Safety notes

This section provides notes on using the server s afely . Read this sectio n carefu lly to en sure proper and safe u se of the server. For symbols, refer to Safety precautions.

General

WARNING

Do not use the server for services where human life ma y be at stake or high 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 controll ing 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 t he store where you purchased the product or

your maintenance service company.

Using the server in such conditions may cause a fire.

Power supply and power cord use

WARNING

Do not hold the power plug with a wet hand.

Do not disconnect/connect the plug while your hands are wet. Failure to f ol l ow this warning may cause an electric shock.

Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.

Never connect the ground wire to a gas pipe. Failure to follow this warning may cause a gas explosion.

CAUTION

Plug in to a proper power source.

Use a grounded outlet with the specified voltage. Use of an outlet with a voltage other than that specified causes fire and electrical leakage. Do not install the server in any environment that requires an extension cord.

Connecting to a cord that does not conform to the power supply specs of the server causes

overheating, resulting in fire. If you want to use an AC cord set with a ground wire of class 0I, be sure to connect the ground wire before

inserting the power plug into the outlet. Before disconnecting t he ground wire, be sure to disconnect the power plug from the output.

Do not connect many cords into a single outlet by using extension cords.

The electric current exceeding the rated flow overheats the outlet, which may cause a fire.

Insert the power plug into the outlet as far as it goes.

Heat generation resulting from a halfway inserte

d power plug (imperfect contact) may cause a fire. Heat

will also be generated if condensation is formed on dusty blades of the halfway inserted plug, increas ing the possibility of fire.

Do not use any unauthorized interface cable.

Use only the i

nterface cables provided with the server. Electric current that exceeds the amount allowed

could cause fire.

Also, observe the following precautions to prevent electrical shock or fire caused by a

damaged power cord.

• Do not stretch the cord harness

• Do not bend the power cord.

• Do not twist the power cord

• Do not step on the power cord.

• Uncoil the power cord before use

• Do not secure the power cord with staples or

equivalents

• Do not pinch the power cord

• Keep chemicals away from the power cord

• Do not place any object on the power cord

• Do not alter, modify, or repair the power cord

• Do not use a damaged power cord (replace the

damaged power cord with a power cord of the same standard. For information on replacing the power cord, contact the store where you purchased the product or a maintenance service

company)

Handling precautions (for proper operations)

Be sure to observe the following precautions for the proper functioning of the server. Ignoring the precau tions may cause server malfunction or failure.

 Do not use any cell phone or PHS and switch off them near the server. Electric w aves from such

devices can cause server to malfunction.

 Install the server in an appropriate place. For details about th e installation location, refer to Chapter

2 Preparations (2. Ideal Location and Connection).

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

unplug the power cord.

 Connect the provided power cord to a 10 0 VAC outlet. If an optional cable is used, you may connect

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)

Express5800/T120d 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 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.

LED on a hard disk drive

Each Hot-Swap HDD is equipped with DISK LED.

DISK LED indicates the following status by lighting.

• The LED flashes green

This indicates a HDD is being accessed.

• The LED flashes amber

When logical drives are configured in the RAID System, this indicates the installed HDD is broken. In RAID s ystem having data redundancy (RAID1, RAID5, RAID6, RAID10, RAID50, or RAID60), the

server can continue operation even if one (or two HDDs in RAID6 or RAID60) of the HDDs fails. However, replace the HDD as soon as possible, and perform reconstruction (rebuild) processing

(The failing HDD can be replaced by using hot swapping.)

• The LED flashes green and amber alternately

This indicates that the HDD is being rebuilt (not a defect). In a RAID System, the HDD is automatically rebuilt upon replacing a broken HDD (auto rebuild feature). The LED flashes green and amber alternately while the HDD is being rebuilt.

The LED goes off when rebuilding completes. If rebuilding fails, the LED flashe s amber .

Important Observe the following precautions whenever you use the auto rebuild feature.

• Do not turn off or reboot the server while a HDD is being rebuilt.

• Wait at least 90 seconds before installing a HDD after removing one.

• Do not replace a HDD whil e a nother HDD is being rebuilt.

Important

You must avoid static electricity to work with the procedure below. For details, refer to Chapter 2 (1.2 Anti-static Measures).

1.12.1 Notes

Read the following notes when installing or removing a PCI board.  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.

 PCI slot numbers are assigned as follows:

COM, #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 from top. PCI slot #1 is disabled in 1-CPU configuration.

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

Slot2  Slot3  Slot5  Slot4  Slot1

 The PCI devices of the same type (including onboard PCI device) may be recognized in d ifferent order

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

PCI device Bus number Device number Function number

Onboard NIC1 08h 0 0 Onboard NIC2 08h 0 1 Slot 1 90h 0 X Slot 2 10h 0 X Slot 3 20h 0 X Slot 4 40h 0 X Slot 5 50h 0 X

 If an additional LAN card is installed, it is hard to push the catch of the connector with your finger that is

connected to the LAN card. Disconnect the connector pushing the catch with a standard screwdriver. At this time, be very careful for the screwdriver not to damage the LAN card.

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

In 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. Note that the value for xx changes depending on the PCI slot where a RAID board is installed.

 For a RAID Controller, LAN card (network boot), or Fibre Channel controller, if no hard disk drive on

which an OS is installed is connected, set the option ROM for that slot to Disabled. Refer to Chapter 3 (2. Detail of System BIOS) for how to specify it.
