Handling precautions

Be sure to observe the following precautions to ensure that the server functions properly. Ignoring these precautions may cause server malfunction or failure.

Installation site

 Install the server in an appropriate place. See Chapter 2 Preparations (2. Installation and Connectio n) .  Before connecting or removing the cable to or from a peripheral device that does not support the Plug and

Play function, make sure that the power to the server is off and remove the power cord from the outlet.

 Switch off all cell phones in the proximity of the server. Electric waves from these devices can cause the

server to malfunction.

 Regularly clean the server to prevent failure. See Chapter 1 Maintenance (2. Daily Maintenance) in

“Maintenance Guide” for information about cleaning.

 When storing the server for a long time, be sure to satisfy the storage environment conditions (temperature:

–10 to 55°C, humidity: 20 to 80%, non-condensing).

 Turn off the server and unplug the power cord before moving it.  In the following cases, check and adjust the system clock before operation.

― After transportation ― After storage ― After the server is used following a period of disuse, in which the storage conditions did not conform to

the conditions that guarantee server operations (temperature 10 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 highly accurate timing is required by the system.

 The voltage may drop momentarily, for example, due to a lightning strike. To take measures against this, it is

recommended to use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Power supply

 Be sure to use this server within the rated current and voltage.  Power supply cord is not provided as a standard accessory with this server. Be sure to use power supply

cord specified by our company based on the power supply voltage and current depending on the environment for use.

 An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is used to prevent momentary voltage drops.

The server does not support UPS connection through the serial port (RS-232C) or power control by PowerChute Plus.

Power-on/Power-off

 Do not turn on the server after connecting the power cord to the outlet before the Module POWER LED on

the front of the device (see Chapter 1 (4.8 LEDs)) blinks in green (70 seconds).

 If an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is connected, set the schedule to wait for at least 70 seconds

before turning on the server.

 Do not power off or reset the server, nor disconnect the power cord before POST completes.  Make sure that the DISK ACCESS LED or Optical DISK ACCESS LED is off before turning off the power or

ejecting media from a hard disk drive or an optical disk.

 Allow 30 seconds or more to elapse when turning ON the power of the unit again after turning it to OFF.  When disconnecting power cord from the outlet, wait at least 30 seconds before connecting the power cord

again.

 For stable operation, it is recommended to restart the OS after the system has been duplexed.

Express5800/R310e-E4, R320e-E4, R320e-M4, R310f-E4, R320f-E4, R320f-M4 User's Guide

 When the power is supplied to both CPU/IO modules at about the same time, 'CPU/IO module 0' is

recognized as a primary module. In order for 'CPU/IO module 1' to be recognized as a primary module, connect the power cord to CPU/IO module 1 first, wait for a certain amount of time (15 seconds at least), and then connect the power cord to CPU/IO module 0.

 If a UPS is connected and you want to make CPU/IO module 1 recognized as a primary module, set the

schedule so that the power will be supplied to CPU/IO module 1 first, and then CPU/IO module 0, at least 15 seconds later.

Optional devices

 We do not guarantee reproduction of copy-protected DVDs and CDs using reproduction equipment if such

disks do not comply with the relevant standards.

 If this server, internal optional devices, and media used as backup devices (tape cartridges) are moved from

a cold place to a warm place in a short period of time, condensation may occur, causing malfunction or failure when these devices are next used. To protect important stored data and assets, make sure to wait for a sufficient period before using the server and components in the operating environment.

Reference: Time effective for avoiding condensation in winter (more than 10C difference between the

room temperature and atmospheric temperature) Disk devices: Approximately 2 to 3 hours Tape media: Approximately 1 day

 For optional devices, we recommend you use NEC products. Even if they are successfully installed or

connected, installation of unsupported devices can cause the server to malfunction or fail. You will be charged to repair failures or damage caused by the use of such products even if it is within the warranty period.

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.

Fault-Tolerant Features

Hardware modules work while synchronizing and comparing with each other. Even if one hardware module stops, the server can continue its operation as the service with the other hardware module.

This server is a highly fault-tolerant server that achieves continuous computing operations, data storage mirror, and continuous network connection. This server is capable of executing applications running on Windows/Linux or a guest operating system supported by VMware ESXi. This server achieves continuous computing operations for the server and server-based applicatio ns with its redundant CPU processing and redundant memory. It assures data redundancy through duplication of server data on an independent storage system. These features eliminate server downtime that is usuall y caused by network disconnection or trouble with the I/O controller, network adapter or hard disk drive, and support operation of the network and server applications continuously. This server detects status changes, errors and logs of these events. If you use an alarm notification tool, you can configure this server to notify you when certain events occur. This server is installed on the system as a server management solution. NEC ESMPRO, a GUI-based management tool, allows you to monitor, view, and configure the server. This tool also supp orts both local and remote management of the server.

Major components are duplexed:

Even if one hardware module stops, the server can continue operation with the other module. After the failed module is replaced, the new module obtains information from the other and resumes operation.

Chapter 1 General Description

(a) Advantages of this server

 Highly fault-tolerant processing and I/O subsystems

This server uses redundant hardware and software to assure server operation even if one module suffers trouble with its processor, memory, I/O (including trouble related to the I/O controller), hard disk drive, or network adapter.

 Continuous network connection

This server maintains continuous network connection by detecting any trouble with the network adapter, connection, etc. If trouble occurs, the standby network connection will take over all network traffic processing and thus securely maintain the network system connection of the server without losing net work traffic or client connection.

