Safety

Before installing this product, read the Safety Information.

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 IBM 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-IBM alterations or attachment of non-IBM 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:

- Electrical hazards, especially primary power. Primary voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal electrical shock.

•Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or a bulging or leaking capacitor.

- 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:

- 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.

- Make sure that the power cord is the correct type, as specified in "Power cords" on page 159.

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

  1. Remove the cover.

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

  3. 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.

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

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

Guidelines for servicing electrical equipment

Observe the following guidelines when you service electrical equipment:

- Check the area for electrical hazards such as moist floors, nongrounded power extension cords, and missing safety grounds.

- 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.

- Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition. Do not use worn or broken tools or testers.

- 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.

- 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.

- Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near equipment that has hazardous voltages.

- 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.

- Disconnect all power before you perform a mechanical inspection, work near power supplies, or remove or install main units.

- 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.

- Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. Check it to make sure that it has been disconnected.

- 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.

- Use extreme care when you measure high voltages.

•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.

- If an electrical accident occurs, use caution, turn off the power, and send another person to get medical aid.

Be sure to separately install any listed critical updates that have release dates that are later than the release date of the UpdateXpressSystem Pack or UpdateXpressimage (see step 4b)

b. Install manual system updates.

1) Determine the existing code levels.

In DSA, click Firmware/VPD to view system firmware levels, or click Software to view operating-system levels.

2) Download and install updates of code that is not at the latest level. To display a list of available updates for the blade server, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/.

When you click an update, an information page is displayed, including a list of the problems that the update fixes. Review this list for your specific problem; however, even if your problem is not listed, installing the update might solve the problem.

5. Check for and correct an incorrect configuration.

If the server is incorrectly configured, a system function can fail to work when you enable it; if you make an incorrect change to the server configuration, a system function that has been enabled can stop working.

a. Make sure that all installed hardware and software are supported.

See http://www.ibm.com/systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/ to verify that the server supports the installed operating system, optional devices, and software levels. If any hardware or software component is not supported, uninstall it to determine whether it is causing the problem. You must remove nonsupported hardware before you contact IBM or an approved warranty service provider for support.

b. Make sure that the server, operating system, and software are installed and configured correctly.

Many configuration problems are caused by loose power or signal cables or incorrectly seated adapters. You might be able to solve the problem by turning off the server, reconnecting cables, reseating adapters, and turning the server back on. For information about performing the checkout procedure, see "Checkout procedure" on page 80. For information about configuring the server, see "Configuring the server" on page 268.

6. See controller and management software documentation.

If the problem is associated with a specific function (for example, if a RAID hard disk drive is marked offline in the RAID array), see the documentation for the associated controller and management or controlling software to verify that the controller is correctly configured.

Problem determination information is available for many devices such as RAID and network adapters.

For problems with operating systems or IBM software or devices, go to http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/.

7. Check for troubleshooting procedures and RETAIN tips.

Troubleshooting procedures and RETAIN tips document known problems and suggested solutions. To search for troubleshooting procedures and RETAIN tips, go to http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/.

8. Use the troubleshooting tables.

See “Troubleshooting tables” on page 82 to find a solution to a problem that has identifiable symptoms.

A single problem might cause multiple symptoms. Follow the troubleshooting procedure for the most obvious symptom. If that procedure does not diagnose the problem, use the procedure for another symptom, if possible.

If the problem remains, contact IBM or an approved warranty service provider for assistance with additional problem determination and possible hardware replacement. To open an online service request, go to the http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/Open_service_request/call for service. Be prepared to provide information about any error codes and collected data.

Undocumented problems

If you have completed the diagnostic procedure and the problem remains, the problem might not have been previously identified by IBM. After you have verified that all code is at the latest level, all hardware and software configurations are valid, and no light path diagnostics LEDs or log entries indicate a hardware component failure, contact IBM or an approved warranty service provider for assistance. To open an online service request, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/Open_service_request/. Be prepared to provide information about any error codes and collected data and the problem determination procedures that you have used.

This LED is on the Ethernet connector. When this LED is flashing, it indicates that there is activity between the server and the network.

This LED is on the Ethernet connector. When this LED is lit, it indicates that there is an active connection on the Ethernet port.

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 for the integrated management module II (IMM2) is shutdown; however, the server can respond to requests from IMM2, 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 is not turned on.

Turning on the server

Note: Approximately 1 to 3 minutes after the server is connected to ac power, the power-control button becomes active after the power-on LED flashes slowly.

The server can also be turned on in any of the following ways:

- If a power failure occurs while the server is turned on, the server will restart automatically when power is restored.

- If your operating system supports the Wake on LAN feature, the Wake on LAN feature can turn on the server.

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 peripheral component interconnect (PCI) options.

Turning off the server

When you turn off the server and leave it connected to ac power, the server can respond to requests from IMM2, 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:

LENOVO System x3100 M4 - Statement 5: - 1

CAUTION:

The power control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power cord.

JP2 BIOS boot backup (bootblock jumper)•Pins 1 and 2: Boot from primary BIOS page (default).•Pins 2 and 3: Boot from backup BIOS page.
JP8 ME recovery jumper•Pins 1 and 2: Normal (default).•Pins 2 and 3: Activate ME recovery.
JP9 ME flash override jumper•Pins 1 and 2: Normal (default).•Pins 2 and 3: Override ME flash.
JP10 TPM physical presencejumper•Pins 1 and 2: Normal (default).•Pins 2 and 3: Pull down TPM.
JP11 TPM initialization jumper•Pins 1 and 2: Normal (default).•Pins 2 and 3: Initiate TPM.

