Frequently Asked Questions - eServer xSeries 226 IBM

How to reset the BIOS password?
To reset the BIOS password, open the server cover and locate the CMOS reset jumper (usually labeled CLR_CMOS). Move the jumper from the default position (1-2) to position 2-3 for a few seconds, then return it to the initial position. Restart the server; the password will be cleared.
What type of RAM is compatible?
The server accepts DDR ECC memory (Registered or Unbuffered) with a frequency of 266 MHz or 333 MHz. The maximum capacity is 16 GB across 4 slots. Use IBM-branded or certified compatible modules.
How to configure RAID?
At startup, press Ctrl+I to access the Intel RAID configuration utility. You can create RAID 0, 1, 5, or 10 volumes. Follow the on-screen instructions to select disks and initialize the array.
Can I upgrade the processor?
Yes, the server supports Intel Xeon processors from the MP family (such as Xeon 3.0 GHz or higher). The socket is a Socket 604. Ensure the BIOS is up to date before replacement.
How to hot-swap a hard drive?
The server supports hot-swappable hard drives. Remove the tray of the failed drive by pulling the handle, insert the new drive into the tray, and reinsert it into the bay. Recognition is automatic. For SCSI drives, check the disk ID.
What to do in case of an orange error LED?
An orange LED indicates a hardware problem. Check the front diagnostic panel to identify the faulty component (power supply, fan, disk, etc.). Consult the documentation for error codes or use the IBM Director utility for more information.
The server won't start, what should I check?
First check that the power cables are properly connected and the outlet is working. Then inspect the LEDs on the power supply. If no LED, replace the power supply. Listen for beeps: one long and two short beeps indicate a memory problem. Reseat the RAM modules.
How to update the firmware?
Download the latest firmware version from the IBM (or Lenovo support) website. Create a bootable floppy disk or USB drive containing the update file. Boot the server from this media and follow the on-screen instructions. Do not turn off power during the update.
Which operating systems are supported?
The server supports Windows Server (2003, 2008), Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESX. Check the IBM compatibility list for exact versions.

Serverpowerfeatures

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 is shut down; however, the server can respond to remote requests to turn on the server. The power-on LED flashes to indicate that the server is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on.

Note: When the server is connected to an ac power source, the power supply fan turns on and remains on to provide cooling to the power supply.

Turning on the server

Approximately 20 seconds after the server is connected to ac power, the power-control button becomes active, and 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:

  • If a power failure occurs while the server is turned on, the server will restart automatically when power is restored.
  • If the operating system supports the systems-management software for an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II, the systems-management software can turn on the server.
  • If the operating system supports the Wake on LAN® feature, the Wake on LAN feature can turn on the server.
  • If an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II is installed in the server, the server can be turned on from the Remote Supervisor Adapter II 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 options.

Turning off the server

When you turn off the server and leave it connected to ac power, the server can respond to remote requests to turn on the server. 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 the operating-system documentation for information about shutting down the operatingsystem.

  • Read Appendix B, "Safety information," on page 143.
  • The server diagnostic programs are stored on the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD. These programs provide the primary methods of testing the major components of the server. If you are not sure whether a problem is caused by the hardware or by the software, you can run the diagnostic programs to confirm that the hardware is working correctly.
  • When you run the diagnostic programs, a single problem might cause several error messages. If you receive several error messages, correct the cause of the first error message. The other error messages might not occur the next time you run the diagnostic programs.
  • Before running the diagnostic programs, you must determine whether the failing server is part of a shared hard disk drive cluster (two or more servers sharing external storage devices). If you suspect that 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 conditionsisttrue:

  • The customer identifies the failing server as part of a cluster.

  • 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:

  1. For servers that are 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 could enable the hard disk drive diagnostic tests.
  2. If more than one error code is displayed, correct the first error. The other error codes might not occur the next time you run the diagnostic programs.
  3. If the server is suspended and a POST error code is displayed, see "POST error codes" on page 99
  4. If the server is suspended and no error message is displayed, see "Error symptoms" on page 109 and "Undetermined problems" on page 127.
  5. For information about power-supply problems, see "Power checkout" on page 21.
  6. For intermittent problems, check the error log; see "Diagnostic programs, error codes, and messages" on page 14.

Complete the following steps to perform the checkout procedure:

001 IS THE SERVER PART OF A CLUSTER?

YES. Schedule maintenance for the system. Shut down all systems related to the cluster. Run the storage test.

NO. Go to step 002.

002 IF THE SERVER IS NOT PART OF A CLUSTER:

  1. Turn off the server and all external devices.
  2. Check all cables and power cords.
  3. Set all display controls to the middle position.
  4. Turn on all external devices.
  5. Turn on the server.
  6. Record any POST error messages that are displayed on the screen. If an error is displayed, look up the first error in the "POST error codes" onpage99.
  7. Check the system-error log.

Note: The system-error log is available only with the Remote SupervisorAdapterII.

If an error was recorded by the server, see Chapter 6, "Symptom-to-FRU index," on page 97.

  1. Start the diagnostic programs.

  2. Check for the following responses:

•Onebeep

- Readable instructions or the main menu

003 DID YOU RECEIVE BOTH OF THE CORRECT RESPONSES?

NO. Find the failure symptom in Chapter 6, "Symptom-to-FRU index," or page97.

YES. Run the diagnostic programs (see "Diagnostic programs, error codes and messages" on page 14).

If you receive an error, see Chapter 6, "Symptom-to-FRU index," on page 97

If the diagnostic programs were completed successfully and you still suspect a problem, see "Undetermined problems" on page 127.

Diagnostictoolsoverview

The following tools are available to help you diagnose and solve hardware-related problems:

- POST error logs

The power-on self-test (POST) generates beep codes and messages to indicate successful test completion or the detection of a problem.

The POST error log contains the three most recent error codes and messages that the server has generated during POST.

The system-error log contains all the error messages that were issued during POST.

Note: The system-error log is available only with the Remote Supervisor Adapter II.

See "POST error logs" for more information.

• Diagnostic programs and error messages

The server diagnostic programs are the primary method of testing the major components of the server (see "Diagnostic programs, error codes, and messages" on page 14).

• System board error LEDs

These LEDs can help to pinpoint the source of a hardware problem (see "System board error LEDs" on page 17).

- Ethernet controller troubleshooting

This section provides information about Ethernet problems (see "Troubleshooting the Ethernet controller" on page 21).

POSTerrorlogs

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

If POST finishes without detecting any problems, a single beep sounds, and the first screen of the operating system or application program appears.

If POST detects a problem, more than one beep sounds, an error message appears on the screen, or both (see "Beep symptoms" on page 9 and "POST error codes" onpage99).

Note: A single problem might cause several error messages. When this occurs, work to correct the cause of the first error message. After you correct the cause of the first error message, the other error messages usually will not occur the next time you run the test.

The POST error log contains the three most recent error codes and messages that the system generated during POST.

The system-error log contains all messages that were issued during POST and all system status messages from the service processor.

Note: The system-error log is available only with the Remote Supervisor Adapter II.

You can view the contents of the system-error log from the Configuration/Setup Utility program or from the diagnostic programs.

Viewing error logs from the Configuration/Setup Utility program

Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program; then, select Error Logs from the main menu (see "Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 10).

Viewing error logs from diagnostic programs

To view error logs from the diagnostic programs, complete the following steps:

  1. Start the diagnostic programs (see "Starting the diagnostic programs" on page 15.

  2. Select Hardware Info from the top of the diagnostic programs screen.

  3. Select System Error Log from the list that appears; then, follow the instructions on the screen.

Note: The system-error log is available only with the Remote Supervisor AdapterII.

Diagnostic programs, error codes, and messages

The server diagnostic programs are stored on the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD. These programs are the primary method of testing the major components of the server.

Diagnostic error messages indicate that a problem exists. They are not intended to be used to identify a failing part. Troubleshooting and servicing of complex problems that are indicated by error messages should be performed by trained servicepersonnel.

Sometimes the first error to occur causes additional errors. In this case, the server displays more than one error message. Always follow the suggested action instructions for the first error message that appears.

Error codes that might be displayed are listed at "Diagnostic error codes" on page 104.

