tape drives. The Robotics SCSI I/O are provided through VHDCI 68-pin SCSI  
connectors located on the library controller board.  
The library can also be attached to fibre channel networks using a Fibre Channel  
Option (FCO) card (part number: 59P6657).  
Front panel  
The front panel of the library includes the left and right magazine doors, an  
internal viewing window, a touch screen, and a library status LED as shown in

Figure 8. Library controller adapter and PCI slots  
The library controller board contains a single microprocessor and associated logic  
devices to control all robotics operations and manage overall library functions. The  
microprocessor enables the SCSI interface between the library and the host system,  
including Web TLC (Total Library Control).  
Web TLC is built into the library controller board. Web TLC enables you to  
remotely monitor and control the tape library from any terminal on a local  
network or access the internet. For more information on Web TLC, see Chapter 8,  
“Web TLC” on page 63.  
Robotics  
The library contains robotics which consist of a cartridge shuttle, motor hardware,  
motor drives, and other support electronics. The robotics can pick up and place  
tapes throughout a 180° arc that consists of the tape drives, tape cartridge  
magazines, and an optional cartridge elevator.  
The cartridge shuttle assembly includes a mounted bar code reader for scanning  
tape cartridges installed in the magazines and tape drives as shown in Figure 9 on  
page 8.  
A full bar code reader scan and a physical scan are conducted each time the library  
is powered up or a tape magazine is exchanged.

Multi-module library systems  
The 4560SLX Tape Library is an expandable tape library that can be configured in  
a variety of module and drive combinations. The drives are mounted in a  
removable drive shoe that enables easy installation and removal. Therefore, a failed  
drive can be swapped without the server or library power needing to be cycled.  
The library can be stacked with additional library modules to form a  
multi-module, rack-mounted configuration. All multi-module libraries in the stack  
can operate together as a single virtual library system through a rear-mounted  
cartridge elevator as shown in Figure 10. Stacked units are interconnected through  
their rear panel Ethernet connections and an external Ethernet router mounted to  
the rack.

library control software as a single library. For multi-module applications, the top  
library module becomes the primary master module and all other libraries become  
slave modules.  
The library robotics pick up and place tape cartridges into an elevator so that  
individual tapes can be passed up or down between libraries in a multi-unit  
library configuration.  
The 4560SLX Tape Library supports fail-over protection for multi-unit library  
configurations. In the event of a master module failure, a pre-selected slave  
module can become the fail over master. For example, if the primary master library  
fails, you can invoke the library system fail-over mode. In this mode, one of the  
connected slave units serves as the secondary master library, communicating with  
the host system through the SCSI interface. The source of power to the cartridge  
elevator drive motor is switched from the original primary master library to the  
newly-assigned secondary master library.

SCSI cable configurations  
The 4560SLX Tape Library supports multiple SCSI cable configurations on single  
and dual host systems.  
SCSI interface connectors  
The library should be attached to a low voltage differential SCSI bus. Each tape  
drive in the library and its robotics is a separate SCSI device. When two or more  
devices are connected to the same SCSI bus, each SCSI device must be assigned a  
unique SCSI ID. For information on assigning SCSI IDs, see “Setting a SCSI ID” on  
page 21.  
To connect a library to a host system, the host system must have at least one wide  
LVD controller and the appropriate device driver software.  
Interface cable specifications  
The library is a high-performance system. To avoid degradation of performance,  
use the highest quality interface cables from a reputable manufacturer of computer  
cables. All SCSI cables used with the library should meet the following cable  
specifications:  
v Shielded or double-shielded as required to meet EMI specifications  
v Impedance match with cable terminators that meet current SCSI specifications  
v Characteristic impedance 115 ohms  
All SCSI cables used with the library should meet the following usage guidelines:  
v Each end of a twisted pair ground connected to chassis ground  
v Maximum cable length of 39 ft. (12 m) for an LVD SCSI bus  
v Cables of different impedances should not be used together  
Additional specifications to ensure the highest SCSI performance can be found in  
the current version of ANSI X3.131.

SCSI configuration  
Your specific configuration will depend on the speed of your host and SCSI  
controller. The library uses high performance tape drives. The tape drive  
performance might be degraded if you attach too many drives to a single SCSI  
host controller.

