(See page 5-19.)

S-12

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

 Although this equipment featuring RAID1 is more reliable than general

systems, it is still prone to the loss of data in the HDDs. Not only a machine failure but also an unexpected power failure or an operation error may cause data to be lost for good. To prevent such loss of data, implement scheduled data backup in daily operation. Also, protect the power source from undesirable interruptions by such means as UPS.

 This equipment is evaluated based on the specific HDD models authorized

by us. Replace only with specific HDD models authorized by us. Otherwise, the existing data in the HDD may be lost. Also, always observe the recommended replacement interval for HDDs (See “APPENDIX HANDLING REPLACEABLE COMPONENTS”).

 Since each equipment has its own RAID1 configuration information (e.g.,

serial number), you cannot swap HDDs even between two units of this equipment. If you replace an HDD, the replaced HDD is recognized as unmatched with RAID1 configuration information and, as a result, RAID1 reconfiguration starts automatically by the RAID1 reconfiguration function. As a result, all the data in the replaced HDD is deleted. If you are using more than one HDD, be careful in handing and storing them so that you do not mistake one from another.

 This equipment manages a serial number unique to each HDD as RAID1

configuration information. Therefore, if you copy an HDD using any function other than the RAID1 reconfiguration function, the HDD is recognized as an invalid medium, so the equipment does not start even if you install the HDD in a drive bay.

 Maintenance of a RAID1 system requires a high level of expertise. Should

any mistakes be made during the work, the data stored on the HDDs may be lost.

 When a RAID1 system is newly built, the RAID1 configuration information

is recorded on the HDDs. An HDD with configuration information recorded cannot be used in any other equipment. If you are using more than one HDD, be careful in handing and storing them so that you do not mistake one from another. If HDDs are mixed up, a RAID1 configuration information mismatch occurs. The equipment may not operate properly, and the data on the HDDs may be lost.

 When you build a RAID1 system from scratch, prepare two new HDDs

selected from the models specified and tested by HITACHI. Otherwise, the data stored on the HDDs may be lost.

(See page 8-1.)

(See page 8-2.)

S-13

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

 Never remove the screws on an HDD while the power to the unit is on. Never

hot-swap HDDs. If you do either of these, failure of the equipment or the drive may result.

 As a replacement HDD, do not use an HDD previously used. If you do, this

equipment may not operate properly or the data on the HDDs may be lost because of configuration information mismatches or other reasons.

 Mount an HDD securely. Loose contacts and missing screws may result in a

failure.

 Do not subject an HDD you are mounting and the already mounted HDDs to

shock while replacing an HDD. Otherwise, failure of the equipment may result.

 Until the rebuild is complete, avoid shutting off the power for this equipment

or attaching and detaching HDDs. Otherwise, the data on the HDDs may be lost or a failure may result.

 Wear cotton gloves when replacing an HDD in order to prevent failure

caused by static electricity. If you do not, the data stored on the HDD may get corrupted.

 Make sure you check the correct procedure before you start the work. If you

do not follow the correct procedure, the data stored on the HDD may be lost.

(See page 8-6.) (See page 8-10.) (See page 8-11.) (See page 8-12.)

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

 As a replacement HDD, do not use an HDD previously used. If you do, this

equipment may not operate properly or the data on the HDDs may be lost because of configuration information mismatches, or other reasons.

 Do not replace the two HDDs at the same time. If you do, the data gets

corrupted.

 Do not use a replaceable component for longer than the recommended

replacement cycle. If you do, a deteriorating or worn-out component may cause the equipment to fail.

• The following are precautions for the left, right, top, and bottom sides of the equipment:

• Do not attach heating devices.

• For maintenance work, make sure that the Equipment can be moved; if fixed, ensure that

the Equipment can be removed.

• It is reported that zinc whiskers can cause a problem with the device. Do not use electrogalvanized material near or at the place where the equipment is installed.

