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 61.
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.
viiiThinkServer TD100 and TD100x: Hardware Maintenance Manual
Guidelines for servicing electrical equipment
Observe the following guidelines when servicing electrical equipment:
v Check the area for electrical hazards such as moist floors, nongrounded power
extension cords, power surges, 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 using 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 measuring 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.

Power-on LED
When this LED is lit, it indicates that the server is turned on. When this LED
is off, it indicates that ac power is not present, or the power supply or the
LED itself has failed.
Note: If this LED is off, it does not mean that there is no electrical power in
the server. The LED might be burned out. To remove all electrical power
from the server, you must disconnect the power cords from the electrical
outlets.
Power-control button
Press this button to turn the server on and off manually.
Hard disk drive activity LED
When this LED is flashing, it indicates that a hard disk drive is in use.
System-error LED
When this amber LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred.
Chapter 1. Introduction5
An LED on the system board might also be lit to help isolate the error. See
Chapter 5, “Diagnostics,” on page 147 for additional information.
USB connectors
Connect USB devices to these connectors.
CD or DVD-eject button
Press this button to release a CD from the CD drive or a DVD from the
DVD drive.
CD or DVD drive activity LED
When this LED is lit, it indicates that the CD drive or DVD drive is in use.
Ethernet transmit/receive activity LED
This LED is on the Ethernet connector on the rear of the server. When this
LED is lit, it indicates that there is activity between the server and the
network.
Ethernet link status LED
This LED is on the Ethernet connector on the rear of the server. When this
LED is lit, it indicates that there is an active connection on the Ethernet
port.
Hot-swap hard disk drive activity LED (some models)
On some server models, each hot-swap drive has a hard disk drive activity
LED. When this green LED is flashing, it indicates that the drive is in use.
When the drive is removed, this LED also is visible on the SAS backplane,
next to the drive connector. The backplane is the printed circuit board
behind drive bays 4 through 11.
Hot-swap hard disk drive status LED (some models)
On some server models, each hot-swap hard disk drive has an amber
status LED. If this amber status LED for a drive is lit, it indicates that the
associated hard disk drive has failed.
™
If an optional ServeRAID
adapter is installed in the server and the LED
flashes slowly (one flash per second), the drive is being rebuilt. If the LED
flashes rapidly (three flashes per second), the adapter is identifying the
drive.
When the drive is removed, this LED also is visible on the SAS/SATA
backplane, below the hot-swap hard disk drive activity LED.
