serious the hazards are and whether you can continue before you correct the
problem.
Before you start the safety inspection, make sure that the power is off, and that the
power cord is disconnected.
Each device has required safety items installed to protect users and IBM service
personnel from injury. This guide addresses only those items.
Important: Good judgment must also be used to identify potential safety hazards
due to the attachment of non-IBM features or options not covered by
this inspection guide.
If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine how serious the apparent
hazard could be and whether you can continue without first correcting the
problem. For example, consider the following conditions and their potential safety
hazards:
Electrical hazards (especially primary power)
Primary voltage on the frame can cause serious or lethal electrical shock.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2003, 2008 vii

Explosive hazards
A damaged CRT face or a bulging capacitor can cause serious injury.
Mechanical hazards
Loose or missing items (for example, nuts and screws) can cause serious
injury.
To inspect each SAN Volume Controller node for unsafe conditions, perform the
following steps. If necessary, see any suitable safety publications.
1. Turn off the SAN Volume Controller and disconnect the power cord.
2. Check the frame for damage (loose, broken, or sharp edges).
3. Check the power cables using the following steps:
a. Ensure that the third-wire ground connector is in good condition. Use a
meter to check that the third-wire ground continuity is 0.1 ohm or less
between the external ground pin and the frame ground.
b. Ensure that the power cord is the appropriate type, as specified in the parts
listings.
c. Ensure that the insulation is not worn or damaged.
4. Check for any obvious nonstandard changes, both inside and outside the unit.
Use good judgment about the safety of any such changes.
5. Check inside the SAN Volume Controller for any obvious unsafe conditions,
such as metal particles, contamination, water or other fluids, or marks of
overheating, fire, or smoke damage.
6. Check for worn, damaged, or pinched cables.
7. Ensure that the voltage that is specified on the product-information label
matches the specified voltage of the electrical power outlet. If necessary, verify
the voltage.
8. Inspect the power-supply assemblies and check that the fasteners (screws or
rivets) in the cover of the power-supply unit have not been removed or
disturbed.
9. Before connecting the SAN Volume Controller to the storage area network
(SAN), check the grounding.
External device check
Ensure that you perform an external device check before you install the SAN
Volume Controller.
To conduct an external device check, perform the following steps:
1. Verify that all external covers are present and are not damaged.
2. Ensure that all latches and hinges are in the correct operating condition.
3. If the SAN Volume Controller is not installed in a rack cabinet, check for loose
or broken feet.
4. Check the power cord for damage.
5. Check the external signal cable for damage.
6. Check the cover for sharp edges, damage, or alterations that expose the internal
parts of the device.
7. Correct any problems that you find.
Internal device checks
Ensure that you perform an internal device check before you install the SAN
Volume Controller.
viii IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller: Models 2145-8F2 and 2145-8F4 Hardware Installation Guide

To conduct the internal device check, perform the following steps:
1. Check for any non-IBM changes that might have been made to the device. If
any are present, obtain the “Non-IBM Alteration Attachment Survey,” form
number R009, from the IBM branch office. Complete the form and return it to
the branch office.
2. Check the condition of the inside of the device for any metal or other
contaminants, or any indications of water, other fluid, fire, or smoke damage.
3. Check for any obvious mechanical problems, such as loose components.
4. Check any exposed cables and connectors for wear, cracks, or pinching.
Checking the grounding of a SAN Volume Controller, the
uninterruptible power supply, and the redundant ac-power switch
Ensure that you understand how to check the grounding of a SAN Volume
Controller, the uninterruptible power supply, and the optional redundant ac-power
switch feature.
Ensure that you understand how to check the grounding of a SAN Volume
Controller, the uninterruptible power supply, and the optional redundant ac-power
switch.
To test the grounding of a SAN Volume Controller node, perform the following
steps. Before you start, confirm that you know the SAN Volume Controller model
type and whether you are using redundant ac power. Determine the location of the
signal cables that are attached to the SAN Volume Controller.
When you are asked to test the grounding continuity, use your local procedures to
perform the test. The test is successful if the measured resistance is 0.1 ohm or less.
Attention: Some electrical circuits can be damaged if the external signal cables
are present at the SAN Volume Controller while it is undergoing a grounding test.
1. Ensure that the SAN Volume Controller node is powered off. See “MAP 5350:
Powering off a SAN Volume Controller node” in the IBM System Storage SAN
Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide.
2. Disconnect all signal cables from the SAN Volume Controller node, which
includes the following cables:
vThe fibre-channel cables
vThe Ethernet cable or cables
vThe serial cable that is connected to the uninterruptible power supply
3. Disconnect all signal cables from the uninterruptible power supply.
4. If redundant ac power is not used, disconnect the uninterruptible power-supply
power cable from the site power-distribution unit.
5. If redundant ac power is used, turn off any SAN Volume Controller that is
being supplied from the redundant ac-power switch, and remove the power
cable to this system from the redundant ac-power switch.
6. If redundant ac power is used, disconnect both input power leads from the site
power distribution units.
7. If redundant ac power is not used, test the grounding continuity between a
conductive area on the SAN Volume Controller frame and the ground pin on
the plug of the uninterruptible power-supply input-power cable.
8. If redundant ac power is used, test the grounding continuity between a
conductive area on the SAN Volume Controller frame and the ground pin on
Safety and environmental notices ix

