Safety and Environmental Notices
Safety Notices
Safety notices may be printed throughout this guide. DANGER notices warn you of
conditions or procedures that can result in death or severe personal injury.
CAUTION notices warn you of conditions or procedures that can cause personal
injury that is neither lethal nor extremely hazardous. Attention notices warn you of
conditions or procedures that can cause damage to machines, equipment, or
programs.
There are no DANGER notices in this manual.
World Trade Information
Several countries require the safety information contained in product publications to
be presented in their national languages. If this requirement applies to your country,
a safety information booklet is included in the publications package shipped with the
product. The booklet contains the safety information in your national language with
references to the US English source. Before using a US English publication to
install, operate, or service this IBM product, you must first become familiar with the
related safety information in the booklet. You should also refer to the booklet any
time you do not clearly understand any safety information in the US English
publications.
Laser Safety Information
All zSeries models can use I/O cards such as PCI adapters, ESCON, FICON,
OSA-Express, InterSystem Coupling-3 (ISC-3), or other I/O features which are fiber
optic based and utilize lasers or LEDs.
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.

Education
To assist in a smooth transition to your new system, it is recommended that your
educational plans include some preliminary training for using the Hardware
Management Console interface. This education should be provided for operators,
system programmers and other users of the Hardware Management Console.
To learn about the interface, consider including the following items for user
education prior to system arrival:
v Learning To Use the S/390 CMOS Console, SK2T-0001
v Hardware Management Console Operations Guide (See Resource Link
™
for the
form number and level that supports the Version of code you are using).
v Support Element Operations Guide (See Resource Link for the form number and
level that supports the Version of code you are using).
There is additional educational material on IBM’s Resource Link web site.

Licensed Internal Code
Licensed Internal Code is provided in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the applicable IBM Customer Agreement or other applicable written agreement
between the Customer and IBM.
Licensed Internal Code (LIC) is a fundamental component of the zSeries 800 and is
copyrighted and licensed by IBM. Each zSeries 800 system is delivered with
Licensed Internal Code that is customized to the specific machine ordered. The
Licensed Internal Code enables the zSeries 800 to operate in accordance with its
Official Published Specifications.
Model upgrades, feature additions, and system engineering changes may require
updated Licensed Internal Code for the system. Updated Licensed Internal Code
replaces the existing Licensed Internal Code.
Relocation of a zSeries 800 requires that the Licensed Internal Code be reinstalled
in the server at the new location. For the procedures for relocating a zSeries 800,

xvi zSeries 800: Installation Manual for Physical Planning

Chapter 1. Introduction to Planning
This chapter of the Physical Planning Manual is intended to help you with planning
pre-installation activities. IBM Marketing and Installation Planning Representatives
are also available to help you with installation planning. Proper planning for your
new system will facilitate a smooth installation and fast system start-up.
The use of the terms, ’processor’, ’system’ and ’all models’ in this publication refer
to the zSeries 800 system.
System Planning
As part of your system planning activity, you will make decisions about where to
locate your equipment, who will operate the system, and so on. A good plan
ensures that the equipment and materials are ready to use when the zSeries 800
system arrives.
You should select an individual to serve as the coordinator for your planning efforts.
One person is generally responsible for most or all of the system planning, but it is
also possible to divide the responsibilities among other people in your business.
The type of software (operating system and application programs) that you intend to
use must support the features and devices on the system. You should already be
familiar with your software requirements, but may want to contact your IBM
marketing representative for information on planning for the software.
