Safety Inspection Guide:
The intent of this
inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potentially
unsafe conditions on these products. Each machine, as it
was designed and built, had required safety items installed
to protect users and service personnel from injury. This
guide addresses only those items. However, good
judgment should be used to identify potential safety
hazards due to attachment of non-IBM features or options
not covered by this inspection guide.
If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine
how serious the apparent hazard could be and whether
you can continue without first correcting the problem.
Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they
present:
Ÿ
Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary
voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal
electrical shock).
Ÿ
Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or
bulging capacitor
Ÿ
Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing
hardware
The guide consists of a series of steps presented in a
checklist. Begin the checks with the power off, and the
power cord disconnected.
Checklist:
1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or
sharp edges).
2. Power-off the computer. Disconnect the power cord.
3. Check the power cord for:
a. A third-wire ground connector in good condition.
Use a meter to measure third-wire ground
continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the
external ground pin and frame ground.
b. The power cord should be the appropriate type
as specified in the parts listings.
c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.
4. Remove the cover.
5. Check for any obvious non-IBM alterations. Use good
judgment as to the safety of any non-IBM alterations.
6. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe
conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water
or other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.
7. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
8. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws
or rivets) have not been removed or tampered with.
Handling Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive
Devices:
Any computer part containing transistors or
integrated circuits (ICs) should be considered sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur
when there is a difference in charge between objects.
