PC Server 320 - ECA007: Power supply replacement

Applicable to: United States

This ECA applies to the USA only.

Abstract :
ECA007, PC SERVER 320 Power Supply Replacement

NOTE : This ECA is only relevant for US / BRAZIL with built systems 23xxxxx and 82xxxxx S/Nos. respectively. It is NOT relevant for any other systems.

Purpose :
This ECA provides for the replacement of the power supply in eligible PC Server 320 systems. This is an AS REQUIRED ECA and must be applied to all affected systems. The new power supply prevents an over-voltage condition at power-on that may cause damage to the system components.

This ECA expires June 14, 2002.

8640 B/M0000000 PC SERVER 320 MFG. B/M0000000 00.8 00.6
BEFORE 10/1/96
(MFG DATE: 610 AND
EARLIER)


Physical Check :
There is a S/N list of PC Server 320s with the suspect power supply. The list has both the system S/N and the bar code of the power supply that the system was built with. Before going on-site, call the Support Center or the HelpCenter to determine if the PC Server 320 is on the suspect list.

Systems manufactured after October 1, 1996 (MFG DATE: 610 and later on the rear serial number label) are NOT affected.

A good power supply has a SQUARE fan grill (FRU p/n 71G0044 and IBM p/n 71G0662) OR a ROUND fan grill (IBM p/n 76H4079).
Do not replace these power supplies.

The suspect power supply has a ROUND fan grill (IBM p/n 06H9111).
Replace this power supply with FRU p/n 71G0044.


Description FRU P/N IBM P/N Comment
-----------------------------------------------------------
Square grill (ASTEC) 71G0044 71G0662 Good
Round grill (API) N/A 76H4079 Good
Round grill (API); on S/N list N/A 06H9111 Replace

Detail :
Call the Support Center or the HelpCenter with the serial number of the PC Server 320 in question. If the serial number matches one on the list, then order the power supply FRU p/n 71G0044. Once on-site, inspect the power supply to determine if it needs replacement.

The FRU p/n 71G0044 comes with a power switch attached to the power supply. When installing this FRU, remove the power switch (mounted internally with a screw) from the Server.

Notes :
If the Server is up and running, then the components are NOT at risk unless the power cord is unplugged and then reconnected.

System components may be damaged over time if the suspect power supply is not replaced and the power cord is unplugged and reconnected.

This ECA expires June 14, 2002.

IBM/TSS CEs should record all time and parts to Service Code 33, ECA007, Other Office 990.