(A quote from the Technical Report of JEITA(* ITR-1001 “Guideline of Facilities and Equipment for Information Systems”) Location of whiskers: Whiskers are created by electrogalvanized equipment such as floor

panels, stringers, posts, aseismatic flat steel, and the like.

Phenomenon: Hair-like zinc crystals (conductive whiskers) float into the air from the floor

for some reason, go inside the device, and short-circuit a PCB or its pins. The root cause is difficult and time-consuming to find because the symptom differs depending on the location of the short circuit, and often, it is mistaken for a temporary issue.

(*) JEITA: Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association

• During normal operation, do not touch the keyboard or mouse until the logon screen is displayed when you turn on the equipment.

• We recommend that you remove the dust built up in the neighborhood of the device (in particular, below the device), in the vents on the device , and on the front of the device itself.

C-4

(7) ABNORMAL SOUNDS

• When the power is turned on, you may hear a low-frequency humming noise. This is caused by transient low-frequency vibrations of the chokes for suppressing high-frequency noise or other components and does not affect the characteristics and life span of the equipment.

(8) WARRANTY

• The Manufacturer cannot guarantee for damage to data or application software caused by hardware damage to the equipment.

• Use an operating system specified by the Manufacturer. The Manufacturer cannot guarantee proper operation of the equipment if you use an operating system not specified by the Manufacturer.

• This equipment is evaluated under the assumption that the hardware specified by the Manufacturer is used. Therefore, when you install or replace hardware, use the hardware specified by the Manufacturer. The manufacturer cannot guarantee proper operation of the equipment if you use other hardware.

2. NETWORK

• Do not send a Magic Packet™ frame at the timing when the power is about to be turned off after OS shutdown. If you do, the equipment may restart without being turned off, or WOL may not be possible at all. (See “3.6.2 Turning on the power using the LAN”.)

• Depending on the status of the network, Magic Packet™ frames can be lost. In order to avoid this, set up the system so that Magic Packet™ frames can be propagated without loss. (See “3.6.2 Turning on the power using the LAN”.)

• Even though a network drive may be configured to be reconnected at logon, sometimes the reconnection may fail. If this happens, log on again or use the net_use command to establish the connection. For information about the net use command, see the Windows® help.

• If the settings of the hub and the network adapter do not match, the performance of the network adapter may be compromised or the network adapter may not work properly. (See “3.7 Setting Up the LAN Interface”.)

• The electric potential difference between units can generate heat. Therefore, do not use twisted-pair Ethernet cables (such as category 5 or STP cables) for network connections other than the ones specified in “4.4.1 Connector specifications (1) Motherboard (Standard)”.

C-5

3. DISPLAY SCREEN

• Before you set up the screen, terminate all running application softwares.

• When you change connections to switch between single- and multi- display configurations, turn off the power to the equipment, change the connection of display cables, turn the power back on, and then set up the screen configuration.

• When you change the connection configuration for the monitors, reconfigure the screen settings accordingly.

• Depending on application softwares, the screen may flicker and video playback may not be smooth.

• If the Turn off the display setting is used, it is possible that stripe noise may appears at the top of the screen when the screen is turned on again. You can remove the noise by causing the screen to be redrawn, for example, by moving a window. Note that the operation of an application software will not be affected by the noise. If you want the screen to be blacked out when there is no user input for a certain amount of time, specify Never for the Turn off the display setting and Blank for the Screen saver setting.

• This equipment can output up to two screens as a multi-display.

C-6

4. HARD DISKS DRIVES (HDDs)

NOTICE

Depending on the type of failure, important files may be lost when you use this equipment. Files can be lost by power failure and human mistakes during operation in addition to the failure of the equipment. If such a situation occurs, the files cannot be recovered. In order to prevent data loss, make it a routine to save your files and establish a systematic schedule for backing up files.