Notes:

  1. Depending on the server configuration, some of the error codes might not appear when you run the diagnostic programs.
  2. If diagnostic error codes appear that are not listed in the tables, make sure that the server has the latest levels of BIOS, Remote Supervisor Adapter II, and ServeRAIDcodeinstalled.

Diagnostic text message format

The diagnostic text message format is as follows:

resulttest_specific_string

where:

result is one of the following results:

Passed

This test was completed without any errors.

Failed

This test discovered an error.

UserAborted

You stopped the test before it was completed.

NotApplicable

You attempted to test a device that is not present in the server.

Aborted

The test could not proceed because of the server configuration.

Warning

A hardware failure did not occur; the test could not be run because of some other problem (for example, there might be a configuration problem, the hardware is missing or is not being recognized, or there is a hardware problem that is not related to the hardware currently being tested).

test\_specific\_string

is an error code or other information about the error.

Starting the diagnostic programs

Complete the following steps to start the diagnostic programs:

  1. Turn off the server and any peripheral devices.
  2. Turn on all attached devices; then, turn on the server.

Notes:

a. To run the diagnostic programs, you must start the server with the highest level password that is set. That is, if an administrator password is set, you must enter the administrator password, not the user password, to run the diagnostic programs.
b. When you are diagnosing hard disk drives, select SCSI Fixed Disk Test for the most thorough test. Select Fixed Disk Test for any of the following situations:

  • You want to run a faster test.
    • The server contains RAID arrays.
    • The server contains SATA or IDE hard disk drives.

Note:

  1. When the prompt Press F1 For Configuration/Setup is displayed, press the F1key.
  2. When the Configuration/Setup Utility menu appears, select Start Options.
  3. From the Start Options menu, select Startup Sequence.
  4. Note the device that is selected as the first startup device. Later, you must restorethissetting.

  5. Select CD-ROM as the first startup device.

  6. Press Esc two times to return to the Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
  7. Insert the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD in the CD-ROM drive.
  8. Select Save & Exit Setup and follow the prompts. The diagnostics will load. Follow the instructions on the screen to run the diagnostics.
  9. When the tests are completed, you can view the test log; see "Viewing the test log."

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 the software package.

Viewing the test log

When the tests are completed, you can view the test log by selecting Utility from the top of the screen and then selecting View Test Log. You can save the test log to a file on a diskette or to the hard disk.

Important: When you finish running the diagnostics and utilities, remove the CD from the CD-ROM drive and turn off the server. You must restore the first startup device to the original setting. Use steps 2 on page 15 through 3 of this procedure to do this.

The test-log data is maintained only while the diagnostic programs are active. When you exit from the diagnostic programs, the test log is cleared (saved test logs are not affected). To save the test log to a file on a diskette or to the hard disk so that you can view it later, click Save Log on the diagnostic programs screen and specify a location and name for the saved log file.

Note: To save the test log to a diskette, you must use a diskette that you have formatted yourself; this function does not work with preformatted diskettes. If the diskette has sufficient space for the test log, the diskette may contain otherdata.

Viewing the system-error log

You can also view the system-error log from the diagnostic programs. See the instructions in "Viewing error logs from diagnostic programs" on page 14.

Note: The system-error log is available only in conjunction with the Remote SupervisorAdapterII.

Small computer system interface messages

If you receive a SCSI error message, see "SCSI error codes" on page 118.

Note: If the server does not have a hard disk drive, ignore any message that indicates that the BIOS is not installed.

DiagnosticerrorLEDs

Error LEDs are located on the system board and on the hard disk drives.

System board error LEDs

If the system-error LED on the front of the server is lit, there might also be lit LEDs on the system board. The following illustration shows the locations of the error LEDs on the system board.

Fan 1 error LED (D26) DIMM 6 error LED (D16) DIMM 5 error LED (D17) DIMM 4 error LED (D18) DIMM 3 error LED (D19) DIMM 2 error LED (D20) DIMM 1 error LED (D21) Fan 2 error LED (D27) Fan 4 error LED (D29) Fan 3 error LED (D25) (reserved) Microprocessor 2 error LED (D22) Microprocessor 1 error LED (D23)

If any of these LEDs is lit, it indicates a problem with the associated component. After a problem is corrected, its LED will not be lit the next time the server is restarted. If the LED remains lit after the server is restarted, the problem remains.

Complete the following steps to view the lit error LEDs:

  1. Read Appendix B, "Safety information," on page 143 and "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 26.
  2. Remove the side cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 28).

Updating Remote Supervisor Adapter II firmware

Information about updating the firmware of the Remote Supervisor Adapter II can be found in the Remote Supervisor Adapter II User's Guide.

Powercheckout

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.

Follow this general procedure for troubleshooting power problems:

  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, a loose screw can cause a short circuit on a circuit board.
  3. Remove adapters and disconnect the cables and power connectors to all internal and external devices until the server is at the minimum configuration that is required to start the server (see "Minimum operating requirements" on page [17]).
  4. Reconnect all ac power cords and turn on the server. If the server starts up successfully, replace adapters and devices one at a time until the problem is isolated. If the server does not start up from the minimal configuration, replace FRUs of minimal configuration one at a time until the problem is isolated.

To use this method, you must know the minimum configuration that is required for the server to start (see page 127).

Troubleshooting the Ethernet controller

This section provides troubleshooting information for problems that might occur with the 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controller.

Networkconnectionproblems

If the Ethernet controller cannot connect to the network, check the following conditions:

  • Make sure that the cable is installed correctly.
    The network 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 either 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps, you must use Category 5 or higher cabling.

  • 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 of the server.

These LEDs indicate whether there is a problem with the connector, cable, or hub:

- The Ethernet transmit/receive activity LED, on the rear of the server, is lit when the Ethernet controller sends or receives data over the Ethernet Network. If the Ethernet transmit/receive activity LED is off, make sure that the hub and network are operating and that the correct device drivers are installed.

- The Ethernet link status LED, on the rear of the server, 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.

  • Make sure that you are using the correct device drivers, which are supplied with theserver.
  • Check for operating-system-specific causes for the problem.
  • Make sure that the device drivers on the client and server are using the same protocol.

• Test the Ethernet controller.

The way the Ethernet controller is tested depends on which operating system you are using (see the Ethernet controller device driver readme files).

Ethernetcontroller messages

The integrated Ethernet controller might display messages from certain device drivers. The latest available information concerning these messages is at the IBM Support Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.

Chapter 4. Customer replacement units

This chapter provides basic instructions for installing hardware options in the server. These instructions are intended for users who are experienced with setting up IBM serverhardware.

Installationguidelines

Before you begin installing options, read the following information:

  • Read Appendix B, "Safety information," on page 143 and the guidelines in "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 26. This information will help you work safely with the server and options.
  • 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 available.
  • You do not have to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap drives or hot-plug Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices.
  • 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.
  • Orange on a component or orange label on or near a component indicates that the component can be hot-swapped, which means that if the server and operating system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the component while the server is running. (Orange can also indicate touch points on hot-swap components.) See the instructions for removing and installing a specific hot-swap component for any additional procedures that you might have to perform before you remove or install the component.
  • When you need to access the inside of the server to install options, you might find it easier to lay the server on its side.
  • For a list of supported options for the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/.

Systemreliabilityguidelines

To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that:

  • Each of the drive bays has a drive or a filler panel and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield installed.
  • 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 have replaced a failed fan as soon as possible.
  • You have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of its removal.
  • You do not remove the air baffle when the server has power or is running. Operating the server without the air baffle might cause the microprocessor to overheat.
  • Microprocessor socket 2 always contains either a microprocessor baffle or a microprocessor and heatsink.

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 electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:

  • Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
  • 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 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 metalsurface.
    • Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

To completely remove the microprocessor air baffle, gently press the sides of the baffle at the chassis toward each other until the tabs at the rear of the baffle are free of the slots in the chassis. To replace the air baffle, gently press the sides of the baffle toward each other until you can insert the rear tabs into the slots in the rear of the chassis.

