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 cellphones 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, 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 not plug-and-play devices.

• Connect the provided power cord to a 100/200 VAC outlet.

• Do not press the POWER switch until the UID LED (lighting in blue) goes out after connecting the

power cord of this machine to an outlet or mounting the server module.

• 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.

• Wait for at least 20 seconds before inserting a server module after removing 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.

• 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. For details, see Chapter 1 Maintenance

(2. Daily Maintenance) in "Maintenance Guide".

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

recommended.

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

server’s optical disk drive.

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

− After transportation

− After storage

• 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

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 (more than 10°C differences between the

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

• This server does not support hibernation and standby mode.

• 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/D120h 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 eye

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 fati

gue 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 t

oo 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.

PCI Card

This server is equipped with two “PCI riser cards” to which the PCI board can be installed. One low profile PCI board can be installed to PCI #1 and PCI#2 riser cards respectively.

Important

To avoid static electricity, see Chapter 1 (1.8 Anti-static Mea

sures ) in Safety

Precautions and Regulatory Notices.

Precautions for PCI card

Read the following precautions 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.

• Make sure the card type before connecting it to riser card.

• This server is not equipped with the LED connector to indicate the disk access that may be provided by the

RAID controller or others.

• The PCI device (including on-board PCI device) of the same type may differently recognize due to OS or

RAID configuration utility.

• If the LAN adapter is added, use a flat-blade screwdriver, etc. when pulling the cable out of the LAN

connector. At this time, take extreme care not to allow a flat-blade screwdriver to damage the LAN connector or other boards.

• If the device (PCI board or USB device) that can be booted is added or the Boot Mode is changed, the boot

priority may change. Check the boot device priority in BIOS setup.

Boot

→

USB CD/DVD→ Check the display.

Boot → USB Key→ Check the display.

Boot → USB Hard Disk→ Check the display.

Boot

→

Hard Disk→ Check the display.

Boot → Network→ Check the display.

If the installed device is an HDD under an optional RAID controller, the bootable device is the (“SCSI Hard Drive, Partition z”) PCI RAID Adapter. (xx changes depending on the PCI slot where a RAID

controller is installed)

• If a hard disk drive that contain OS is not connected with RAID controller, LAN card (network boot), or Fibre

Channel controller, set the option ROM for that slot to Disabled. See Chapter 2 (1. System BIOS) in "Maintenance Guide".

Supported cards and available slots

The following table lists supported cards and slots available for them. For details of the features of each card, refer to the manual supplied with it.

Tips

If the different cards are mounted on the same bus, or if the operation performance of PCI

card differs from that of PCI slot, the PCI card operates at lower frequency.

Use of Internal Hard Disk Drives in the RAID System

This section describes how to use the internal hard disk drives in the RAID system.

Important

If you use hard disk drives in the RAID s

ystem or change the RAID level, hard disk

drives are initialized. Be sure to back

up 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.

If using internal hard disk drives in RAID system with an optional RAID controller (N8103-176/177/178/188) installed in the server, the SAS/SATA cable needs to be rewired.

Tips

When using SAS hard disk drives, RAID controller is mandatory.

Installation

For installation of the optional RAID controller, see “Chapter 2 (1.8 上の PCI Card)”.

If multiple devices are installed, or if the inside of

the rack is not sufficiently

ventilated, the internal temperature rises due to th

e heat emitted from each

device, which may result in a

malfunction. Review airflow in the rack and

room and take sufficient measures so that the

internal temperature will not

exceed the operational temperature during operation.

Air enters the server from the front and exits from the rear.
