Rack Inventory; Hardware Management Console (If Not Installed); Tool Kits; Step 6. Position And Level The Rack - IBM pseries 655 Installation Manual

v Service Tool (used for performing service procedures on a processor subsystem)
Verify with the customer that the following items are available. You will need them to complete this
installation.
v A floor plan, showing where to place each rack
v The items necessary for installing a modem, including the correct telephone jack, line cords, cables, and
a power source
Note: These items are not necessary if there is an existing system that has an HMC managing the
system resources.
For information on the HMC inventory, refer to the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries
Installation and Operations Guide.

Rack Inventory

v Front and rear door for the rack
v Two power cords
v Display(s) and keyboard for the Hardware Management Console for pSeries (if an existing HMC is not
already installed and available for the system being installed).

Hardware Management Console (If Not Installed)

v Hardware Management Console (HMC). One HMC is standard; a second HMC is optional.
v Power cords
v Display and keyboard
Asynchronous Adapters
v 8-port asynchronous adapters are required for the HMC. One adapter is required for each HMC being
installed. The 8-port asynchronous adapter connects the HMC to the Bulk Power Controllers (BPCs)
through its connector box.
v 128-port asynchronous adapters can be installed depending upon the system configuration and the
number of processor subsystems being installed. Numerous processor subsystems can be connected to
the HMCs through 128-port asynchronous adapters and RANs.

Tool Kits

The following tool kits are shipped with the system:
v Processor subsystem tools (part number 44P1461, MFI 00P4635)
v I/O subsystem tools (part number 44P2629, MFI 00P4652)
Ensure that these tools are placed in the rack toolbox located at the bottom front of the rack.

Step 6. Position and Level the Rack

To adjust the leveler feet on the rack, do the following:
1. Ensure the rack is positioned according to the customer plan.
2. Loosen the jam nut on each leveler foot by turning the nut counterclockwise (away from the bottom of
the rack).
3. Rotate each leveler foot downward until it contacts the surface on which the rack is placed.
4. Adjust the leveler feet downward as needed until the rack is level. When the rack is level, tighten the
jam nuts against the base by turning the nut clockwise (toward the bottom of the rack).
