access to those devices.  
v Do not bend fiber-optic cable beyond its limited specifications.  
v Label all cables so that they are clearly distinguishable from each other.  
v When installing devices mounted on slide rails, such as servers:  
– Run the cables neatly along equipment cable-management arms and secure  
the cables to the arms using provided cable straps.  
– Leave enough extra cable so that the device can fully extend without straining  
the cables.  
– Secure the cables so that the device can retract without pinching or cutting  
the cables.  
v When installing devices mounted on fixed rails:  
– Run the cables neatly along the posts or side rails in the rack cabinet out of  
the way of other installed devices.  
– Secure the cables with the provided cable straps.  
v Ensure that the cables cannot be pinched or cut by the rack cabinet rear door or  
other devices.  
v Run internal cables that connect devices in adjoining rack cabinets through the  
large openings provided in the rear of the rack cabinet.  
v Run external cables through the bottom of the rack cabinet or through the  
removable section in the top of the rack cabinet.

found to meet UL-1950, CSA-950, and IEC-950 stability test standards. Because  
these standards apply only to a rack cabinet in an installed location, IBM enforces  
additional standards to ensure stability when rolling the rack cabinet on its casters.  
See Table 1 for empty and fully populated rack cabinet weights.

DANGER  
v Plug power cords from devices in the rack cabinet into electrical outlets  
that are located near the rack cabinet and are easily accessible.  
v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to  
disconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet before servicing any  
device in the rack cabinet.  
v Install an emergency-power-off switch if more than one power device  
(power distribution unit or uninterruptible power supply) is installed in  
the same rack cabinet.  
v Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed  
in the same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device  
installed in one rack cabinet into a power device installed in a different  
rack cabinet.

Statement 11:  
CAUTION:  
Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves  
rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you  
relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building:  
v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at  
the top of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the  
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is  
not known, you must do the following:  
– Remove all devices in the 22U position and above.  
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack  
cabinet.  
– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the  
rack cabinet below the 22U level.  
v If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets,  
detach the rack cabinet from the suite.  
v Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.  
v Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded  
rack cabinet. Refer to the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet  
for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.  
v Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 2083 mm (30 x 82 in.)  
v Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.  
v Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.  
v Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet.  
v Do not use a ramp inclined at more than ten degrees.  
v Once the rack cabinet is in the new location, do the following:  
– Lower the four leveling pads.  
– Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.  
– If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack  
cabinet from the lowest position to the highest position.  
If a long distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the  
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in  
the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also, lower the leveling pads to  
raise the casters off of the pallet and strap the rack cabinet to the pallet.

Type 9306 Models 4QS, 4QX, 9QS, 9QX, 9TS, 9TX  
Features  
The 9306 IBM PC Server Rack Enclosure, models 4QS, 9QS, 9TS come in three  
primary models.  
v 19-inch Quad Primary Server Rack, Model 9QS  
v 19-inch Tri Primary Server Rack, Model 9TS  
v 24-inch Quad Primary Server Rack, Model 4QS  
A Quad Primary Server Rack can house up to four IBM PC Servers. The Tri  
Primary Server Rack can house up to three IBM PC Servers.  
Both Quad and Tri Primary Server Racks provide a built in server selector which  
connects to one set of console devices (monitor, keyboard, and mouse.) The server  
selector works independently from the server’s operating systems, enabling the  
connected servers to run different operating systems.  
These IBM 9306 PC Server Rack Enclosure models are shipped preassembled and  
pre-cabled.  
IBM PC Server expansion rack models  
Three optional IBM PC Server Rack Expansion models are available to expand the  
capacity of the IBM PC Server Rack Primary Enclosure. The optional IBM PC  
Server Rack Expansion models are:  
v 19-inch Quad Expansion Rack, Model 9QX  
v 19-inch Tri Expansion Rack, Model 9TX  
v 24-inch Quad Expansion Rack, Model 4QX  
The IBM PC Server Rack Expansion models allow the installation of up to four  
more servers using the Primary IBM PC Server Rack monitor, keyboard, and  
mouse.

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.  
Related service information 229

Consider these conditions and the safety hazards 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 bulging capacitor  
v 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:  
v Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.  
v Avoid contact with other people.  
v Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body.  
v Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and  
retains a charge even when you are wearing a wrist strap.  
v 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.  
230 Hardware Maintenance Manual: IBM PC Server/Enterprise Racks Types 9306, 9308  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
v 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.  
– 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.  
v Machine type and model  
v Processor or hard disk upgrades  
v 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?  
v Reference/Diagnostics diskette version  
– Type and version level  
v Hardware configuration  
– Print (print screen) configuration currently in use  
– BIOS level  
v 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-workingsystems will often lead to problem resolution.
