xiii
Requirements for power outlets
¢
Use a grounding 2-pole plug-in power outlet. Outlets of any other
types would cause an electric shock or fire.
¢
In order to prevent an electric shock, connect the outlet's grounding
electrode to a grounding terminal installed by a qualified electrician.
Without connection to the grounding terminal, an electric shock can
occur in the event of a failure in power supply modules.
Plugging and unplugging
When inserting the power plug into the electrical outlet or removing it, be
sure to hold the plug section. Do not pull the cable; it can partially break
the wire, overheat the broken part and lead to a fire.
Power supply module
Since the power supply module has a high-voltage area in it, do not open
the cover. If you do, it can result in an electric shock or equipment
failure.
Installing power supply slot cover
When removing a power supply module, do not insert your hand or tool
inside the power slot. After removing a power supply module, install a
power slot cover. Inside the power slot, some conductors are exposed. If
you touch them with your hand or tool, it may cause electric shock or
equipment failure.
Abnormal heat, smoke, abnormal noise, or abnormal smell
Should you find anything abnormal occurring, turn off the power and
unplug all the power cords of the equipment (maximum of 4) from the
electrical outlets.
Removal of the cover or bracket
Do not remove the cover or bracket. It can result in an electric shock,
burns or equipment failure.

Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series System Service Manual
Do not repair, remodel or disassemble
Do not attempt to repair, remodel or disassemble the equipment on your
own, except for performing expansion work in accordance with the
instructions in this manual. Work performed by unqualified persons can
lead to an electric shock, fire, or burns. Especially it is hazardous if you
touch areas inside the high-voltage power module.
High temperature at a power supply module
When a power supply module is in operation, the cover and handle get
hot. Be careful when replacing a failed module. You can get burned.
High temperature at the 10GBASE-R transceiver
The 10GBASE-R transceiver in the 10Gb LAN switch module gets hot in
operation. To remove the transceiver, therefore, allow at least
approximately 5 minutes after the power supply for the 10Gb LAN switch
module is turned off from the management module. Failure to do so can
cause you to get burned.
Adding and replacing parts
The cover and internal parts are hot immediately after the power is
turned off. You must wait for about 30 minutes before adding or removing
internal parts unless otherwise specified in this manual. If not, the hot
equipment causes you to get burned.
Laser beam
¢
On this product, a Class 1 laser product is installed. Do not look
directly at the laser beam. Do not look at the laser beam using an
optical instrument.
¢
Under the laser module cover, a laser beam is being emitted. Do not
remove the cover of an unused board.

yourself on the metal or plastic edges. You can wear cotton gloves to
protect your hands.
Preface
Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series System Service Manual
xv
Installing the equipment in a rack
To install or remove the system equipment in or from the rack cabinet,
always get help from at least one other person or use tools. If the system
equipment has to be installed on 31U and above of the rack cabinet or it
is already installed there, call for maintenance personnel instead of
attempting to install or remove it. Defective installation may cause the
system equipment to fall, resulting in injury or equipment failure.
Requirements for the product
Install the product on a fixed rack. Do not lean against the product or
stand on it. Do not install the product in a place with weak floors and
walls.
Do not subject the product to excessive vibration. That can drop and fall
the product, leading to failure.
Using a rack cabinet
When using a rack cabinet, do not place anything on the system unit
mounted on the cabinet and do not use the top of the system unit
mounted on the cabinet as a workbench. A heavy object placed on top of
the system unit on the cabinet may fall, resulting in injury.
xvi
Locking the rail into place
Be sure to pull out the equipment until it locks into place. If not, the
equipment may move unexpectedly, which causes you to get injured such
as your finger caught in the gap.
Improper battery type
Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type. Dispose of
Used Batteries According to the Instructions.
Handling of batteries
Since maintenance personnel should change batteries, do not change
them yourself. Follow the instructions described below. Inappropriate
Preface
Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series System Service Manual
handling can result in injury because the battery can overheat, burst, and
catch fire.
¢
Do not put the battery on charge.
¢
Do not short out the battery.
¢
Do not disassemble the battery.
Storing batteries
When storing batteries, apply adhesive tape on the terminals for
insulation. If the batteries are stored without insulation, the terminals can
contact each other to cause a short-circuit and overheat or burst, leading
to injury or fire.
Precautions against damage to equipment
Insertion of foreign objects into the equipment
Do not allow clips, pins or any other metal items or flammable items to
enter the equipment through a vent or by any other means. Continuing to
operate the equipment with foreign objects could cause failure.
Impact from falling

