Electrical Safety
Observe the following safety instructions any time you are connecting or disconnecting
devices attached to the server.
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 adevice.
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to
prevent apossible 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.
D05
CAUTION:
This product is equipped with athree-wire power cable and plug for the user’s
safety. Use this power cable with aproperly grounded electrical outlet to avoid
electrical shock.
C01
Laser Safety Information
CAUTION:
This product may contain aCD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or laser module on aPCI card,
which are class 1laser products.
C30
Laser Compliance
All lasers are certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR
Subchapter Jfor class 1laser products. Outside the U.S., they are certified to be in
compliance with the IEC 825 (first edition 1984) as aclass 1laser product. Consult the
label on each part for laser certification numbers and approval information.
xii Service Guide

CAUTION:
All IBM laser modules are designed so that there is never any human access to
laser radiation above aclass 1level 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 1power 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.
C25, C26

xiv Service Guide

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.

About This Book
This book provides maintenance information that is specific to the Enterprise Server
Model F80 and Eserver pSeries 620 Models 6F0 and 6F1, as well as to adapters and
attached devices that do not have their own service information. In this book, the
Enterprise Server Model F80 and Eserver pSeries 620 Models 6F0 and 6F1 are
hereafter referred to as the ″system″or the ″server.″
This book also contains Maintenance Analysis Procedures (MAPs) that are not common
to other systems. MAPs that are common to all systems are contained in the RS/6000
and Eserver pSeries Diagnostic Information for Multiple Bus Systems.
This book is used by the service technician to repair system failures. This book
assumes that the service technician has had training on the system unit.
ISO 9000
ISO 9000 registered quality systems were used in the development and manufacturing
of this product.
