IBM PC360 - Hardfile noise or vibration

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
The IBM PC 360-S200 6598 systems may exhibit hardfile noise or cover vibration in excess of prior IBM PC Products.

Problem Isolation Guidance:
None

Fix:
Do not replace parts. This is not a hardware problem. The PC 360 6598 systems use a more advanced high performance SCSI hard drive which spins at speeds in excess of 7200 RPM depending on the drive model. This increase in drive RPM may lead the user to conclude that there is a problem due to the increased noise or vibration when compared to other types of PC products. This is a design characteristic of the PC 360 which has met industry specifications for vibration and noise. Repositioning the system has proven to lessen or eliminate what the customer may perceive as excessive noise or vibration.