internal deformation and deterioration. Operating the equipment under
such defective conditions can cause failure.
Vent
A vent is used for preventing rise in temperature inside the equipment.
Do not block the vent by placing or leaning an object. If you do, the
temperature rises, which can cause failure. Check and clean ventilation
holes periodically to keep the dust from gathering on them.
Contact with connection terminals
Do not touch connection terminals, such as a connector with your hand or
any metal item. Do not insert any objects such as wire into them. Do not
place the equipment in a place with metal pieces. If you do, a short circuit
can be developed, causing equipment failure.
Preface
Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series System Service Manual
xvii
Moving between two locations with a temperature differential
When you move the equipment from one location to another, a significant
temperature gap between the two locations may cause condensation on
the surface or inside the equipment. Operating the equipment with
condensation inside can cause a failure in equipment. Leave the
equipment at the new location for several hours until the equipment
temperature conforms to that of the new environment before you start
using it. When you move the equipment from an environment with
temperature 5°C to that with 25°C, for example, leave it for about two
hours.
Adding and connecting to peripheral devices
Use only peripheral devices which are explicitly listed as supported in the
manual, and always follow the instructions in the manual. Using devices
other than those mentioned above would cause a failure in peripheral
devices and equipment due to the difference in connection specifications.
Radio interference
When you install the equipment next to another electronic device, the
radio waves may interfere with each other. In particular, a television set
or a radio in the vicinity may make a noise.
xviii
Magnetism generator
Do not place a device that generates strong magnetism, such as a
magnet or a speaker, near the equipment. Doing so can cause a system
unit failure.
Handling hard disks
A hard disk is a precision instrument. Handle it carefully when you use it.
Inappropriate handling could result in hard disk failure.
Faulty disk
Preface
Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series System Service Manual
If you attempt to replace faulty disks using an incorrect procedure or
faulty alternative disk, data on the disk can be corrupted. Before
replacing the disk, back up the data.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors
An aluminum electrolytic capacitor has a limited service life. Do not use it
past its service life. Otherwise, leakage or depletion of the electrolyte may
cause smoke or electric shock. To avoid such hazardous situations,
replace limited-life parts once they are past their designated service life.
Distribution board
Install a distribution board close to an entrance / exit to protect the
devices in your computer system and to serve as an emergency power
breaker.
Signal cables
¢
Route cables not to trip over them. Tripping over cables could cause
injury or failure of devices connected to the equipment, and also could
cause loss of valuable data.
¢
Do not place heavy items on the cables. Avoid routing cables close to
a thermal appliance. If you do, it could cause damage to cable
sheaths, resulting in failure of the connected devices.
Before turning off the power
¢
Follow the prescribed procedure for power operation. Power input or
output not according to the prescribed procedure may cause problems
on the system equipment.
¢
Before turning off the power, confirm that all devices connected to the
equipment stop. Turning off the power during operation of the
equipment may cause equipment failure or data loss.
¢
When you are using an OS which requires the shut down procedure,
be sure to finish the shut down procedure before turning off the
power. Otherwise, data may be lost.
Rack Mount Safety Consideration
Preface
Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series System Service Manual
xix
¢
Elevated Ambient Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Use care not to exceed the rated maximum ambient
temperature of the unit.
¢
Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
¢
Mechanical Loading
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical
loading.
¢
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to
the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might
have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
¢
Reliable Earthing
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips)."

User replacement guidelines
The Hitachi Compute Blade system is designed with many customer
replaceable units (CRUs) to allow for greater flexibility in performing defective
parts replacement. However, you should consult with Hitachi Data Systems
Support about the failed parts before replacement. After consultation, Hitachi
Data Systems Support will ship the spare part directly to you for
replacement.
Each module contains several LEDs that light when certain problems occur,
making it easy for users to quickly find the source of these problems. The
LEDs are described in this chapter. In addition, the web console generates
system messages that identify the failed parts and notifies users the
procedures that should be performed to keep the performance. The web
console can be configured to send E-mail messages to specified email
addresses, notifying users of failed parts or reminding them of scheduled
tasks. You can order and install the parts or perform the procedures.
User maintenance tasks
The maintenance tasks described in this manual follow the Hitachi Data
Systems Customer Support program.
• The Hitachi Data Systems self-service program allows users to perform
allowable installation and configuration tasks and maintenance tasks on
the Hitachi Compute Blade System.

System overview
The Hitachi Compute Blade 500 series system can contain up to eight server
blades and four switch modules. Compared with a 1U server chassis that
contains a rack mount network switch and a FC switch, the 6U height Hitachi
Compute Blade 500 server chassis offers improved features such as less
space, fewer cables, and decreased weight. The system has the ability for
replacing existing PC server systems, consolidating servers, and for operating
servers in a data center. Suitable switch modules can be selected from the
available interfaces according to the customer demands. The management
modules, switch modules, power supply modules, and cooling fan modules
provide a redundant configuration. The system can continue to operate
because of the redundant configuration even if one of the modules
experiences a failure.

Management monitor for maintenance
The Hitachi Compute Blade system prepares the two types of management
monitor.
• Web console
• LCD touch console (option)
Web Console
A Web console is the general application to control or manage the Hitachi
Compute Blade system. Connecting between management modules installed
in the system and the user console PC on the network, you can display the
system status and the failed part, and also set up the configuration.
Basic knowledge for replacement
Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series System Service Manual
3-3
For more information about the web console application, see Hitachi Compute
Blade 500 Web Console User's Guide.
The web console is basically connected to the management port #0 on
management module. The management LAN port #0 is a standard RJ45
connector and accepts both a cross-over cable and straight-through cable.
LCD touch console
An LCD touch console unit is optional. Connecting it to the USB port of the
front panel in a server chassis makes it easy to display the system status and
the failed part, and also to set up the configuration without a console PC and
web console application.
For more information about the LCD application, see Hitachi Compute Blade
500 LCD Touch Console User's Guide.
Hitachi recommends that the LCD touch console is available as the secondary
maintenance application.
The LCD touch console is directly connected to the USB port #0 or 1 on the
front panel module. The USB port #0 is a standard USB connector.