Complete the following steps to close the microprocessor air baffle:

  1. Rotate the air baffle to the closed position, carefully guiding the top side of the air baffle between the cables, so that the cables cross in the notch of the air baffle side and are not pinched by the guide.

  2. Press the air baffle gently but firmly into place.

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 installing DIMMs:

  • The server comes with either two 256 MB or two 512 MB memory DIMMs installed in DIMM 1 and DIMM 2 memory connectors. The second pair of DIMMs must be installed in DIMM 3 and DIMM 4 memory connectors and the third pair in DIMM 5 and DIMM 6 memory connectors.
  • DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs. The DIMMs in each pair must be the same size, speed, type, and technology as each other but do not have to match the other pairs. You can mix compatible DIMMs from various manufacturers.
  • Install only 1.8 V, 184-pin, double-data-rate 2 (DDR2), PC2-3200, registered, synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with error correcting code (ECC), dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). These DIMMs must be compatible with the latest PC2-3200 SDRAM buffered DIMM specification. For a list of supported options for the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/; then, select your country and navigate to the list of options for the server.
  • The system board contains six DIMM connectors and supports two-way memory interleaving when the DIMMs are installed in pairs and functioning properly. If one DIMM in the pair fails, the server runs in single-channel mode (non-interleaving). A failed DIMM must be replaced as soon as possible; otherwise, the server will not start (boot).
  • The DIMM-installation sequence is based on single-rank DIMMs, double-rank DIMMs, and mixing single-rank and double-rank DIMMs. Single-rank DIMMs are 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB memory modules. Double-rank DIMMs are 2 GB memory modules. The following table lists the DIMM-installation sequence for the server maximum memory capacity using mixed single-rank and double-rank DIMMs.

Notes:

  1. Do not install four 2 GB double-rank DIMMs for the server maximum capacity (8 GB) configuration; the server does not support it.
  2. You can install pairs of 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DIMMs in the server, but for the server maximum capacity you must use the DIMM-sequence in the table below.
  3. You can install any combination of DIMM pairs in the server; however, you can install only two 2 GB double-rank DIMMs in the server, and they must go in DIMM connectors 1 and 2. Do not install 2 GB double-rank DIMMs in any connectors other than DIMM connectors 1 and 2.
  4. If you order DIMMs from IBM, the variable 2R in the description for the memory indicates that the DIMM is a double-rank 2 GB DIMM.

Table 2. Maximum memory capacity (8 GB) and installation sequence mixing single-rank and double-rank DIMMs

DIMM pairDIMM connectorsDIMM sizeRank
First pair1, 22 GBDouble-rank
Second pair3, 41 GBSingle-rank
Third pair5, 61 GBSingle-rank

- The DIMM options that are available for the server are 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB memory modules. The server supports a minimum of 256 MB and a maximum of 8 MB (when using 2 GB double-rank DIMMs) of system memory.

Important: Although the server supports a maximum of 8 GB of system memory, some Microsoft ^ Windows ^ operating systems recognize and support only a lesser amount of system memory, as shown in the following table.

Windows operating systemMaximum memory supported
Windows Server 2003, Web Edition2 GB
Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition4 GB
  • The memory controller in the server provides Chipkill™ memory protection if the DIMMs are 1 GB or larger, or if the server is populated with 512 MB x4 DIMMs. Chipkill memory protection is a technology that protects the server from a single chip failure on a DIMM.
  • The amount of usable memory is reduced depending on the system configuration. A certain amount of memory must be reserved for system resources. The BIOS displays the total amount of installed memory and the amount of configured memory.

Complete the following steps to install a DIMM:

  1. Read Appendix B, "Safety information," on page 143 and the "Installation guidelines" on page 25.
  2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and allexternalcables.
  3. Remove the side cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 28).
  4. Remove the support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support bracket" onpage32).
  5. Open the microprocessor air baffle (see "Opening and closing the microprocessor air baffle" on page 33).
  6. Locate the DIMM connectors on the system board (see "System board option connectors" on page 85). Determine the connectors into which you will install theDIMMs.

  7. Install the DIMMs in the sequence shown in the notes at the beginning of this section.

Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, open and close the clips gently.

IBM eServer xSeries 226 - Notes: - 1

natural_image Diagram showing a computer RAM module with two arrows indicating direction of movement or flow (no text or symbols present)

a. Open the retaining clips and, if necessary, remove any existing DIMM.
b. Touch the static-protective package containing the DIMM to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the new DIMM from the package.
c. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the slot.
d. Insert the DIMM into the connector, pressing gently but firmly until the retainingclipsclose.

  1. Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the edges of the DIMM with the slots at the ends of the DIMM connector. Firmly press the DIMM straight down into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the DIMM simultaneously. The retaining clips snap into the locked position when the DIMM is firmly seated in the connector. If there is a gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not been correctly installed. Open the retaining clips, remove the DIMM, and then reinsert it.

  2. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, close the microprocessor air baffle (see "Opening and closing the microprocessor air baffle" on page 33), replace the support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support bracket" on page 32), and go to "Completing the installation" on page60.

Installingadrive

Depending on the server model, one or more of the following drives might be installed in the server:

- Diskettedrive

- Hard disk drive

- CD-ROMdrive

Internaldrivebays

The server comes with an IDE CD-ROM drive in bay 1 and a 3.5-in., 1.44 MB diskette drive in bay 3. Some server models come with six hot-swap hard disk drive bays; other server models come with four simple-swap hard disk drive bays and a hard disk drive installed in bay 7.

Server with simple-swap hard disk drives

Bay 1 Bay 2 Bay 3 Bay 4 Bay 5 Bay 6 Bay 7

The following notes describe the types of drives that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing a hard disk 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 must set any switches or jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SCSI device, be sure to set the SCSI ID for that device.
  • Diskette drives, tape drives, CD-ROM, CD-RW, and DVD drives are examples of removable-media drives. You can install removable-media drives in bays 1, 2, and3only.
  • The integrated IDE controller in the server supports up to two IDE devices.
  • You can install a 3.5-in. slim-high or 5.25-in. half-high removable-media drive, such as a tape backup drive, CD-RW drive, or DVD drive, in bay 2.
  • The server supports only one diskette drive.
  • To install a 3.5-in. drive in a 5.25-in. bay, you must use the 5.25-in. conversion kit. Contact IBM to order the conversion kit.
  • 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 you later remove the option.
  • For a complete list of supported options for the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.

Installing a drive in bay 2

Complete the following steps to install a drive in bay 2:

  1. Read Appendix B, "Safety information," on page 143, and the "Installation guidelines" on page 25.
  2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.
  3. Remove the side cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 28).
  4. Remove the support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support bracket" on page 32).
  5. Remove the bezel (see "Removing the bezel" on page 30).
  6. Use a screwdriver to pry the filler panel and EMC shield away from the server.

Note: If you are installing a drive that contains a laser, observe the following safety precaution.

Statement3

  1. Touch the static-protective package containing the drive to any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place it on astatic-protectivesurface.

  2. Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to the documentation that comes with the drive.

Note: You might find it easier to install the new drive from the front and then attachthecables.

  1. If you are installing a 3.5-in. drive in bay 2, attach the 5.25-in. conversion kit, which you can order from IBM, to the 3.5-in. drive.
  2. Remove the large drive clip from the side of the drive cage for bays 1 through 3. Slide the drive clip toward the rear of the server; then, snap the drive clip into the screw holes on the side of the drive or conversion kit.
  3. Slide the drive into the drive bay until it snaps in place.
  4. Determine whether the drive is an IDE or SCSI device; then, connect one end of the applicable signal cable into the back of the drive and make sure that the other end of this cable is connected into the applicable IDE or SCSI connector on the system board.

- If you are installing a SCSI removable-media drive, use the one-drop SCSI cable that comes with the drive and connect it to SCSI channel A (SCSI1). See "Power and signal cables for internal drives" on page 44 for additional information about cabling drives and "System board internal connectors" on page 86 for the location of IDE and SCSI connectors on the system board.

- If there are open connectors on the cable connecting an existing IDE drive, you can use this cable to connect the new drive. The 4-connector SCSI cable that comes with non-hot-swap model servers cannot be used to connect a SCSI drive in bay 2.

