Safety notices may be printed throughout this guide:
• DANGER notices call attention to a situation that is potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to people.
• CAUTION notices call attention to a situation that is potentially hazardous to people because of some
existing condition.
• Attention notices call attention to the possibility of damage to a program, device, system, or data.
• Stability hazard:
– The rack may tip over causing serious personal injury.
– Before extending the rack to the installation position, read the installation instructions.
– Do not put any load on the slide-rail mounted equipment mounted in the installation position.
– Do not leave the slide-rail mounted equipment in the installation position.
• Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord.
– For AC powered racks, be sure to disconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet when directed
to disconnect power during servicing.
– For racks with a DC power distribution panel (PDP), turn off the circuit breaker that controls
the power to the system unit(s), or disconnect the customer’s DC power source, when
directed to disconnect power during servicing.
• Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack
cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device
installed in a different rack cabinet.
• An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal parts
of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to
ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (R001 part
1 of 2)
(R001 part 2 of 2):
CAUTION:
• Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the
manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.
• Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not
blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.
• Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that
overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To
provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the
equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
• (For sliding drawers.) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer
brackets are not attached to the rack or if the rack is not bolted to the floor. Do not pull out more
than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer
at a time.

Safety notices xi
• LIFT TOOL intended for use to assist, lift, install, remove units (load) up into rack elevations. It is
not to be used loaded transporting over major ramps nor as a replacement for such designated
tools like pallet jacks, walkies, fork trucks and such related relocation practices. When this is not
practicable, specially trained persons or services must be used (for instance, riggers or movers).
• Read and completely understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's manual before using.
Failure to read, understand, obey safety rules, and follow instructions may result in property
damage and/or personal injury. If there are questions, contact the vendor's service and support.
Local paper manual must remain with machine in provided storage sleeve area. Latest revision
manual available on vendor's web site.
• Test verify stabilizer brake function before each use. Do not over-force moving or rolling the LIFT
TOOL with stabilizer brake engaged.
• Do not raise, lower or slide platform load shelf unless stabilizer (brake pedal jack) is fully
engaged. Keep stabilizer brake engaged when not in use or motion.
• Do not move LIFT TOOL while platform is raised, except for minor positioning.
• Do not exceed rated load capacity. See LOAD CAPACITY CHART regarding maximum loads at
center versus edge of extended platform.
• Only raise load if properly centered on platform. Do not place more than 200 lb (91 kg) on edge
of sliding platform shelf also considering the load's center of mass/gravity (CoG).
• Do not corner load the platforms, tilt riser, angled unit install wedge or other such accessory
options. Secure such platforms -- riser tilt, wedge, etc options to main lift shelf or forks in all four
(4x or all other provisioned mounting) locations with provided hardware only, prior to use. Load
objects are designed to slide on/off smooth platforms without appreciable force, so take care
not to push or lean. Keep riser tilt [adjustable angling platform] option flat at all times except for
final minor angle adjustment when needed.
• Do not stand under overhanging load.
• Do not use on uneven surface, incline or decline (major ramps).
• Do not stack loads.
• Do not operate while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not support ladder against LIFT TOOL (unless the specific allowance is provided for one
following qualified procedures for working at elevations with this TOOL).
• Tipping hazard. Do not push or lean against load with raised platform.
• Do not use as a personnel lifting platform or step. No riders.
• Do not stand on any part of lift. Not a step.
• Do not climb on mast.
• Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning LIFT TOOL machine.
• Crush and pinch point hazard below platform. Only lower load in areas clear of personnel and
obstructions. Keep hands and feet clear during operation.
• No Forks. Never lift or move bare LIFT TOOL MACHINE with pallet truck, jack or fork lift.
• Mast extends higher than platform. Be aware of ceiling height, cable trays, sprinklers, lights, and
other overhead objects.
• Do not leave LIFT TOOL machine unattended with an elevated load.
• Watch and keep hands, fingers, and clothing clear when equipment is in motion.

