Handling precautions (for proper operations)

Be sure to observe the following precautions for the proper functioning of the server. Ignoring the precautions may cause server malf un ctio n or failur e.

• Do not use any cell phone or PHS and switch off them near the server. Electric waves from such

devices can cause server to malfunction.

• Install the server in an appropriate place. For details about the installation location, refer to Chapter 2

Preparations (2. Installation and Connection).

• Before connecting/removing cables to/from peripheral devices, make sure that the server is off and

unplug the power cord, if they are non plug-and-play devices.

• Connect the provided power cord to a 100 VAC outlet. If an optional cable is used, you may connect

to a 100 or 200 VAC power system.

• Make sure that the access LED on the server is off before turning off the power or ejecting an optical

disk.

• Wait for at least 30 seconds before turning on the server after turning off the server. If any

Uninterruptible Power Supply unit is connected, set it to wait for at least 30 seconds before turning on the server after power off.

• Turn off the server and unplug the power cord before moving it.

• Regularly clean the server to prevent various types of failure. (Refer to Chapter 1 Maintenance (2.

Daily Maintenance) in "Maintenance Guide" for details about cleaning.)

• Momentary voltage drop may occur due to lightning strike. To prevent this, use of UPS is

recommended.

• We do not guarantee that any copy-protected CD that does not conform to standards will play on the

CD player.

• In the following cases, check and adjust the system clock before operation.

− After transportation

− After s torage

− After the server is used following a period of disuse, in w hich storage conditions did not conform to those that guarantee server operations (temperature: 10°C to 40°C; humidity: 20% to 80%).

• Check the system clock approximately once per month. Use of a time server (NTP server) is

recommended if high accuracy timing is required by the system. If you notice that the sy stem cl ock runs signific ant ly faster or slower over time even after adjustmen t , contact the store where you purchased the product or your maintenance service company for repair.

• In order to get the server and internal devices to work properly, we recommend you store the se rver

at room temperature. Observe the storage conditions (Temperature:

−10°C to 55°C, Humidity: 20% to 80%) to store the

server. (No condensation of moisture)

Page 23

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)

Express5800/GT110e-S User’s Guide

• If this server, internal optional devices, and media set for the backup devices (tape cartridges) are

moved from a cold place to a warm place in a short time, condensation will occur and cause malfunctions and failures when these are used in such state. To protect important stored data and property, make sure to wait for a sufficient period to use the server and components in the operating environment. Reference: Time effective at avoiding condensation in winter (10

°C or more differences between the

room temperature and atmospheric temperature)

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)

Express5800/GT110e-S User’s Guide

Using a computer extensively may affect different parts of your body. Here are tips you should follow while working on a computer to minimize strain on your body.

Keep proper posture

The basic body position for using a computer is sitting straight with your hands on the keyboard parallel with the floor, and your eyes directed slightly downward toward the monitor. With the proper posture described above, no unnecessary strain is applied on any part of your body

, in other words when your muscles are most

relaxed. Working on the computer with bad posture such as hunching over or

being too close to the monitor could cause fatigue or deteriorated eyesight.

Adjust the angle of your display

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. Working without adjusting the display to a comfortable angle makes it difficult for you to maintain a proper pos ture and you will get tired easily. Adjust the viewing angle before use.

Adjust the brightness and contrast of the display

Display screens have functions to control brightness and contrast. The most suitable brightness/contrast depends on age, individuals, and environm ent, so adjust it to suit your preferences. A too bright or too dark display is bad for your eyes.

Adjust the angle of keyboard

Some keyboards are ergonomically designed, which allow the angle to be adjusted. Adjusting the angle of the

keyboard is effective to

reduce tension on your shoulders, arms, and fingers.

Clean your equipment

Keeping your equipment clean is important not only for the appearanc e but also for functional and safety reasons . A dusty monitor makes it difficult to see the display contents, so clean it regularly.

Take rest breaks

When you feel tired, take a break

. Light exercise is also

recommended.

RAID 6 3 RAID 10 4 4 RAID 50 6

• Use SAS/ SATA Hard Disk Drives or SSDs that have the same capacity and rotational speed.

• As the size of Logical Drive cannot be specified in RAID 10 with the on-board RAID Controller, the

Logical Drive size will be at least 4 TB if a Hard Disk Drive of 2 TB or more is used. However, the Logical Drive where the OS is to be installed may be up to 2 TB due to OS restrictions, and therefore RAID 10 using a Hard Disk Drive of 2 TB or more cannot be supported if an on-board RAID Controller is used.

When installing an OS in your RAID S ystem, you can easily complete the setup process, including RAID configuration and OS installation, by using EXPRESSBUILDER. If you are installing the OS manually, use the RAID System confi gura tion util ity. The utility can be run during POST which starts immediately after the server is turned on. For details on the procedure of configuring a Logical Drive, refer to Chapter 2 (4. RAID System Configuration) in "Maintenance Guide" or the manual supplied with the optional RAID Controller.

Important

• Do not change the RAID System mode to hibernate.

• A mix of SAS and SATA drives cannot be used within the RAID System.

• Before configuring RAID System using EXPRESSBUILDER, be sure to

clear the configuration inform ation of the RAID Controller by referring to

the manual of the relevant controller.
