem Positioning and Cabling,” on page 151. For further details on the cable descriptions and labels, see Appendix J, “Cabling Information,” on page 181. For High Performance Switch (HPS) cable and tailgate installation, see Appendix I, “p690 Cable Installation and Management,” on page 175.

Connect any externally attached I/O devices to the I/O subsystems at this time using the following procedures:

Connect the keyboard cable to the Keyboard/Mouse Attachment Card (adapter type N-D).

Note:

Use any one of the four ports on the adapter; however, the adapter can support only one

connection at a time. Connect the mouse cable to the USB port on the upper corner of the rear of the keyboard. Attach the display cable to either one of the two ports located on the graphics adapter. Check all blind swap cassettes for broken latches by lightly pushing down on the rear of the handles.

Replace any broken latches. Check to ensure adapters are seated by pushing down on the small metal tab on top of the adapter.

placement of the graphics adapters and keyboard adapters is described in the PCI Adapter Placement

The Reference.

Step 8. 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 primary frame (A Frame) of each pSeries 690. When the switch is tripped, utility power is confined to the machine power compartment. All volatile data will be lost.

Computer Room Emergency Power Off (EPO)

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

batteries will engage and the computer will continue to run. It is possible to attach the computer room EPO system to the machine UEPO. When this is done, tripping the room EPO will disconnect all power from the power cords and the IBF backup unit. In this event, all volatile data will be lost.

Chapter 2. Installing the pSeries 690

Step 9. Check the Outlets and the Power Source

CAUTION:

not touch the receptacle or the receptacle faceplate with anything other than your test probes

before you have met the requirements in below.

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

This system is equipped to use 200-240 V / 380-415 V / 480 V ac, single-phase or three-phase. 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.

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

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.

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

Note:

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

makes good electrical contact with the metal.

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.

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

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

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

CAUTION:

the reading is other than infinity, do not proceed! Have the customer make necessary wiring corrections before continuing. Do not turn on the branch circuit CB until all the above steps are satisfactorily completed.

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

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

grounded pin, the receptacle is safe to touch.

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

Note:

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

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 4. Capacity Upgrade on Demand Features

This chapter is intended for system administrators to use as a reference if the system has any Capacity Upgrade on Demand features. Read this chapter for more information about those features, including how

activate or deactivate them.

Capacity Upgrade on Demand

The Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD) features available on your system allow the system to be manufactured with additional capacity, such as processors and memory. The hardware is delivered with these features built in, ready to be activated when you need them. If your system is ordered with a CUoD feature, you can activate the feature and pay for the increased processing power as your needs grow.

CUoD features enable you to start small, and then increase your processing capacity without disrupting any of your current operations.

After your system with the ordered CUoD features is delivered, you can activate those features in the following ways:

Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD) for processors Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD) for memory On/Off Capacity on Demand - for processors Trial Capacity on Demand - for processors or memory

These

choices allow you to try CUoD features for a period of time or to permanently activate features that you decide you need. On/Off Capacity on Demand allows you to use additional capacity when you need it, and then to turn it off.

Processor CUoD

When you activate processor CUoD, additional processors are permanently activated and usable on your system. Processor CUoD enables you to handle business peaks or add new workloads without having to reboot the server.

For further information about activating processor CUoD on your system, refer to “Activation Process for CUoD Features” on page 38, or refer to the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide, order number SA38-0590, that was delivered with your hardware management console.

Memory CUoD

When you activate memory CUoD, it is permanently activated and usable on your system. Memory CUoD enables you to handle business peaks or add new workloads without having to reboot the server.

For further information about activating memory CUoD on your system, refer to “Activation Process for CUoD Features” on page 38, or refer to the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation

and Operations Guide that was delivered with your hardware management console.

On/Off Capacity on Demand

On/Off Capacity on Demand allows you to use extra processor resources that are available on your system. On/Off Capacity on Demand is ordered ahead of time so that the capacity is available on the system when it is needed. When you have finished using the extra capacity, you can turn it off and save the remaining time until the resource is needed again. You use an activation code to order the amount of usage time. Turning the processors on and off is performed from the HMC interface.

For further information about activating and deactivating On/Off Capacity on Demand on your system, refer

“Activation Process for CUoD Features” on page 38, or refer to the IBM Hardware Management

Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide that was delivered with your hardware management

console.

Trial Capacity on Demand

Trial Capacity on Demand enables CUoD features to be activated one time for a period of 30 consecutive days. If your system was ordered with CUoD features and they have not yet been activated, you can turn the features on for a one-time trial period. With the trial capability, you can gauge how much capacity you might need in the future, if you decide to permanently activate the resources you need.

Alternatively, the Trial Capacity on Demand function can be used to immediately activate resources while processing an order for a permanent activation code.

For further information about using Trial Capacity on Demand, refer to “Activation Process for CUoD Features” on page 38, or refer to the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and

Operations Guide that was delivered with your hardware management console.

Capacity Planning

you are doing capacity planning for models with CUoD features, plan ahead for any potentially disruptive actions that might inhibit your using fully the capacity of the system. Some actions you may want to take prior to activating any CUoD features are as follows:

Perform any I/O updates, such as adding adapters necessary to increase system capacity Perform memory upgrades (CUoD) or standard memory features Prepare logical partitions

By planning ahead, you can accommodate the growth of existing workloads, as well as handle new workloads without requiring a server outage. Each component of a server affects performance and overall throughput of workloads. By planning ahead and taking into account the complete server configuration, you can help ensure that you get the full benefit of CUoD activations.

