CAUTION: All IBM laser modules are designed so that there is never any human access to laser radiation above a class 1 level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service conditions. Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules that operate at greater than class 1 power levels.
Data Integrity and Verification IBM computer systems contain mechanisms designed to reduce the possibility of undetected data corruption or loss. This risk, however, cannot be eliminated. Users who experience unplanned outages, system failures, power fluctuations or outages, or component failures must verify the accuracy of operations performed and data saved or transmitted by the system at or near the time of the outage or failure.

For further information about activating processor CUoD on your system, refer to “Activation Process for CUoD Features” on page 32, or refer to the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide, order number SA38-0590, that was delivered with your hardware management console.
Permanent CUoD capacity can be activated in either one of the following scenarios. The description of each scenario indicates if and when it is necessary to send vital product data (VPD) to IBM. v New system order (new footprint): An order can contain a number of CUoD-activation features. The manufacturing facility fills orders directly at the plant of manufacture, before the server is delivered to the customer.
CUoD activation features will not be fulfilled until you submit the VPD through the Electronic Service Agent or manually to http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/pseries/cuod/index.html. When you enter a CUoD activation code, standby processors or memory will immediately become activated for use. If your operating system is enabled for dynamic logical partitioning operations, the resource status changes from standby to active.

Raised-floor environments can be low-raised or high-raised floors. For additional information on site planning for the system, refer to pSeries 670 information in Chapter 2 of the Site and Hardware Planning Information. The frame ground straps provided with the system are intended for use with a grounded raised floor.

Appendix E. Attaching Multiple pSeries 670s to One Hardware Management Console This appendix details how to attach multiple pSeries 670 servers to one HMC. The HMC might have an 8-port async adapter or a 128-port async adapter installed to allow multiple servers to connect. Procedures for configuring both of the async adapters follow.
If you are using a second, redundant HMC, connect cables from all the pSeries 670 HMC1 ports to the 8-port cable on the primary HMC, and connect all the pSeries 670 HMC2 ports to the 8-port cable on the redundant HMC.
128-Port Async Adapter Line Connectors The 128-port async adapter contains two 15-pin D-shell connectors. The connector that is closest to the edge connector that plugs into the HMC is line 1. The RANs are cabled in a daisy chain and are terminated using a line terminator.
When a 128-port async adapter is installed in the HMC and the HMC is first used, the adapter must be configured. For instructions on how to install and configure the 8-port adapter in the system via the HMC, see the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide.
Page 145
Question: How many boards would you like to install? Answer: Enter the total number of 8-port and/or 128 -port async adapters that are installed in the HMC PC. b. Question: Board #1. What type of board is this? (’L’ for list) Answer: Use board type 16 (IBM 128-port async PCI) c.
If you are using a second, redundant HMC, connect cables from all the pSeries 670 HMC1 ports to the RAN on the primary HMC, and connect all the pSeries 670 HMC2 ports to the RANs on the redundant HMC.
Service Focal Point v Problem Determination If the pSeries 670 is not displayed on the HMC interface, refer to the Eserver pSeries 670 Service Guide for additional information. Verify that the installation is complete for each pSeries 670 that you have connected to the HMC using the serial port, the 8-port async adapter, or the 128-port async adapter.
