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.
Danger Notices
A danger notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to people.
DANGER