  1. Route the signal cable so that it does not block the airflow to the rear of the drives or over the microprocessor and memory.
  2. If you have another drive to install or remove, do so now.
  3. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, replace the support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support bracket" or page 32), replace the bezel (see "Replacing the bezel" on page 31), and then go to "Completing the installation" on page 60

Installing a hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive in bay 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9

Some server models support hot-swap hard disk drives. The SCSI ID for each hot-swap hard disk drive is printed on the hot-swap lock bar.

Before you install a hot-swap hard disk drive, read the following information:

  • Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage.
  • Make sure that the drive is correctly installed in the tray.
  • To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10 minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each drive bay.
  • All hot-swap drives in the server must have the same speed rating; if you mix speed ratings, all drives will operate at the speed of the slowest drive.
  • You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap drivebays.
  • Set the drive jumpers either to disable auto-start or to delay startup, to prevent overtaxing the system power supply by all drives trying to spin up at once.
  • Install hot-swap hard disk drives in this sequence: bay 9, bay 8, bay 7, bay 6, bay 5, and bay 4.
  • If the server has an optional RAID adapter, see the documentation that comes with the adapter for instructions for installing a hard disk drive.

- Each hot-swap drive has two LEDs: the hard disk drive activity LED and the hard disk drive status LED. When the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, it indicates that the controller is accessing the hard disk drive. When the amber hard disk drive status LED is lit continuously, it indicates that the drive is faulty and must be replaced. When the amber hard disk drive status LED is flashing, it indicates that the drive is being rebuilt.

The server hot-swap bays are connected to a SCSI backplane. This backplane is the printed circuit board behind the bay. The backplane controls the SCSI IDs for thehot-swapdrives.

The following illustration shows how to install a hot-swap hard disk drive.

Filler panel Drive-tray assembly Hot-swap lock bar Drive tray-handle (in open position)

Complete the following steps to install a hot-swap hard disk drive.

Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10 minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.

  1. Read Appendix B, "Safety information," on page 143 and the "Installation guidelines" on page 25.
  2. Unlock the side cover.
  3. Slide the drive-bay lock bar to the left to access the drive bays.
  4. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays by inserting your finger into the depression at the left side of the filler panel and pulling it away from the server.

  5. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:

a. Make sure that the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive).
b. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
c. Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive stops.
d. Push the tray handle to the closed (locked) position.
e. Check the hard disk drive status indicator to make sure that the hard disk drive is operating properly. (You might have to restart the server before the drive is recognized.) If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit continuously, it indicates that the drive is faulty and must be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, it indicates that the drive is being accessed.

Note: If the server is configured for RAID operation using an optional ServeRAID adapter, you might have to reconfigure the disk arrays after installing hard disk drives. See the ServeRAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for additional information about RAID operation and complete instructions for using ServeRAID Manager.

  1. If you are installing additional hot-swap hard disk drives, do so now; otherwise, replace the hot-swap lock bar.
  2. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise go to

"Completing the installation" on page 60.

SCSI IDs for hot-swap hard disk drives

The hot-swap-drive backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the internal hot-swap drive bays. The SCSI ID for each hot-swap hard disk drive is printed on the hot-swap lock bar. The following table lists the SCSI IDs for the hard disk drives and backplane that are connected to one channel in hot-swap hard disk drive models. In the typical configuration, the standard hard disk drives and backplane are connected to channel B.

Installing a simple-swap Serial ATA hard disk drive in bay 4, 5, 6, or 7

Some server models support simple-swap Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drives, which are easily accessible from the front of the server. Drives are installed starting at the bottom, in bay 7. Additional drives are then installed in bays 6, 5, and 4.

Before you install a simple-swap SATA hard disk drive, read the following information:

  • Read the documentation that comes with the drive for cabling instructions.
  • You can install two simple-swap SATA hard disk drives in the server.

Note: You can install a third and fourth SATA drive if you install an optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter in the server. The optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter comes with two cables that you can use to cable the third and fourth SATA drives. If you install the optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter, all four SATA drives must then be connected to the ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter instead of the system board. See "Installing an adapter" on page 51 and "Cabling an optional SATA adapter" on page 55, or see the the optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter documentation.

  • Install simple-swap SATA hard disk drives in this sequence: bay 7, bay 6, bay 5, andbay4.
  • Bays 4, 5, 6, and 7 are simple-swap bays and do not require cabling.

Complete the following steps to install a simple-swap hard disk drive:

  1. Read Appendix B, "Safety information," on page 143 and the "Installation guidelines" on page 25.
  2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and powercords.
  3. Unlock the side cover (the bezel filler will not disengage from the server if the coverislocked).
  4. Grasp the recessed area on the bezel filler and rotate the bezel filler outward until it disengages from the server.

Recessed area Bezel filler

  1. Touch the static-protective package containing the drive to any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place it on astatic-protectivesurface.

  2. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay (the connector end of the drive goes in first); then, gently slide the drive assembly all the way into the drive bay until you hear a click.

  3. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, replace the bezel filler; then, see "Completing the installation" on page 60.

Power and signal cables for internal drives

The server uses cables to connect parallel IDE, simple-swap Serial ATA, and SCSI devices to the power supply and to the system board (see "System board internal connectors" on page 86 for the location of system-board connectors). Review the following information before connecting power and signal cables to internal drives:

  • The drives that are preinstalled in the server come with power and signal cables attached. If you replace any drives, remember or label which cable is attached to whichdrive.
  • When you install a drive, make sure that one of the signal cable drive connectors is connected to the drive and that the connector at the other end of the signal cable is connected to the system board.
  • If you have only one IDE device on a cable, it must be set as a master device.
  • If two IDE devices are used on a single cable, one must be designated as the master device and the other as the subordinate device; otherwise, the server might not recognize some of the IDE devices. The master and subordinate designation is determined by switch or jumper settings on each IDE device.

The following cables are provided:

  • Power cables: Four-wire power cables connect the drives to the power supply. At the end of these cables are plastic connectors that can be attached to different drives; these connectors vary in size. Use either a four-wire power cable or Serial ATA power cable with Serial ATA drives, but do not use both at the same time (use one or the other). For SCSI hot-swap drives, a special power cable connects the SCSI backplane to the power supply.
  • Signal cables: Signal cables are typically flat cables, also called ribbon cables, that connect parallel IDE, Serial ATA, SCSI, and diskette drives to the system board. Two or three types of signal cables come with the server:

- IDE: The wider IDE signal cable has three connectors. One of these connectors is attached to the drive, one is a spare, and the third is attached to the primary IDE connector on the system board. The spare connector can be used to connect an additional IDE drive to the server.

The CD-ROM drive is attached to an ATA 100 signal cable. ATA 100 signal cables are color-coded. The blue connector is attached to the system board. The black connector is attached to the master IDE device. The gray middle connector is attached to the subordinate IDE device.

  • Diskette drive: The narrower signal cable has two connectors. One is attached to the diskette drive, and the other is connected to the connector (FDD1) on the system board.
  • Serial ATA (SATA): The narrower, black signal cable has two connectors. One is connected to a simple-swap Serial ATA drive, and the other is attached to the connector on the system board. Each simple-swap Serial ATA drive comes with a cable. If you install an additional simple-swap Serial ATA drive, you will need an additional cable.

If you install the optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA controller to add a third and fourth SATA drive, all four SATA drives must then be connected to the ServeRAID-7t S-ATA controller instead of the system board. The optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA controller comes with two cables that you can use to cable the third and fourth SATA drives. See the optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA controller documentation for cabling instructions.

- SCSI: A round SCSI cable connects the SCSI backplane to the SCSI channel B connector on the system board. The maximum cable length that supports Ultra320 SCSI hard disk drives is 61 cm (24 in.).

Installing an external SCSI connector

To install an external SCSI connector on the rear of the server, install an external SCSI interface option. For a list of supported external SCSI interface options for the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat.

The external SCSI interface option contains a SCSI cable with a connector at one end and another connector on the other end. Complete the following steps to install and route the SCSI cable in the server:

  1. Turn off the server and all peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external signal cables from the server.
  2. Remove the server cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 28).
  3. Remove the support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support bracket" on page 32).