the plug of the main power cable of the redundant ac-power switch. If the test
is successful, test the grounding continuity between a conductive area on the
SAN Volume Controller frame and the ground pin on the plug of the backup
power cable of the redundant ac-power switch. Both tests must be successful.
9. After you have completed testing the grounding continuity, perform one of the
following procedures, depending on the outcome of the test.
vIf the test is successful, reconnect any cables that were removed, and power
on any uninterruptible power-supply units and SAN Volume Controller
nodes that were powered off.
vIf the test was not successful, ensure that all cables are securely connected. If
the test still fails, test the individual system components. Before you test the
individual components, remove all cables from the components. If any
component test fails, replace the component. After each component has been
tested and the failing ones have been replaced, repeat the complete system
test by returning to step 1 on page ix.
Test the components in the following order:
a. The SAN Volume Controller node, from the frame to the ground pin of
the input power receptacle
b. The uninterruptible power supply from the ground pin of the input
power receptacle to the ground conductor of the output power receptacle
c. If used, the redundant ac-power switch from the ground pin of the main
input power receptacle to the ground conductor of the output power
receptacle, and from the ground pin of the backup input power receptacle
to the ground conductor of the output power receptacle
d. The SAN Volume Controller node to uninterruptible power-supply
power-cable assembly, between the two ground conductors of the power
cable
e. The uninterruptible power-supply input-power cable, between the two
ground conductors of the power cable
f. If used, the redundant ac-power switch main input-power cable, between
the two ground conductors of the cable
g. If used, the redundant ac-power switch backup input-power cable,
between the two ground conductors of the cable
Inspecting the uninterruptible power supply for unsafe conditions
Ensure that you take the time to inspect the uninterruptible power supply for
unsafe conditions.
Consider the following conditions and their potential safety hazards:
Electrical hazards (especially primary power)
Primary voltage on the frame can cause serious or lethal electrical shock.
Explosive hazards
A bulging capacitor can cause serious injury.
Mechanical hazards
Loose or missing items (for example, nuts and screws) can cause serious
injury.
Use caution when working in a potential safety hazard that is not covered in the
safety checks. If unsafe conditions are present, determine how serious the hazards
are and whether you can continue before you correct the problem.
xIBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller: Models 2145-8F2 and 2145-8F4 Hardware Installation Guide

Using the following inspection checklist as a guide, inspect the uninterruptible
power supply for unsafe conditions. If necessary, see any suitable safety
publications.
1. If any equipment has been damaged during the shipment, keep the shipping
cartons and packing materials.
2. To file a claim for the shipping damage, perform the following steps:
a. File with the carrier within fifteen days of receipt of the equipment.
b. Send a copy of the damage claim within fifteen days to your service
support representative.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Ensure that you understand how to handle devices that are sensitive to static
electricity.
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective bags until you
are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
vLimit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
vHandle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or frame.
vDo not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
vDo not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
vWhile the device is still in its antistatic bag, touch it to an unpainted metal part
of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This action removes static electricity
from the package and from your body.)
vRemove the device from its package and install it directly into your SAN
Volume Controller, without putting it down. If it is necessary to put the device
down, place it onto its static-protective bag. (If your device is an adapter, place it
component-side up.) Do not place the device onto the cover of the SAN Volume
Controller or onto a metal table.
vTake additional care when you handle devices during cold weather because
heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Environmental notices and statements
You must become familiar with the environmental notices and statements.
The following topics describe the environmental notices and statements that are
applicable to this product.
1089CORE
The following comments apply to the IBM servers that have been designated as