JP22 Low security_N jumper•Pins 1 and 2: Normal (default).•Pins 2 and 3: Activate low security.
Notes:1. If no jumper is present, the server responds as default.2. Changing the position of the boot block jumper from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and 3 for 5 seconds before the server is turned on alters which flash ROM page is loaded. Do not change the jumper pin position after the server is turned on. This can cause an unpredictable problem.3. If a message is shown indicating that your Trusted Platform Module's (TPM) physical presence is asserted, it is an indication that the system is vulnerable to potential security risks. This occurs when the jumper setting of JP11 is at Pins 2 and 3. Switching the jumper setting to Pins 1 and 2 of JP11 will deassert the Trusted Platform Module's (TPM) physical presence.

Important:

  1. Before you change any switch settings or move any jumpers, turn off the server; then, disconnect all power cords and external cables. Review the information in

vii. "Installation guidelines" on page 163, [Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 165, and Turning off the server" on page 16.

  1. Any system-board switch or jumper blocks that are not shown in the illustrations in this document are reserved.

The power-on self-test (POST) generates messages to indicate successful test completion or the detection of a problem. See “POST” on page 26, “Event logs” on page 24, and “POST error codes” on page 26 for more information.

•Troubleshooting tables

These tables list problem symptoms and actions to correct the problems. See "Troubleshooting tables" on page 82 for more information.

•Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot diagnostic programs

The DSA Preboot diagnostic programs provide problem isolation, configuration analysis, and error log collection. The diagnostic programs are the primary method of testing the major components of the server and are stored in integrated USB memory. The diagnostic programs collect the following information about the server:

– System configuration
– Network interfaces and settings
- Installed hardware
– Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI configuration
- Integrated management module II (IMM2) status and configuration
– Hard disk drive health
- RAID adapter configuration
- Controller and IMM2 event logs, including the following information:
- System error logs
- Temperature, voltage, and fan speed information
- Self-monitoring Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART) data
- Machine check registers
- USB information
- Monitor configuration information
- PCI slot information

The diagnostic programs create a merged log that includes events from all collected logs. The information is collected into an XML file that you can send to IBM service and support. Additionally, you can view the server information locally through a generated text report file. You can also copy the outputs (xml.gz, txt, html) to removable media and view the html from a web browser. See “Running the diagnostic programs” on page 94 and “Diagnostic messages” on page 95 for more information.

•Server LEDs

Use the LEDs on the server to diagnose system errors quickly. See "Server controls, LEDs, and power" on page 11 for more information.

•IBM Electronic Service Agent

IBM Electronic Service Agent is a software tool that monitors the server for hardware error events and automatically submits electronic service requests to IBM service and support. In addition, it can collect and transmit system configuration information on a scheduled basis so that the information is available to you and your support representative. It uses minimal system resources, and is available free of charge. For more information and to download IBM Electronic Service Agent, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/Open_service_request/

Event logs

Error codes and messages are displayed in the following types of event logs:

  • POST event log: This log contains the three most recent error codes and messages that were generated during POST. You can view the POST event log through the Setup utility.
  • System-event log: This log contains messages that were generated during POST and all system status messages from IMM2. You can view the contents of the system-event log from the Setup utility for more information.

The system-event log is limited in size. When it is full, new entries will not overwrite existing entries; therefore, you must periodically clear the system-event log through the Setup utility. When you are troubleshooting, you might have to clear the system-event log to make the most recent events available for analysis.

Each system-event log entry is displayed on its own page. Messages are listed on the left side of the screen, and details about the selected message is displayed on the right side of the screen. To move from one entry to the next, use the Up Arrow ( ) and Down Arrow ( ) keys.

The system-event log indicates an assertion event when an event has occurred. It indicates a de-assertion event when the event is no longer occurring.

  • Integrated management module II (IMM2) event log: This log contains a filtered subset of all IMM2, POST, and system management interrupt (SMI) events. You can view the IMM2 event log through the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) program (as the ASM event log).
  • DSA log: This log is generated by the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) program, and it is a chronologically ordered merge of the system-event log (as the IPMI event log), the IMM2 chassis-event log (as the ASM event log), and the operating-system event logs. You can view the DSA log through the DSA program.

Viewing event logs through the Setup utility

To view the POST event log or system-event log, complete the following steps.

  1. Turn on the server.
  2. When the prompt Setup is displayed, press F1. If you have set both a power-on password and an administrator password, you must type the administrator password to view the event logs.
  3. Select System Event Logs and use one of the following procedures:

  4. To view the POST event log, select POST Event Viewer.
    •To view the IMM2 event log, select System Event Log.

Viewing event logs without restarting the server

When the server is not hung and the IMM2 is connected to a network, methods are available for you to view one or more event logs without having to restart the server.

If you have installed Portable Dynamic System Analysis (DSA), you can use it to view the system-event log (as the IPMI event log), the IMM2 event log (as the ASM event log), the operating-system event logs, or the merged DSA log. You can also use DSA Preboot to view these logs, although you must restart the server to use DSA Preboot. To install Portable DSA, DSA Preboot, or to download a DSA Preboot CD image, go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?Indocid=SERV-DSA&brandind=5000008.

If IPMItool is installed in the server, you can use it to view the system-event log. Most recent versions of the Linux operating system come with a current version of IPMItool. For information about IPMItool, see http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/blueprints/or complete the following steps.

Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM website. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document.

