1-10 Notes on Using Your Modular Server

Advice for Health

The longer you keep using the computer equipment, the more you become
tired, which may cause disorders of your body. When you use a computer,
observe the following to keep yourself from getting tired:

Good Working Posture

You have good posture if the following are satisfied when you use a
computer:

• You sit on a chair with your back straight.

• Your hands are parallel with the floor when you put them on the

keyboard.

• You look at the screen slightly lower than your eye height.

You have "good working posture" as described in the above when no part
of your body is under excess strain, in other words when your muscles are
most relaxed.

You have "bad posture" when you sit with your back hunched up or you
operate a display unit with your face close to the screen. Bad working
posture may cause eye strain or poor eyesight.

Adjustment of Display Unit Angles

Most display units are designed for adjustment of the horizontal and
vertical angles. This adjustment is important to prevent the screen from
reflecting bright lights and to make the display contents easy to see. You
will not be able to keep "good working posture" and you will feel more tired
than you should if you operate a display unit without adjusting horizontal
and vertical angles.

Adjustment of Screen Brightness and Contrast

The display unit has brightness and contrast adjustment functions. The
most suitable brightness and contrast depend on the individual and the
working environment (well-lighted room or insufficient light). Adjust
brightness and contrast so that the screen will be easy to see. An
extremely bright or dark screen will give a bad effect to your eyes.

Adjustment of Keyboard Angle

The keyboard provided with the modular server is designed for adjustment
of an angle. Adjust the keyboard angle at which the keyboard is easy to
operate. The adjustment assists in reducing strain on your shoulders,
arms, and fingers.

Cleaning of Equipment

Clean equipment regularly. It is difficult to see the display contents on a

initial diagnosis is executed for about 5 seconds. In this period, the
POWER/SLEEP switch is disabled. Power on the modular server about
5 seconds immediately after you installed the modular server in the
Module Enclosure (1way) or power is supplied to the modular server.

While the POST progress screen appears, the modular server runs the self-diagnosis program
(POST) to diagnose the modular server itself. See "POST" described later for details. At the
completion of POST, OS is booted.

NOTE: If a fault is found during POST, it is interrupted and the error

message notifying the fault appears. See Chapter 7.

General Description 2-9

POST

POST (Power On Self-Test) is the self-diagnostic program stored in the modular server.

When you power on the modular server, the system automatically runs POST to check the mother
board, memory module, CPU module, keyboard, and mouse. POST also displays messages of the
BIOS SETUP utility, such as the start-up message, while in progress.

With the factory setup of the modular server, the NEC logo appears on the display unit (if

NOTE: You can set the POST check results to appear on the display

unit without pressing Esc. To do so, select "Enabled" for "Boot-time
Diagnostic Screen" under the Advanced menu of the BIOS SETUP
utility. See Chapter 4 for details.

You don't always need to check the POST check results. Check messages that POST displays when:

 you use the modular server for the first time.

 the modular server appears to fail.

 the modular server beeps for many times between power-on and OS start-up.

 an error message appears on the display unit.

2-10 General Description

POST Execution Flow

The following describes the progress of POST in the chronological order.

IMPORTANT: Do not make unnecessary key entries or perform

mouse operations while POST is in progress.

1. After a few seconds from power-on, POST starts checking the memory. The count

message of the memory appears on the screen of the display unit (if connected).

It may take approximately one minute for the screen display to appear after rebooting the
modular server.

2. Some messages appear upon completion of the memory check. These messages appear to

Maintenance

This chapter describes the daily maintenance of the modular server and precautions when relocating
or storing the modular server.

MAKING BACKUP COPIES

NEC recommends you make backup copies of your valuable data stored in hard disk drives of the
modular server on a regular basis. For backup storage devices suitable for the modular server and
backup tools, consult with your service representative.

When you have changed the hardware configuration or BIOS configuration, select "System
Information Management" and then "Save" of the Off-line Maintenance Utility to make a backup
copy of the system information.

6-2 Maintenance

CLEANING

Clean the modular server on a regular basis to keep it in a good shape.

WARNING

Observe the following instructions to use the equipment safely. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in death or serious personal injury. See pages 1­2 to 1-6 for details.

■ Do not disassemble, repair, or alter the modular server.

■ Disconnect the power plug before cleaning the modular server.

Cleaning the Modular Server

For daily cleaning, wipe the external surfaces of the modular server with a dry soft cloth.

IMPORTANT:

 To avoid altering the material and color of the modular server, do

not use volatile solvents such as thinner and benzene to clean the
modular server.

 The power receptacle, the cables, the devices installed on Module

Enclosure, and the inside of the Module Enclosure must be kept dry.
Do not moisten them with water.

Cleaning the Keyboard

Make sure that the modular server and peripheral devices are all off-powered (the POWER/SLEEP
lamp goes off), and then wipe the keyboard surface with a dry cloth.

Maintenance 6-3

Cleaning CD/DVD-ROM

A dusty CD/DVD-ROM or dust-accumulated tray causes the device to fail to read data correctly.

Follow the procedure below to clean the tray and CD/DVD-ROM regularly:

1. Make sure that the equipment is powered (the POWER/SLEEP lamp is lit).

2. Press the Eject button on the front of the optical disk drive.

The tray comes out.

3. Hold the CD/DVD-ROM lightly and take it out from the tray.

NOTE: Do not touch the signal side of the CD/DVD-ROM with your

hand.

4. Wipe the tray with a dry soft cloth.

IMPORTANT: Do not wipe the lens of the optical disk drive. Doing

so may damage the lens and may cause a malfunction of the drive.

5. Gently push on the tray front to close the tray.

6. Wipe the signal side of the CD/DVD-ROM with a dry soft cloth.

IMPORTANT: Wipe CD/DVD-ROMs from the center to the outside.

Use only CD/DVD-ROM cleaner if necessary. Cleaning a CD/DVD­ROM with record spray/cleaner, benzene, or thinner causes damage to
the CD/DVD-ROM contents. At worst, inserting the CD/DVD-ROM
into the optical disk drive may cause failure of the equipment.

6-4 Maintenance

SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

The System Diagnostics runs several tests on the modular server.

Select [Tool menu] - [Test and diagnostics] in the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER to diagnose the
system.

Test Items

The following items are tested in system diagnostics.

 Memory

 CPU cache memory

 Hard disk drive used as a system

IMPORTANT: When executing the system diagnostics, make sure to

disconnect the LAN cable. Executing the system diagnostics with the
LAN cable connected, the network may be influenced.

NOTE: On checking the hard disk drive, no data is written into the

disk.

Startup and Exit of System Diagnostics

There are two ways to diagnose the modular server: to use the local console (SUV cable) of the
modular server itself, and to use the management PC via serial port (remote console).

IMPORTANT: Two methods of LAN and the serial port are mentioned
in "MAINTENANCE TOOLS" in the way of communicating in remote
console.
Use the serial port to execute System Diagnostics with remote console.
The LAN connection is not for System Diagnostics.

Procedures to start the diagnostics program are as follows:

1. Shutdown the system, and power off the modular server.

2. Power off the switch kit to which the target modular server is connected, or disable the

LAN port on the switch kit to disconnect the target modular server from the system.

3. Power on the modular server.

4. Use the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER DVD to start the system.

5. Select [Tool menu (Normal mode)] when local console of the modular server is used for,

or select [Tool menu (Redirection mode)] when remote console is used for.

NOTE: If the system displays the [Language selection] menu, select

[English].
