Ensure that you perform an internal
device check before you install or service the SAN Volume Controller.
To conduct the internal device check, perform the following
steps:
- Check for any non-IBM® changes
that might have been made to the device. 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.
- Check the condition of the inside of the device for any
metal or other contaminants, or any indications of water, other fluid,
fire, or smoke damage.
- Check for any obvious mechanical problems, such as loose
components.
- Check any exposed cables and connectors for wear, cracks,
or pinching.