  4. Open the front adapter-support bracket and remove the rear adapter-retention bracket from the PCI-X slots (see "Installing an adapter" on page 51 for instructions). You might also have to remove longer adapters for access to the SCSI connectors on the system board.

  5. Connect the SCSI signal cable end labeled "PLANAR" to the connector for SCSI channel B on the system board (see "System board internal connectors" on page 86 for the location of the SCSI channel B connector).
  6. Route the SCSI cable to the adapter slot that has the special SCSI-knockout slot cover on the back of the server (see "Connecting the cables" on page 61 for an illustration of the SCSI-knockout slot cover, normally in PCI slot 3). Make sure the cable does not block the flow of air to the hard disk drives.

Note: You can move the special SCSI-knockout slot cover to a different slot if needed.

  1. Remove the SCSI-connector knockout from the PCI-X slot cover; then, insert the external SCSI connector on the SCSI cable into the knockout opening and secure it with the attached screws.

  2. Replace any adapters you removed in step 4. Close the front adapter-support bracket and replace the rear adapter-retention bracket.

  3. Replace the support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support bracket" on page 32).

  4. Replace the cover (see "Replacing the side cover" on page 29).

  5. Reconnect the external cables and power cords. Turn on the attached devices, and turn on the server.

  6. Use the SCSISelect program to configure SCSI channel B (see the User's Guide for information about using the SCSISelect program).

Installing an additional microprocessor

The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing a microprocessor:

  • The server comes with one microprocessor and supports up to two microprocessors.
  • Read the documentation that comes with the microprocessor to determine whether you must update the basic input/output system (BIOS) code in the server. To download the most current level of BIOS code for the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support.
  • (Optional) Obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported operating systems, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/.
  • The microprocessors must have the same cache size and type, and the same clock speed. Microprocessor internal and external clock frequencies must be identical. You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to determine the specific type of microprocessor that is in the server.
  • Terminator cards are not required for empty microprocessor sockets. However, for airflow, an empty microprocessor socket must contain a microprocessor baffle.
  • The microprocessor speeds are automatically set for this server; therefore, you do not have to set any microprocessor frequency-selection jumpers or switches.
  • The system board contains an integrated voltage regulator for microprocessor 1; you must install a voltage regulator module (VRM) on the system board when you install microprocessor 2. The VRM comes in the microprocessor option kit.
    • These instructions assume that you are installing microprocessor 2.

  • If you must replace a microprocessor, see "Microprocessor and heat sink" or page68.

  • For additional illustrations of the system-board components, see "System board option connectors" on page 85.

The following illustration shows how to install an additional microprocessor (microprocessor2).

DIMMs VRM Heat-sink release levers Microprocessor 2 Heat sink 2 Microprocessor baffle assembly Microprocessor air baffle

Complete the following steps to install a microprocessor:

  1. Read Appendix B, "Safety information," on page 143 and the "Installation guidelines" on page 25.
  2. Turn off the server and all peripheral devices; then, disconnect all power cords and external cables from the server.
  3. Remove the server cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 28).
  4. Remove the support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support bracket" on page 32).
  5. Open the microprocessor air baffle (see "Opening and closing the microprocessor air baffle" on page 33).

  6. Remove the microprocessor baffle assembly from the second microprocessor socket.

a. Press down on the blue touch point on the heat-sink release lever, then lift the lever up as far as it will go (135°) to release the baffle assembly.
b. Grasp the front of the baffle assembly and tip it up toward the rear of the server while pulling the rear flange out of the heat-sink retention module; then, lift the baffle assembly up and out of the server.

Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details about handling these devices, see "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 26

  1. If the second microprocessor socket is covered with protective film or a label, peel and remove the film or label.
  2. Install the microprocessor:

a. Touch the static-protective package containing the new microprocessor to any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the microprocessor from the package.

Lever fully open

b. Pull out and lift up on the microprocessor-release lever until the lever reaches its maximum vertical position (135°) to unlock the microprocessor socket.

Attention:

1) Do not use excessive force when pressing the microprocessor into the socket.
2) Make sure that the microprocessor is oriented and aligned correctly with pin number 1 in the socket before you try to close the microprocessor-release lever. The following illustration shows the alignment marks for both microprocessors and sockets.

Microprocessor 1 Microprocessor 2 Microprocessor socket 1 Retention bracket springs Microprocessor socket 2 Alignment marks Heat-sink release levers Microprocessor-release levers

c. Center the microprocessor over the microprocessor socket. Align the triangle on the corner of the microprocessor with the triangle on the corner of the socket and carefully press the microprocessor into the socket.
d. Carefully close the microprocessor-release lever to secure the microprocessor in the socket.

Attention: Do not set the heat sink down after you remove the plastic cover and do not touch the thermal grease on the bottom of the heat sink. Touching the thermal grease will contaminate it. If the thermal grease on the heat sink becomes contaminated, it must be cleaned and replaced by a service technician.

Thermal grease Heat sink

  1. Install the heat sink on the microprocessor.

a. Make sure that the heat-sink-release lever is in the fully open position (135°).
b. Orient the heat sink so that the thermal grease patch is nearer the rear of the server (directly above the microprocessor); then, remove the protective plastic cover from the bottom of the heat sink.

Heat-sink-release lever

c. Align the heat sink, grease side down, with the microprocessor and retentionbracket.

d. Slide the rear flange of the heat sink into the opening beneath the retention-bracketspring.

e. With the heat sink on top of the microprocessor, press firmly on the heat sink so that it slips into the retention bracket.

Note: When the heat sink is seated correctly, the heat-sink-release lever starts to cam toward the rear of the server.

f. Close the heat-sink-release lever by pressing it first down, then toward the microprocessor, then up until it hooks on the retention bracket. You might notice an audible snap as you rotate the lever, due to the spring force beneath the microprocessor; this is normal.

  1. Insert the voltage regulator module (VRM) into the VRM connector (see the illustration on page 47).

a. Open the retaining clips on the VRM connector.

b. Touch the static-protective package containing the VRM to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the new VRM from the package.

Note: The VRM support bracket is attached to the VRM.

c. Align the VRM with the VRM connector.

d. Slide the VRM into the connector. The support bracket hooks into the chassis and the retaining clips snap into the locked position when the VRM is firmly seated in the connector.

  1. If you have other options to install, do so now; otherwise, close the microprocessor air baffle (see "Opening and closing the microprocessor air baffle" on page 33), replace the frame-support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support bracket" on page 32), and go to "Completing the installation" on page60.

Installinganadapter

The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing an adapter.

- Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this section. If you must change the switch setting or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter.

- Read the documentation that comes with the operating system.

- The server comes with three PCI slots and three PCI-X slots.

SlotnumberComments
Slot 1PCI Express x16Supports any PCI Express adapter that is in the ServerProven list (go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ for the list of supportedadapters)
Slot 2PCI 32-bit, 33 MHz, 5 V signallingSupports half-length PCI adapterSupports Remote Supervisor Adapter II
Slot 3PCI 32-bit, 33 MHz, 5 V signallingSupports full-length PCI adapter
Slot 4PCI-X 64-bit, 133 MHz, 3.3 V signallingSupports full-length PCI or PCI-X adapter

Slot 6PCI-X 64-bit, 100 MHz, 3.3 V signallingSupports full-length PCI or PCI-X adapter

- You can install any supported PCI Express adapter in slot 1. For a list of supported PCI Express adapters for the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/.

- You can install full-length adapters in PCI and PCI-X slots 3, 4, 5, and 6.

- You can install only 32-bit adapters in the 32-bit PCI slots 2 and 3, and 64-bit adapters in the 64-bit PCI-X slots 4, 5, and 6.

• The PCI bus configuration is as follows:

  • PCI slot 1 is on the PCI Express x16 bus.
  • The 32-bit PCI slots 2 and 3 and the integrated ATI Radeon 7000M video controller are on the 33 MHz PCI bus.
  • The 64-bit PCI-X slot 4 is on the 133 MHz PCI-X bus, channel B.