  1. Go to http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/toolsctr/v1r0/index.jsp.
  2. In the navigation pane, click IBM System x and BladeCenter Tools Center.
  3. Expand Tools reference, expand Configuration tools, expand IPMI tools, and click IPMItool.

For an overview of IPMI, go to http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/index.jsp?topic=/liaai/ipmi/liaaiipmi.htm or complete the following steps.

  1. Go to http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/index.jsp.
  2. In the navigation pane, click IBM Systems Information Center.
  3. Expand Operating systems, expand Linux information, expand Blueprints for Linux on IBM systems, and click Using Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) on IBM Linux platforms.

The following table describes the methods that you can use to view the event logs, depending on the condition of the server. The first two conditions generally do not require that you restart the server.

For more information, see Viewing event logs without restarting the server” on page 24.

Clearing the event logs

To clear the event logs, complete the following steps.

Note: The POST event log is automatically cleared each time the server is restarted.

  1. Turn on the server.
  2. When the prompt Setup is displayed, press F1. If you have set both a power-on password and an administrator password, you must type the administrator password to view the error logs.

  3. Use one of the following procedures:

- To clear the IMM2 system-event log, select System Event Logs --> System Event Log. Select Clear System Event Log; then, press Enter twice.

POST

When you turn on the server, it performs a series of tests to check the operation of the server components and some optional devices in the server. This series of tests is called the power-on self-test, or POST.

Note: This server does not use beep codes for server status.

If the system-board tray is configured to require entry of a password to complete the system startup, you need to type both the administrator password and power-on password to complete the system startup, if either password is set.

If POST detects a problem, an error message is displayed. See "POST error codes" for more information.

POST error codes

The following table describes the POST error codes and suggested actions to correct the detected problems. These errors can appear as severe, warning, or informational.

Follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in the Action column until the problem is solved.See Chapter 4, “Parts listing, System x3100 M4 Type 2582,” on page 151 to determine which components are customer replaceable units (CRU) and which components are field replaceable units (FRU).If an action step is preceded by “(Trained service technician only),” that step must be performed only by a trained service technician.Go to the IBM support website at http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/ to check for technical information, hints, tips, and new device drivers or to submit a request for information.

System-event log

The system-event log contains messages of three types:

Information

Information messages do not require action; they record significant system-level events, such as when the server is started.

Warning

Warning messages do not require immediate action; they indicate possible problems, such as when the recommended maximum ambient temperature is exceeded.

Error Error messages might require action; they indicate system errors, such as when a fan is not detected.

Each message contains date and time information, and it indicates the source of the message (POST or the IMM2).

Checkout procedure

This section contains a checkout procedure that you should follow to solve hardware problems in the server.

About the checkout procedure

Before you perform the checkout procedure for diagnosing hardware problems, review the following information:

- Read the safety information that begins on page vii.

•The diagnostic programs provide the primary methods of testing the major components of the server, such as the I/O board, Ethernet controller, keyboard, mouse (pointing device), serial ports, and hard disk drives. You can also use them to test some external devices. If you are not sure whether a problem is caused by the hardware or by the software, you can use the diagnostic programs to confirm that the hardware is working correctly.

- When you run the diagnostic programs, a single problem might cause more than one error message. When this happens, correct the cause of the first error message. The other error messages usually will not occur the next time you run the diagnostic programs.

Exception: If multiple error codes or light path diagnostics LEDs indicate a microprocessor error, the error might be in a microprocessor or in a microprocessor socket. See "Microprocessor problems" on page 86 for information about diagnosing microprocessor problems.

- Before you run the diagnostic programs, you must determine whether the failing server is part of a shared hard disk drive cluster (two or more servers that share external storage devices). If it is part of a cluster, you can run all diagnostic programs except the ones that test the storage unit (that is, a hard disk drive in the storage unit) or the storage adapter that is attached to the storage unit. The failing server might be part of a cluster if any of the following conditions is true:

  • You have identified the failing server as part of a cluster (two or more servers that share external storage devices).
  • One or more external storage units are attached to the failing server and at least one of the attached storage units is also attached to another server or unidentifiable device.
    – One or more servers are located near the failing server.

Important: If the server is part of a shared hard disk drive cluster, run one test at a time. Do not run any suite of tests, such as "quick" or "normal" tests, because this might enable the hard disk drive diagnostic tests.

- If the server is halted and a POST error code is displayed, see "Event logs" on page 24. If the server is halted and no error message is displayed, see "System-board switches and jumpers" on page 19 and "Solving undetermined problems" on page 147.

- For information about power-supply problems, see "Solving power problems" on page 145.

- For intermittent problems, check the error log; see "Event logs" on page 24 and "Diagnostic messages" on page 95.

Performing the checkout procedure

To perform the checkout procedure, complete the following steps.

  1. Is the server part of a cluster?

•No: Go to step 2.

- Yes: Shut down all failing servers that are related to the cluster. Go to step 2.

  1. Complete the following steps.

a. Turn off the server and all external devices.

b. Check all cables and power cords.

c. Set all display controls to the middle positions.

d. Turn on all external devices.

e. Turn on the server. If the server does not start, see "Troubleshooting tables" on page 82.

f. Check the system-error LED on the control panel. If it is lit, check the LEDs on the system board (see "System-board LEDs" on page 18)

g. Check for the following results:

- Successful completion of POST, which is indicated by a single beep

- Successful completion of startup, which is indicated by a readable display of the operating-system desktop

  1. Did a single beep sound and are there readable instructions on the main menu, or was a POST error code displayed?

- Yes: Find the "POST error codes" on page 26; if necessary, see "Solving undetermined problems" on page 147.

