 Abstract:  SAFE HANDLING PROCEDURE FOR PC300GL/PL, 6893 SYSTEMS

 TEXT:
 The purpose of this tip is to provide recommended safe
 handling instructions for lifting or carrying the IBM
 PC300GL, IBM PC300PL, and 6893 E-Pro systems.

 Depending on how much pressure is used when lifting or
 moving the system, the servicer or customer may obtain
 small fingertip cuts if the sharp metal edges of the EMC
 shield at the back of the system unit are grasped.

 The following machine types and models are affected:

   IBM PC300GL Series 6561 Systems   All Models
   IBM PC300PL Series 6562 Systems   All Models
   IBM PC300PL Series 6862 Systems   All Models
   IBM E-Pro   Series 6893 Systems   All Models

 When viewing the metal EMC shield located at the back of
 the system unit, the exposed metal "fingers" are located in
 the following positions:

                                5 Metal "Fingers"
                          _____________________________
                          É   É    É    É    É     É  É
     6 Metal "Fingers"    É                           É

 To avoid the EMC edges, it is recommended that these system
 units be grasped and carried at the left and right sides
 instead of the front and back of the system unit.

 If the system unit must be carried by grasping the front and
 back, it is recommended that the indention at the center rear
 of the system unit be used as a lifting point rather than the
 EMC shield area shown above.

 Beginning July 1998, a re-designed EMC shield will be used
 on all machine types and models identified above.