- The 64-bit PCI-X slots 5 and 6 and the integrated Adaptec 7902 SCSI controller are on the 100 MHz PCI-X bus, channel A. If an optional ServeRAID 6i+ adapter is installed, it overrides the standard functionality of the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities and forces PCI-X slots 5 and 6 to 66 MHz.

- The optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II can be installed only in PCI slot 2. Use the ribbon cable that comes with this adapter to connect it to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II connector on the system board.

- If you install the optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II, you must disconnect the video (monitor) cable from the server video connector and connect it to the optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II.

- The optional ServeRAID 6i+ adapter can be installed only in PCI-X slot 5.

  • The server scans the PCI Express x16 expansion slot 1, PCI expansion slots 2 and 3, and PCI-X expansion slots 4 through 6 to assign system resources. Then, the server starts the PCI devices in the following order, if you have not changed the default startup sequence: PCI Express x16 expansion slot 1; system-board integrated drive electronics (IDE), Serial ATA (SATA), or SCSI devices (including the optional ServeRAID 6i+ adapter); and then PCI-X expansion slots 4 through 6.
  • For a list of supported options for the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support.

See "System board option connectors" on page 85 for the locations of expansion slots on the system board.

Complete the following steps to install an adapter:

  1. Read Appendix B, "Safety information," on page 143, and the "Installation guidelines" on page 25
  2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices; then, disconnect all external cables and powercords.
  3. Remove the side cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 28).
  4. Follow the cabling instructions, if any, that come with the adapter. Route the adapter cables before you install the adapter.
  5. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches, if any.
  6. Remove the frame-support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support bracket" on page 32).
  7. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked) position and remove it from the server. Rotate the front adapter-support bracket to the open position. If you are installing a smaller adapter, remove only the rear adapter-retentionbracket.
  8. Remove the expansion-slot cover. From the rear of the server, press on the slot cover. Grasp it and pull it out of the expansion slot. Store it in a safe place for future use.

Notes:

a. If you are installing an adapter into slot 3, move the expansion-slot cover with the SCSI knockout to a vacant adapter slot.
b. Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This maintains the electronic emissions standards of the server and ensures proper ventilationofservercomponents.
9. Touch the static-protective package containing the adapter to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the adapter from the static-protective package. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter.
10. If you are installing a full-length adapter, remove the blue adapter guide (if any) from the end of the adapter.

Adapter guide

  1. Carefully grasp the adapter by the top edge or upper corners, and align it with the expansion-slot guides; then, press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot. Move the adapter directly from the static-protective package to the expansionslot.

Attention: Make sure that the adapter is correctly seated in the expansion slot before you turn on the server. Incomplete installation of an adapter might damage the system board or the adapter.

  1. Connect required cables to the adapter. Route cables so that they do not block the flow of air from the fans. If you are installing an optional SCSI adapter, see "Cabling an optional SCSI adapter" for additional information.
  2. If you have other adapters to install or remove, do so now.
  3. If you have installed a full-length adapter, rotate the front adapter-support bracket to the closed (locked) position.
  4. Reinstall the rear adapter-retention bracket; then, rotate the bracket to the closed(locked)position.

Note: If any adapters in the server are large or have heavy cables attached to them, you can remove the rear adapter-retention bracket and secure all of the adapters with expansion-slot screws. The expansion-slot screws are stored on the frame-support bracket.

  1. If you have other options to install, do so now; otherwise, replace the frame-support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support bracket" on page 32) and go to "Completing the installation" on page 60.

Cabling an optional SCSI adapter

If the server model supports internal SCSI hard disk drives, you can install an optional SCSI adapter to control them. With a SCSI adapter installed, you can configure the internal hard disk drives into disk arrays that use higher levels of RAID functionality than the integrated SCSI controller. You can also cable a SCSI adapter to external hard disk drives. See the SCSI adapter option documentation for complete instructions for installing a SCSI adapter and for additional information aboutSCSIadapters.

Notes:

  1. This information in this section does not apply to the ServeRAID 6i+ adapter, which uses the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities on the system board.
  2. If the server model supports internal SATA hard disk drives, installing an optional SCSI adapter enables you to add external SCSI tape drives to the server. The information in this section does not apply to a SCSI adapter that will be used to add external SCSI tape drives.
  3. An optional SCSI adapter or cable option is required to connect external SCSI devices.

Complete the following steps to cable an optional SCSI adapter:

  1. Install the SCSI adapter (see "Installing an adapter" on page 51).
  2. Connect the SCSI signal cable to the adapter and to one or more of the signal-cable connectors on the rear of the SCSI devices.
  3. Connect the SCSI-activity-indicator cable to the adapter and to the SCSI LED connector (JSCSI) on the system board (see "System board internal connectors" onpage86).

  1. Complete the installation of the optional SCSI adapter.

Cabling an optional SATA adapter

If the server model supports internal SATA hard disk drives, the integrated SATA controller supports only two hard disk drives. You can install an optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter in the server to support up to four SATA hard disk drives and to control them. With a ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter installed, you can configure the internal hard disk drives into disk arrays that use higher levels of RAID functionality than the integrated SATA controller. See the ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter option documentation for complete instructions for installing a SATA adapter in the server and for additional information about SATA adapters.

Complete the following steps to cable an optional SATA adapter:

  1. Install the SATA adapter (see "Installing an adapter" on page 51).
  2. Disconnect the two SATA cables from the system board Serial ATA connectors and connect them to the SATA adapter. These are the signal cables for the SATA drives in bays 7 and 6 (see "System board internal connectors" on page 86).

Updating the server configuration

When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal option or an external SCSI device, you might receive a message that the configuration has changed. The Configuration/Setup Utility program starts automatically so that you can save the new configuration settings. See the User's Guide for additional information.

Some options have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that comes with each option for information about installing device drivers.

If the server has a ServeRAID adapter installed and you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, see the ServeRAID documentation that comes with the server for information about reconfiguring the disk arrays.

Connectingexternaloptions

If you install an optional SCSI adapter, you can attach external SCSI devices, such as a SCSI storage expansion enclosure, to the server.

Note: If the server model supports internal (simple-swap) SATA hard disk drives, installing an optional SCSI adapter enables you to add only external SCSI tape drives to the server.

Complete the following steps to attach an external device:

  1. Review Appendix B, "Safety information," on page 143, "Installation guidelines" on page 25, and the documentation that comes with the option.
  2. Turn off the server and all attached devices.
  3. Follow the instructions that come with the option to prepare it for installation and to connect it to the server.

Note: If you are attaching an external SCSI device, see "Ultra320 SCSI connector" on page 65 for information about SCSI cabling and SCSI IDs.

Installing the server in a rack

An optional Tower-to-Rack Kit is needed to convert the server from a tower model to a rack model. You can then install the server in a rack cabinet. To order a Tower-to-Rack Kit for the server, contact your IBM marketing representative or authorizedreseller.

Input/outputconnectors

The server has the following input/output (I/O) connectors:

•Onemouse

•Onekeyboard

•Oneparallel

- Twoserial

•Onevideo

• Four Universal Serial Bus (USB) V 2.0 (two on front and two on rear)

• One Ethernet (RJ-45)

• One Ultra320 SCSI (some models)

The following illustration shows the locations of these connectors.

Power cords Mouse Keyboard Parallel Serial 1 Video USB 1 USB 2 Ethernet Serial 2 External SCSI knockout

The following sections describe these connectors.

If you have an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II (systems-management adapter) installed in PCI slot 2, the server also has an additional Ethernet connector, an additional serial connector, and an Advanced System Management (ASM) Interconnect connector. See the documentation that comes with the Remote Supervisor Adapter II for more information about the ASM Interconnect network. In addition, if you install the optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II, you must disconnect the video cable from the system board and connect it to the optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II.

Auxiliary-device (pointing-device) connector

Use this connector to connect a mouse or other pointing device. The following illustration shows an auxiliary-device connector.

Connect a Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable to this connector. The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Fast Ethernet standards require Category 5 or highercabling.

For more information about the Ethernet controller, see the User's Guide on the IBM Documentation CD.

Keyboardconnector

Use this connector to connect a PS/2 (non-USB) keyboard to the server. The following illustration shows a keyboard connector.

