Upgrade Operations Console to twinaxial console
Before you begin
This feature is customer installable. You can elect not to do this installation
yourself. You may contact IBM
®
or an authorized dealer to make arrangements for
them to perform the feature installation for a fee.
You need to allow additional time to complete your jobs, back up your system,
perform an initial program load (IPL) of your system, and verify your hardware
configuration.
When you use these instructions, you may do some of the following:
vRemove the system unit covers.
vInstall your new hardware.
vInstall covers.
vPerfrom an IPL of your operating system.
vVerify your new hardware configuration.
Some of the figures in these instructions may not look exactly like the system unit
that you have. However, the steps to perform the task are the same.
__ 1. Ensure that you have a current backup of your system (including operating
systems, licensed programs, and data).
__ 2. Ensure that you take a few minutes to become familiar with these
instructions.
__ 3. If there are incorrect, missing, or visibly damaged parts, contact one of the
following:
vYour authorized dealer
vIBM Rochester Manufacturing Automated Information Line (R-MAIL)
–1-800-300-8751 (United States)
–1-507-253-5242 (worldwide)
__ 4. If you encounter difficulties during the installation, contact your authorized
service provider or your authorized dealer.
__ 5. Determine if there are any existing PTF prerequisites before you install your
new feature. Go to the following Web site:
http://www-912.ibm.com/supporthome.nsf/document/10000051
a. Select All Documents.
b. Select Collapse.
c. Select General Information.
d. Select Offerings.
e. Select Feature Prerequisites.
f. Select Customer Install Features Prerequisites.
g. Locate your feature number and OS/400
®
release, and check the
prerequisites.
Power off the system unit
__ 1. Ensure that all jobs are complete.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2000, 2003 1

__ 2. When all jobs are complete, type pwrdwnsys *immed on a command line and
press Enter.
Note: Should you encounter difficulties during the installation, contact your
authorized dealer or service provider.
__ 3. When the unit is completely powered down, disconnect all PCs from the
system unit. Power off all devices, such as printers and displays, that are
connected to the system unit.
__ 4. Unplug any power cords, such as printers and displays, from electrical
outlets.
__ 5. Unplug the system-unit power cord and any attached expansion-unit power
cords from the electrical outlet.
__ 6. Refer to “Removing the covers” on page 9 to remove the system unit
covers.
__ 7. Attach the disposable wrist strap to prevent electrostatic discharge from
damaging a device. Attach the adhesive part of the foil to an unpainted
surface on the frame of the unit.
Notes:
a. Follow the same precautions you would use without the wrist strap. The
2209 Disposable Wrist Strap is for static control. It will not increase or
decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on
electrical equipment.
b. Remove the liner from the copper foil at the end, when you unroll the
strap.
c. Attach the copper foil to an exposed, unpainted metal surface on the
frame of the unit (electrical ground).
