Handling precautions

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

• 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, see 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 100/200 VAC outlet.

• 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 connecting power cord to power outlet after disconnecting it.

• If any Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) unit is connected, set it to wait for at least 30 seconds

before turning on the server after power off.

• Do not press the POWER switch to turn on the server before the STATUS LED1, 2 (amber) is unlit.

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

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

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

Maintenance) in Maintenance Guide for details.

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

recommended.

• Any copy-protected CD that does not conform to standards is not supported.

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

− After transportation

− After storage

− After a period of disuse in which storage conditions did not conform to those at which server operations

are guaranteed (Temperature: 5°C to 40°C [5°C to 45°C when an option is installed, subject to restrictions on the configuration], 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.

• Observe the storage conditions (Temperature: −10 C to 55°C, Humidity: 20% to 80%, No

condensation of moisture) to store the server.

• Do not power off or reset the server, nor disconnect the power cord before POST completes.

•

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

d 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 (more than 10°C differences 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 our NEC products. Even if they are successfully

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

Express5800/T120g 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.

Chapter 2 Preparations

1.2 Anti-static Measures

The server contains static-sensitive components. Follow the measures below to avoid a failure caused by static electricity when installing or uninstalling any optional device.

 Wearing Anti-static Wrist Strap or Anti-static Gloves

Wear a wrist strap on your wrist and connect the wire to the chassis. If there is no wrist strap, touch an unpainted metal surface of the chassis connected to the ground to discharge static electricity from your body before touching the component. Touch the metal part occasionally to discharge the static electricity while working on the component.

 Checking the Workplace

 Work on an anti-static floor or concrete floor.

 If you work on a place where static electricity is likely to be generated (such as carpet), be sure to

provide anti-static protection.

 Using the Work Table

Place the server on a mat with Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection.

 Clothing

 Do not wear wool or synthetic clothes.

 Wear anti-static shoes.

 Remove a ring, bracelet, wrist watch, and any kind of metal accessories.

 Handling of Components

 Keep the component in an anti-static bag until you install it to the server.

 Hold the component by the edges to avoid touching any terminals or mounting parts.

 Place the component in an anti-static bag when storing or moving them.

 Handling of Cables

When connecting a cable (a long LAN cable), static electricity may also be charged due to friction against the floor. Connecting the charged cable to the server will cause damage to the internal devices of the server. It is recommended to use a product such as electrostatic discharge kit to eliminate the static charge before connecting the cable.

 Installing and Uninstalling the Optional Device

 To avoid electric hazard and malfunction, be sure to turn off the power switch of the server and unplug

the power cord from the outlet before installing or uninstalling any optional device.

 If the device is a hot-plug device, you do not need to turn off the power switch and unplug the power

cord.

 The device contains static-sensitive electronic components. When installing or uninstalling the optional

device, wear an anti-static wrist strap on your wrist to avoid a failure caused by the static electricity. To use the strap, connect the wire to the chassis.

1.10 Flash Backup Unit for RAID Controller

If a RAID controller (N8103-176/177/178/179) is installed with a Flash Backup Unit (FBU), you can avoid data loss caused by accidents including temporary blackout during Write Back operation. The model of the FBU to be used depends on RAID controller.

 For N8103-176/177/178, use N8103-181

 For N8103-179, use N8103-179 accessories Flash Backup Unit (FBU)

1.10.1

Handling precautions

Observe the followings when using FBU. Ignoring these precautions may cause damage to your data or other devices.

 Use the FBU dedicated to the RAID controller you are using.

 The FBU is a very delicate electronic device. Before installation, touch the metal frame part of the server to

discharge the static electricity from your body.

 Do not drop or bump the FBU.

 For recycling and disposing of the FBU, refer to the User’s Guide that comes with it.

 The order in which FBU is installed on this server is as follows.

1.11 PCI Card

The server is equipped with five slots for PCI card.

Important You must avoid static electricity to work with the procedure below. For

details, see Chapter 2 (1.2 Anti-static Measures).

1.11.1

Notes

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

 Do not touch the terminals of the PCI 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:

#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.

Slot3  Slot2  Slot4  Slot5  Slot1

 Bus number, device number and function number of PCI devices are as follows:

PCI device Bus number Device number Function number

Slot 1 82h 0 X Slot 2 20h 0 X Slot 3 01h 0 X Slot 4 40h 0 X Slot 5 68h 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 card or USB device is added, the boot order is changed.

In BIOS Setup Utility, select Hard Drive BBS Priorities from the Boot menu, and then specify a higher priority for the boot device. If an HDD under an optional RAID controller is connected, the boot device is (Bus xx Dev 00) PCI RAID Adapter. Note that the value for xx changes depending on the PCI slot where the RAID controller is installed.

 When an HDD under a RAID controller, LAN adapter (network booting), or Fibre Channel controller is not

a bootable disk, disable the option ROM scan of BIOS settings. See Chapter 3 (2. System BIOS Setup) for how to specify it.