IBM eServer xSeries 226 - Keyboardconnector - 1

If you attach a keyboard to this connector, USB ports and devices are disabled during the power-on self-test (POST).

Parallelconnector

Use this connector to connect a parallel device. The following illustration shows a parallelconnector.

13 25 14 1

The parallel connector supports three standard Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1284 modes of operation: Standard Parallel Port (SPP), Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP), and Extended Capability Port (ECP). If you configure the parallel port to operate in bidirectional mode, it supports the ECP and EPP modes of operation. To configure the parallel port, use the Devices and I/O Ports option in the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see "Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 10). If you configure the parallel port to operate in bidirectional mode, use an IEEE 1284-compliant cable that does not exceed 3 meters (9.8 ft).

Serialconnectors

Use the serial connectors to connect serial devices. The following illustration shows aserialconnector.

IBM eServer xSeries 226 - Serialconnectors - 1

Ultra320SCSIconnector

You can install up to four internal SCSI devices in some models of the server. These models come with one SCSI cable that is connected from the internal SCSI connector to the standard hot-swap-drive backplane. You can attach additional internal SCSI devices to the other internal SCSI connector, or you can use the connector to attach external SCSI devices. To connect external SCSI devices, remove the SCSI knockout from the rear of the server and secure the free end of an optional cable in the new opening.

If you want to attach external SCSI devices to the server without using the internal SCSI channel, you must install an optional SCSI adapter.

Notes:

  1. External SCSI devices connected to internal SCSI channel will operate asynchronously.
  2. If you install a PCI RAID adapter to configure and manage the internal hot-swap drives, you must move the SCSI cable from the system-board SCSI connector to an internal channel connector on the RAID adapter (see "Cabling an optional SCSI adapter" on page 54).

An optional external SCSI connector might be installed on the rear of the server. Use this connector to connect external SCSI devices. The following illustration shows a SCSI standard 68-pin, female D-shell SCSI connector.

34 68 1 35

The server has a dual-channel SCSI controller. This dual-channel controller supports two independent, Ultra320 SCSI channels that support up to 15 SCSI devices each. The SCSI connectors for the channels are on the system board. The controller has the following features:

  • Double-transition clocking to achieve up to 320 MBps (megabytes per second) data-transferrates
  • Domain name validation to negotiate compatible data-transfer speeds with each device
    • Cyclic-redundancy checking (CRC) to improve data reliability
  • An active terminator for SCSI bus termination

Each SCSI device that is connected to a SCSI controller must have a unique SCSI ID. This ID enables the SCSI controller to identify the device and ensure that different devices on the same SCSI channel do not attempt to transfer data simultaneously. SCSI devices that are connected to different SCSI channels can have duplicate SCSI IDs.

The hot-swap-drive backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the internal hot-swap drive bays. However, when you attach an external SCSI device to an optional SCSI adapter, you must set a unique ID for the device. See the information that comes with the device for instructions to set its SCSI ID.

You can attach external SCSI devices using an optional SCSI adapter. To select and order the correct adapter for use with external devices, contact your IBM marketing representative or authorized reseller. When using an optional SCSI adapter, you must also connect the SCSI adapter to the SCSI LED connector on the system board to receive an indication of SCSI hard disk drive activity.

Note: On server models that support SATA hard disk drives, you can attach only an external SCSI tape drive to an optional SCSI adapter.

See "System board internal connectors" on page 86 for the location of the SCSI connectors. For information about the maximum length of SCSI cable, see the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) SCSI standards on the ANSI Web site at http://www.ansi.org. Adhering to these standards will help to ensure that the serveroperatescorrectly.

Universal Serial Bus connectors

Use a Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 connector to connect a USB device. USB 2.0 technology transfers data at up to 480 Mb per second (Mbps) with a maximum of 127 devices and a maximum signal distance of 5 meters (16 ft) per segment (if the device that is attached to the server is a USB 2.0 device). If multiple USB devices are attached to the server, the USB hub must be 2.0; otherwise, all USB 2.0 devices will transfer data at 12 Mbps. Using Plug and Play technology, USB devices are configured automatically. The following illustration shows a USB connector.

IBM eServer xSeries 226 - Universal Serial Bus connectors - 1

Use a 4-pin cable to connect a device to a USB connector. If you need to connect more USB devices than the server has USB connectors for, use a USB hub to connect additional devices.

If you connect a PS/2 (non-USB) keyboard to the keyboard connector, USB ports and devices are disabled during POST.

If you connect a USB keyboard that has a mouse port, the keyboard emulates a mouse, and you cannot disable the mouse settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

Videoconnector

Use the video connector to connect a monitor to the server. The connector is dark blue to help you identify it. The following illustration shows an industry-standard 15-pin analog video connector on the rear of the server.

Chapter 6. Symptom-to-FRU index

This index supports xSeries 226 servers.

Notes:

  1. Check the configuration before you replace a CRU or FRU. Configuration problems can cause false errors and symptoms.
  2. For IBM devices that are not supported by this index, see the documentation for that device.
  3. Always start with "General checkout" on page 11.

The symptom-to-FRU index lists symptoms, errors, and the possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first. Use this symptom-to-FRU index to help you decide which FRUs to have available when servicing the server.

The first column of the two-column tables in this index lists error codes or messages, and the last column lists one or more suggested actions or FRUs to replace. Take the action (or replace the FRU) that is suggested first in the list, and then try the server again to see whether the problem has been corrected.

Note: Try reseating a suspected component or reconnecting a cable before replacing the component.

The POST BIOS code displays POST error codes and messages on the screen.

Errorsymptoms

You can use the error symptom table to find solutions to problems that have definite symptoms.

If you cannot find the problem in the error symptom charts, run the diagnostic programs to test the server.

If you have just added new software or a new option and the server is not working, complete the following steps before using the error symptom charts:

  1. Remove the software or device that you just added.
  2. Run the diagnostic tests to determine whether the server is running correctly.
  3. Reinstall the new software or new device.

In the following table, if the entry in the FRU/action column is a suggested action, perform that action; if it is the name of a component, reseat the component and replace it if necessary. The most likely cause of the symptom is listed first.

Note: See Chapter 7, “Parts listing Type 8488 and 8648,” on page 129 to determine which components are replaceable by the customer (CRU), and which components must be replaced by a field service technician (FRU).

  1. Isolate between SCSI subsystem and controller by disconnecting all SCSI cables from suspect card, and restart.

Attention: Do not press F5. Doing so changes the computer configuration. If an ISPR error is still present, perform the following actions until the error is no longerpresent:

a. Reseat the controller
b. Replacethecontroller

Notes:

a. SCSI channel cable details, if any, appear elsewhere in this publication.
b. The adapter/controller detects a configuration change. Do not select Save Changes. Instead, press F10 to bypass any options to this effect.

  1. If ISPR error is EF10 after disconnecting cables:

a. Identify which channel is causing the error by the second digit (Z) of the original ISPR code as indicated in the following table.

Note: ServeRAID-4H controllers have 4 channels; ServeRAID-4L and -4Lx controllers have only one channel; and ServeRAID-4M and -4Mx controllers have 2 channels. ServeRAID-5i and ServeRAID-6i controllers have no channels. The ServeRAID-5i and ServeRAID-6i use the channel connectors of the onboard integrated SCSI controller.

Undeterminedproblems

Use the information in this section if the diagnostic tests did not identify the failure, the devices list is incorrect, or the system is inoperative.

Damaged data in CMOS memory or damaged BIOS code can cause undetermined problems. To reset the CMOS data, use the CMOS recovery jumper to override the power-on password and clear the CMOS memory; see "Erasing a lost or forgotten password (clearing CMOS)" on page 19. If you suspect that the BIOS code is damaged, see "Recovering from a POST/BIOS update failure" on page 18

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

  1. Turn off the server.
  2. Be sure 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 each time):
    • Any external devices
  4. Surge suppressor device (on the server)
    • Modem, printer, mouse, or non-IBM devices
    •Eachadapter
    •Drives
  5. Memory modules (minimum requirement = 512 MB (2 banks of 256 MB DIMMs))

Note: Minimum operating requirements are:

a. One power supply
b. Power cage assembly, if installed
c. Systemboard
d. Onemicroprocessor

e. Memory module (with a minimum of two 256 MB DIMMs)

  1. Turn on the server. If the problem remains, suspect the following FRUs in the orderlisted:

•Powersupply

• Power cage assembly, if installed

- Systemboard

Notes:

  1. If the problem goes away when you remove an adapter from the system and replacing that adapter does not correct the problem, suspect the system board.

