Preface
Note on erasing data from hard disks when disposing of the product or transferring it
Disposing of this product or transferring it as is may enable third parties to access the data on the hard disk and use it for
unforeseen purposes. To prevent the leakage of confidential information and important data, all of the data on the hard
disk must be erased before disposal or transfer of the product.
However, it can be difficult to completely erase all of the data from the hard disk. Simply initializing (reformatting) the hard
disk or deleting files on the operating system is insufficient to erase the data, even though the data appears at a glance to
have been erased. This type of operation only makes it impossible to access the data from the operating system.
Malicious third parties can restore this data.
If you save your confidential information or other important data on the hard disk, you should completely erase the data,
instead of simply carrying out the aforementioned operation, to prevent the data from being restored. To prevent important
data on the hard disk from being leaked when the product is disposed of or transferred, you will need to take care to erase
all the data recorded on the hard disk on your own responsibility.
Furthermore, if a software license agreement restricts the transfer of the software (operating system and application
software) on the hard disk in the server or other product to a third party, transferring the product without deleting the
software from the hard disk may violate the agreement. Adequate verification from this point of view is also necessary.
Product and service inquiries
For all product use and technical inquiries, contact the distributor where you purchased your product, or a Fujitsu sales
representative or systems engineer (SE). If you do not know the appropriate contact address for inquiries about the
PRIMEQUEST 2000 series, use the Fujitsu contact line.

If a component failure occurs during the warranty period, we will repair it free of charge in accordance with the terms of the
warranty agreement. For details, see the warranty.
Before requesting a repair
If a problem occurs with the product, confirm the problem by referring to 11.2 Troubleshooting in the PRIMEQUEST 2000
Series Administration Manual (C122-E175EN). If the error recurs, contact your sales representative or a field engineer.
Confirm the model name and serial number shown on the label affixed to the right front of the device and report it. Also
check any other required items beforehand according to 11.2 Troubleshooting in the PRIMEQUEST 2000 Series Administration Manual (C122-E175EN).
The system settings saved by the customer will be used during maintenance.

- Do not block the vent holes.
- Do not install the main unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or close to a device that may generate heat.
- Do not install the main unit in a location exposed to dust, corrosive gas, or salt spray.
- Do not install the main unit in a location subject to strong vibration. Install the main unit on a flat surface.
- Use grounded Category 3 wiring or better. Using another type of grounded wiring may cause abnormal operation.
- Do not route cables under the main unit. Do not allow cables to become taut.
- Do not disconnect the power cables while the main unit power is on.
- If it is hard to push the connector latch of a LAN cable or other cable when attempting to disconnect the cable, push it
with a flathead screwdriver.
Forcibly inserting a finger may cause personal injury or damage the unit.
- Do not place anything on top of the main unit. Do not work above or on top of the main unit.
- Prevent rapid rises in the ambient temperature during winter. Such an abrupt temperature change may cause
condensation to form in the main unit. Allow sufficient warm-up time before starting operation.
- Do not install the main unit close to a photocopier, air-conditioning unit, welder, or other device that generates
electromagnetic noise.
- Do not install the main unit close to a device that generates large amounts of electrical noise.
- When installing the main unit, do not connect it to the power supply line for an elevator in the facility, since this would
expose it to sudden voltage drops.
- Implement antistatic measures at the installation site.
- Confirm that the power supply voltage and frequency follows rating values labelled on main unit.
- Do not put any materials in the main unit. The main unit contains high-voltage compone nts. So i f metallic matter o r
other electro-conductive object enters the main unit through an opening, it may cause a short circuit. This may lead to
fire, electric shock, or damage to the main unit.
- For details on maint enanc e o f the main uni t, c ontact the dist ributor whe re yo u purch ased you r produc t, or you r sal es
representative.
