General checkout

The server diagnostic programs are stored in upgradable read-only memory (ROM) on the system board. These pro- grams are the primary method of testing the major compo- nents of the server: the system board, Ethernet controller, video controller, RAM, keyboard, mouse (pointing device), diskette drive, serial ports, hard drives, and parallel port. You can also use them to test some external devices. See ???Diagnostic programs and error messages??? on page 10.

Also, if you cannot determine whether a problem is caused by the hardware or by the software, you can run the diag- nostic programs to confirm that the hardware is working properly.

When you run the diagnostic programs, a single problem might cause several error messages. When this occurs, work to correct the cause of the first error message. After the cause of the first error message is corrected, the other error messages might not occur the next time you run the test.

A failed system might be part of a shared DASD cluster (two or more systems sharing the same external storage device(s)). Prior to running diagnostics, verify that the failing system is not part of a shared DASD cluster.

A system might be part of a cluster if:

???The customer identifies the system as part of a cluster.

???One or more external storage units are attached to the system and at least one of the attached storage units is additionally attached to another system or unidentifi- able source.

???One or more systems are located near the failing sys- tem.

If the failing system is suspected to be part of a shared DASD cluster, all diagnostic tests can be run except diag- nostic tests which test the storage unit (DASD residing in the storage unit) or the storage adapter attached to the storage unit.

Notes:

1.For systems that are part of a shared DASD cluster, run one test at a time in looped mode. Do not run all tests in looped mode, as this could enable the DASD diag- nostic tests.

2.If multiple error codes are displayed, diagnose the first error code displayed.

3.If the computer hangs with a POST error, go to the ???Symptom-to-FRU index??? on page 129.

4.If the computer hangs and no error is displayed, go to ???Undetermined problems??? on page 147.

5.Power supply problems, see ???Symptom-to-FRU index??? on page 129.

6.Safety information, see ???Safety information??? on page 155.

7.For intermittent problems, check the error log; see ???POST error messages??? on page 10.

1. IS THE SYSTEM PART OF A CLUSTER?

YES. Schedule maintenance with the customer. Shut down all systems related to the cluster. Run storage test.

NO. Go to step 2.

2.IF THE SYSTEM IS NOT PART OF A CLUSTER:

???Power-off the computer and all external devices.

???Check all cables and power cords.

???Set all display controls to the middle position.

???Power-on all external devices.

???Power-on the computer.

???Record any POST error messages displayed on the screen. If an error is displayed, look up the first error in the ???POST error codes??? on page 141.

???Check the System Error Log. If an error was recorded by the system, see ???Symptom-to-FRU index??? on page 129.

???Start the Diagnostic Programs. See ???Diagnostic programs and error messages??? on page 10.

???Check for the following responses:

a.One beep.

b.Readable instructions or the Main Menu.

3.DID YOU RECEIVE BOTH OF THE CORRECT

RESPONSES?

NO. Find the failure symptom in ???Symptom-to-FRU index??? on page 129.

YES. Run the Diagnostic Programs. If necessary, refer to ???Diagnostic programs and error messages??? on page 10.

If you receive an error, go to ???Symptom-to-FRU index??? on page 129.

If the diagnostics completed successfully and you still sus- pect a problem, see ???Undetermined problems??? on page 147.

???Impressive performance using an innovative approach to SMP

4 Netfinity 3500-M20 ??? Type 8657 Models 21Y, 22Y, 31Y, 32Y,

The server supports up to two Pentium III microproces- sors. The server comes with at least one processor installed; you can install an additional processor to enhance performance and provide SMP capability.

???Large system memory

The memory bus in the server supports up to 2gigabytes (GB) of system memory. The memory con- troller provides error correcting code (ECC) support for up to four industry standard PC133, 3.3 V, 168-pin, 8- byte, registered, synchronous-dynamic-random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

???System-management capabilities

The Netfinity Manager software provided on the Serv- erGuide CDs enables you to manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. See ???Netfinity Man- ager??? on page 75 for more information.

???Integrated network environment support

The server comes with an Ethernet controller on the system board. This Ethernet controller has an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps networks. The server automatically selects between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX environments. The controller provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simulta- neous transmission and reception of data on the Ether- net local area network (LAN).

???IBM ServerGuide CDs

The ServerGuide CDs included with IBM Netfinity serv- ers provide programs to help you set up the server and install the network operating system (NOS). The Serv- erGuide program detects the hardware options that are installed, and provides the correct configuration pro- gram and device drivers. In addition, the ServerGuide CDs include a variety of application programs for the server.

Reliability, availability, and serviceability

Three of the most important features in server design are reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS). These fac- tors help to ensure the integrity of the data stored on the server; that the server is available when you want to use it; and that should a failure occur, you can easily diagnose and repair the failure with minimal inconvenience.

The following is an abbreviated list of the RAS features that the server supports.

???Menu-driven setup, system configuration, RAID config- uration, and diagnostic programs

???Power-on self-test (POST)

???Error codes and messages

???Upgradable BIOS and diagnostics

???Automatic restart after a power failure

???CRC checking on the SCSI buses

???Error checking and correcting (ECC) memory

Diagnostics

This section provides basic troubleshooting information to help you resolve some common problems that might occur with the server.

If you cannot locate and correct the problem using the infor- mation in this section, refer to ???Symptom-to-FRU index??? on page 129 for more information.

Diagnostic tools overview

The following tools are available to help you identify and resolve hardware-related problems:

???POST beep codes, error messages, and error logs

The power-on self-test (POST) generates beep codes and messages to indicate successful test completion or the detection of a problem. See ???POST??? for more infor- mation.

???Diagnostic programs and error messages

The server diagnostic programs are stored in upgrad- able read-only memory (ROM) on the system board. These programs are the primary method of testing the major components of the server. See ???Diagnostic pro- grams and error messages??? on page 10 for more infor- mation.

POST

When you turn on the server, it performs a series of tests to check the operation of server components and some of the options installed in the server. This series of tests is called the power-on self-test or POST.

If POST finishes without detecting any problems, a single beep sounds and the first screen of the operating system or application program appears.

If POST detects a problem, more than one beep sounds and an error message appears on the screen. See ???POST beep codes??? and ???POST error messages??? on page 10 for more information.

Notes:

1.If you have a power-on password set, you must type the password and press Enter, when prompted, before POST will continue.

