Electrical Safety
Observe the following safety instructions any time you are connecting or disconnecting devices attached to
the workstation.
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of
the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to
ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for the system unit
and all attached devices are unplugged.
When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system, ensure that the power
cables for those devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,
disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to prevent a possible
shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials.
During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers, telephones, or
station protectors for communications lines.
D05
CAUTION:
This product is equipped with a three-wire power cable and plug for the user’s safety. Use this
power cable with a properly grounded electrical outlet to avoid electrical shock.

DANGER
To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect all power cables from the electrical outlet before
relocating the system.

Laser Safety Information
CAUTION:
This product may contain a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or laser module on a PCI card, which are class 1
laser products.
C30
Laser Compliance
All lasers are certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for class
1 laser products. Outside the U.S., they are certified to be in compliance with the IEC 825 (first edition
1984) as a class 1 laser product. Consult the label on each part for laser certification numbers and
approval information.
CAUTION:
All IBM laser modules are designed so that there is never any human access to laser radiation
above a class 1 level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service conditions.
Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser
modules that operate at greater than class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end
of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle. Only trained service personnel should perform the
inspection or repair of optical fiber cable assemblies and receptacles.

Data Integrity and Verification
IBM computer systems contain mechanisms designed to reduce the possibility of undetected data corruption
or loss. This risk, however, cannot be eliminated. Users who experience unplanned outages, system failures,
power fluctuations or outages, or component failures must verify the accuracy of operations performed and
data saved or transmitted by the system at or near the time of the outage or failure. In addition, users must
establish procedures to ensure that there is independent data verification before relying on such data in
sensitive or critical operations. Users should periodically check the IBM support websites for updated
information and fixes applicable to the system and related software.

Ergonomic Information
After you have set up your system, we encourage you to visit the Healthy Computing Web site. Good
ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your workstation and to avoid discomfort. This means
that the equipment and the workplace should be arranged to suit your individual needs and the kind of
work you do.
The Healthy Computing Web site gives ergonomic guidelines to help you understand the ergonomic
considerations that you should know when working at a computer workstation. The address is:

Step 2. Need Help?
If you encounter difficulties while setting up your system unit, contact your sales representative for
assistance.
Step 3. Read the Safety Notices
Before continuing, read the following safety information. Do not plug any cables into the system unit,
adapters, or electrical outlets until you have reviewed this information. Make sure none of the power cords
are connected before continuing to the next step.
In the system you are about to set up:
vThe ac power-interface connector is considered the main power disconnect device.
vThis system has redundant power supply capabilities. Meaning your system has the capability of
running two power supplies simultaneously. When instructed to disconnect the power source, ensure
that all power cables have been unplugged.
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of
the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to
ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for the system unit
and all attached devices are unplugged.
When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system, ensure that the power
cables for those devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,
disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to prevent a possible
shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials.
During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers, telephones, or
station protectors for communications lines.

DANGER
To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect all power cables from the electrical outlet before
relocating the system.

Chapter 1. Setting Up the System 3

Step 4. Check the Power Source
This system can be equipped with two power supplies. When two power supplies are installed, the power
source to the system unit should be provided on two separate power circuits. If the power is supplied this
way, when there is an interruption on one circuit, the system will keep running on the other circuit.
Step 5. Are All of the Internal Options Installed?
These instructions are for systems that have internal options (such as adapters, disk drives, or memory
upgrades) already installed.
If you have internal options that are not installed, install them now. Refer to Chapter 3, “Installing Options”,
on page 23, and then return here.
Step 6. Position the System Unit and Display
Position the system unit and display (optional) at or near their installed location.
Observe the following guidelines when you are positioning the system unit:
vThe system unit weighs between 34 kg (75 pounds) and 41 kg (90 pounds). Do not try to lift the system
unit by yourself.
vDisplays and ASCII terminals can weigh as much as 35 kg (77 pounds). Use caution when lifting or
moving the display or ASCII terminal.
vLeave enough space around the system unit to safely and easily complete the setup procedures.
vObserve standard ergonomic guidelines while arranging your system unit so that you can work
comfortably and safely. For more information on arranging your workstation, visit the Healthy Computing
Web address at: http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/healthycomputing.
vBe sure to maintain at least 51 mm (2 inches) of space on the sides of the system unit and 152 mm (6
inches) at the rear of the system unit to allow the system unit to cool properly. The front of the system
requires a minimum of 76 mm (3 inches) of space. Blocking the air vents can cause overheating, which
might result in a malfunction or permanent damage to the system unit.
vPlace the system unit in a location where it can safely and easily reach any necessary power outlets
and network connections.
vPlace the display or ASCII terminal in a stable and sturdy location.