- No: Find the failure symptom in “Troubleshooting tables” on page 82; if necessary, run the diagnostic programs (see “Running the diagnostic programs” on page 94).

- If you receive an error, see "Diagnostic messages" on page 95.

- If the diagnostic programs were completed successfully and you still suspect a problem, see "Solving undetermined problems" on page 147.

Troubleshooting tables

Use the troubleshooting tables to find solutions to problems that have identifiable symptoms.

If you cannot find the problem in these tables, see “Running the diagnostic programs” on page 94 for information about testing the server.

If you have just added new software or a new optional device and the server is not working, complete the following steps before using the troubleshooting tables:

  1. Check the LEDs on the control panel or the system board (see "System-board LEDs" on page 18).
  2. Remove the software or device that you just added.
  3. Run the diagnostic tests to determine whether the server is running correctly.
  4. Reinstall the new software or new device.

Diagnostic programs and messages

The diagnostic programs are the primary method of testing the major components of the server. As you run the diagnostic programs, text messages are displayed on the screen and are saved in the test log. A diagnostic text message indicates that a problem has been detected and provides the action you should take as a result of the text message.

Make sure that the server has the latest version of the diagnostic programs. To download the latest version, go to http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/.

Utilities are available to reset and update the diagnostics code on the integrated USB flash device, if the diagnostic partition becomes damaged and does not start the diagnostic programs.

The DSA diagnostic programs collect information about the following aspects of the system:

  • System configuration
    •Network interfaces and settings
    •Hardware inventory, including PCI and USB information
  • Drive health information
    •SAS/SATA RAID and controller configuration
    • Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors

The DSA diagnostic programs can also provide diagnostics for the following system components, if they are installed in the system:

•Intel Dual Gigabit Ethernet

•Optical drives

- Hard disk drives

•SAS/SATA RAID controller

• Integrated management module II (IMM2)

•Trusted Platform Module chip

•Memory

- Microprocessor

For more information and to download the utilities, go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?brandind=5000008&Indocid=SERV-DSA.

Running the diagnostic programs

If the diagnostic programs do not detect any hardware errors but the problem remains during normal server operations, a software error might be the cause. If you suspect a software problem, see the information that comes with your software.

A single problem might cause more than one error message. When this happens, correct the cause of the first error message. The other error messages usually will not occur the next time you run the diagnostic programs.

Exception: If multiple error codes or LEDs indicate a microprocessor error, the error might be in a microprocessor or in a microprocessor socket. See "Microprocessor problems" on page 86 for information about diagnosing microprocessor problems.

If the server stops during testing and you cannot continue, restart the server and try to run the diagnostic programs again. If the problem remains, replace the component that was being tested when the server stopped.

To run the DSA Preboot diagnostic programs with software RAID turned off, complete the following steps.

  1. Press F1 to boot the uEFI setup menu and disable software RAID (see "Disable a software RAID array of hard disk drives" on page 285 for more information).
  2. Select IDE mode.
  3. Save the setting and press F2 to run DSA Preboot diagnostic programs.

Note: The DSA Preboot diagnostic program might appear to be unresponsive for an unusual length of time when you start the program. This is normal operation while the program loads.

  1. Reboot the system after the DSA is completed.
  2. Press F1 to boot the uEFI setup menu and enable software RAID.
  3. Save the setting and reboot the system.
  4. The system will boot back to NOS.

Diagnostic text messages

Diagnostic text messages are displayed while the tests are running. A diagnostic text message contains one of the following results:

Passed: The test was completed without any errors.

Failed: The test detected an error.

Aborted: The test could not proceed because of the server configuration.

Viewing the test log

To view the test log when the tests are completed, type the view command in the DSA interactive menu, or select Diagnostic Event Log in the graphical user interface. To transfer DSA Preboot collections to an external USB device, type the copy command in the DSA interactive menu.

Recovering the server firmware

Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.

If the server firmware has become corrupted, such as from a power failure during an update, you can recover the server firmware in the following way:

- In-band method: Recover server firmware, using either the boot block jumper (Automated Boot Recovery) and a server Firmware Update Package Service Pack.

Note: You can obtain a server update package from one of the following sources:

- Download the server firmware update from the World Wide Web.

- Contact your IBM service representative.

To download the server firmware update package from the World Wide Web, complete the following steps.

  1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.
  2. Under Product support, click System x.
  3. Under Popular links, select Software and device drivers.
  4. From the Product family menu, select System x3100 M4 to display the matrix of downloadable files for the server.
  5. Download the latest server firmware update and the update tool UXSPI.

The flash memory of the server consists of a primary bank and a backup bank. It is essential that you maintain the backup bank with a bootable firmware image. If the primary bank becomes corrupted, you can either manually boot the backup bank with the boot block jumper, or in the case of image corruption, this will occur automatically with the Automated Boot Recovery function.

In-band manual recovery method

To recover the server firmware and restore the server operation to the primary bank, complete the following steps.

  1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 165.
  2. Turn off the server, and disconnect all power cords and external cables.
  3. Unlock and remove the server cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 166).
  4. Locate the BIOS boot backup jumper (JP2) on the system board.

  1. Remove any adapter that impede access to the boot block recovery jumper (JP2) (see "Removing a ServeRAID adapter" on page 176).

  2. Move the BIOS boot backup jumper (JP2) from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and 3 to enable the UEFI recovery mode.

