Safety inspection guide
The purpose of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potentially unsafe conditions. As each
machine was designed and built, required safety items were installed to protect users and service
technicians from injury. This guide addresses only those items. You should use good judgment to identify
potential safety hazards due to attachment of non-ThinkServer features or options not covered by this
inspection guide.
If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine how serious the apparent hazard could be and
whether you can continue without first correcting the problem.
Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they present:
• Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal
electrical shock)
• Explosive hazards, such as a damaged Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitor or a bulging capacitor
• Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware
To determine whether there are any potentially unsafe conditions, use the following checklist at the
beginning of every service task. Begin the checks with the power off, and the power cords disconnected.
Checklist:
1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or sharp edges).
2. Power off the server. Disconnect the power cords.
3. Check the power cord for:
a. A third-wire ground connector 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.
b. The power cord should be the authorized type specified for your server. Go to:
http://www.lenovo.com/serviceparts-lookup
c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.
4. Check for cracked or bulging batteries.
5. Remove the cover.
6. Check for any obvious non-ThinkServer alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety of any nonThinkServer alterations.
7. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water or
other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.
8. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
9. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been removed or tampered
with.
Grounding requirements
Electrical grounding of the server is required for operator safety and correct system function. Proper
grounding of the electrical outlet can be verified by a certified electrician.

Chapter 2. Server setup road map
This chapter provides a general road map to guide you through setting up your server.
The server setup procedure varies depending on the configuration of the server when it was delivered. In
some cases, the server is fully configured and you just need to connect the server to the network and an ac
power source, and then you can turn on the server. In other cases, the server needs to have hardware
devices installed, requires hardware and firmware configuration, and requires an operating system to be
installed.
Server setup procedure
The following list is a general procedure for setting up your server:
1. Unpack the server package. See “In the box” on page 7.
2. Install any required hardware or server options. See the related topics in Chapter 5 “Replacing
hardware” on page 39.
3. Connect the Ethernet cables and power cords to the server. See “Rear view of the server” on page 12 to
locate the connectors.
4. Turn on the server to verify operation. See “Turning on the server” on page 5.
5. Review the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) settings and customize as needed. See “Using the Setup
Utility program” on page 25.
6. Configure RAID and install the operating system and device drivers. See “Using the ThinkServer
EasyStartup program” on page 31 and “Configuring RAID” on page 33.
