v Prevent ESD-sensitive cards from being touched accidentally by other persons. Reinstall machine
covers when you are not working on the machine. Do not place unprotected ESD-sensitive cards on a
table.
v Be careful when working with ESD-sensitive cards during cold weather heating. Cold weather heating
causes low humidity and increases the risk of static electricity.
System safety inspection
For use by authorized service providers.
A safety inspection for the system should be performed:
v When it is inspected for an IBM maintenance agreement
v When IBM service is requested and no service has recently been performed by IBM
v When an alterations and attachments review is performed
v When changes have been made to the equipment that might affect its safety
If the inspection indicates safety conditions that are not acceptable, the conditions must be corrected
before IBM services the machine.
Note: The correction of any unsafe condition is the responsibility of the owner of the system.
While performing this inspection, special attention must be given to these areas:
v Feature and model changes and engineering change (EC) upgrades
v Additions of non-IBM power supplies or attachments
v Missing safety covers
v Removed, faded, or painted-over safety labels
v Replacement requirements concerning parts for primary power
v Any other items relating to the product’s safety