2.A single problem might cause several error mes- sages. When this occurs, work to correct the cause of the first error message. After you correct the cause of the first error message, the other error messages usu- ally will not occur the next time you run the test.

POST beep codes

POST generates beep codes to indicate successful comple- tion or the detection of a problem.

9

???One beep indicates the successful completion of POST.

???More than one beep indicates that POST detected a problem. For more information, see ???Beep symptoms??? on page 129.

POST error messages

POST error messages occur during startup when POST finds a problem with the hardware or detects a change in the hardware configuration. For a list of POST errors, see ???POST error codes??? on page 141.

Error logs

The POST error log contains the three most recent error codes and messages that the system generated during POST.

To view the contents of the error log, start the Configura- tion/Setup Utility program (see ???Starting the Configura- tion/Setup Utility program??? on page 33); then, select Error Logs from the main menu.

Diagnostic programs and error messages

The server diagnostic programs are stored in upgradable read-only memory (ROM) on the system board. These pro- grams are the primary method of testing the major compo- nents of the server.

Diagnostic error messages indicate that a problem exists; they are not intended to be used to identify a failing part. Troubleshooting and servicing of complex problems that are indicated by error messages should be performed by trained service personnel.

Sometimes the first error to occur causes additional errors. In this case, the server displays more than one error mes- sage. Always follow the suggested action instructions for the first error message that appears.

The following sections contain the error codes that might appear in the detailed test log and summary log when run- ning the diagnostic programs.

The error code format is as follows:

fff-ttt-iii-date-cc-text message

where:

fffis the three-digit function code that indicates the function being tested when the error occurred. For example, function code 089 is for the microprocessor.

tttis the three-digit failure code that indicates the exact test failure that was encountered.

10 Netfinity 3500-M20 ??? Type 8657 Models 21Y, 22Y, 31Y, 32Y,

ccis the check digit that is used to verify the validity of the information.

text message is the diagnostic message that indicates the reason for the problem.

Text messages

The diagnostic text message format is as follows:

Function Name: Result (test specific string)

where:

Function Name is the name of the function being tested when the error occurred. This corresponds to the function code (fff) given in the previous list.

during the diagnostic test, such as when a device that is to be tested is not installed.

Test Specific String This is additional information that you can use to analyze the problem.

5.When the Diagnostic Programs screen appears, select the test you want to run from the list that appears; then, follow the instructions on the screen.

Notes:

a.If the server stops during testing and you cannot continue, restart the server and try running the diagnostic programs again.

b.The keyboard and mouse (pointing device) tests assume that a keyboard and mouse are attached to the server.

c.If you run the diagnostic programs with no mouse attached to the server, you will not be able to navi- gate between test categories using the Next Cat and Prev Cat buttons. All other functions pro- vided by mouse-selectable buttons are also avail- able using the function keys.

d.You can test the USB keyboard by using the regu- lar keyboard test. The regular mouse test can test a USB mouse. Also, you can run the USB hub test only if there are no USB devices attached.

e.You can view server configuration information (such as system configuration, memory contents, interrupt request (IRQ) use, direct memory access (DMA) use, device drivers, and so on) by selecting Hardware Info from the top of the screen.

When the tests have completed, you can view the Test Log by selecting Utility from the top of the screen.

If the hardware checks out OK but the problem persists dur- ing normal server operations, a software error might be the cause. If you suspect a software problem, refer to the infor- mation that comes with the software package.

Viewing the test log

The test log will not contain any information until after the diagnostic program has run.

Note: If you already are running the diagnostic programs, begin with step 3.

To view the test log:

1.Turn on the server and watch the screen.

If the server is on, shut down the operating system and restart the server.

2.When the message F2 for Diagnostics appears, press F2.

If a power-on password is set, the server prompts you for it. Type in the appropriate password; then, press Enter.

3.When the Diagnostic Programs screen appears, select Utility from the top of the screen.

12 Netfinity 3500-M20 ??? Type 8657 Models 21Y, 22Y, 31Y, 32Y,

The system maintains the test-log data while the server is powered on. When you turn off the power to the server, the test log is cleared.

Diagnostic error message tables

For descriptions of the error messages that might appear when you run the diagnostic programs, see ???Diagnostic error codes??? on page 133. If diagnostic error messages appear that are not listed in those tables, make sure that the server has the latest levels of BIOS, Advanced System Manage- ment Processor, ServeRAID, and diagnostics microcode installed.

Power checkout

Power problems can be difficult to troubleshoot. For instance, a short circuit can exist anywhere on any of the power distribution busses. Usually a short circuit will cause the power subsystem to shut down because of an overcur- rent condition.

A general procedure for troubleshooting power problems is as follows:

1.Power off the system and disconnect the AC cord(s).

2.Check for loose cables in the power subsystem. Also check for short circuits, for instance if there is a loose screw causing a short circuit on a circuit board.

3.Remove adapters and disconnect the cables and power connectors to all internal and external devices until system is at minimum configuration required for power on (see "Minimum operating requirements" on page 148).

4.Reconnect the AC cord and power on the system. If the system powers up successfully, replace adapters and devices one at a time until the problem is isolated. If system does not power up from minimal configura- tion, replace FRUs of minimal configuration one at a time until the problem is isolated.

To use this method it is important to know the minimum con- figuration required for a system to power up (see page 148).

Recovering BIOS

If the BIOS code in the server has become corrupted, such as from a power failure during a flash update, you can recover the BIOS using the Flash ROM Page-Swap Jumper (J38) and a BIOS flash diskette.

Note: You can obtain a BIOS flash diskette from one of the following sources:

???Use the ServerGuide program to make a BIOS flash diskette.

???Download a BIOS flash diskette from the World Wide Web. Go to http://www.pc.ibm.com/sup- port/, select IBM Server Support, and make the selections for the server.

Diagnostics 13

The flash memory of the server consists of a primary page and a backup page. The J38 jumper controls which page is used to start the server. If the BIOS in the primary page is corrupted, you can use the backup page to start the server; then boot the BIOS Flash Diskette to restore the BIOS to the primary page.

To recover the BIOS:

1.Turn off the server and peripheral devices and discon- nect all external cables and power cords; then, remove the cover.

2.Locate jumper J38 on the processor board (see ???Sys- tem board switches and jumpers??? on page 42). The jumper consists of three pins, two of which are covered by a jumper.

3.Move the J38 jumper from its current location to con- nect the center pin and the pin on the opposite end of the connector block, as shown in the following diagram:

4.Insert the BIOS flash diskette into the diskette drive.

