Safety inspection guide
The intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potentially unsafe
conditions on these products. Each machine, as it was designed and built, had
required safety items installed to protect users and service personnel from injury. This
guide addresses only those items. However, good judgment should be used to
identify potential safety hazards due to 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.
Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they present:
•

Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary voltage on the frame can
cause serious or fatal electrical shock).

•

Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or bulging capacitor

•

Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware

The guide consists of a series of steps presented in a checklist. Begin the checks with
the power off, and the power cord disconnected.

192

Hardware Maintenance Manual: IBM PC Server/Enterprise Racks

Checklist:
1.

Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or sharp edges).

Power-off the computer. Disconnect the power cord.

Check the power cord for:
a.

A third-wire ground connector in good condition. Use a meter to measure
third-wire ground continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external ground
pin and frame ground.

The power cord should be the appropriate type as specified in the parts
listings.

Insulation must not be frayed or worn.

Remove the cover.

Check for any obvious non-IBM alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety
of any non-IBM alterations.

Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings,
contamination, water or other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.

Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.

Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been
removed or tampered with.

Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices
Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (ICs) should be
considered sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when
there is a difference in charge between objects. Protect against ESD damage by
equalizing the charge so that the machine, the part, the work mat, and the person
handling the part are all at the same charge.
Notes:
1.

Use product-specific ESD procedures when they exceed the requirements noted
here.

Make sure that the ESD protective devices you use have been certified (ISO 9000)
as fully effective.

When handling ESD-sensitive parts:
•

Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.

•

Avoid contact with other people.

•

Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body.

•

Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and
retains a charge even when you are wearing a wrist strap.

•

Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface.
The mat is especially useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices.

•

Select a grounding system, such as those listed below, to provide protection that
meets the specific service requirement.
Note: The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect
against ESD damage.
— Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire
ground.
— Use an ESD common ground or reference point when working on a doubleinsulated or battery-operated system. You can use coax or connector-outside
shells on these systems.
Related service information

193

— Use the round ground-prong of the ac plug on ac-operated computers.

Grounding requirements
Electrical grounding of the PC Server Rack and computers is required for operator
safety and correct system function. Proper grounding of the electrical outlet can be
verified by a certified electrician.

Problem determination tips
Due to the variety of hardware and software combinations that can be encountered,
use the following information to assist you in problem determination. If possible,
have this information available when requesting assistance from Service Support and
Engineering functions.
•

Machine type and model

•

Processor or hard disk upgrades

•

Failure symptom
— Do diagnostics fail?
— What, when, where, single, or multiple systems?
— Is the failure repeatable?
— Has this configuration ever worked?
— If it has been working, what changes were made prior to it failing?
— Is this the original reported failure?

•

Reference/Diagnostics diskette version
— Type and version level

•

Hardware configuration
— Print (print screen) configuration currently in use
— BIOS level

•

Operating system software
— Type and version level

CAUTION:
Important:
To eliminate confusion, identical systems are considered identical only if they:
1.

Are the exact machine type and model

Have the same BIOS level

Have the same adapters/attachments in the same locations

Have the same address jumpers/terminators/cabling

Have the same software versions and levels

Have the same Reference/Diagnostics Diskette (version)

Have the same configuration options set in the system

Have the same setup for the operation system control files

Comparing the configuration and software set-up between "working and nonworking" systems will often lead to problem resolution.
