Guidelines for trained service technicians

This section contains information for trained service technicians.

Inspecting for unsafe conditions

Use the information in this section to help you identify potential unsafe conditions in an IBM®product that you are working on. Each Lenovo product, as it was designed and manufactured, has required safety items to protect users and service technicians from injury. The information in this section addresses only those items. Use good judgment to identify potential unsafe conditions that might be caused by non-Lenovo alterations or attachment of non-Lenovo features or options that are not addressed in this section. If you identify an unsafe condition, you must determine how serious the hazard is and whether you must correct the problem before you work on the product.

Consider the following conditions and the safety hazards that they present: v Electrical hazards, especially primary power. Primary voltage on the frame can

cause serious or fatal electrical shock.

v Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or a bulging or leaking

capacitor.

v Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware.

To inspect the product for potential unsafe conditions, complete the following steps:

1. Make sure that the power is off and the power cord is disconnected.

2. Make sure that the exterior cover is not damaged, loose, or broken, and observe any sharp edges.

3. Check the power cord: v Make sure that the third-wire ground connector is in good condition. Use a

meter to measure third-wire ground continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external ground pin and the frame ground.

v Make sure that the power cord is the correct type, as specified in “Power

cords” on page 51.

v Make sure that the insulation is not frayed or worn.

4. Remove the cover.

5. Check for any obvious non-Lenovo alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety of any non-Lenovo alterations.

6. Check inside the server for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water or other liquid, or signs of fire or smoke damage.

7. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.

8. Make sure that the power supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been removed or tampered with.

viii ThinkServer TS100 Types 6431, 6432, 6433, and 6434: Hardware Maintenance Manual

Guidelines for servicing electrical equipment

Observe the following guidelines when you service electrical equipment: v Check the area for electrical hazards such as moist floors, nongrounded power

extension cords, and missing safety grounds.

v Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles that

are covered with a soft material that does not provide insulation from live electrical currents.

v Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational

condition. Do not use worn or broken tools or testers.

v Do not touch the reflective surface of a dental mirror to a live electrical circuit.

The surface is conductive and can cause personal injury or equipment damage if it touches a live electrical circuit.

v Some rubber floor mats contain small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic

discharge. Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock.

v Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near equipment that has

hazardous voltages.

v Locate the emergency power-off (EPO) switch, disconnecting switch, or electrical

outlet so that you can turn off the power quickly in the event of an electrical accident.

v Disconnect all power before you perform a mechanical inspection, work near

power supplies, or remove or install main units.

v Before you work on the equipment, disconnect the power cord. If you cannot

disconnect the power cord, have the customer power-off the wall box that supplies power to the equipment and lock the wall box in the off position.

v Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. Check it to

make sure that it has been disconnected.

v If you have to work on equipment that has exposed electrical circuits, observe

the following precautions: – Make sure that another person who is familiar with the power-off controls is

near you and is available to turn off the power if necessary.

– When you are working with powered-on electrical equipment, use only one

hand. Keep the other hand in your pocket or behind your back to avoid creating a complete circuit that could cause an electrical shock.

– When you use a tester, set the controls correctly and use the approved probe

leads and accessories for that tester.

– Stand on a suitable rubber mat to insulate you from grounds such as metal

floor strips and equipment frames.

v Use extreme care when you measure high voltages. v To ensure proper grounding of components such as power supplies, pumps,

blowers, fans, and motor generators, do not service these components outside of their normal operating locations.

v If an electrical accident occurs, use caution, turn off the power, and send another

person to get medical aid.

Server power features

When the server is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on, the operating system does not run, and all core logic except the service processor is shut down; however, the server can respond to requests from the service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the server. The power-on LED flashes to indicate that the server is connected to ac power but not turned on.

Turning on the server

Approximately 20 seconds after the server is connected to ac power, the power-control button becomes active, and one or more fans might start running to provide cooling while the server is connected to power. You can turn on the server and start the operating system by pressing the power-control button.

The server can also be turned on in any of the following ways: v If a power failure occurs while the server is turned on, the server will restart

automatically when power is restored.

v If your operating system supports the systems-management software for an

optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, the systems-management software can turn on the server.

v If your operating system supports the Wake on LAN feature, the Wake on LAN

feature can turn on the server.

v If an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is installed in the server, the

server can be turned on from the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine user interface.

Note: When 4 GB or more of memory (physical or logical) is installed, some memory is reserved for various system resources and is unavailable to the operating system. The amount of memory that is reserved for system resources depends on the operating system, the configuration of the server, and the configured PCI optional devices.

Turning off the server

When you turn off the server and leave it connected to ac power, the server can respond to requests from the service processor, such as a remote request to turn

on the server. While the server remains connected to ac power, one or more fans might continue to run. To remove all power from the server, you must disconnect it from the power source.

Some operating systems require an orderly shutdown before you turn off the server. See your operating-system documentation for information about shutting down the operating system.

Statement 5:

The server can be turned off in any of the following ways: v You can turn off the server from the operating system, if your operating system

supports this feature. After an orderly shutdown of the operating system, the server will be turned off automatically.

v You can press the power-control button to start an orderly shutdown of the

operating system and turn off the server, if your operating system supports this feature.

v If the operating system stops functioning, you can press and hold the

power-control button for more than 4 seconds to turn off the server.

v If an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is installed in the server, the

server can be turned off from the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine user interface.

v If the Wake on LAN feature turned on the server, the Wake on LAN feature can

turn off the server.

v The server can turn itself off as an automatic response to a critical system

failure.