(1) HANDLING THE HDDs

• The access performance of the HDDs differs depending on each equipment. Also note that the performance of an HDD is lower at high or low temperatures. When you use HDDs, confirm that the access performance of the HDDs at normal temperatures and their degraded performance at high or low temperatures do not cause any problems to the user application.

• Do not subject HDDs to vibration or shock.

• Take preventive action against static electricity due to human contact, and due to other activities in the work place.

• Hold the bracket or sides of an HDD. Do not touch the printed circuit board.

• When you store an HDD for a long time, put the HDD into an anti-static bag and then store it in a dedicated HDD box.

• The capacity and performance of an HDD may be changed when you replace an HDD as a component.

(2) BACKING UP FILES

• Make sure the contents of all HDDs are backed up periodically.

• When you delete a partition, all files in the partition will be deleted. Before you delete a partition, back up important files you need.

C-7

(3) MEDIA ERROR

This item applies to D model only. If you are not using the D model, skip reading this item.

The media error is a status where there is a problem in data healthiness while the RAID status (see “CHAPTER 8 RAID1”) is normal. If a read error occurs on the copy source drive during a rebuild process, the rebuild process will finish, but the sector data where a read error occurred is already lost, indicating a data healthiness problem. For details about the media error, refer to the RAS FEATURES MANUAL.

When a media error occurs, we recommend that you back up the data first, and then replace the copy source HDD with a new HDD. Because you lose only a part of data due to a media error, it is also possible to continue to use the equipment as is. But even if the equipment works normally, a failure may occur later on. If you decide to continue to use the equipment as is, take extra cautions. Note that this equipment allows you to select, depending on the system operation, whether a media error is handled as a failure. By default, a media error is not recognized as a failure. For information about changing how to notify media error, refer to the RAS FEATURES MANUAL. When a media error is handled as a failure, a media error is notified as the “fail” status of the RAID in the following methods:

• Event notification

• Outputs on the Digital LEDs for Status indication

• Remote notification

• MCALL contact of RAS external control I/O interface

• Message box

Example of a Message Box When a Media Error Occurs

C-8

5. USB DEVICE

• When you start using a USB device, test the device before using it. Never use a USB device for mission critical use.

• Do not connect a USB device during the OS startup because the OS may not start normally.

• If you switch screens during OS startup when you use a USB KVM switch, the OS may not start normally depending on the type of the USB KVM switch. When you use a USB KVM switch, make sure you test its operation thoroughly.

• For USB2.0, the length of the cable used must be less than or equal to the length specified in the specifications. Otherwise, the transfer speed may be compromised. In addition, use a cable that supports USB2.0. Otherwise, a communication error may result. For information about the cable specifications, ask the manufacturer of the cable. (For information about the cable length, see “4.4.3 External interface cable length specifications”.)

• When using a USB port, check the orientation of the USB connector, and then insert the connector slowly in order not to damage the USB port.

• When a USB device is inserted, removed, or accessed, the system load may be increased. If you need to use a USB device during online operation (system operation), you must confirm that using the device does not affect the currently running application softwares before using the device.

• After you clean a USB keyboard, check the connection between the equipment and the connector of the keyboard. A loose connection may cause the keyboard to be recognized incorrectly or prevent the system from starting normally.

• It is not guaranteed that all USB devices can be operated.

• Some USB devices do not conform to the USB specifications. If you turn off the main power while a non-compliant USB device is connected, the equipment may not start properly and the clock setting may be corrupted. When you select a USB device, make sure you test its operation thoroughly.

6. EXTENSION BOARDS

• When you use BX1200’s extension slots, you cannot use a PCI board that requires -12V power supply because the extension slot does not provide the -12V bus power. When you use a PCI board, check what power supply voltages are required by the board.

• If an extension board (PCI Express/PCI board) is supplied by a user, the user must take responsibility for confirming that each component on the board meets the operating temperature specification when those parts heat up.

• After you install an extension board, make sure you save the dummy bracket, and store it in a safe place.