5.Restart the server.

6.The system begins the power-on self-test (POST). Select 1 ??? Update POST/BIOS from the menu that con- tains various flash (update) options.

7.When you are asked whether you want to save the cur- rent code to a diskette, type N.

8.You will be asked to choose which language you wish to use. Select your language (0-7) and press Enter to accept your choice.

9.Do not reboot the system at this time.

10.Remove the BIOS Flash Diskette from the diskette drive.

11.Power-off the server.

12.Move jumper J38 back to its original setting to return to normal startup mode.

13.Restart the server. The system should start up nor- mally.

Troubleshooting the Ethernet controller

This section provides troubleshooting information for prob- lems that might occur with the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet con- troller.

Network connection problems

If the Ethernet controller cannot connect to the network, check the following:

???Make sure that the cable is installed correctly.

The network cable must be securely attached at all connections. If the cable is attached but the problem persists, try a different cable.

If you set the Ethernet controller to operate at 100 Mbps, you must use Category 5 cabling.

If you directly connect two workstations (without a hub), or if you are not using a hub with X ports, use a cross- over cable.

Note: To determine whether a hub has an X port, check the port label. If the label contains an X, the hub has an X port.

???Determine if the hub supports auto-negotiation. If not, try configuring the integrated Ethernet controller manu- ally to match the speed and duplex mode of the hub.

???Check the Ethernet controller lights on the operator information panel.

These lights indicate whether a problem exists with the connector, cable, or hub.

???The Ethernet Link Status light illuminates when the Ethernet controller receives a LINK pulse from the hub. If the light is off, there might be a defec- tive connector or cable, or a problem with the hub.

???The Ethernet Transmit/Receive Activity light illumi- nates when the Ethernet controller sends or receives data over the Ethernet Network. If the Ethernet Transmit/Receive Activity light is off,

Diagnostics 17

make sure that the hub and network are operating and that the correct device drivers are loaded.

???The Ethernet Speed 100 Mbps light illuminates when the Ethernet controller LAN speed is 100 Mbps.

???Make sure that you are using the correct device drivers, supplied with the server.

???Check for operating system-specific causes for the problem.

???Make sure that the device drivers on the client and server are using the same protocol.

???Test the Ethernet controller.

How you test the Ethernet controller depends on which operating system you are using (see the Ethernet con- troller device driver README file).

Adapter considerations

Before you install adapters, review the following:

???Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instruc- tions given in this chapter. If you need to change the switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter.

???You can install full-length adapters in all expansion slots.

???You can install a 32-bit adapter in any of the PCI slots, but you might want to install it in a 32-bit slot and use the 64-bit slots for 64-bit adapters.

???Your server supports 5.0V and universal PCI adapters; it does not support 3.3V adapters.

???Your server uses a rotational interrupt technique to con- figure PCI adapters. Because of this technique, you can install a variety of PCI adapters that currently do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.

???PCI slots 1 and 2 are on PCI bus A and PCI slots 3, 4, and 5 are on PCI bus B.

46 Netfinity 3500-M20 ??? Type 8657 Models 21Y, 22Y, 31Y, 32Y,

Note: PCI bus A is sometimes referred to as bus 0; PCI bus B is sometimes referred to as bus 1.

The system scans PCI slots 1 through 5 to assign sys- tem resources; then the system starts (boots) the PCI devices in the following order, if you have not changed the default boot precedence: PCI slots 1 and 2, system board SCSI devices, and then PCI slots 3 through 5.

Note: To change the boot precedence for PCI devices, start the Configuration/Setup Utility program, select Start Options from the main menu, then select the PCI SCSI adapter boot precedence. See ???Configuring the server??? on page 33 for details on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

Before you begin:

???Review the information in ???Before you begin??? on page 43 and .

10.If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, replace the support bracket and the side cover (see ???Installing the side cover??? on page 60 for details).

Installing memory-module kits

Adding memory to the server is an easy way to make pro- grams run faster. You can increase the amount of memory in the server by installing options called memory-module kits. Each kit contains one industry-standard, dual-inline memory module (DIMM). The server uses a noninterleaved memory configuration.

The server comes with a dual inline memory module (DIMM) installed on the system board in DIMM slot 4.

Notes:

1.When installing additional memory modules, install the second memory module in the connector labeled DIMM3, the third in DIMM2, and the fourth in DIMM1. (See the following illustration for memory connector locations.)

2.The Netfinity 3500 M20 server supports 128MB, 256MB, and 512MB DIMMs. These DIMMs can be installed in any memory slot. The server supports a minimum of 128MB and a maximum of 2GB of system memory. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat for a list of memory modules for use with the server.

3.Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configura- tion information in the server. Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must save the new configura- tion information by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. When you restart the server, the system dis- plays a message indicating that the memory configura- tion has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and select Save Settings. See ???Configuring the server??? on page 33 for more information.

Installing a microprocessor kit

The server comes with one microprocessor installed on the system board. If you install an additional microprocessor kit, the server can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server. With SMP, certain operating systems and application programs can distribute the processing load between the microprocessors. This enhances performance for database and point-of-sale applications, integrated man- ufacturing solutions, and other applications.

Notes:

1.Before you install a new microprocessor, review the documentation that comes with the microprocessor, so that you can determine whether you need to update the server basic input/output system (BIOS). The latest level of BIOS for the server is available through the World Wide Web.

2.Obtain an SMP-capable operating system (optional). For a list of supported operating systems, see http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/ on the World Wide Web.

3.The server comes with one microprocessor installed in microprocessor connector U12. This is the startup (boot) microprocessor. If you install a microprocessor in microprocessor connector U11, that one becomes the startup processor and the microprocessor installed in connector U12 is the application processor.

SCSI port

The server has an integrated dual-channel small computer system interface (SCSI) controller. This controller supports an Ultra160 SCSI internal channel. This channel supports up to 15 SCSI devices. In addition, this controller uses:

???Double-transition clocking to achieve high transfer rates

???Domain name validation to negotiate compatible data transfer speeds with each device

???Cyclic-redundancy checking (CRC), instead of the usual parity checking, to significantly improve data reli- ability

???An active terminator on the system board for SCSI bus termination

If you install a SCSI adapter in the server, you can use its SCSI connector to connect different types of small computer system interface (SCSI) devices.

