Determining if a safety inspection is required

Procedure

Find the condition that applies to your expansion rack:
  • New expansion rack from IBM®. A safety inspection is not required. Continue with Checking the date of last charge for the battery service module (BSM) sets.
  • Not a new expansion rack from IBM and was maintained by IBM. A safety inspection is not required. Continue with Checking the date of last charge for the battery service module (BSM) sets.
  • Not a new expansion rack from IBM and was not maintained by IBM. A safety inspection is required. Continue with Safety inspection in the Service Information Center. The HMC is not yet available so you must locate the IBM DS8000 series Service Documents CD (normally in the Rack-1 front upper left documentation enclosure). Start the information center on the CD.
    • At the management console, launch the service information center, then open Safety > Safety inspection > Expansion rack safety inspection.
    • Then return here and continue at the next section.