Figure 47. Edit Passwords Options screen  
Each password is represented by four decimal digits that are stored in NVRAM  
(non-volatile memory) in a range of 0001 to 9999. 0000 is used to disable password  
verification for that level.  
Enabling a password causes all disabled higher levels to also be enabled to that  
value. As a result, prior to accessing a higher level operation, you are prompted  
first to enter the higher level password. This prevents someone from entering an  
unprotected Menu mode and changing the lower-level password to defeat it.  
You can also use a higher level password to gain access to a lower level operation.  
For example, you can use the Service password to access the Move Media  
operation. This gives full access (without validating) to the service operations.  
Media can also be locked by software running on the host. The library does not  
provide a touch screen override for this command. Usually, exiting the host  
software restores media access. In the event of host failure, you can restore media  
access by cycling the library power. Procedures for locking and unlocking  
magazine doors and media are described later in this chapter.  
Online  
Status  
This option enables you to place the library online or offline. By default the library  
comes online after a power-up initialization.  
This option displays the Library Initialization screen. You can identify a tape drive  
type and view physical tape drive status, tape drive cleaning information, and tape  
cartridge information by opening the corresponding areas on the screen as shown  
in Figure 48 on page 40.

Using tape cartridges  
This section describes how to remove magazines, insert cartridges into a magazine,  
use the mail slot, and use bar codes.  
Removing magazines  
A magazine must be removed from the library in order to replace tape cartridges.  
Before you remove a magazine, make sure the slot you want to use is not already  
reserved for a tape cartridge that is in a tape drive. The safest way to do this is to  
unload all tape drives before removing a magazine. You can unload all the tape  
drives either through your host system software or by using the Move Media  
option on the library default screen.  
You must manually remove the library magazines. To access the magazines, use  
the Magazine Access Option Default screen. This option enables you to open the  
left or right magazine doors separately or both magazine doors at the same time.  
After opening the appropriate magazine door, pull the magazine out and away  
from the library chassis as shown in Figure 50 on page 41.

Running a cleaning cartridge  
You can manage the cleaning of the installed tape drives automatically by enabling  
Auto Clean mode or manually by selecting the Clean Drive menu option from the  
Maintenance submenu on the front panel display.  
Note: It is good practice to run a cleaning cartridge using the Auto Clean Mode.  
Automatically running a cleaning cartridge  
You can configure the library to automatically run the cleaning cartridge. If a tape  
drive needs cleaning, it sends a message to the library. This activates an automatic  
cleaning cycle (if the cleaning cartridge slot has been reserved and Auto Clean  
mode has been selected from the Options menu).  
To automatically run a cleaning cartridge using Auto Clean mode, reserve a  
cleaning cartridge slot and enable the Auto Clean mode.

Manually running a cleaning cartridge  
You can manually run a cleaning cartridge from three locations:  
v The mail slot - Running a cleaning cartridge from this location does not require  
a magazine to be removed, a data cartridge slot to be used, or a cleaning  
cartridge slot to be reserved.  
v A data cartridge slot - Running a cleaning cartridge from this location requires a  
magazine to be removed so that a cleaning cartridge can be inserted in a data  
cartridge slot.  
v The cleaning slot - Running a cleaning cartridge from this location requires the  
last data cartridge slot be reserved for exclusive use as a cleaning cartridge slot.  
The advantage of this method is that the cleaning cartridge is stored in the  
library and is always available for use. It only needs to be handled when it  
needs to be replaced.

Chapter 6. Troubleshooting  
The following information might be useful if you experience problems using the  
4560SLX Tape Library.  
Platform problems  
Incorrectly installing or configuring the 4560SLX Tape Drive can cause platform  
problems. In this occurs, the library appears to be operating normally, but no data  
can be interchanged. An error code might be displayed on the touch screen. To  
identify this type of problem, check your installation and configuration setup. For  
information on how to correctly install and configure the library, see Chapter 2,  
“Installation” on page 11.  
General drive errors usually result from a miscommunication between the library  
and tape drive, or from a mechanical malfunction within the library. The touch  
screen displays error messages and fault symptom codes (FSCs) when platform  
problems and general drive errors occur. Use the FSCs to report errors to IBM  
technical support or to determine a recovery procedure.