Note: If you install a PCI RAID adapter, you can move the SCSI cable from the system-board SCSI connector to an internal channel connector on the RAID adapter if you want to control the internal drives from the adapter.

SCSI cabling requirements

You can install five internal SCSI devices using the SCSI cable that comes with the server. If you plan to attach exter- nal SCSI devices, you must install an optional SCSI adapter and order additional SCSI cables. To select and order the correct cables for use with external devices, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative.

For information about the maximum length of SCSI cable between the terminated ends of the cable, refer to the ANSI SCSI standards. Adhering to these standards will help ensure that the server operates properly.

Setting SCSI IDs

Each SCSI device connected to a SCSI controller must have a unique SCSI ID. This ID enables the SCSI controller to identify the device and ensure that different devices on the same SCSI channel do not attempt to transfer data simulta- neously. SCSI devices that are connected to different SCSI channels can have duplicate SCSI IDs.

To install external SCSI devices, you must first install an optional SCSI PCI adapter. Refer to the information that is provided with the device for instructions to set its SCSI ID.

Ethernet port

The server comes with an integrated Ethernet controller. This controller provides an interface for connecting to 10- Mbps or 100-Mbps networks and provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN).

To access the Ethernet port, connect a Category 3, 4 or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable to the RJ-45 connector on the rear of the server.

Note: The 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet standard requires that the cabling in the network be Category 5 or higher.

Configuring the Ethernet controller

When you connect the server to the network, the Ethernet controller automatically detects the data-transfer rate (10Mbps or 100Mbps) on the network and then sets the controller to operate at the appropriate rate. That is, the Ethernet controller will adjust to the network data rate, whether the data rate is standard Ethernet (10BASE-T), Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX), half duplex (HDX), or full duplex (FDX). The controller supports half-duplex (HDX) and full- duplex (FDX) modes at both speeds.

The Ethernet controller is a PCI Plug and Play device. You do not need to set any jumpers or configure the controller for the operating system before you use the Ethernet controller. However, you must install a device driver to enable the oper- ating system to address the Ethernet controller. The device drivers are provided on the ServerGuide CDs.

Installing options 69

Failover for redundant Ethernet

The IBM Netfinity 10/100 Ethernet Adapter or the IBM 10/100 Ethernet PCI family of adapters are optional redun- dant network interface cards (NIC adapter) that you can install in the server. If you install this NIC adapter and con- nect it to the same logical segment as the primary Ethernet controller, you can configure the server to support a failover function. You can configure either the integrated Ethernet controller or the NIC adapter as the primary Ethernet con- troller. In failover mode, if the primary Ethernet controller detects a link failure, all Ethernet traffic associated with it is switched to the redundant (secondary) controller. This switching occurs without any user intervention. When the primary link is restored to an operational state, the Ethernet traffic switches back to the primary Ethernet controller.

High Performance Ethernet Modes

The Ethernet controller supports optional modes, such as teaming, priority packets, and virtual LANs, which provide higher performance and throughput for the server.

Teaming Mode: The Ethernet controller provides options, called teaming options. These options increase throughput and fault tolerance when running with Windows NT 4.0 or NetWare 4.1x or later.

???Adapter fault tolerance (AFT) provides automatic redundancy for the adapter. If the primary adapter fails, the secondary adapter takes over. Adapter fault toler- ance supports from 2 to 4 adapters per team.

???Adaptive load balancing (ALB) allows you to balance the transmission data flow among 2 to 4 adapters. ALB also includes the AFT option. You can use ALB with any 100BASE-TX switch.

???Cisco Fast EtherChannel (FEC) creates a team of 2 to 4 adapters to increase transmission and reception throughput. FEC also includes the AFT option. You can only use FEC with a switch that has FEC capability.

Teaming requires you to install at least one additional Ether- net adapter. For additional information about the teaming modes, refer to the documentation that comes with these additional adapters.

Priority Packet Mode: Priority Packet is a traffic-prioriti- zation utility that enables you to set up filters to process high-priority traffic before normal traffic. You can send infor- mation from critical nodes or applications with an indicated priority. Because you set this priority at the host or entry point of the network, the network devices can base forward- ing decisions on priority information defined in the packet.

Priority Packet information is available on the IBM Network- ing Web site at: http://www.ibm.com/networking/support.

Priority Packet prioritizes traffic based on priority filters. These are parameters you assign to outgoing (transmit) packets. Using the Priority Filter Wizard, you can set up pre- defined or custom priority filters based on a node (MAC) address, Ethernet type, or by various properties of the proto- col and port. Priority Packet provides two different methods

70 Netfinity 3500-M20 ??? Type 8657 Models 21Y, 22Y, 31Y, 32Y,

for prioritizing traffic: IEEE 802.1p tagging and High Priority Queue.

IEEE 802.1p is a new IEEE standard for tagging, or adding additional bytes of information to packets with different prior- ity levels. Packets are tagged with 4 additional bytes, which increase the packet size and indicate a priority level. When you send these packets out on the network, the higher prior- ity packets are transferred first. Priority packet tagging (also known as Traffic Class Expediting) allows the adapter to work with other elements of the network (such as switches and routers) to deliver priority packets first. You can assign specific priority levels from 0 (low) to 7 (high).

You can assign values to packets based on their priority when you use the IEEE 802.1p standard for packet tagging. This method requires a network infrastructure that supports packet tagging. The routing devices receiving and transfer- ring these packets on the network must support 802.1p for tagging to be effective.

After you set up the priority filter in Priority Packet, you must launch IBMSet and select 802.1p/802.1Q Tagging on the Advanced tab.

Note: IEEE 802.1p tagging increases the size of the pack- ets it tags. Some hubs and switches will not recog- nize the larger packets and will drop them. Check the hub or switch documentation to see if they support 802.1p. (You can configure the switch to strip the tags from the packets and send it on to the next desti- nation as normal traffic.) If these devices do not sup- port 802.1p or if you are not sure, use High Priority Queue (HPQ) to prioritize network traffic.

The requirements for effectively using IEEE 802.1p tagging are:

???The other devices receiving and routing 802.1p tagged packets must support 802.1p.

???The adapters on these devices must support 802.1p. The Ethernet controller in the Netfinity 3500 M20 and all IBM Netfinity 10/100 Ethernet Security Adapters support 802.1p.

???The adapter cannot be assigned to an adapter team.