• The equipment may not operate normally when some type of extension board with a PCI-PCI Express bridge is installed in the equipment. When you use an extension board with a PCIPCI Express bridge, make sure you test the operation of the equipment thoroughly.

C-9

7. LITHIUM BATTERIES

• This equipment uses a lithium battery. When you dispose of the battery, observe local laws and regulations whatever applicable.

8. THE OPTICAL MOUSE

• Due to the nature of the optical sensor, an optical mouse may not work on transparent materials or light-reflecting materials (glass, mirrors, and the like). Avoid using an optical mouse on those materials or purchase an optical mouse pad available on the market.

• If the optical sensor is smeared with condensation or oil mist, the optical mouse may not work properly. If you use an optical mouse in an environment subject to those kinds of smears, take appropriate measures to protect the equipment.

9. BIOS SETTINGS

• The purpose of the clock displayed on the BIOS setup menu screen is not to show the correct time and date but to configure the time and date. The date displayed on the screen does not change when the actual date changes. If the actual date changes during setup, you must correct the date setting. (See “4.2 BIOS Setup”.)

• When the setup menu is used, the clock display may sometimes show a delay. After you finish the setup menu, make sure you confirm the clock is correct. (See “4.2 BIOS Setup”.)

• When you set up a password on the BIOS setup menu, you can no longer use HDDs if you set up a wrong password for the HDDs during repair or maintenance or if you forget the password.

C-10

10. MAINTENANCE SERVICES

• Microsoft® Windows®, device drivers, and commercially available application softwares may not be able to be modified directly as a counter measure for a particular failure. Instead, the Manufacturer may offer a work-around as a counter measure.

• If you add new commercially available hardware to the equipment without notice to the Manufacturer, the equipment as a whole will lose eligibility for warranty.

• Some components used in the equipment (such as LSIs from Intel corporation) can not be disassembled for failure analysis because the Manufacturer does not have the right to do so.

• The price of this equipment does not cover maintenance and support. When you order the equipment, you must clarify the desired maintenance support level in the maintenance contract and make the required payment for the maintenance fee defined by the maintenance support level.

• The failure analysis support service for this equipment is supported only "memory dump analysis" with fee.

11. Windows® SETTINGS

(1) APPLYING A HOTFIX AND OTHER UPDATES

• If you need to apply a hotfix, Windows Update, or the latest service pack, do it on your own responsibility. You must thoroughly check the system operation and evaluate how the system is affected by applying the hotfix, Windows Update, or service pack.

(2) CONFIGURING THE POWER OPTIONS

• Even if you configured the power to the display not to be turned off in the Power Options (Never is specified for “Turn off the display”), the power plan can be temporarily switched to High performance when the Windows Experience Index is automatically executed, and the power to the display can be turned off. In order to prevent the power to the display from being turned off, go through the following steps 1 to 6 to disable automatic execution of the Windows Experience Index.

3. OPERATION

3.6 Controlling the Power Using the LAN

Only LAN B port can turn on the power by remote control using LAN. The power for this equipment can be turned on from a remote device by way of the LAN. This section explains WOL (Wake on LAN™), which is used for turning on the power for the equipment through the LAN. WOL can be initiated by sending a Magic Packet™ frame to the LAN interface of the equipment which has been shut down normally. In the initial factory settings, this function is disabled. If you want to use this function, follow steps 1 through 3 described in “3.6.1 Enabling the WOL (Wake on LAN™) function” to enable the WOL function and then follow the steps below.

< NOTE >

•

WOL function can be used by only LAN B port. WOL function in LAN A

port is a non-support.

• For information about the precautions for the network, see “PRECAUTIONS

2. NETWORK”.

3.6.1 Enabling the WOL (Wake on LAN™) function

By following the procedure below, you can set up whether to start WOL when a Magic Packet™ frame is received. In the initial factory settings, the WOL function is disabled.

