Guidelines for trained service technicians This section contains information for trained service technicians. Inspecting for unsafe conditions Use the information in this section to help you identify potential unsafe conditions in an IBM® product that you are working on. Each IBM product, as it was designed and manufactured, has required safety items to protect users and service technicians from injury. The information in this section addresses only those items. Use good judgment to identify potential unsafe conditions that might be caused by non-IBM alterations or attachment of non-IBM features or options that are not addressed in this section. If you identify an unsafe condition, you must determine how serious the hazard is and whether you must correct the problem before you work on the product. Consider the following conditions and the safety hazards that they present: v Electrical hazards, especially primary power. Primary voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal electrical shock. v Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or a bulging or leaking capacitor. v Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware. To inspect the product for potential unsafe conditions, complete the following steps: 1. Make sure that the power is off and the power cord is disconnected. 2. Make sure that the exterior cover is not damaged, loose, or broken, and observe any sharp edges. 3. Check the power cord: v Make sure that the third-wire ground connector is in good condition. Use a meter to measure third-wire ground continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external ground pin and the frame ground. v Make sure that the power cord is the correct type, as specified in "Power cords" on page 44. v Make sure that the insulation is not 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 server for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water or other liquid, or signs of fire or smoke damage. 7. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables. 8. Make sure that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been removed or tampered with. viii System x3200 M2 Types 4367 and 4368: Problem Determination and Service Guide
