Safety NoticesA danger notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causingdeath or serious personal injury. Danger notices appear on the following pages:v xiiA caution notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causingmoderate or minor personal injury. Caution notices appear on the following pages:v xiiv xiiiv 19Note: For a translation of these notices, see System Unit Safety Information, ordernumber SA23-2652.Rack Safety Instructionsv Do not install this unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures willexceed 40 degrees C.v Do not install this unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Any side, front orback of the unit used for air flow through the unit must not be in direct contact withthe rack.v Care should be taken to ensure that a hazardous condition is not created due touneven mechanical loading when installing this unit in a rack. If the rack has astabilizer it must be firmly attached before installing or removing this unit.v Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supplycircuit so that overloading of circuits does not compromise the supply wiring orovercurrent protection. To provide the correct power connection to the rack, refer tothe rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to determine the total powerrequirement for the supply circuit.v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on themetal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is theresponsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired andgrounded to prevent an electrical shock.xi
Electrical SafetyObserve the following safety instructions any time you are connecting or disconnectingdevices attached to the workstation.DANGERAn electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltageon metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is theresponsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired andgrounded to prevent an electrical shock.Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables forthe system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system,ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before thesignal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from theexisting system before you add a device.Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables toprevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electricalpotentials.During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers,telephones, or station protectors for communications lines.CAUTION:This product is equipped with a three–wire power cable and plug for the user’ssafety. Use this power cable with a properly grounded electrical outlet to avoidelectrical shock.DANGERTo prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect all power cables from theelectrical outlet before relocating the system.xiiUser’s Guide
Laser Safety InformationCAUTION:This product may contain a CD-ROM which is a class 1 laser product.Laser ComplianceAll lasers are certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFRSubchapter J for class 1 laser products. Outside the U.S., they are certified to be incompliance with the IEC 825 (first edition 1984) as a class 1 laser product. Consult thelabel 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 tolaser radiation above a class 1 level during normal operation, user maintenance,or prescribed service conditions. Data processing environments can containequipment transmitting on system links with laser modules that operate atgreater than class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end of anoptical fiber cable or open receptacle. Only trained service personnel shouldperform the inspection or repair of optical fiber cable assemblies and receptacles.Safety Noticesxiii

Data Integrity and VerificationIBM computer systems contain mechanisms designed to reduce the possibility ofundetected data corruption or loss. This risk, however, cannot be eliminated. Users whoexperience unplanned outages, system failures, power fluctuations or outages, orcomponent failures must verify the accuracy of operations performed and data saved ortransmitted by the system at or near the time of the outage or failure. In addition, usersmust establish procedures to ensure that there is independent data verification beforerelying on such data in sensitive or critical operations. Users should periodically checkthe IBM support websites for updated information and fixes applicable to the system andrelated software.xv

Chapter 2. Using the SystemThis chapter provides information on how to start and use the system.Starting the System Unit1. Set the power switches of the attached devices to On.Note: When the system is plugged in but not powered on, the Power-On LEDflashes slowly.2. If the LED is not flashing and OK is not displayed, ensure that the power cord,located at the back of the system unit, is plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.3. If this does not solve the problem, go to Chapter 8, “Hardware ProblemDetermination” on page 147.4. Press the Power-On switch.When you press the Power-On switch, the Power-On LED comes on, and thesystem starts a POST (power-on self-test).During POST, progress codes display in the operator panel display.5. If the Power-On LED does not come on and there is no indication of power whenyou press the Power-On switch, go to Chapter 8, “Hardware Problem Determination”on page 147.Stopping the System UnitAttention: When you use the shutdown procedure for your system, follow the correctshutdown procedure before you stop the system. Failure to do so can resultin the loss of data. The system is powered down by the shutdownprocedure.1. At a command line, type shutdown to stop the operating system.2. After you shut down the operating system, set the power switches of any attacheddevices to Off.3. If you will be servicing the system, unplug the system-unit power cable from theelectrical outlet.Reading the Operator Panel DisplayThe operator panel display is used to:v Track the progress of the system unit self-tests and configuration programv Display codes when the operating system comes to a