1. Execute steps 1 though 7 in “ Setting up the network transfer speed” in “3.7 Setting Up the LAN Interface”.

2. Click the Power Management tab. If you want to enable WOL, select the Wake on Magic Packet from power off state check box under “Wake on LAN:”.

3. Click OK and restart the system.

3-5

3. OPERATION

3.6.2 Turning on the power using the LAN

1. Insert the plug of the power cord into an outlet.

2. Send a Magic Packet™ frame to the built-in LAN adapter in the equipment. When the built-in LAN adapter receives a Magic Packet™ frame, the power for the equipment is turned on.

To turn on the power to the equipment through LAN (to use the WOL function), the equipment must have been powered off in the shutdown process. The built-in LAN adapter in the equipment is compliant with WfM 2.0 (*1) to support the Magic Packet™ technology. Because of this, the power for the equipment can be turned on when a special data packet called a “Magic Packet™ frame” (*2) is received at the built-in LAN adapter. A program for transmitting a Magic Packet™ frame does not come with the equipment. Use a commercially available program for to transmit the Magic Packet™ frame. (*1) Wired for Management (WfM) is a guideline regarding the hardware specifications

proposed by Intel Corporation for managing PCs on a network.

(*2) The Magic Packet™ technology has been proposed by AMD, Ltd. and can be starting a

PC on a network from a remote device.

< NOTE >

• If you turn off the power by pressing the power switch for at least four seconds, you cannot use WOL the next time. When you turn off the power by pressing the power switch for at least four seconds, turn on the equipment by pressing the power switch and go through the shutdown process to turn off the power.

In a Magic Packet™ frame, the SOURCE ADDRESS, DESTINATION ADDRESS (the MAC address of the receiver or the MULTICAST ADDRESS including the BROADCAST ADDRESS), CRC, and the like must meet the basic requirements of the LAN in use. The data in a Magic Packet™ frame consists of a sequence of 16 repetitions of the MAC address of the node. This sequence can be anywhere in the packet but it must follow a synchronization stream. The synchronization stream is defined as 6 bytes of 0xFF. As long as the MAC address that repeats itself 16 times targets the address of the equipment to be started, the device can receive a BROADCAST frame. A Magic Packet™ frame is shown in the following figure.

 Automatic recognition of the network transfer speed or transfer mode

The LAN port has an auto-negotiation function to automatically recognize the network transfer speed or transfer mode. For normal use, enable the auto-negotiation function. (Especially when you use the WOL function. If the speed is fixed to 1000Mbps (autonegotiation), the WOL function cannot be used.) If there is a compatibility issue with the connected hub, the auto-negotiation function may not work properly and that may affect the communication with other terminals. If the auto-negotiation function does not work properly, configure the LAN interface as follows.

3. OPERATION

• Adaptive Inter-Frame Spacing

This compensates for excessive Ethernet packet collisions by dynamically controlling back-to-back timing.

• Flow Control

This enables adapters to generate or respond to flow control frames, which help regulate network traffic. The default setting of the flow control is different depending on the OS and the type of LAN adapter in use. You must configure the flow control setting according to the network you are using.

< NOTE >

• If the LAN driver stops due to a system failure such as an OS deadlock, broadcast frames from other devices may not be able to be processed and the receive queue may get full. If Rx Enabled or Rx & Tx Enabled is specified for Flow Control, flow control frames are continuously sent from this equipment under such a condition. If this happens, that may affect the whole network connected to the equipment. Specify Disabled for Flow Control at this equipment or at the connected hub as required.

• If Disabled is specified for Flow Control and if the device receives frames quicker than it can process, the device gets overloaded, and the frames receive will be discarded until the device recovers from the overload condition. You have to design the network appropriately to avoid such an overload condition.

• In LAN A (82579LM), flow control frames may be sent continuously in the event of a blue screen even if you set Flow Control to OFF. To prevent this operation, configure the equipment so it is restarted automatically after a memory dump of a blue screen, or set Flow Control to OFF if the connected hub allows this setting change.
