For translations of the danger and caution notices, see Expandable Storage Plus 2104 Model DS4 and Model TS4 Translated Safety Notices, SC26-7558. The notices are listed in numeric order based on their IDs, which are displayed in parentheses, at the end of each notice.
Before you install a new part, touch the static-protective package that contains the part against an unpainted metal part of the 2104 Model DS4 or host system for at least 2 seconds. This reduces the static electricity in the package and in your body.
Internal machine checks Perform the following internal machine checks: 1. Check for any non-IBM changes that might have been made to the machine. 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.
Safety label checks Perform the following safety label checks: 1. Verify that the label is installed on the 2104 Model DS4. See Figure 1. SC000274 Figure 1. 2104 Model DS4 label 2. Verify that the linecord caution label is installed on the 2104 Model DS4 power supply.
CAUTION: Do not remove cover, do not service, no serviceable parts. (2) Figure 3. Power supply cover caution label 4. Verify that the fusing caution label is installed on the 2104 Model DS4 power supply. See Figure 4. CAUTION: Double Pole/Neutral Fusing. (3) Figure 4.
32 Kg (70.5 lbs). You must remove at least six drives from the 2104 Model DS4 before you lift it or install it into a rack or 2104 Model TS4. This reduces the total weight to less than 32 Kg (70.5 lbs) and the 2104 Model can then be safely handled by two people.
Use an ohm meter to connect one lead to the 2104 Model DS4 chassis and the other lead to the third wire ground pin at the face of the power connectors that you unplugged in step 2.

If you are servicing a 220-volt 2104 Model DS4, go to step 5. If you are servicing a -48 volt 2104 Model DS4, go to step 7. 5. Check for continuity between the chassis of the 2104 Model DS4 and the ground pin 1 of the power connector on each fan-and-power-supply assembly.
Page 19
If you are servicing a 220-volt 2104 Model DS4, go to step 10. If you are servicing a -48 volt 2104 Model DS4, see the installation document for the rack or host system to isolate the fault. Perform the complete grounding check again.
Removing power from a 2104 Model DS4 Note: Unless you have a particular reason to do so, do not remove power from the host system or from the 2104 Model DS4 unless the instructions that you are following tell you to.

For a single-bus mode configuration, the SCSI bus split switch on the card of a 2104 Model DS4 must be set to off. Each 2104 Model DS4 can be connected to one external SCSI connector on a SCSI adapter card, or to one integrated SCSI port, in a host system. If an adapter card has four external SCSI connectors, it can be connected to up to four 2104 Model DS4s.