Appendix B. Adding a library module  
The 4560SLX architecture is uniquely suited to growing storage needs. It enables  
the robotics in the 4560SLX Tape Library to exchange cartridges by means of a  
pass-through cartridge elevator, integrating the robotics of each individual module  
into a single high-performance library robotics system. The 4560SLX Tape Library  
can be modified by adding modules and cartridge elevators. Add drives to speed  
performance or magazine space for greater capacity.  
The major steps needed to install a cartridge elevator are as follows:  
1. Rack preparation  
Verify the correct installation and alignment of the rack-mounted modules as  
described in Chapter 2, “Installation” on page 11. This is crucial when installing  
a cartridge elevator. Re-alignment of modules might be required during  
installation of a cartridge elevator.  
2. Verify minimum firmware  
Check the firmware level of the module you select as the master control  
module. The top module in the rack is the master control module.  
3. Mechanical installation  
Substeps include:  
v Installing a router  
v Installing a module in the rack  
v Assembling the cartridge elevator (the 10U is factory assembled)  
Combinations of the base unit and available extensions can be added to  
accommodate virtually any configuration of SDLT modules up to a total of  
40U.  
v Installing a cartridge elevator in the rack-mounted modules  
4. Configuration  
Touch screen inputs to configure master and slave modules  
5. Cabling  
v Motor cable from the master module to the primary cartridge elevator  
v 10BaseT cables from the router to master and slave modules  
6. Secondary master  
Substeps include:  
v Configuring the secondary master  
v Initiating fail-over  
v Restoring the primary master  
Planning your installation  
The multiple module cartridge elevator is intended to be mounted in a standard  
19-inch equipment rack with a depth of 24 to 30 inches. There are two cartridge  
elevator accessories:  
v 10U base cartridge elevator (Part number: 59P6662)  
v 5U cartridge elevator extension (Part number: 59P6663)  
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2002  
69  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
The cartridge elevator is composed of a 10U motor drive assembly with extensions  
equal to the combined heights of the number of modules installed in the rack. You  
will need to install an additional extension section and timing belt with each  
additional library you install.  
Prepare each module in a multi-unit library system for cartridge elevator  
installation by removing the cartridge elevator cover blanks, drive shoe assemblies  
(drive 2), and the blank drive shoe covers while they are outside of the storage  
cabinet. Alignment of the modules might be necessary during the installation.  
Positioning the modules  
The cartridge elevator motor drive section must be mounted at the top of the  
module stack. The top module is designated as the master through the touch  
screen and it senses the position of each module during initialization at power-up.  
The other modules are designated as slaves.  
For ease of installation, the router should be mounted at the top rear of the rack  
above the master module, allowing for easy expansion of your storage capability.  
Cartridge elevator router  
The cartridge elevator router is an 8-port configured device. It is a plug-and-play  
device when installed in a standard rack and connected by 10BaseT cables to  
individual modules. The router can support up to seven libraries. It is  
pre-configured specifically for use with a multi-module library. The router is  
physically encased in a rack-mountable shelf to be installed in the rack.  
Router installation  
To install the cartridge elevator router, complete the following procedure:  
1. Verify that power is not applied to the router and that the power cord is not  
connected.

Installing the cartridge elevator  
To install the cartridge elevator, complete the following procedure:  
Note: The following procedure assumes that the modules have been prepared for  
rack-mount installation or are installed in a rack.  
1. Ensure that the router is mounted at the top of the rack.  
2. If modules are rack-mounted, verify that all units are powered down and the  
power cords are removed.  
Note: Attempting to install the cartridge elevator to a fully powered 4560SLX  
Tape Library module might cause severe damage to unit circuitry.  
3. Remove drive shoe 2 as shown in Figure 66 on page 73 or the blank cover for  
each module that will use the cartridge elevator.

Figure 67. Cover plate removal  
5. Install all of the modules in the equipment rack.  
6. Slide each of the 4560SLX Tape Libraries a few inches forward, starting below  
the top (master) library module.  
When installing the cartridge elevator assembly, work from top to bottom of  
the library assembly. This eases alignment with less binding of the inner guide  
pins. As each module is physically connected by the retaining screws, slide the  
module back until seated and the inside guide pin and retainer holes are  
aligned. Then tighten the retainer screws.  
7. Carefully insert the cartridge elevator base unit into the top library module  
making sure the top pins are fully engaged.  
8. Secure the base unit to the top library, using the base unit top and top-middle  
thumbscrews.  
9. Secure the base unit to the second library, using the base unit bottom-middle  
and bottom thumbscrews.  
If the pins are difficult to align to the bottom (slave) libraries, push them  
forward slightly and then engage each one by pulling them one at a time  
toward the cartridge elevator and then tighten the appropriate thumbscrews.  
10. Using the extension thumbscrews, secure the cartridge elevator to the  
remaining libraries in the multi-unit library system.  
If you still cannot align the bottom (slave) libraries to the cartridge elevator  
base unit, slightly loosen the rear rail bracket screws for each library,  
reposition it, and then secure it to the cartridge elevator. Afterwards,  
re-tighten all rear rail bracket screws.