  3. Reinstall any adapter that you removed before (see "Installing a ServeRAID adapter" on page 178).

  4. Reinstall the server cover (see "Installing the side cover" on page 167).

  5. Reconnect the power cord and any cables that you removed.

  6. Restart the server. The system begins the power-on self-test (POST).

  7. Boot the server to an operating system that is supported by the firmware update package that you downloaded.

  8. Perform firmware update following the instructions in the firmware update package readme file.

  9. Turn off the server and disconnect all power cords and external cables, and then remove the server side cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 166).

  10. Remove any adapter that impede access to the boot block recovery jumper (JP2) (see "Removing a ServeRAID adapter" on page 176).

  11. Move the BIOS boot backup jumper (JP2) from pins 2 and 3 back to the primary position (pins 1 and 2).

  12. Reinstall any adapter that you removed before (see "Installing a ServeRAID adapter" on page 178).

  13. Reinstall the server top cover (see "Installing the side cover" on page 167).

  14. Reconnect the power cord and any cables that you removed.

  15. Restart the server. The system begins the power-on self-test (POST). If this does not recover the primary back, continue with the following steps.

  16. Remove the server side cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 166).

  17. Reset the CMOS by removing the system battery (see "Removing the system battery" on page 207).

  18. Leave the system battery out of the server for approximately 5 to 15 minutes.
  19. Reinstall the system battery (see "Installing the system battery" on page 209).
  20. Reinstall the server side cover (see "Installing the side cover" on page 167).
  21. Reconnect the power cord and any cables that you removed.
  22. Restart the server. The system begins the power-on self-test (POST).
  23. If these recovery efforts fail, contact your IBM service support representative for support.

See "System-board switches and jumpers" on page 19 for a description of the jumpers and switches.

In-band automated boot recovery method

Note: Use this method if the System board error LED is lit and there is a log entry or Booting Backup Image is displayed on the firmware splash screen; otherwise, use the in-band manual recovery method.

  1. Boot the server to an operating system that is supported by the firmware update package that you downloaded.
  2. Perform the firmware update by following the instructions that are in the firmware update package readme file.
  3. Restart the server.
  4. At the firmware splash screen, press F3 when prompted to restore to the primary bank. The server boots from the primary bank.

Automated boot recovery (ABR)

If the server is booting up and the IMM2 detect problems with the server firmware in the primary bank, it will automatically switch to the backup firmware bank and give you the opportunity to recover the primary bank. To recover to the server firmware primary bank, complete the following steps.

  1. Restart the server.
  2. When the prompt press F3 to restore to primary is displayed, press F3 to recover the primary bank. Pressing F3 will restart the server.

Three boot failure

Configuration changes, such as added devices or adapter firmware updates can cause the server to fail POST (power-on self-test). If this occurs on three consecutive boot attempts, the server will temporarily use the default configuration values and automatically goes to F1 Setup. To solve the problem, complete the following steps.

  1. Undo any configuration changes that you made recently and restart the server.
  2. Remove any devices that you added recently and restart the server.
  3. If the problem remains, go to Setup and select Load Default Settings, and then click Save to restore the server factory settings.

Solving power problems

Power problems can be difficult to solve. For example, a short circuit can exist anywhere on any of the power distribution buses. Usually, a short circuit will cause the power subsystem to shut down because of an overcurrent condition. To diagnose a power problem, use the following general procedure:

  1. Turn off the server and disconnect all ac power cords.
  2. Check for loose cables in the power subsystem. Also check for short circuits, for example, if a loose screw is causing a short circuit on a circuit board.
  3. Remove the adapters and disconnect the cables and power cords to all internal and external devices until the server is at the minimum configuration that is required for the server to start (see "Solving undetermined problems" on page 147 for the minimum configuration).
  4. Reconnect all ac power cords and turn on the server. If the server starts successfully, replace the adapters and devices one at a time until the problem is isolated.

If the server does not start from the minimum configuration, replace the components in the minimum configuration one at a time until the problem is isolated.

Solving Ethernet controller problems

The method that you use to test the Ethernet controller depends on which operating system you are using. See the operating-system documentation for information about Ethernet controllers, and see the Ethernet controller device-driver readme file.

Try the following procedures:

- Make sure that the correct device drivers, which come with the server, are installed and that they are at the latest level.

- Make sure that the Ethernet cable is installed correctly.

  • The cable must be securely attached at all connections. If the cable is attached but the problem remains, try a different cable.
  • If you set the Ethernet controller to operate at 100 Mbps, you must use Category 5 cabling.
  • If you directly connect two servers (without a hub), or if you are not using a hub with X ports, use a crossover cable. To determine whether a hub has an X port, check the port label. If the label contains an X, the hub has an X port.

- Determine whether the hub supports auto-negotiation. If it does not, try configuring the integrated Ethernet controller manually to match the speed and duplex mode of the hub.

- Check the Ethernet controller LEDs on the rear panel of the server. These LEDs indicate whether there is a problem with the connector, cable, or hub.

  • The Ethernet link status LED is lit when the Ethernet controller receives a link pulse from the hub. If the LED is off, there might be a defective connector or cable or a problem with the hub.
  • The Ethernet transmit/receive activity LED is lit when the Ethernet controller sends or receives data over the Ethernet network. If the Ethernet transmit/receive activity light is off, make sure that the hub and network are operating and that the correct device drivers are installed.

- Check the LAN activity LED on the rear of the server. The LAN activity LED is lit when data is active on the Ethernet network. If the LAN activity LED is off, make sure that the hub and network are operating and that the correct device drivers are installed.

  • Check for operating-system-specific causes of the problem.
  • Make sure that the device drivers on the client and server are using the same protocol.

