    Important: Good judgment must also be used to identify potential safety hazards due to the attachment of non-IBM features or options that are not covered by this inspection guide. If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine how serious the apparent hazard might be and whether you can continue without first correcting the problem.
  • Page 14 Electrical hazards (especially primary power) Primary voltage on the frame can cause serious or lethal electrical shock. Explosive hazards A damaged CRT face or a bulging capacitor can cause serious injury. Mechanical hazards Loose or missing items (for example, nuts and screws) can cause serious injury. To inspect each node for unsafe conditions, use the following steps.
  • Page 15 Procedure 1. Check for any non-IBM changes that were made to the device. If any are present, obtain the “Non-IBM Alteration Attachment Survey,” form number R009, from the IBM branch office. Complete the form and return it to the branch office.