the procedure below for each module.  
a. Fully support the drive shoe assembly while starting it into the receiver,  
being careful not to damage the drive load handle.  
b. Push the drive shoe assembly slowly into the receiver until it seats against  
the back of the library.  
c. Tighten the two captive retainer screws to secure the module to the library.  
d. Repeat for all modules. See “Module configuration” on page 82.

same firmware level as the master module. The firmware of the slave modules can  
be updated using the firmware image of the master.  
Verify the firmware level of the slave modules as follows:  
1. After the POST completes, press Menu on the first slave module.  
2. Press Library Info in the View System Data area.  
3. The firmware revision is deployed on the Miscellaneous Library Info screen.

Appendix B. Adding a library module 87  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
If any of the slave modules are at a different firmware level than the master,  
update the multi-module system using the master module touch screen (if  
firmware version 2.33 or higher is installed). Web TLC or the configuration utility  
connected to the master module can also be used to update the modules.  
For additional assistance on using the configuration utility or the Web TLC to  
upgrade the firmware, contact IBM Technical Support.  
Fail-over operation  
The 4560SLX Tape Library in a multi-module configuration enables one of the  
slave modules to take over control of the library as a temporary master if the  
primary master module is not operational. This is referred to as fail-over. The  
fail-over is a manual procedure that needs to be initiated by an operator, either  
locally through the touch screen or remotely using Web TLC. A fail-over operation  
can be initiated at any time. This section describes the terminology and  
methodology used to initiate a fail-over operation, and to restore the library to its  
normal operating condition.  
Cartridge elevator terms  
The following list describes the cartridge elevator terms:  
v Primary master (active): An active primary master is a library that is configured  
as a master, connected to the primary cartridge elevator port, and is operating  
normally.  
v Secondary master (standby): A standby secondary master is a library that is  
configured as a slave, connected to the standby cartridge elevator port, and is  
operating normally.  
v Secondary master (active): An active secondary master is a library that is  
configured as slave, connected to the standby cartridge elevator port, and is in a  
failed-over condition.  
v Primary master (inactive): An inactive primary master is a library that is  
configured as master, connected to the primary cartridge elevator port, and is in  
a failed-over condition.  
v Failed-over: Failed-over is the condition of a multi-module library, where a  
designated slave module will temporarily act as a master module in the event of  
a failure of the primary master module.  
Cabling considerations for fail-over operation  
To enable proper fail-over operation, the SCSI connection to the primary and  
secondary master should be daisy-chained. This enables the secondary master to  
assume control of the SCSI bus when the primary master fails.  
Fail-over initiation  
In order for a fail-over operation to take effect, the library modules must be  
correctly cabled to the cartridge elevator hardware, as described in “Cabling and  
interface connections” on page 85:  
v The master module must be connected as the primary master as shown in  
Figure 85 on page 86.  
v One of the slave modules must be connected as the secondary master as shown  
in Figure 85 on page 86.  
88 4560SLX Tape Library: User’s Guide

Local fail-over to secondary master initiation  
The fail-over operation should be initiated when it is determined that the primary  
master module is in a hard fault condition.  
1. From the secondary master touch screen, select Menu.  
2. Select Maintenance. The Secondary Master Maintenance screen will appear.  
Figure 87. Secondary Master Maintenance screen  
3. Select Fail-Over to Secondary Master.  
The library will transfer control of the cartridge elevator to itself, power down  
the primary master, then reboot.  
Remote fail-over to secondary master initiation  
To configure the secondary master for remote fail-over, complete the following  
procedure:  
1. If the library is connected to a network, use a Web browser to connect to the  
library’s fail-over URL, which uses the same IP address of the library’s Web  
TLC, but uses port 8008. For example, if the Web TLC address is 10.1.15.77, the  
fail-over URL will be http://10.1.15.77:8008.  
2. Log in.  
3. Select Fail-over to Standby Module.  
4. Confirm that you want to fail-over to the standby module.  
The secondary master will transfer control of the cartridge elevator to itself,  
power down the primary master, and then reboot.  
Restoring normal operation  
After the failed module is replaced, a procedure similar to the one described in the  
previous section can be invoked to restore the original operation. In order for the  
restore operation to take effect, the future master module must be connected as the  
inactive primary master.  
Local fail-over to primary master  
To configure the primary master for local fail-over, complete the following  
procedure:  
1. From the secondary master touch screen, select Menu.  
2. Select Maintenance.  
3. Select Fail-over to Primary Master.  
The secondary master will transfer control of the cartridge elevator back to the  
primary master and then reboot.  
Appendix B. Adding a library module 89  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
After rebooting, the modules will revert back to their default configurations  
and the library will be fully operational.  
Remote fail-over to primary master  
To configure the primary master for remote fail-over, complete the following  
procedure:  
1. If the library is connected to a network, use a Web browser to connect to the  
library’s Web TLC URL using the default HTTP port, log in, and select  
Functions.  
2. Confirm that you want to fail over to the primary module.  
The secondary master will then transfer control of the cartridge elevator back to  
the primary master, then reboot. After rebooting, the modules will revert back to  
their default configurations and the library will be fully operational.

IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-06 8/2000  
Part 1 - General Terms  
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2 -  
Country-unique Terms. The terms of Part 2 replace or modify those of Part 1. The  
warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to  
Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or your reseller.  
The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades,  
elements, or accessories, or any combination of them. The term “Machine” does  
not include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine,  
installed subsequently or otherwise. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, the following  
warranties apply only in the country where you acquire the Machine. Nothing in  
this Statement of Limited Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that  
cannot be waived or limited by contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or  
your reseller.  
The IBM Warranty for Machines: IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from  
defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published  
Specifications (“Specifications”). The warranty period for a Machine is a specified,  
fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date on your sales receipt  
is the Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.  
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM  
or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with one that  
is at least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of purchase and  
your money will be refunded.  
Extent of Warranty: The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a  
Machine resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or  
operating environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a  
product for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal or  
alteration of Machine or parts identification labels.  
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE  
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,  
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR  
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR  
PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND  
YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM  
JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT  
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED  
WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT  
APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN  
DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER  
THAT PERIOD.  
Items Not Covered by Warranty: IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free  
operation of a Machine. Any technical or other support provided for a Machine  
under warranty, such as assistance via telephone with “how-to” questions and  
those regarding Machine set-up and installation, will be provided WITHOUT  
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.  
Warranty Service: To obtain warranty service for a Machine, contact IBM or your  
reseller. If you do not register your Machine with IBM, you may be required to  
present proof of purchase.  
Appendix E. Warranty information 101  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide  
warranty service, provides without charge certain types of repair and exchange  
service to keep Machines in, or restore them to, conformance with their  
Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the available types of  
service for a Machine based on its country of installation. At its discretion, IBM or  
your reseller will 1) either repair or exchange the failing Machine and 2) provide  
the service either at your location or a service center. IBM or your reseller will also  
manage and install selected engineering changes that apply to the Machine.  
Some parts of IBM Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units (called  
“CRUs”), e.g., keyboards, memory, or hard disk drives. IBM ships CRUs to you for  
replacement by you. You must return all defective CRUs to IBM within 30 days of  
your receipt of the replacement CRU. You are responsible for downloading  
designated Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code updates from an IBM  
Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following the instructions  
that IBM provides.  
When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM  
or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours.  
You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement  
may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally  
equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service  
status of the replaced item. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the  
removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will  
assume the warranty service status of the removed part.  
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all  
features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.  
You also agree to  
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that  
prevent its exchange;  
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a  
Machine that you do not own; and  
3. where applicable, before service is provided:  
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request  
procedures that IBM or your reseller provides;  
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine;  
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your  
facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations; and  
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.  
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM’s  
possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the  
transportation charges.  
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential,  
proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to  
IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information from  
the Machine prior to its return.  
Limitation of Liability: Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on  
IBM’s part or other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each  
such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages  
from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other  
102 4560SLX Tape Library: User’s Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
contract or tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by  
applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than  
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and  
tangible personal property; and  
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if recurring,  
12 months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the claim. For  
purposes of this item, the term “Machine” includes Machine Code and  
Licensed Internal Code.  
This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum  
for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.  
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE  
FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES  
(OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS  
OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL,  
INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC  
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF  
IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF THEIR  
POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION  
OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO  
THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.  
Governing Law  
Governing Law: Both you and IBM consent to the application of the laws of the  
country in which you acquired the Machine to govern, interpret, and enforce all of
