Installing the new monitor stand
Refer to “Removing the existing flat panel monitor stand” on page 29 for instructions
on how to remove the existing stand from the flat panel monitor. Before installing the
new stand, install the keyboard tray in the rack according to the instructions that
come with the rack or the keyboard tray option.
Note: The Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit and keyboard tray require 3U of rack
mounting space. If the keyboard tray does not have at least 2U of clearance
above it, relocate the keyboard tray within the rack.
Use the following steps to install the Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit:
1. Remove the cable cover 1 from the new monitor stand; then, remove the four
screws (two per hinge) that secure the hinges 2 to the stand.
Figure 12. Removing the hinges from the new monitor stand
2. Install the hinges on the flat panel monitor, using the six screws that you removed
from the old monitor stand.
32 Hardware Maintenance Manual: IBM PC Server/Enterprise Racks
Figure 13. Installing the hinges on the flat panel monitor
Note: Be sure to slide each hinge into place on the back of the monitor and align
the holes in the hinges with holes on the monitor.
3. Lower the flat panel monitor onto the new monitor stand, making sure that you
align the holes in the stand with holes in the hinges; then, secure the flat panel
monitor to the monitor stand with the four screws that you removed earlier.
Figure 14. Installing the monitor on the new monitor stand
You have now finished attaching the flat panel monitor to its stand. The rest of
the installation process involves preparing the keyboard tray for storage and
routing cables.
Notes:
a. You must remove any keyboard or mouse that is already in the keyboard tray
before continuing.
b. You will not be able to store a mouse in the keyboard tray after installing the
Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit.
c. You can only store a space-saver keyboard in the keyboard tray.
4. Install the mounting studs 2 and bumpers 3 that come in the monitor
mounting hardware package.
Type 9306 Model 200 33
Figure 15. Installing the flat panel monitor in the keyboard tray
Note: Clean the installation area on the keyboard tray with a suitable cleaning
agent, such as alcohol, before installing the rubber bumpers on the front of
the keyboard tray.
5. Open the flat panel monitor 1 to its full upright position and align the grooves in
the stand with the mounting studs 2 in the keyboard tray. When the monitor
stand is sitting inside the keyboard tray, slide it towards the back until it stops.
Note: Install or remove the flat panel monitor only when the display is in its
upright position.
6. Secure the monitor stand in the back of the keyboard tray with the two provided
screws 4.
7. Place the flat panel monitor power supply, which came with your flat panel
monitor, inside the monitor stand. If necessary, insert the power supply spacer
3 behind the power supply and over the cable to keep the power supply in
place.
34 Hardware Maintenance Manual: IBM PC Server/Enterprise Racks
Figure 16. Storing the power supply and routing cables
8. Connect the power supply to the monitor and route the cable under the tab near
the top of the monitor stand 1; then, secure the power cable with the cable
clamp you removed from the original stand and coil excess cable inside the
monitor stand.
9. Connect the monitor signal cable to the monitor and route it under the tab in the
bottom of the monitor stand 2 and out the back of the stand through the hole
provided.
10. Replace the monitor stand cover 1.
Figure 17. Installing the cable cover, hinge cover, and stand cover
11. Snap the new hinge cover 2 into place over the hinge assembly.
Note: Be sure to use the new hinge cover that comes with the Flat Panel Monitor
Rack Mount Kit because it has deeper grooves to accommodate the new
hinge assembly.
12. Snap the cable cover 3 into place on the back of the flat panel monitor.
13. Fold the flat panel monitor down until it rests on the rubber bumpers; then, gently
push back and remove the small cable exit cover 1 on the monitor stand.

Type 9306 Model 200 35
Figure 18. Routing the keyboard cable
14. Route the space-saver keyboard cable through the hole in the front of the base and
out the opening in the back where you removed the small cover; then, place the
keyboard (with its adjustable feet fully down) inside the keyboard tray.
Note: You must open the flat panel monitor to its full upright position so that
you can install the keyboard and route its cable.
15. Fold the flat panel monitor down again until it rests on the rubber bumpers; then,
reinstall the small cable exit cover 1.
16. Slide the keyboard tray into the rack; then, neatly route and secure all cables in the
rack using the provided cable straps.
You can now connect the power cord to the flat panel monitor and connect the
display to a server.
Starting the system
Start the system by:
1. Power-on the selector switch(s).
2. Power-on the monitor.
3. Power-on the servers.
Note: The selector switch must be powered on first, then the servers. This is to
assure that the device drivers for the servers send device settings to the
selector switch.
When the selector switch is powered on, it:
•Identifies the mouse and keyboard and puts them into default status.
•Switches to port 1 by default, and displays the number '1' in the status flag field
on the monitor.
Configuring the selector switch
Note: For information about the IBM NetBAY Console Switch, see “IBM NetBAY
console switch” on page 129.
Note: Some selector switch units have different functions and displays. Refer to the
Apex PC Solutions® Outlook™ Concentrator User Guide. This guide is
shipped with the Selector Switch Unit.
No configuration is necessary for normal switch operation.
36 Hardware Maintenance Manual: IBM PC Server/Enterprise Racks

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.

Checklist:
1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or sharp edges).
2. Power-off the computer. Disconnect the power cord.
3. 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.
b. The power cord should be the appropriate type as specified in the parts
listings.
c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.
4. Remove the cover.
5. Check for any obvious non-IBM alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety
of any non-IBM alterations.
6. 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.
7. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
8. 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.
2. 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 double-
insulated or battery-operated system. You can use coax or connector-outside
shells on these systems.
194 Hardware Maintenance Manual: IBM PC Server/Enterprise Racks
—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
2. Have the same BIOS level
3. Have the same adapters/attachments in the same locations
4. Have the same address jumpers/terminators/cabling
5. Have the same software versions and levels
6. Have the same Reference/Diagnostics Diskette (version)
7. Have the same configuration options set in the system
8. Have the same setup for the operation system control files
Comparing the configuration and software set-up between "working and non-
working" systems will often lead to problem resolution.