If the Ethernet controller still cannot connect to the network but the hardware appears to be working, the network administrator must investigate other possible causes of the error.

Solving undetermined problems

If the diagnostic tests did not diagnose the failure or if the server is inoperative, use the information in this section.

If you suspect that a software problem is causing failures (continuous or intermittent), see "Software problems" on page 92.

Damaged data in CMOS memory or damaged server firmware can cause undetermined problems. To reset the CMOS data, use the clear CMOS jumber to clear the CMOS memory; see “System-board switches and jumpers” on page 19. If you suspect that the server firmware is damaged, see “Recovering the server firmware” on page 142.

Check the LEDs on all the power supplies. If the LEDs indicate that the power supplies are working correctly, complete the following steps.

  1. Turn off the server.
  2. Make sure that the server is cabled correctly.
  3. Remove or disconnect the following devices, one at a time, until you find the failure. Turn on the server and reconfigure it each time.
    • Any external devices.
  4. Surge-suppressor device (on the server).
    •Modem, printer, mouse, and non-IBM devices.
    •Each adapter.
  5. Hard disk drives.
  6. Memory modules. The minimum configuration requirement is one 1 GB DIMM on the system board.

The following minimum configuration is required for the server to start:

•One microprocessor
•One 1 GB DIMM on the system board
•One power supply
•Power cord
•ServeRAID SAS/SATA adapter
- System board

  1. Turn on the server. If the problem remains, suspect the following components in the following order:

a. Memory module
b. Microprocessor
c. System board

If the problem is solved when you remove an adapter from the server but the problem recurs when you reinstall the same adapter, suspect the adapter; if the problem recurs when you replace the adapter with a different one, suspect the system board.

If you suspect a networking problem and the server passes all the system tests, suspect a network cabling problem that is external to the server.

Chapter 5. Removing and replacing server components

Replaceable components are of three types:

  • Tier 1 customer replaceable unit (CRU): Replacement of Tier 1 CRUs is your responsibility. If IBM installs a Tier 1 CRU at your request, you will be charged for the installation.
  • Tier 2 customer replaceable unit: You may install a Tier 2 CRU yourself or request IBM to install it, at no additional charge, under the type of warranty service that is designated for your server.
  • Field replaceable unit (FRU): FRUs must be installed only by trained service technicians.

See Chapter 4, "Parts listing, System x3100 M4 Type 2582," on page 151 to determine whether a component is a Tier 1 CRU, Tier 2 CRU, or FRU.

For information about the terms of the warranty and getting service and assistance, see the WarrantyInformationdocument that comes with the server.

Installation guidelines

Before you remove or replace a component, read the following information:

  • Read the safety information that begins on page vii and the guidelines in "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 165. This information will help you work safely.
  • When you install your new server, take the opportunity to download and apply the most recent firmware updates. This step will help to ensure that any known issues are addressed and that your server is ready to function at maximum levels of performance. To download firmware updates for your server, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/.

Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code. For additional information about tools for updating, managing, and deploying firmware, see the ToolsCenter for System x and BladeCenter at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/toolsctr/v1r0/index.jsp.

  • Before you install optional devices, make sure that the server is working correctly. Start the server, and make sure that the operating system starts, if an operating system is installed, or that a 19990305 error code is displayed, indicating that an operating system was not found but the server is otherwise working correctly. If the server is not working correctly, see Chapter 1, "Start here," on page 1 and Chapter 3, "Diagnostics," on page 23 for diagnostic information.
  • Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place.
  • If you must start the server while the cover is removed, make sure that no one is near the server and that no other objects have been left inside the server.
  • Do not attempt to lift an object that you think is too heavy for you. If you have to lift a heavy object, observe the following precautions:

- Make sure that you stand safely without slipping.

- Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.

  • Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you lift a heavy object.
  • To avoid straining the muscles in your back, lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles

- Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for the server, monitor, and other devices.

- Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.

- Have a small flat-blade screwdriver, a small Phillips screwdriver, and a T8 torx screwdriver available.

- Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component to remove it from or install it in the server, open or close a latch, and so on.

- When you are finished working on the server, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.

- For a list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.

System reliability guidelines

To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following requirements are met:

• Each of the drive bays has a drive or a filler panel and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield installed in it.

- There is adequate space around the server to allow the server cooling system to work properly. Leave approximately 50 mm (2 in.) of open space around the front and rear of the server. Do not place objects in front of the fans. For proper cooling and airflow, replace the server cover before turning on the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the server cover removed might damage server components.

- You have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters.

- You do not run the server without the air baffle installed. Operating the server without the air baffle might cause the microprocessor or the DIMMs to overheat.

- The microprocessor socket always contains a microprocessor and heat sink.

Working inside the server with the power on

Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the server to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on.

Follow these guidelines when you work inside a server that is turned on:

  • Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts before you work inside the server; do not wear cuff links while you are working inside the server.
  • Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server.
  • Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting wrist watches.
  • Remove items from your shirt pocket, such as pens and pencils, that might fall into the server as you lean over it.
  • Avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hairpins, and screws, into the server.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage the server and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:

  • Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
    •The use of a grounding system is recommended. For example, wear an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap, if one is available. Always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on.
  • Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
  • Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
  • Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
  • While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part on the outside of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.
  • Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the server without setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on the server cover or on a metal surface.
    •Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Returning a device or component

If you are instructed to return a device or component, follow all packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.