???If you are setting up VLANs and packet tagging on the same adapter, 802.1p/802.1Q Tagging must be enabled on the IBMSet Advanced tab.

If the network infrastructure devices do not support IEEE 802.1p or you are not sure, you can still define filters and send packets as high priority. While High Priority Queue (HPQ) does not provide the precise priority levels of 802.1p tagging, it does assign traffic as either high or low priority and sends high priority packets first. Therefore, if there are multiple applications on a system sending packets, the pack- ets from the application with a filter are sent out first. HPQ does not change network routing, nor does it add any infor- mation to the packets.

Installing options 71

To assign HPQ, you can specify it using Priority Packet when you create or assign a filter.

To effectively use HPQ tagging, the adapter cannot be assigned to an adapter team.

Virtual LAN Mode: A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical grouping of network devices put together as a LAN, regard- less of their physical grouping or collision domains. Using VLANs increases network performance and improves net- work security.

VLANs offer you the ability to group users and devices together into logical workgroups. This can simplify network administration when connecting clients to servers that are geographically dispersed across the building, campus, or enterprise network.

Normally, VLANs are configured at the switch and any com- puter can be a member of one VLAN per installed network adapter. The Ethernet controller supersedes this by commu- nicating directly with the switch, allowing multiple VLANs on a single network adapter (up to 64 VLANs).

To set up VLAN membership, the Ethernet controller must be attached to a switch that has VLAN capability. You also need to use Windows NT 4.0 or later, or Novell NetWare 4.1x or later.

Notes:

1.Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 do not support VLANs.

2.VLANs require NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3.0 and the NDIS driver hotfix from Microsoft.

3.In Windows NT, VLANs cannot be implemented on controllers that have been configured for teaming options. NetWare can support teaming options and VLANs on the same adapters.

To join a VLAN from Windows NT 4.0:

1.Create a VLAN on the switch. Use the parameters you assign there to join the VLAN from the server. Refer to the switch documentation for more information.

2.Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel win- dow.

3.On the Adapters tab, select the adapter you want to be on the VLAN and select Properties.

4.In IBMSet, select Join VLAN. Note that VLANs cannot be assigned to adapters that are already defined to have an adapter teaming option.

5.Enter the VLAN ID and VLAN name. The VLAN ID must match the VLAN ID of the switch. The ID range is from 1 to 1000. The VLAN name is for information only and does not need to match the name on the switch.

6.Select Join VLAN. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each VLAN you want the server to join. The VLANs you add are listed on the Adapters tab.

7.Select Close and restart the computer.

Netfinity Manager provides powerful hardware systems- management capabilities, including access to all systems on the network that are running Netfinity Manager or Client Ser- vices for Netfinity Manager. In addition to all standard Client Services for Netfinity Manager functions, Netfinity Manager also features directory transfers and file, remote screen cap- tures, and remote command-line sessions. Netfinity Man- ager also enables you to export data collected by System Information Tool, System Profile, Software Inventory, and System Monitor to a DB2, Lotus Notes, or SQL or DB2 via an open database connectivity (ODBC) database (ODBC export is available on Windows NT systems only). Finally, Netfinity Manager enables some services to be started at scheduled times and dates for simplified, automated sys- tems management.

Netfinity Manager also provides two powerful features that enable you to access the Netfinity Manager system and all Netfinity Manager systems from a system that is not attached to the managing system network:

???Serial Connection Control

Use the Serial Connection Control service to use a Net- finity Manager system modem to establish a connec- tion with any Netfinity Manager system that has a modem. Once this connection is established, the Net- finity Manager has full access to Netfinity Manager ser- vices, just as though the remote system were part of the managing system network.

???Netfinity Manager for Web

Netfinity Manager for Web enables access and remote control of the Netfinity Manager system over the Inter- net, using any system that has an Internet connection and a World Wide Web (WWW) browser. With the Net- finity Manager for Web, the Netfinity Manager systems can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

Managing your IBM Netfinity server with Netfinity Manager

A Netfinity Manager systems management environment consists of two parts:

???A systems management console running Netfinity Man- ager. The systems management console is the system from which administrative tasks are performed.

???Client systems running Client Services for Netfinity Manager. Client Services for Netfinity Manager runs on all client systems in your network and enables Netfinity Manager to remotely monitor, inventory, manage, and troubleshoot the systems on which it is installed.

Once you have installed Netfinity Manager and Client Ser- vices for Netfinity Manager on the appropriate systems you are ready to use Netfinity Manager to remotely inventory, monitor, and troubleshoot the client systems in your network.

This enables the user to shut down the Netfinity Manager Support Program. If the Netfinity Manager Support Program is to remain invisible to the user, do not enable this option.

???Remote User Authorization for Screen Access

If the Remote User Authorization for Screen Access option is enabled, a remote user cannot use either Remote Workstation Control or Screen View on your system with- out your permission. When this option is

Netfinity Manager 85

enabled and a remote user attempts to use one of these services on your system, a win- dow will pop up on your desktop alerting you that a remote user is attempting to use the Remote Workstation Control or Screen View service and asking whether you want to per- mit this user to use this service on your sys- tem. You can click Yes or No. If you do not make a selection within 15 seconds (for example, if you are not sitting at your system when the access attempt is made), Netfinity Manager will automatically prevent the remote user from using the service on your system.

???Disable DNS Name Resolution

If the Disable DNS Name Resolution option is enabled, Netfinity Manager will use only a numeric TCP/IP address (for example, 8.24.67.32) to communicate with remote sys- tems and will not attempt to resolve the numeric address into an alphanumeric, Domain Name Server (DNS) address (for example, your.system.ibm.com). Select this option if you are using Netfinity Manager is a WINS networking environment or if you are using TCP/IP in an environment that does not have a Domain Name Server.

To enable one or more of the available Netfinity Manager Options:

(1)Click Options....

(2)Select one or more Netfinity Manager options.

(3)Click Save.

f.Set the Network Time-out Value (optional).

The Network Time-out field shows the number of seconds that Netfinity Manager will attempt to communicate with a remote system that is not responding. If Netfinity Manager does not estab- lish contact with the remote system within this time, it cancels the communication attempt. The Network Time-out default setting is 15 seconds. This default setting might not need to be altered.

g.Save the configuration and continue.

Click Save to save the configuration. Then, click Exit to continue.

Note: The configuration can be changed later by double-clicking the Network Driver Con- figuration object in the Netfinity Manager folder.

