Safety notes

This section provides notes on using the server safely. Read this section carefully to ensure proper and safe use of the server. For symbols, see Safety precautions.

General

WARNING

Do not use the server for services where human life may be at stake or hi gh reliability is required.

This server is not intended for use in medical, nuclear, aerospace, mass transit or other applications where human life may be at stake or high reliability is required, nor is it intended for use in controlling such applications. We disclaim liability for any personal injury and property damages caused by such use of this server.

Do not use the server if any smoke, odor, or noise is present.

If smoke, odor, or noise is present, immediately turn off the server and disconnect the power plug from the outlet, then contact the store where you purchased the product or your sales representative. Using the server in such conditions may cause a fire.

Do not insert needles or metal objects.

Do not insert needles or metal objects into ventilation holes in the server or openings in the optical disk drive. Doing so may cause an electric shock.

Use a rack that conforms to the designated standard

This server can be mounted onto a 19-inch rack that conforms to EIA standards. Do not mount the server onto any rack that does not conform to EIA standards. Doing so may cause a server malfunction, personal injury, or damage to peripheral devices. For more information about racks that can be used with the server, consult with your sales representative.

Use the server only under the specified environment

Do not install the server rack in any environment that is not suitable for installation. Installation in an unsuitable environment is harmful for the server and other systems installed in the rack

and may cause fire or personal injury due to the rack falling. For a detailed explanation on installation environments or seismic reinforcement, see the instruction manual supplied with the rack or consult with your sales representative.

CAUTION

Keep water or foreign matter away from the server.

Do not let any liquid such as water or foreign materials including pins or paper clips enter the server. Failure to follow this warning may cause an electric shock, a fire, or failure of the server. When such things accidentally enter the server, immediately turn off the power and disconnect the power plug from the outlet. Do not disassemble the server, and contact the store where you purchased the product or your sales representative.

Rack installation

CAUTION

Do not attempt to carry or install the server alone

More than two people are required to carry or install the rack. Otherwise, the rack may fall, resulting in personal injury or damage to peripheral devices. In particular, tall racks such as a 42U rack become unstable unless steadied with a stabilizer. Make sure that two or more people hold the rack to carry or install the rack.

Do not install with the load weight distributed unevenly

To avoid unevenly distributing the load of the rack and server, install a stabilizer or connect multiple racks to distribute the weight. Otherwise, the rack may fall, resulting in personal injury.

Do not install components alone, and check the door hinge pins of the rack

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)

Express5800/R110f-1E 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 posture 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 environment, 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 appearance 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.

This section describes the jumper settings and cable connections when using hard disk drives installed in HDD cages in a non-RAID System or RAID System.

Important

If you use hard disk drives in the RAID system or change the RAID level,

initialize the hard disk drives. If the hard disk drive contains valuable data, be

sure to backup the hard disk drive before installing the RAID controller and

configuring the RAID system.

Note

In the RAID system, use hard disk drives that have the same specifications

(capacity, rotational speed, and standard) for each disk array.

Tips

Logical drives can be created even with only one physical device.

Set the jumper on the motherboard according to your system, as shown below.

Important

Avoid static electricity to work with the procedure below. For details, see

Chapter 2 (1.2 Anti-static Measures).

• Use SAS/SATA hard disk drives or SSDs that have the same capacity and rotational speed.

• When installing an OS in your RAID system, you can easily complete the setup process, including RAID

configuration and OS installation, by using EXPRESSBUILDER. If you want to install the OS manually, use the RAID system configuration utility (WebBIOS or SuperBuild utility). The utility can be run during POST which starts immediately after the server is turned on. For details, see Chapter 2 (4. RAID System Configuration) in "Maintenance Guide" or the manual supplied with the optional RAID controller (N8103-171/149/150/151/152/160).

Important

• Do not change the RAID system mode to hibernate.

• Build a disk array in the RAID system using hard disk drives that have the

same specifications (capacity, rotational speed, and interface).

Notes

Read the following notes when installing or removing a PCI card.

• Do not touch the terminals of the riser cards and the leads of electronic components with your bare hand.

Fingerprints and dust left on them cause the server to malfunction due to a connection failure or damage to the leads.

• The server provides no connector to connect a LED connector which is supplied in RAID Controller used

to indicate disk access.

• The search order for PCI bus slot on boot is as follows.

Slot 1A → Slot 1B

• The PCI devices of the same type (including onboard PCI device) may be recognized in different order

from that described above, depending on OS or RAID System BIOS utility. Check the slot location of PCI device by PCI bus number, device number and function number shown in the table below.

PCI device PCI bus number Device number Function number

Onboard NIC1

39h 0 0

Onboard NIC2

39h 0 1

Slot 1A

1h 0

Slot 1B

• Set Disabled for the optional ROM of a LAN device not to be booted by using the BIOS Setup utility.

• If an additional bootable PCI card (such as a RAID Controller, SAS controller, or LAN card) is installed,

the boot priority may change. After the installation, set the boot priority in the Boot menu of the BIOS Setup utility.

• If a bootable device such as a PCI card or USB device is added, the boot order may change.

In the BIOS Setup utility, select Hard Drive BBS Priorities from the Boot menu, and then specify a higher priority for the boot device. Boot → Hard Drive BBS Priorities → Check the display If the boot device is an HDD under an optional RAID Controller, the display is (Bus xx Dev 00) PCI RAID Adapter.
