Handling precautions (for proper operations)

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 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.  Do not press the POWER switch to turn on the server before the STATUS LED (amber) is unlit.  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.

 Wait for at least 30 seconds before turning on the server after turning off the server.  Do not power off or reset the server, nor disconnect the power cord before POST completes.  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 about cleaning.

 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  After the server is used following a period of disuse, in which storage conditions did not conform to those

that guarantee server operations (temperature: 5 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 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. 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/standby function.  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/R120g-2M 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.

 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, or boot mode is changed the boot order

may change. Check priority for the boot device in BIOS Setup Utility.

[Boot] - [CD/DVD Priorities] → Check the display [Boot] - [Removable Priorities] → Check the display [Boot] - [HDD Priorities] → Check the display [Boot] - [ Network Priorities] → Check the display

 If the boot device is an HDD and located 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

Controller is installed.

 For a RAID Controller, LAN card (network boot), or Fibre Channel controller, if a hard disk drive on which

an OS is installed is connected, set the option ROM for that slot to Enabled. See Chapter 2 (1. System BIOS) in "Maintenance Guide" for how to specify it.

The following tables list supported cards and slots available for them. For details of the features of each card, see the manual supplied with the card.

Tips

 Different cards mounted on the same bus operate at the lower frequency.  If the operation performance of PCI card differs from that of PCI Slot, the PCI

card operates at lower frequency.