Note: If you have questions about capacity-planning topics not covered here, contact your sales

representative for assistance.

Processor CUoD Ordering

Permanent CUoD capacity can be activated in either one of the following scenarios. The description of each scenario indicates if and when it is necessary to send vital product data (VPD) to IBM.

New system order (new footprint): An order can contain a number of CUoD-activation features. The

manufacturing facility fills orders directly at the plant of manufacture, before the server is delivered to the customer.

Ordering activation features for an installed server: After you have determined that you want to

permanently activate some or all of your CUoD features, contact your business partner or sales representative to place an order.

When the order record and the VPD are both available to the manufacturing facility, a processor CUoD activation code unique to your server is generated. The activation code is mailed to you and posted at http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/pseries/cuod/index.html.

part of the order process, VPD collected from the installed server is combined with information from the order records for CUoD activation features. This combined information is used to generate a CUoD activation code specifically for your server, enabling the activation of the appropriate features. Allow some time for the order processing and posting of the processor on demand activation code to take place. Then use the code to activate the processor on demand features directly on your server.

you need to activate resources immediately, you can activate features using the Trial Capacity on Demand function. This allows you to use the resources immediately while the permanent activation code is being processed.

Eserver pSeries 690 Installation Guide

CUoD activation features will not be fulfilled until you submit the VPD through the Electronic Service Agent or manually to http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/pseries/cuod/index.html.

When you enter a CUoD activation code, standby processors or memory will immediately become activated for use. If your operating system is enabled for dynamic logical partitioning operations, the resource status changes from standby to active. The resources then can be dynamically moved to the partition where they are needed.

CUoD activation feature is ordered and then canceled, an action by the service representative is

If required to cancel the order. After the activation code is posted on the Web or mailed, the order for CUoD activation features is considered fulfilled, and the billing process is started.

Electronic Service Agent and Capacity Upgrade on Demand

When Electronic Service Agent is used to electronically report VPD on a regular basis, you can eliminate potential delays in the order process for CUoD activation features (no manual reporting of VPD is necessary prior to the fulfillment of a feature upgrade order). To optimize Electronic Service Agent and to

prepared to activate CUoD features conveniently, make sure that Electronic Service Agent and related communications equipment are up and running. If this is done before the CUoD activation features are ordered, the VPD for the system will already be up to date, and the manual process of updating the VPD

not needed.

After Electronic Service Agent is installed, follow the procedures under “Activation Process for CUoD Features” on page 38 to enable the system to collect and transfer the required VPD for CUoD.

Dynamic Processor Sparing

environments with CUoD, dynamic processor sparing allows inactive processors to act as dynamic spares. An inactive processor is activated if a failing processor reaches a predetermined error threshold, thus helping to maintain performance and improve system availability. Starting with AIX 5.2, this capability

offered on pSeries servers with CUoD to help minimize the impact to server performance caused by a failed processor. Dynamic sparing will happen dynamically and automatically when using dynamic logical partitioning (DLPAR) and the failing processor is detected prior to failure. If not detected prior to failure or not using DLPAR, a reboot of the system activates an alternate processor from the inactive spares. The user can then re-establish required performance levels without waiting for parts to arrive on-site. Dynamic processor sparing does not require the purchase of an activation code; it requires only that the system have inactive CUoD processors available.

Software Licenses and Processor CUoD

Activating a processor may change the terms and conditions for applications that you use on your server.

determine if the license terms and conditions requirements change based on hardware configuration,

consult the application documentation.

Activation Process for CUoD Features

The process begins when you determine a potential need for more processing capability in the future and want to have the hardware installed on the server now. If CUoD features are ordered for your server, they are included in the server when it is delivered. To activate additional capacity when it is needed, use the following steps:

Determine the additional capacity that you want to activate. Contact your sales representative or business partner to place an order for specific processor CUoD

activation features. The sales representative places an order to the system coordinator or feature coordinator for the

features you request. The order specifies the upgrade features to add.

After

this in LPAR mode, shut down the partition using the operating system, alter the partition profile on the HMC, then reactivate the partition using the HMC. If the managed system is running a full system partition, you must reboot the managed system before the newly activated processors can be used.

Before adding processors to a partition that is running Linux, you must stop the Linux partitions and then restart them after you have assigned the processors.

Begin using the new capacity. If you encountered any problems using the preceding process, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/pseries/cuod/index.html.

Chapter 5. Installing Options

This chapter describes how to install and remove PCI adapters and PCI adapter cassettes.

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

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:

gaskets that are starting to unwrap

gaskets lifting or peeling off of the sheet metal

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.

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.

you are removing a PCI adapter that is:

Not hot-pluggable, go to “Removing a Non-Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter” on page 45. Hot-pluggable, go to “Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter” on page 46.

Removing a PCI Adapter Cassette

Attention: Perform this procedure only when you are instructed to by the removal and replacement

procedures in “Removing a Non-Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter” on page 45 or “Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter”

page 46.

Note:

adapter or a blank filler must be installed into the PCI adapter cassette before it is reinstalled in

processor subsystem or an I/O subsystem.
