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.

Step 2. Observe this Safety Notice During Installation
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.
CAUTION:

2Installation Guide

Step 3. Checking the Customer Environment
Check the customer environment as follows:
vVerify with your installation planning representative or the customer that any
station-protector boxes used are correctly installed according to the
Site and
Hardware Planning Information
manual.
vMake sure the customer is aware that the recommended temperature for this system
is 24° C (75° F) and the recommended relative humidity is 45%. The following are
the acceptable operating ranges:
– Temperature - 10° C (50° F) to 38° C (100° F)
– Humidity - 8% to 80%
vMake sure the customer is aware that the front and rear service clearances around
the central electronics complex (CEC), primary I/O, and secondary I/O drawer and
rack should be 36 inches (900mm). The service clearances are important for proper
air circulation, weight distribution, and safety for both the service representative and
the customer.
Step 4. Checking Customer Outlets
CAUTION:
Do not touch the receptacle or the receptacle faceplate with anything other than
your test probes before you have met the requirements in substep 8 below.
This system may be configured as 220 V ac or -48 V dc power. If the system is going
to be used in a dc environment, you will need to have dc power cables, and a dc power
supply.
Check the customer outlets as follows:
__ 1. Have the customer locate and turn off the branch circuit CB (circuit breaker).
Attach tag S229-0237, which reads “Do Not Operate.”
Note: All measurements are made with the receptacle faceplate in the normally
installed position.
Chapter 1. Setting Up the System 3

__ 2. Some receptacles are enclosed in metal housings. On receptacles of this type,
perform the following steps:
a. Check for less than 1 volt from the receptacle case to any grounded metal
structure in the building, such as a raised-floor metal structure, water pipe,
building steel, or similar structure.
b. Check for less than 1 volt from receptacle ground pin to a grounded point in
the building.
Note: If the receptacle case or faceplate is painted, be sure the probe tip
penetrates the paint and makes good electrical contact with the metal.
__ 3. Check the resistance from the ground pin of the receptacle to the receptacle
case. Check resistance from the ground pin to building ground. The reading
should be less than 1.0 ohm, which indicates the presence of a continuous
grounding conductor.
__ 4. If any of the three checks made in substep 2 are not correct, ask the customer to
remove the power from the branch circuit and make the wiring corrections; then
check the receptacle again.
Note: Do not use the digital multimeter to measure grounding resistance.
__ 5. Check for infinite resistance between the phase pins. This is a check for a wiring
short.
CAUTION:
If the reading is other than infinity, do not proceed! Have the customer
make necessary wiring corrections before continuing. Do not turn on the
branch circuit CB until all the above steps are satisfactorily completed.
__ 6. Have the customer turn on the branch circuit CB. Measure for appropriate
voltages between phases. If no voltage is present on the receptacle case or
grounded pin, the receptacle is safe to touch.
__ 7. With an appropriate meter, verify that the voltage at the outlet is correct.
__ 8. Verify that the grounding impedance is correct by using the ECOS 1020, 1023,
B7106, or an appropriately approved ground impedance tester.
Note: Do
not use the 120-volt convenience outlets inside a machine to power
the tester.
4Installation Guide

Step 5. Setting Up Rails in the Rack
If your system arrived installed in a rack with all the cables attached, skip to “Step 9.
Setting Up Attached Devices” on page 17. If not, continue with this step.
Note: Read the following drawer placement notes, and Caution statements before
installing the RS/6000 Enterprise Server Model H80, or Eserver pSeries 660
Models 6H0 and 6H1 rails.
Note: Service clearance may be required on the early Model H80 I/O and CEC
drawers. Refer to the following notes for specific instructions.
Notes:
1. The 7014 Model T00 and T42 racks have EIA numbers visible from the front and
rear that start with 1 (at the bottom) to 36, or 42 (at the top). Therefore, the rail
surface that a drawer sits on is approximately in line with the lower edge of the EIA
position for that drawer. The lowest EIA number completely occupied by a drawer is
said to be that drawer’s EIA position. An EIA number is also used in identifying
cables attached to that drawer. The
model H80, 660 models 6H0 and 6H1 I/O and
CEC drawers occupy 5 EIA units each.
2. Because of service restriction for the CEC drawer (see note 6), the I/O drawer
should be installed above the CEC drawer as shown in the figure under note 8 on
page 7.
3. The system has two service positions. One position is with the drawer pulled out the
front of the rack, and the other position is with the drawer pulled out the rear of the
rack.
4. Two stabilizers are required on the rack before installing the system if the rack is
not bolted to the floor. One must be installed at the bottom front of the rack unit,
and the other at the bottom rear of the rack unit. Both must be installed prior to
servicing the system.
5. If the system is the only system in the rack, follow these placement guidelines:
v7014 T42 rack, start from bottom or center the drawers about the 17th EIA
location.
v7014 T00 rack, start from bottom or mount rails so that the top drawer will not
exceed 32nd EIA location.
Note: In order to address concurrent serviceability issues on racks with multiple
systems installed, it is suggested that the 1st EIA unit be left vacant to
allow the bottom drawer room to pass over the cables when the drawer is
moved into the rear service position.
v7014 S00 rack, there are no specific guidelines for this rack.
6. The CEC drawer requires 5 EIA units (8.75 inches) service clearance from the top
of the 7014 Model T00 and T42 rack. It should never be installed in the top most
position in these racks.
7. Early H80 I/O drawers require 4 EIA units service clearance from the top of the rack
when placed in their rear service position. These early drawers have a rear service
stop latch 11.25 inches (285.75mm) from the rack mounting flange at the front of
the drawer. The redesigned drawers have a rear service stop latch 5.75 inches from
Chapter 1. Setting Up the System 5

the rack mounting flange at the front of the drawer and do not have this service
clearance requirement.