10.After finishing configuring the system for network access, the installation program displays a list of changes that must be made to the system configuration files, and asks whether the installation program should make the changes. For example, if Netfinity Manager for Windows 95 is being installed, the installation pro- gram will display a list of changes that must be made to the CONFIG.SYS file.

86 Netfinity 3500-M20 ??? Type 8657 Models 21Y, 22Y, 31Y, 32Y,

Click either Yes or No.

Note: These changes must be made to the system configuration for Netfinity Manager to run cor- rectly.

???If you click Yes the installation program automati- cally makes the necessary changes to the system configuration.

???If you click No the commands are saved to a file named CONFIG.NEW in the destination directory (and to AUTOEXEC.NEW, if appropriate) so that they can be added later.

11.The installation is now complete. Shut down and restart the system for the system configuration changes to take effect.

Netfinity Manager database support

Netfinity Manager supports the collection and export of a vast amount of system-specific data to a Netfinity Manager database.

Brief descriptions of each of the Netfinity Manager services follow. Complete instructions on how to use each of these services can be found in the service-specific chapters of the

Netfinity Manager User???s Guide.

Alert Manager

The Alert Manager is an extendable facility that allows receiving and processing of application-generated alerts. A variety of actions can be taken in response to alerts, includ- ing logging alerts, notifying the user, forwarding the alert to another system, executing a program, playing a WAV file (available only on multimedia systems), generating an SNMP alert message, dialing out to a digital pager service (available only on systems that have a modem), or taking an application-defined action. Actions are user-definable, using a flexible action management interface.

Also, an extensive, detailed log is kept of all alerts received by the Alert Manager. Logged information includes date and time the alert was received, type and severity of the alert, the ID of the application that generated the alert, as well as any text that was generated and any action taken by the Alert Manager. Individual or multiple alerts can be selected from the log and printed for later reference, or deleted once problems are corrected. This service is available for stand- alone use and network use.

Alert on LAN configuration

Use the Alert on LAN configuration service to configure monitoring options of Alert on LAN-capable systems locally and remotely. Systems with Alert on LAN capability provide critical status information about system states. The data is reported by hardware or software (depending upon whether the systems in currently powered on or not) using TCP/IP.

Capacity Management

Capacity Management is an easy-to-use resource manage- ment and planning tool for network managers and adminis- trators, allowing you to remotely monitor the performance of servers on the network.

Cluster Manager

Cluster Manager is an application designed to enhance the cluster management capabilities of the Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) administration console, included with Microsoft Windows NT Version 4.0 Enterprise Edition. Clus- ter Manager builds on the power of MSCS, providing an inte- grated graphical interface that enables you to quickly and easily monitor and manage the clustered systems on your network. This service is available only on systems running Windows NT Workstation 4.0.

Netfinity Manager 101

Critical File Monitor

Critical File Monitor can warn you whenever critical system files on the system are deleted or altered. Critical File Moni- tor makes it simple to generate Netfinity alerts when an important System File (such as the CONFIG.SYS file) changes date, time, size, or when it is deleted or created. Critical File Monitor can also be used to monitor any other files that reside on a Netfinity Manager system.

DMI Browser

DMI Browser enables you to examine information about the DMI-compliant hardware and software products installed in or attached to the system.

ECC Memory Setup

The ECC Memory Setup allows for monitoring of ECC mem- ory single-bit errors, and can automatically "scrub," or cor- rect, the ECC memory when errors are detected. Also, a running count of single-bit errors can be kept, and can set a single-bit error threshold that will cause a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) if the ECC single-bit error threshold is exceeded. This service is available for both stand-alone and network use by any system that has ECC memory.

Event Scheduler

Use Event Scheduler to automate many Netfinity Manager services. With Event Scheduler, you can automatically gather and export System Information Tool, System Profile, and Software Inventory data, distribute or delete files, restart systems, execute commands, and access and manage Sys- tem Partitions on all of the Netfinity Manager systems on the network. Scheduled events can be performed one time only, or can be performed according to a user-defined schedule.

File Transfer

Use the File Transfer service to easily send, receive, or delete files or entire directories to and from remote Netfinity Manager systems on the network.

Power-On Error Detect

The Power-On Error Detect service can warn you immedi- ately when a remote Netfinity Manager system has start-up problems, enabling you to react quickly to problems and minimize downtime.

Predictive Failure Analysis

The Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) service enables con- tinual monitoring and managing of PFA-enabled hard disk drives. A PFA-enabled hard disk drive features hardware designed to help detect drive problems and predict drive fail- ures before they occur, thus enabling you to avoid data loss and system downtime.

Process Manager

Use Process Manager to view detailed information about all processes that are currently active on any system. It is also possible to stop or start processes and generate Netfinity Manager alerts if a process starts, stops, or fails to start within a specified amount of time after system startup.

RAID Manager

The RAID Manager service can monitor, manage, and con- figure an assortment of Redundant Arrays of Independent

102 Netfinity 3500-M20 ??? Type 8657 Models 21Y, 22Y, 31Y, 32Y,

Disk (RAID) adapters and arrays without requiring the RAID system to be taken offline to perform maintenance. Use the RAID Manager to gather data about the system RAID array and RAID adapter, rebuild failing drives, add (or remove) logical drives, perform data integrity tests, and many other RAID system tasks. This service is available for stand-alone use and network use by any system that has a supported RAID adapter.

Remote Session

Use Remote Session to establish a fully active command session with any remote Netfinity Manager system.

Remote System Manager

Use Remote System Manager to access and manage any Netfinity Manager service on any Netfinity Manager system in the network. The Netfinity Manager system on the net- work is organized into easy-to-manage logical groups that can be updated automatically using the auto-discovery fea- ture.

Remote Workstation Control

Remote Workstation Control can monitor or control the screen display of a remote system that is running Netfinity Manager (or Client Services for Netfinity Manager). Once you initiate a Remote Workstation Control session with another Netfinity Manager system, you can passively moni- tor events that are occurring on the display of the remote system or actively control the remote system desktop. When you initiate an active Remote Workstation Control session, all clicks and keystrokes that are entered on your system are automatically passed to the remote system. With Remote Workstation Control, you can remotely start programs, open and close windows, enter commands, and much more.

Screen View

The Screen View service takes a "snapshot" of the system graphic display or any remote system running Netfinity Man- ager or Client Services for Netfinity Manager and displays it on the screen. These snapshots can be saved as bitmaps and viewed later.

