Safety and Environmental Notices
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.
Danger Notices
A danger notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to people.
DANGER
An
electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of the
system or the products that attach to the system. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that
the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (RSFTD201)
DANGER
To
prevent a possible electrical shock when installing the system, ensure that the power cords for
all devices are unplugged before installing signal cables. (RSFTD202)
DANGER
To
prevent a possible electrical shock when adding or removing any devices to or from the system,
ensure that the power cords for those devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected
or disconnected. If possible, disconnect all power cords from the existing system before you add or
remove a device. (RSFTD203)
DANGER
To
prevent a possible electrical shock during an electrical storm, do not connect or disconnect
cables or station protectors for communications lines, display stations, printers, or telephones.
(RSFTD003)

DANGER
To
prevent a possible electrical shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical grounds,
use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables. (RSFTD004)
Caution Notices
A caution notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially hazardous to people because of some
existing condition.
CAUTION:
Telecommunications Statement: This unit contains over-voltage circuits between the ac power outlet
and the unit. These circuits meet the standard limits described in International Electrical Commission
(IEC) 664, installation category II. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the power outlet
meets the standards of IEC 664, installation category II. (RSFTC214)
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) and as a class 1 laser product. Consult the label on each part for laser certification numbers and
approval information.
Laser Safety Information
CAUTION:
This product may contain a CD-ROM which is a class 1 laser product. (RSFTC240)
Product Recycling and Disposal
Components of the system, such as structural parts and circuit cards, can be recycled where recycling
facilities exist. IBM does not currently collect and recycle used IBM products from customers in the
United States other than those products that are involved in trade-in programs. Companies are available
to disassemble, reutilize, recycle, or dispose of electronic products. Contact an IBM account representative
for more information.
The system unit contains batteries and circuit boards with lead solder. Before you dispose of this unit,
these batteries and circuit boards must be removed and discarded according to local regulations or
recycled where facilities exist. This book contains specific information on each battery type where
applicable.
Battery Return Program
In the United States, IBM has established a collection process for reuse, recycling, or proper disposal of
used IBM batteries and battery packs. For information on proper disposal of the batteries in this unit,
please contact IBM at 1-800-426-4333. Please have the IBM part number that is listed on the battery
available when you make your call. For information on battery disposal outside the United States, contact
your local waste disposal facility.
Environmental Design
The environmental efforts that have gone into the design of the system signify IBM’s commitment to
improve the quality of its products and processes. Some of these accomplishments include the elimination
of the use of Class I ozone-depleting chemicals in the manufacturing process, reductions in
manufacturing wastes, and increased product energy efficiency. For more information, contact an IBM
account representative.

About Setting Up Your Twinaxial System Unit, SA41-5147
This book will help you complete the set up of your twinaxial console.
Who Should Read This Book
This book is intended for system operators or system administrators who are fairly new or new to iSeries.
This book takes you through some of the basic tasks that have to be done on most iSeries systems.
Prerequisite and related information
Use the iSeries Information Center as your starting point for looking up technical information.
You can access the Information Center two ways:
v From the following Web site:
http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter
v From the iSeries Information Center, SK3T-4091-04 CD-ROM. This CD-ROM ships with your new iSeries
hardware or IBM Operating System/400 software upgrade order. You can also order the CD-ROM from
the IBM Publications Center:
http://www.ibm.com/shop/publications/order
The iSeries Information Center contains new and updated iSeries information such as software and
hardware installation, Linux, WebSphere
®
, Java
™
, high availability, database, logical partitions, CL
commands, and system application programming interfaces (APIs). In addition, it provides advisors and
finders to assist in planning, troubleshooting, and configuring your iSeries hardware and software.
With every new hardware order, you receive the iSeries Setup and Operations CD-ROM, SK3T-4098-02. This
CD-ROM contains IBM Eserver IBM e(logo)server iSeries Access for Windows and the EZ-Setup wizard.
iSeries Access Family offers a powerful set of client and server capabilities for connecting PCs to iSeries
™
servers. The EZ-Setup wizard automates many of the iSeries setup tasks.