Removing and replacing consumable parts and Tier 1 CRUs

Replacement of consumable parts and Tier 1 CRUs is your responsibility. If IBM installs a consumable part or a Tier 1 CRU at your request, you will be charged for the installation.

The following notes describe the types of drives that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing a drive:

- Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that is specified in the documentation that comes with the drive.

- Check the instructions that come with the drive to see whether you have to set any switches or jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SATA device, be sure to set the SATA ID for that device.

- Optional external tape drives, DVD-ROM drive are examples of removable-media drives. You can install removable-media drives only in bays 1 and 2.

•The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all bays and PCI slots covered or occupied. When you install a drive or PCI adapter, save the EMC shield and filler panel from the bay or the PCI adapter slot cover in the event that you later remove the drive or adapter.

Installing a memory module

The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install DIMMs (see "System-board internal connectors" on page 17).

•The server supports industry-standard, 1066, 1333 and 1600 MHz, PC3-12800 (single-rank or dual-rank) double-data-rate 3 (DDR3), registered or unbuffered, synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) with error correcting code (ECC). For a list of supported options for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us; then, select your country and navigate to the list of options for the server.
- The maximum amount of memory that the server supports is dependent on the type of memory that you install in the server.
- The amount of usable memory is reduced, depending on the system configuration. A certain amount of memory must be reserved for system resources. To view the total amount of installed memory and the amount of configured memory, run the Setup utility. For additional information, see "Using the Setup utility" on page 271.
- The maximum operating speed of the server is determined by the slowest DIMM in the server.
- If you install a pair of DIMMs in DIMM connectors 1 and 3, the size and speed of the DIMMs that you install in DIMM connectors 1 and 3 must match each other. However, they do not have to be the same size and speed as the DIMMs that are installed in DIMM connectors 2 and 4.
- You can use compatible DIMMs from various manufacturers in the same pair.
- When you install or remove DIMMs, the server configuration information changes. When you restart the server, the system displays a message that indicates that the memory configuration has changed.

Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which could result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on.

•The specifications of a DDR3 DIMM are on a label on the DIMM, in the following format.

ggg eRxff-PC3-wwwwww-m-aa-bb-cc

where:

gggis the total capacity of the DIMM (for example, 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB)

eis the number of ranks

1 = single-rank

2 = dual-rank

4 = quad-rank

ffis the device organization (bit width)

4 = x4 organization (4 DQ lines per SDRAM)

8 = x8 organization

16 = x16 organization

Note: To determine the type of a DIMM, see the label on the DIMM. The information on the label is in the format xxxxx nRxxx PC3-xxxxx-xx-xx-xxx. The numeral in the sixth numerical position indicates whether the DIMM is single-rank (n=1) or dual-rank (n=2).

Unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs)

The following notes provide information that you must consider when you install UDIMMs:

  • The memory channels run at the lowest common frequency of the DIMMs installed.
  • The UDIMM options that are available for the server are 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB (when available) DIMMs.
    •The server supports up to two single-rank or dual-rank UDIMMs per channel.
    •The following table lists the supported UDIMM population.

Note: OPROM configuration utility is only available for emulex 10G card.

The next time the server starts, it returns to the startup sequence that is set in the Setup utility.

Starting the backup server firmware

The system board contains a backup copy area for the server firmware (formerly BIOS firmware). This is a secondary copy of the server firmware that you update only during the process of updating the server firmware. If the primary copy of the server firmware becomes damaged, use this backup copy.

To force the server to start from the backup copy, turn off the server; then, place the J6 jumper in the backup position (pins 2 and 3).

Use the backup copy of the server firmware until the primary copy is restored. After the primary copy is restored, turn off the server; then, move the J6 jumper back to the primary position (pins 1 and 2).

Using the integrated management module II (IMM2)

The Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) is the second generation of the functions that were formerly provided by the Integrated Management Module (IMM). It combines service processor functions and the video controller in a single chip.

The IMM2 supports the following basic systems-management features:

- Environmental monitor with fan speed control for temperature, voltages, fan failure, and power supply failure.

- DIMM error assistance. The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) disables a failing DIMM that is detected during POST, and the IMM2 lights the associated system error LED and the failing DIMM error LED.

•System event-log (SEL).

- ROM-based IMM2 firmware flash updates.

•Auto Boot Failure Recovery (ABR).

•Nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) detection and reporting.

- Automatic Server Restart (ASR) when POST is not complete or the operating system hangs and the operating system watchdog timer times-out. The IMM2 allows the administrator to generate a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) by pressing an NMI button on the system board for an operating-system memory dump. ASR is supported by IPMI.

- Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Specification V2.0 and Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) support.

- Serial over LAN (SOL).

- Power/reset control (power-on, hard and soft shutdown, hard and soft reset).

- Alerts (IPMI style PET traps).

Using IPMItool

IPMItool provides various tools that you can use to manage and configure an IPMI system. You can use IPMItool in-band to manage and configure the IMM2. For more information about IPMItool, or to download IPMItool, go to http://sourceforge.net

If you attempt to access sever firmware information while the server is resetting, Unknown is displayed in the fields, and the description is Error retrieving information from IMM2.

LAN over USB

A LAN over USB interface enables in-band communications to the IMM2; the IMM2 hardware on the system board presents an internal Ethernet NIC from the IMM2 to the operating system.

Typically, the IMM2 IP address for the LAN over USB interface is set to a static address of 169.254.95.118 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. In the event of an IP address collision on the network, the IMM2 might obtain a different IP address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range.

