System Safety Inspection

A safety inspection for the system should be performed:

• When it is inspected for an IBM· maintenance agreement

• When IBM service is requested and no service has recently been performed by

IBM

• When an alterations and attachments review is performed

• When changes have been made to the equipment that might affect its safety

If the inspection indicates safety conditions that are not acceptable, the conditions

must be corrected before IBM services the machine.

Note: The correction of any unsafe condition is the responsibility of the owner of

the system.

While performing this inspection, special attention must be given to these areas:

• Feature and model changes and engineering change (EC) upgrades

• Additions of non-IBM power supplies or attachments

• Missing safety covers

• Removed, faded, or painted-over labels

• Replacement requirements concerning parts for primary power

• Any other items related to the product's safety

Before you start, you must have completed the Electrical Safety Education Course

for IBM Customer Engineers (self-study course 77170 or similar).

• An IBM customer engineer (CE) tool kit (or similar)

• A copy of customer engineering memorandums (CEMs), which include engi-
