Safety
Safety notices
Safety notices may be printed throughout this guide. DANGER notices warn you of
conditions or procedures that can result in death or severe personal injury.
CAUTION notices warn you of conditions or procedures that can cause personal
injury that is neither lethal nor extremely hazardous. Attention notices warn you of
conditions or procedures that can cause damage to machines, equipment, or
programs.
There are no DANGER notices in this manual.
World trade information
Several countries require the safety information contained in product publications to
be presented in their translation. If this requirement applies to your country, a safety
information booklet is included in the publications package shipped with the product.
The booklet contains the translated safety information with references to the US
English source. Before using a US English publication to install, operate, or service
this IBM®product, you must first become familiar with the related safety information
in the Systems Safety Notices, G229-9054. You should also refer to the booklet any
time you do not clearly understand any safety information in the US English
publications.
Laser safety information
All System z®models can use I/O cards such as PCI adapters, ESCON®, FICON®,
Open Systems Adapter (OSA), InterSystem Coupling-3 (ISC-3), or other I/O
features which are fiber optic based and utilize lasers or LEDs.
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 IEC 60825 as a class 1 laser product. Consult the label on each
part for laser certification numbers and approval information.
CAUTION:
Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system
links with laser modules that operate at greater than Class 1 power levels. For
this reason, never look into the end of an optical fiber cable or open
receptacle. (C027)
CAUTION:
This product contains a Class 1M laser. Do not view directly with optical
instruments. (C028)

Licensed Machine Code
Licensed Machine Code is provided in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the applicable IBM Customer Agreement or other applicable written agreement
between the Customer and IBM.
Licensed Machine Code (LMC) is a fundamental component of the IBMz10 and is
copyrighted and licensed by IBM. Each z10 is delivered with Licensed Machine
Code that is customized to the specific machine ordered. The Licensed Machine
Code enables the z10 to operate in accordance with its Official Published
Specifications.
Model upgrades, feature additions, and system engineering changes may require
updated Licensed Machine Code for the system. Updated Licensed Machine Code
replaces the existing Licensed Machine Code.
Relocation of an z10 requires that the Licensed Machine Code be reinstalled at the
new location. The procedure for relocating a z10, “Discontinuing the System”, is in
the Installation Manual.

Chapter 1. Introduction to physical planning
General planning activities
This chapter is intended to help you prepare your physical site for the installation of
an IBM z10 BC server. Marketing and Installation Planning Representatives are also
available to help you with installation planning. Proper planning for your new system
will facilitate a smooth installation and fast system start up.
The use of the terms, “server”, “processor”, “system” and “all models” in this
publication refer to the IBM z10 BC.
System planning
As part of your system planning activity, you will make decisions about where to
locate your equipment, who will operate the system, and so on. A good plan
ensures that the equipment and materials are ready to use when the z10 BC
arrives.
The type of software (operating system and application programs) that you intend to
use must support the features and devices on the system. You should already be
familiar with your software requirements, but may want to contact your IBM
marketing representative for information on planning for the software.
Planning checklist
General Information for Planning a Physical Site,onResource Link /Planning /
Physical Planning /zSeries®(http://www.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink) provides a
detailed step-by-step procedure for physically planning a computer room installation.
A customized planning aid will be available for your system one day after receipt of
your order in manufacturing. You may obtain access to this aid by registering on
Resource Link. This planning aid will include unique physical planning requirements
based on your system’s specific configuration.
The following checklist identifies installation tasks and responsibilities sequentially,
and is designed for new installations. If you have to renovate your site, you may
need a longer planning cycle.