Because the IMM2 might obtain a random IP address for the LAN over USB interface, the ASU and firmware flash utilities, DSA, and the IBM Systems Director Agent use the Service Location Protocol (SLP) to discover the IMM2 IP address. These tools perform an SLP multicast discovery on the LAN over USB interface. When they receive a response from the IMM2, they obtain the attributes that contain the IP address that the IMM2 is using for the LAN over USB interface.

Potential conflicts with the LAN over USB interface

In some situations, the IMM2 LAN over USB interface can conflict with certain network configurations, applications, or both. For example, Open MPI attempts to

use all of the available network interfaces on a server. Open MPI detects the IMM2 LAN over USB interface and attempts to use it to communicate with other systems in a clustered environment. The LAN over USB interface is an internal interface, so this interface does not work for external communications with other systems in the cluster.

Resolving conflicts with the IMM2 LAN over USB interface

There are several actions that resolve LAN over USB conflicts with network configurations and applications:

  • For conflicts with Open MPI, configure the application so that it does not attempt to use the interface.
    •Take the interface down (run ifdown under Linux).
  • Remove the device driver (run rmmod under Linux).

Configuring the LAN over USB interface manually

For the IMM2 to use the LAN over USB interface, you might have to complete other configuration tasks if the automatic setup fails or if you prefer to set up the LAN over USB manually. The firmware update package or Advanced Settings Utility attempts to perform the setup automatically. For more information about LAN over USB configuration on different operating systems, see the IBM white paper Transitioning to UEFI and IMM on the IBM website.

Installing device drivers

For the IMM2 to use the LAN over USB interface, you might have to install operating-system drivers. If the automatic setup fails or if you prefer to set up the LAN over USB manually, use one of the following procedures. For more information about LAN over USB configuration on different operating systems, see the IBM white paper Transitioning to UEFI and IMM on the IBM website.

Using the LSI Configuration Utility program

Note: OPROM configuration utility is only available for emulex 10G card.

Use the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure and manage redundant array of independent disks (RAID) arrays. Be sure to use this program as described in this document.

- Use the LSI Configuration Utility program to perform the following tasks:

  • Perform a low-level format on a hard disk drive
  • Create an array of hard disk drives with or without a hot-spare drive
  • Set protocol parameters on hard disk drives

The integrated SATA controller with RAID capabilities supports RAID arrays. ServeRAID-BR10il adapter provides RAID levels 0 and 1 support. If you install a different type of RAID adapter, follow the instructions in the documentation that comes with the adapter to view or change settings for attached devices.

In addition, you can download an LSI command-line configuration program from http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.

When you are using the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure and manage arrays, consider the following information:

  • The integrated SATA controller with RAID capabilities supports the following features:
  • Integrated Mirroring (IM) with hot-spare support (also known as RAID 1) Use this option to create an integrated array of two disks plus up to two optional hot spares. All data on the primary disk can be migrated.
    – Integrated Striping (IS) (also known as RAID 0)
    Use this option to create an integrated striping array of two to eight disks. All data on the array disks will be deleted.
  • Hard disk drive capacities affect how you create arrays. The drives in an array can have different capacities, but the RAID controller treats them as if they all have the capacity of the smallest hard disk drive.
  • If you use an integrated SATA controller with RAID capabilities to configure a RAID 1 (mirrored) array after you have installed the operating system, you will lose access to any data or applications that were previously stored on the secondary drive of the mirrored pair.
  • If you install a different type of RAID controller, see the documentation that comes with the controller for information about viewing and changing settings for attached devices.

Important notes

Processor speed indicates the internal clock speed of the microprocessor; other factors also affect application performance.

CD or DVD drive speed is the variable read rate. Actual speeds vary and are often less than the possible maximum.

When referring to processor storage, real and virtual storage, or channel volume, KB stands for 1024 bytes, MB stands for 1,048,576 bytes, and GB stands for 1,073,741,824 bytes.

When referring to hard disk drive capacity or communications volume, MB stands for 1,000,000 bytes, and GB stands for 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total user-accessible capacity can vary depending on operating environments.

Maximum internal hard disk drive capacities assume the replacement of any standard hard disk drives and population of all hard disk drive bays with the largest currently supported drives that are available from IBM.

Maximum memory might require replacement of the standard memory with an optional memory module.

IBM makes no representation or warranties regarding non-IBM products and services that are ServerProven ^® , including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. These products are offered and warranted solely by third parties.

IBM makes no representations or warranties with respect to non-IBM products. Support (if any) for the non-IBM products is provided by the third party, not IBM.

Some software might differ from its retail version (if available) and might not include user manuals or all program functionality.

Particulate contamination

Attention: Airborne particulates (including metal flakes or particles) and reactive gases acting alone or in combination with other environmental factors such as humidity or temperature might pose a risk to the server that is described in this document. Risks that are posed by the presence of excessive particulate levels or concentrations of harmful gases include damage that might cause the server to malfunction or cease functioning altogether. This specification sets forth limits for particulates and gases that are intended to avoid such damage. The limits must not be viewed or used as definitive limits, because numerous other factors, such as temperature or moisture content of the air, can influence the impact of particulates or environmental corrosives and gaseous contaminant transfer. In the absence of specific limits that are set forth in this document, you must implement practices that maintain particulate and gas levels that are consistent with the protection of human health and safety. If IBM determines that the levels of particulates or gases in your environment have caused damage to the server, IBM may condition provision of repair or replacement of servers or parts on implementation of appropriate remedial measures to mitigate such environmental contamination. Implementation of such remedial measures is a customer responsibility.

Table20.Limitsforparticulatesandgases

Contaminant Limits