1. Back up the data on the drive you plan to remove depending on the operating system you are using.
• AIX: Ensure that all data on that drive or the array that contains the drive is backed up and removed
from the drive.
– If the drive that is being replaced is protected by Raid-5, Raid-6, or Raid-10 and the array remains
functional after removing the drive, it is not necessary to back up or remove data.
– If the drive you are removing is a mirrored drive, you must suspend mirror protection on the drive
before you remove the drive. Contact your system administrator for assistance.
– If the drives are just a bunch of disks (JBOD) or a Raid array that will not remain functional when
the drive is removed (that is, Raid-0), ensure that the disks are in the defined state by
completing the following steps:
a. Remove data access methods from the JBOD or failing array (that is, file systems, databases,
and so on).
b. Delete the array.
c. Unconfigure the JBOD.
• IBM i: Ensure that all data on that drive or the array that contains the drive is backed up and
removed from the drive. If the drive that is being replaced is protected by RAID-5, RAID-6, RAID-10,
or mirroring, it is not necessary to back up or remove data.
• Linux: Ensure that all data on that drive or the array that contains the drive is backed up and
removed from the drive.
– If the drive that is being replaced is protected by RAID, it is not necessary to back up or remove
data.
– If the drive you are removing is mirrored, you need to break the mirror before you remove the
drive. Contact your system administrator for assistance.
– If the drives are just a bunch of disks (JBOD), ensure that the disks are in the defined state.

Attention:
• Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD jack,
or to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent the electrostatic discharge from
damaging your hardware.
• When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap is
used for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock
when using or working on electrical equipment.
• If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging
and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a
minimum of 5 seconds. If at any point in this service process you move away from the
system, it is important to again discharge yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface for
at least 5 seconds before you continue with the service process.
Permanently removing a disk drive or solid-state drive from the 9009-41A, 9009-41G,
9009-42A, 9009-42G, 9223-42H, or 9223-42S system
To permanently remove a disk drive or solid-state drive (SSD) from the system, complete the steps in this
procedure.
Procedure
1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged
into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
2. Complete the following steps:
a) Unlock the drive handle (B) by pressing the handle release latch (A) in the direction that is shown,
and pulling out the handle toward you. If the handle is not all the way out, the drive cannot slide out
of the system.
Procedure
1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged
into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
2. Using your labels, reconnect the power cords (A) to the system unit.
Fasten the power cords (A) to the system using the hook-and-loop fasteners (B) as shown in Figure 36
on page 58 or Figure 37 on page 59.
What to do next
You can now manage the drives as you would manage any other drives.
Procedure
1. If the system has logical partitions, complete this procedure from the logical partition that owns the
SSD.
2. From the AIX command line, type the following command and press Enter:
/usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/pdiskfg -d pdiskX, where X is the physical disk (pdisk) number
of the mainstream SSD.
3. Is the value in the Life Remaining Gauge field less than or equal to 2 percent?
• Yes: Continue with the next step.
• No: The mainstream SSD is not reporting a change in status for the number of write operations
available.
4. Is the value in the Life Remaining Gauge field 0 percent?
• Yes: Continue with step “5” on page 62.
• No: Continue with step “6” on page 63.
5. The mainstream SSD reached the limit for the number of write operations that are supported. Write
operations to the SSD become slower over time, and at some point the SSD becomes a read-only
drive. When the operating system writes to the read-only drive, the write operations are rejected, and
the operating system considers the drive as if a failure occurred. For example, if the operating system
writes to a drive that is in a RAID array and if the write operations are rejected, the array becomes
exposed. To support normal write operations, the drive must be replaced.
Procedure
1. If the system has logical partitions, complete this procedure from the logical partition that owns the
SSD.
2. Sign on to an IBM i session with the QSECOFR user profile.
3. To create a report in a spool file, type the following command at the XPF command line and press
Enter.
4. Display the contents of the spool file. The spool file contains a report for mainstream SSDs. For each of
the SSDs in the report, continue with the next step.
5. Is the value in the Life Remaining Gauge field less than or equal to 2 percent?
• Yes: Continue with the next step.
• No: The mainstream SSD is not reporting a change in status for the number of write operations
available.
6. Is the value in the Life Remaining Gauge field 0 percent?
• Yes: Continue with step “7” on page 63.
• No: Continue with step “8” on page 63.
7. The mainstream SSD reached the limit for the number of write operations that are supported. Write
operations to the SSD become slower over time, and at some point the SSD becomes a read-only
drive. When the operating system writes to the read-only drive, the write operations are rejected, and
the operating system considers the drive as if a failure occurred. For example, if the operating system
writes to a drive that is in a RAID array and if the write operations are rejected, the array becomes
exposed. To support normal write operations, the drive must be replaced.
Replacement of the mainstream SSD might not be covered by the system's level of service
entitlement, depending on the terms and conditions of the system. For more information about
mainstream SSDs, see “Mainstream solid-state drives” on page 60. This ends the procedure.
8. The mainstream SSD is nearing the limit for the number of write operations that are supported. No
service action is required currently.
Note: After the mainstream SSD reaches the limit for the number of write operations that are
supported, write operations to the SSD become slower over time, and at some point the SSD becomes
a read-only drive. To support normal write operations, the drive must be replaced. Replacement of the
mainstream SSD might not be covered by the system's level of service entitlement, depending on the