  2. If you suspect a networking problem and all the system tests pass, suspect a network cabling problem external to the system.

Problem determination tips

Because of the variety of hardware and software combinations that can be encountered, use the following information to assist you in problem determination. If possible, have this information available when requesting assistance from Service Support and Engineering functions.

• Machine type and model
- Microprocessor or hard disk upgrades

- Failuresymptom

  • Do diagnostics fail?
  • What message appears in the diagnostics log?
  • What, when, where, single, or multiple systems?
    – Is the failure repeatable?
  • Has this configuration ever worked?
  • If it has been working, what changes were made prior to it failing?
    – Is this the original reported failure?

• Diagnosticsversion

- Type and version level

•Hardwareconfiguration

- Print (print screen) configuration currently in use

-BIOSlevel

- Operating system software

- Type and version level

Note: To eliminate confusion, identical systems are considered identical only if they:

  • Are the exact machine type and models
    • Have the same BIOS level
  • Have the same adapters/attachments in the same locations
  • Have the same address jumpers/terminators/cabling
    • Have the same software versions and levels
    • Have the same diagnostics code (version)
  • Have the same configuration options set in the system
  • Have the same setup for the operation system control files

Comparing the configuration and software set-up between “working” and “non-working” systems will often lead to problem resolution.

Appendix A. Getting help and technical assistance

If you need help, service, or technical assistance or just want more information about IBM products, you will find a wide variety of sources available from IBM to assist you. This appendix contains information about where to go for additional information about IBM and IBM products, what to do if you experience a problem with your xSeries or IntelliStation system, and whom to call for service, if it is necessary.

Beforeyoucall

Before you call, make sure that you have taken these steps to try to solve the problemyourself:

  • Check all cables to make sure that they are connected.
  • Check the power switches to make sure that the system is turned on.
  • Use the troubleshooting information in your system documentation, and use the diagnostic tools that come with your system. Information about diagnostic tools is in the Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD or in the IntelliStation Hardware Maintenance Manual at the IBM Support Web site.
  • Go to the IBM Support Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support to check for technical information, hints, tips, and new device drivers or to submit a request for information.

You can solve many problems without outside assistance by following the troubleshooting procedures that IBM provides in the online help or in the publications that are provided with your system and software. The information that comes with your system also describes the diagnostic tests that you can perform. Most xSeries and IntelliStation systems, operating systems, and programs come with information that contains troubleshooting procedures and explanations of error messages and error codes. If you suspect a software problem, see the information for the operating system or program.

Usingthedocumentation

Information about your IBM xSeries or IntelliStation system and preinstalled software, if any, is available in the documentation that comes with your system. That documentation includes printed books, online books, README files, and help files. See the troubleshooting information in your system documentation for instructions for using the diagnostic programs. The troubleshooting information or the diagnostic programs might tell you that you need additional or updated device drivers or other software. IBM maintains pages on the World Wide Web where you can get the latest technical information and download device drivers and updates. To access these pages, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support and follow the instructions. Also, you can order publications through the IBM Publications Ordering System at http://www.elink.ibmlink.ibm.com/public/applications/publications/cgibin/pbi.cgi.

Getting help and information from the World Wide Web

Appendix B. Safety information

Note: The service procedures are designed to help you isolate problems. They are written with the assumption that you have model-specific training on all computers, or that are familiar with the computers, functions, terminology, and service information provided in this manual.

The following section contains the safety information that you need to be familiar with before servicing an IBM computer.

Generalsafety

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

  • Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance.
  • When lifting any heavy object:

  • Ensure you can 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 attempt to lift.
  • Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any objects that weigh more than 16 kg (35 lb) or objects that you think are too heavy for you.

  • Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or that makes the equipment unsafe.

  • Before you start the machine, ensure that other service representatives and the customer's personnel are not in a hazardous position.
  • Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you are servicing the machine.
  • Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over it.
  • Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a machine. Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.
  • Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a nonconductive clip, approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.
  • Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your clothing.

Remember: Metal objects are good electrical conductors.

  • Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling soldering, cutting wire, attaching springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
  • After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety device that is worn or defective.
  • Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the customer.

Electricalsafety

IBM eServer xSeries 226 - Electricalsafety - 1

CAUTION:

Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables can be hazardous. To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, disconnect the attached power cords, telecommunication systems, networks, and modems before you open the server covers, unless instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration procedures.

Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.

Important: Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles covered with a soft material that does not insulate you when working with live electrical currents.

Many customers have, near their equipment, rubber floor mats that contain small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock.

  • Find the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch, disconnecting switch, or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then operate the switch or unplug the power cord quickly.
  • Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near equipment that has hazardous voltages.
  • Disconnect all power before:

  • Performing a mechanical inspection
    – Working near power supplies

  • Removing or installing main units

  • Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the customer to power-off the wall box that supplies power to the machine and to lock the wall box in the off position.

  • If you need to work on a machine that has exposed electrical circuits, observe the following precautions:

- Ensure that another person, familiar with the power-off controls, is near you.

Remember: Another person must be there to switch off the power, if necessary.

- Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment; keep the other hand in your pocket or behind your back.

Remember: There must be a complete circuit to cause electrical shock. By observing the above rule, you may prevent a current from passing through yourbody.

  • When using testers, set the controls correctly and use the approved probe leads and accessories for that tester.
  • Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if necessary) to insulate you from grounds such as metal floor strips and machine frames.

Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages; these instructions are in the safety sections of maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high voltages.

- Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition.

  • Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.
  • Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. First, check that it has been powered-off.
  • Always look carefully for possible hazards in your work area. Examples of these hazards are moist floors, nongrounded power extension cables, power surges, and missing safety grounds.
  • Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective surface of a plastic dental mirror. The surface is conductive; such touching can cause personal injury and machinedamage.
  • Do not service the following parts with the power on when they are removed from their normal operating places in a machine:

– Power supply units
-Pumps
- Blowers and fans
-Motorgenerators
and similar units. (This practice ensures correct grounding of the units.)

• If an electrical accident occurs:

– Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
- Switch off power.
– Send another person to get medical aid.

Safetyinspectionguide

The intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potentially unsafe conditions on these products. Each machine, as it was designed and built, had required safety items installed to protect users and service personnel from injury. This guide addresses only those items. However, good judgment should be used to identify potential safety hazards due to attachment of non-IBM 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 CRT face or bulging capacitor
  • Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware

The guide consists of a series of steps presented in a checklist. Begin the checks with the power off, and the power cord disconnected.

Checklist:

  1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or sharp edges).
  2. Turn off the computer. Disconnect the power cord.
  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 frame ground.
b. The power cord should be the appropriate type as specified in the parts listings.
c. Insulation must not be 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 unit for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water or other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.
  4. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
  5. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been removedortamperedwith.

Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices

Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (ICs) should be considered sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between objects. Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the server, the part, the work mat, and the person handling the part are all at the same charge.

Notes:

  1. Use product-specific ESD procedures when they exceed the requirements noted here.
  2. Make sure that the ESD-protective devices you use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effective.

When handling ESD-sensitive parts:

  • Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.
  • Avoid contact with other people.
  • Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body.
  • Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when you are wearing a wrist strap.
  • Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface. The mat is especially useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices.
  • Select a grounding system, such as those in the following list, to provide protection that meets the specific service requirement.

Note: The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect againstESDdamage.

  • Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire ground.
  • Use an ESD common ground or reference point when working on a double-insulated or battery-operated system. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these systems.
  • Use the round ground-prong of the ac plug on ac-operated computers.

Groundingrequirements

Electrical grounding of the computer is required for operator safety and correct system function. Proper grounding of the electrical outlet can be verified by a certifiedelectrician.