 Support of multiple network connections

Since this server can support multiple network connections, you can add network redundant control or network traffic control.

 No need to modify applications

You can run the each OS-compliant application on this server. Thus, unlike other highly fault-tolerant products, special API or scripts are not necessary.

 Automatic mirroring

This server automatically maintains data as the current data.

 Transparent migration

This server constantly monitors events. If trouble occurs on server module of this server, it will transparently use a redundant module of the failed module. This feature maintains data and user access without stopping application service.

 Automatic reconfiguration

When the failed module restarts after the trouble is corrected, the server will perform reconfiguration automatically, and if necessary, resynchronize the affected modules. Reconfiguration can include CPU processing (e.g., CPU memory), server's operating system (and related applications), and system data stored on the hard disk drive. In most cases, the server automatically restores redundancy of the server modules after recovery.

 Event notification function (Windows)

When trouble or other events are detected on the server, they will be notified to Log and saved. Therefore, you can view the log items locally or remotely by a usual OS operation. Since an events use unique IDs, they are easy to distinguish. In addition, you can use alert notification software such as Express Report Service or Express Report Service (HTTPS) to manage the server. It is recommended to use such software to cope with system failure quickly. Ask your service representative for details.

Chapter 1 General Description

 syslog function (Linux /VMware)

All events and failures detected by the server are saved in syslog. In addition, you can use alarm report software, such as Express Report Service, for management of this server. It is recommended that Expr ess Report Service be used also to cope with system failures quickly. Ask your sales representative for details.

 In-service repairing

You can repair or replace a failed module even if the server is operating.

Chapter 3 Setup

1.1 POST

Power-On Self Test (POST) is a self-test feature stored on the motherboard of the server. When you power on the server, POST will start automatically to check the CPU/IO board, DIMM, processor (CPU), and other devices. POST also displays startup messages for various utilities.

Usually, you do not need to check the POST message, but you should check messages when:

 You install a new server.  You suspect a failure.  An error message appears.

1.1.1

POST process

1. When you power on the server, it starts from the primary CPU/IO module. Then, POST begins, and messages are displayed on the display to notify of initialization of the memory, PCI device, and so on. After the initialization messages, the logo appears on the display.

Note

・Keyboard becomes operable after the logo appears.

・While the initialization messages are appearing, they may disappear on the screen (black

screen) a moment but there is no problem.

・Depending on the setting of BIOS setup utility (SETUP), the logo or initialization message

does not appear.

If Enabled is specified for Password On Boot in Security menu of SETUP, you will be prompted to enter password after the logo is displayed. If you enter the incorrect password three times consecutively, POST is stopped. In this case, power off the server, and power it on.

Important Do not set a password before installing an OS.

2. Press the Esc key to clear the log. Then, the contents of POST are displayed. It includes messages to notify of the installed CPU, the memory capacity, and others.

Tips

If you set "Quiet Boot" to [Disabled] in the "Boot" menu in the BIOS setup utility (SETUP), the contents of logo will be shown without the logo itself.

3. After a while, the following message appears on the screen. (* The on-screen message depends on your system environment.)

Press <F2> SETUP, <F4> ROM Utility, <F12> Network

You can run the various functions by pressing the following function key:

<F2> key: Runs BIOS Setup Utility (SETUP). For details, see Chapter 3 (2. BIOS Setup Utility

(SETUP)) on this guide.

<F4> key: Runs Offline Tools. For details, see Chapter 1 (12. Offline Tools) in Maintenance Guide

(Windows) , Maintenance Guide (Linux) or Chapter 1 (11. Offline Tools) in Maintenanc e Guide (VMware).

<F12> key: Starts from network.

4. The OS starts when POST is completed.

1.1.2

POST Error Messages

If POST detects an error, an error message appears on the screen. For descriptions of error messages, causes, and countermeasures, see Chapter 1 (6.2. POST Error Messages) in Maintenance Guide (Windows) , Maintenance Guide (Linux) or in Maintenance Guide (VMware).

1.1.3

Switching of boot pair

The CPU/IO module 0 or 1 is started depending on the primary/secondary status of modules when the server was shut down the last time. At the first startup after AC OFF, the CPU/IO module (0 or 1) powered on first is managed as primary, and the module powered on later is managed as secon dary.

If POST or OS startup does not complete normally, the server will automatically restart. In this case, the other CPU/IO module (secondary) is determined as primary module, and POST or OS runs on that module (switching of boot pair).

If POST does not complete normally on both CPU/IO modules, the server will stop with the state of DC OFF or POST halts with an error message displayed.

The following devices are connected to the primary CPU/IO module. When one CPU/IO module is disconnected because of a failure, the other module is selected automatically to continue operating.

 VGA (display)  USB device (keyboard, mouse, server switch unit, Flash FDD, optical disk drive)

Note

 If the Flash FDD is connected to a Windows model, the drive letter may change from A

to B by switching CPU/IO modules. Changing of the drive letter does not affect the operation of the server. If the drive letter is changed, access the Flash FDD with the changed drive letter.

 For Windows models, the drive letter of the optical disk drive is re-assigned

automatically. The unused letter is assigned to the drive in the order of D to Z. If you want to set the fixed drive letter to the optical disk drive, specify the letter which is not assigned in the order of D to Z after setting the hard disk drive letter.