Security Manager

The Security Manager service can prevent unauthorized access to some or all of the Netfinity Manager services. It uses incoming user ID and password combinations, and is available for network use only.

Serial Connection Control

The Serial Connection Control service enables remote sys- tems running Netfinity Manager to access the system through a phone line and modem. With the Serial Connec- tion Control service, you do not have to be attached to a net- work to benefit from the outstanding remote system access, monitoring, and management capabilities of Netfinity Man- ager.

Note: The system must have a properly installed and con- figured modem that supports at least 9600 baud for the Serial Connection Control service to function.

Netfinity Manager 103

Service Configuration Manager

Service Configuration Manager can save the configuration of a Netfinity Manager service from a selected system to a service configuration file (SCF). Once created, SCF files can be used by Event Scheduler to restore the configuration to the same system, or it can be used (in conjunction with Event Scheduler) to duplicate that configuration on other similar systems you choose.

Software Inventory

Software Inventory enables the user to create and manage software product dictionaries that can be used to easily maintain an inventory of all application programs installed on the system.

System Diagnostics Manager

System Diagnostics Manager enables you to initiate a vari- ety of diagnostic tasks on systems that support ROM-based diagnostics. The results of all previously run diagnostic ses- sions are stored and can be examined using System Diag- nostics Manager to help diagnose and resolve system problems.

System Information Tool

The System Information Tool enables quick and convenient access to detailed information on the hardware and software configurations of the system. System Information Tool gath- ers information about almost any computer; however, the most detail is provided when this service is used with IBM computers. This service is available for both stand-alone and network use.

System Monitor

The System Monitor provides a convenient method of chart- ing and monitoring the activity of a number of components in a system, including processor usage, disk space used, and ECC memory errors. These convenient monitors are detachable and scalable, enabling only the monitors needed to remain available at all times. Use the System Monitor Threshold Manager to set threshold levels for any of the monitored components. When exceeded, these thresholds will generate user-configured alerts.

Data is continually collected from the time the system starts. A sophisticated data-handling technique is used to weigh the individual values, average concurrent samples, and post sin- gle values that accurately reflect long-term system activity.

This technique allows system activity records to be main- tained without creating enormous data files. This service is available for both stand-alone and network use.

System Partition Access

The System Partition Access allows for greatly simplified system partition file handling, both locally and remotely. Individual files and entire directories can be renamed or deleted from the system partition. Individual files can be renamed, deleted, or copied into the system partition. Also, the entire partition can be backed-up, restored, or deleted. This service is available for stand-alone use and network use by any system that has a System Partition.

104 Netfinity 3500-M20 ??? Type 8657 Models 21Y, 22Y, 31Y, 32Y,

System Profile

The System Profile provides a convenient notebook of perti- nent data about a particular user or system. It features many predefined fields for extensive user-specific data, including name, address, office number and location, and phone number. System Profile also includes many pre- defined fields for system-specific data that might not be available to the System Information Tool, including model and serial numbers and date of purchase. Finally, there are many user-definable miscellaneous fields that can be used to hold any data the user or administrator requires.

Update Connector Manager

Use Update Connector Manager to quickly and easily gather information about various updates that are available for your client systems. Once available updates are discovered, use Update Connector Manager to apply updates to your sys- tems remotely. Updates can be applied to individual sys- tems, or you can apply multiple updates to multiple systems, all from Netfinity Manager. You can also use Update Con- nector Manager to remove previously applied updates. Update Connector Manager also includes a scheduler that you can use to discover, apply, or remove updates automati- cally and periodically.

Web Manager Configuration

Use the Web Manager Configuration service to limit access to the Netfinity Manager for Web to user-specified TCP/IP host or ranges of TCP/IP host addresses. Enable or disable the Netfinity Manager for Web and specify the TCP/IP port number to which the Netfinity Manager Web server func- tions.

Delaying Netfinity Manager startup on OS/2 systems

In some cases, it might be necessary for you to delay the automatic startup of the Netfinity Manager Network Interface (NETFBASE.EXE) in order to allow other time-sensitive applications to start up correctly or to allow your system to fully configure itself prior to beginning network operations. NETFBASE.EXE includes a parameter (WAIT) that you can use to specify the number of seconds that NETFBASE.EXE will wait before starting.

During Netfinity Manager installation, the Netfinity Manager Network Interface object is placed in the Startup folder. To configure Netfinity Manager to wait a specified number of seconds before starting:

1.Shut down the Netfinity Manager Network Interface if it is running.

2.Open the Startup folder.

3.Using the right mouse button, click the Netfinity Man- ager Network Interface object. This will open the Net- finity Manager Network Interface context menu.

4.Click Settings to open the Netfinity Manager Network Interface Settings notebook.

5.In the Parameters field type

WAIT:x

Netfinity Manager 105

where x is the number of seconds that you want the Netfinity Manager Network Interface to wait before starting.

6.Close the Netfinity Manager Network Interface Set- tings notebook.

With the WAIT parameter set to x, whenever you start your system, the Netfinity Manager Network Interface will wait x seconds before starting.

Note: This feature is available only on systems that are run- ning OS/2.

Installation options

This appendix describes methods for performing automated installations of Netfinity Manager and creating customized Netfinity Manager installations.

Automated installation

If the system has a CID-enabled (CID stands for customiza- tion, installation, and distribution) software distribution man- ager utility (such as LAN CID, included with IBM Network Transport Services/2), Netfinity Manager can be installed on systems within the network by using the Netfinity Manager installation program command line parameters and response file. First, a source directory must be created for the installation.

To create a source directory for a Client Services for Netfinity Manager installation:

1.Create a new directory on your system. This new directory will serve as a source directory for the pro- gram files.

2.Copy the files from the appropriate Client Services for Netfinity Manager directory location on the CD-ROM to source directory you created.

For example, when creating a source directory to dis- tribute Netfinity Manager Services for OS/2, copy all of the files from the OS2/SERVICES directory into the created directory.

To create a source directory for a Netfinity Manager installa- tion:

1.Create a new directory on your system. This new directory will serve as a source directory for the pro- gram files.

Important:

Be sure to copy the Client Services for Netfinity Man- ager source files before the copying the Netfinity Man- ager source files because the Netfinity Manager directory contains some files that will overwrite files from the Client Services for Netfinity Manager directory. Only Netfinity Manager installations can be done from this directory.

