IBM PS/2 - Vertical mounting of 8530/8550/8555/8570 not supported
Applicable to: World-Wide
Service Information:
Based on the requirements of the various approval agencies to which our products are certified, IBM does not support the mounting of PS/2 models 8530, 8550, 8555, 8570 or 8590 in any orientation other than horizontal. IBM's concerns are threefold:
1. Absent a stabilizing brace, the physical stability of the machines will not meet U/L safety standards.
2. The machine's side cover louvers will not meet various requirments designed to restrict the introduction of conductive materials (such as paper clips, etc.) into the machine enclosure.
3. the machine's side cover louvers do not meet bottom enclosure requirements designed to prevent the escape of molten materials from a machine that has been subject to an internal fire or severe electrical short circuit.
Vertical mounting does not subject these machines to functional problems and therefore will not void the end user limited warranty. However, customers who have mounted such machines in an orientation other than horizontal should be made aware that such use may invalidate UL and/or CSA safety listings. reference underwriters lab 478, sections 5.15 through 5.19; canadian standards association no. canadian standards 220, section 4.2.3.2 and 4.2.7.4-5.
PS/2 models 8535/40, 8556/57, 9556/57, and 9576/77 are supported in a horizontal or vertical position when using the supplied floor stand.