2.Copy the files from the appropriate Client Services for Netfinity Manager directories.

For example, when creating a source directory to dis- tribute Netfinity Manager for OS/2, copy all of the files from the OS2/SERVICES directory into the source directory.

3.Copy the files from the appropriate Netfinity Manager directory.

For example, when creating a source directory to dis- tribute Netfinity Manager for OS/2, copy all of the files from the OS2/MANAGER directory into the source directory.

After an installation source directory has been created, use a response file and the Netfinity Manager installation pro-

108 Netfinity 3500-M20 ??? Type 8657 Models 21Y, 22Y, 31Y, 32Y,

gram command-line parameters. The Netfinity Manager installation program supports the following command-line parameters:

/R: drive+path+filename

Specifies the drive, path, and file name of the response file. See the NETFBASE.RSP file (located in the direc- tory in which Netfinity Manager was installed) for an example of a response file with comments on the included parameters.

/S: drive+path

Specifies the drive and path to install from. This is the directory to which the files were copied.

/T: drive

Specifies the drive to install to. Default is the current startup drive.

/TU: drive+path

Specifies the drive and path of the CONFIG.SYS file to update. The default is to change the CONFIG.SYS in the root directory of the drive specified in the /T param- eter (or the startup drive). This parameter is ignored if the ChangeConfig parameter in the response file is

FALSE.

For example, the line:

NETFINST /R:NETFBASE.RSP /S:Y:\NETFIN /T:C /TU:D:\

will install Netfinity Manager, using the options in the response file NETFBASE.RSP, from the directory Y:\NETFIN, to drive C: (the directory to which the files are installed is taken from the response file), and will modify the CONFIG.SYS file in the D:\ directory.

Note: For information on how to use a CID-enabled soft- ware distribution manager, refer to the publications provided with the individual CID-enabled product.

Customized installation

For security reasons, not all users might need to have access to all services. User access can be restricted by cre- ating a customized installation that will prevent some ser- vices from being installed.

To create a customized installation, the INSTALL.INI file must be edited. For example, when creating a customized Netfinity Manager for Windows 95 or NT installation, edit the INSTALL.INI file that is found on Netfinity Manager directory.

The INSTALL.INI file has three sections, separated by the line

[==]

The first section contains the installation configuration that can be selected during installation. There can be no more than eight choices. Each choice takes up two lines. The first line is the text that is displayed next to the installation configuration radio button. The second line is a list of the options in the third section that will be installed when this choice is selected for installation.

Related service information

Note: The service procedures are designed to help you iso- late problems. They are written with the assumption that you have model-specific training on all comput- ers, or that are familiar with the computers, functions, terminology, and service information provided in this manual.

Safety information

The following section contains the safety information that you need to be familiar with before servicing an IBM mobile computer.

General safety

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

???Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance.

???When lifting any heavy object:

1.Ensure you can stand safely without slipping.

2.Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.

3.Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to lift.

4.Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any objects that weigh more than 16 kg (35 lb) or objects that you think are too heavy for you.

???Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or that makes the equipment unsafe.

???Before you start the machine, ensure that other service representatives and the customer's personnel are not in a hazardous position.

???Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you are servicing the machine.

???Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over it.

???Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a machine. Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.

???Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a nonconductive clip, approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.

???Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your clothing.

Remember: Metal objects are good electrical conduc- tors.

155

???Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling soldering, cutting wire, attaching springs, using sol- vents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.

???After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety device that is worn or defective.

???Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the customer.

Electrical safety

CAUTION:

Electrical current from power, telephone, and communi- cation cables can be hazardous. To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, disconnect the attached power cords, telecommunication systems, networks, and modems before you open the server covers, unless instructed otherwise in the installation and configura- tion procedures.

Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.

Important: Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles covered with a soft material that does not insulate you when working with live electrical currents.

Many customers have, near their equipment, rubber floor mats that contain small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock.

???Find the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch, dis- connecting switch, or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then operate the switch or unplug the power cord quickly.

???Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near equipment that has hazardous voltages.

???Disconnect all power before:

???Performing a mechanical inspection

???Working near power supplies

???Removing or installing main units

???Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the customer to power-off the wall box that supplies power to the machine and to lock the wall box in the off position.

???If you need to work on a machine that has exposed electrical circuits, observe the following precautions:

156 Netfinity 3500-M20 ??? Type 8657 Models 21Y, 22Y, 31Y, 32Y,

???Ensure that another person, familiar with the power-off controls, is near you.

Remember: Another person must be there to switch off the power, if necessary.

???Use only one hand when working with powered- on electrical equipment; keep the other hand in your pocket or behind your back.

Remember: There must be a complete circuit to cause electrical shock. By observing the above rule, you may prevent a current from passing through your body.

???When using testers, set the controls correctly and use the approved probe leads and accessories for that tester.

???Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if necessary) to insulate you from grounds such as metal floor strips and machine frames.

Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages; these instructions are in the safety sections of maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high voltages.

???Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition.

???Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.

???Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. First, check that it has been powered-off.

???Always look carefully for possible hazards in your work area. Examples of these hazards are moist floors, non- grounded power extension cables, power surges, and missing safety grounds.

???Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective surface of a plastic dental mirror. The surface is con- ductive; such touching can cause personal injury and machine damage.

???Do not service the following parts with the power on when they are removed from their normal operating places in a machine:

???Power supply units

???Pumps

???Blowers and fans

???Motor generators

and similar units. (This practice ensures correct grounding of the units.)

???If an electrical accident occurs:

???Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.

???Switch off power.

???Send another person to get medical aid.

Safety inspection guide

The intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in identify- ing potentially unsafe conditions on these products. Each

Related service information 157

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 electri- cal shock).

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

???Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hard- ware

The guide consists of a series of steps presented in a check- list. 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 conti- nuity 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 condi- tions, 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 cir- cuits (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.

158 Netfinity 3500-M20 ??? Type 8657 Models 21Y, 22Y, 31Y, 32Y,

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 elimi- nate 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.

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

Grounding requirements

Electrical grounding of the computer 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 Ser- vice 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 version

???Type and version level

???Hardware configuration

???Print (print screen) configuration currently in use

???BIOS level

???Operating system software

???Type and version level

Note: To eliminate confusion, identical systems are consid- ered identical only if they:

1.Are the exact machine type and models

2.Have the same BIOS level

3.Have the same adapters/attachments in the same locations

4.Have the same address jumpers/termina- tors/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.
