Uninterruptible Power Supply unit is connected, set it to wait for at least 30 seconds before turning on the server after power off.

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

 Regularly clean the server to prevent various types of failure. (Refer to 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.

 For some optional devices that can be installed in the optical disk drive or 5.25-inch device bay, it is

possible to eject the tray or media by executing a software command. Before you execute the software command to eject, make sure that the front door is open. If you execute the command while the front door is closed, the tray or media hits the door, which can cause not only errors but also server failure.

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

CD player.

 Make sure that optional devices you are going to install are supported for use with the server. Even if

they are successfully installed or connected, installation of unsupported devices can cause the server to malfunction or even failure.

 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: 10C 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. If you notice that the system clock runs significantly faster or slower over time even after adjustment, contact the store where you purchased the product or your maintenance service company for repair.

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)

Express5800/GT110d User’s Guide

 In order to get the server and internal devices to work properly, we recommend you store the server

at room temperature. 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 (10C or more 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. Some memory or Hard Disk Drive

manufactured by other companies are supported for use with this server, however, you will be charged to repair failure or damage caused by use of such products even within warranty period.

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)

Express5800/GT110d 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.

Use of Internal Hard Disk Drives in the RAID System

This section describes how to use the Hard Disk Drives installed in the HDD cage at the front of the server in the RAID System.

Important

If you use Hard Disk Drives in the RAID System or change the RAID level,

initialize the Hard Disk Drives. If the Hard Disk Drive used in the RAID

System contains valuable data, be sure to backup 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.

 Understand the characteristics of each RAID Controller such as available RAID

levels or Hard Disk Drives and choose an appropriate RAID Controller.

 Logical Drives except for RAID0 have a smaller usable capacity compared to

the total capacity of the Hard Disk Drive in the Logical Drive, while disk reliability

increases.

To configure the system, you can use either a software- controlled on-board RAID Controller (LSI Embedded MegaRAID

) or a hardware-controlled optional RAID Controller (N8103-128/129/130/134).

To use this RAID System, jumper settings on motherboard are required.

For the location of the jumpers and setting, refer to the following.

Jumper settings on the motherboard required to use the RAID Controller (LSI Embedded MegaRAIDTM) or optional RAID Controllers (N8103-128/129/130/134) are described in the images below.

Tips In the factory settings, the jumper switch is set to Disabled.

Chapter 2 Preparations

(a) When using on-board RAID Controllers (LSI Embedded MegaRAIDTM)

By changing the jumper setting for RAID configuration on the motherboard, the internal Hard Disk Drive can be recognized as a software-controlled RAID System Hard Disk Drive.

Change the jumper switch setting by using the following procedure.

1. Refer to steps 1 to 5 in Chapter 2 (1.3 Overview of Installation and Removal) for preparations.

2. Remove the side cover while referring to Chapter 2 (1.4 Removing the Side Cover).

3. Set the SWRAID jumper to Enabled.

4. Reattach the side cover.

If you changed the jumper setting, configure the RAID System using the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility.

For details, refer to Chapter 2 (4. RAID System Configuration) in "Maintenance Guide".

Tips

If you use the EXPRESSBUILDER DVD supplied with the server for setup, the

RAID System is automatically configured. Or, you intend to install Windows OS,

OS also can be installed automatically and seamlessly.

(b) If an optional RAID Controller (N8103-128/129/130/134) is used

If using internal Hard Disk Drives in a RAID System with an optional RAID Controller installed in the server, the following cable is required instead of using the interface cable supplied with the server.

 For 3.5-inch Hard Disk Drives: K410-252(00) internal SAS/SATA cable

 For 2.5-inch Hard Disk Drives: K410-251(00) internal SAS/SATA cable

For detailed instructions, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the optional RAID Controller (N8103-128/129/130/134).

Note

When installing an optional RAID Controller, start the BIOS Setup utility, select

PCI Configuration from the Advanced menu, and then make sure that the

parameter of PCI Slot x ROM (x is PCI slot number) is set to Enabled.

Tips If you use an optional RAID Controller, set the SWRAID jumper to Disabled.

For the instruction of installing the optional RAID Controller (N8103-128/129/130/134), refer to Chapter 2 (1.10 PCI Card).

Important

When connecting a RAID Controller, set the boot priority to 8th or higher in

the Boot menu of the BIOS Setup utility. If the setting is 9th or lower, the

configuration menu for RAID Controllers cannot be launched.

(d) Removal

To remove the optional RAID Controller (N8103-128/129/130/134), reverse the installation procedure.

If you intend to use with the card removed, be sure to attach the slot cover attached to the riser card.

Notes on setting up a RAID System

Note the following points when setting up a RAID System.

 The number of Hard Disk Drives required varies in each RAID level.

 If an on-board RAID Controller or optional RAID Controller (N8103-128/129) is used, the RAID System

cannot be built in RAID5/RAID6.

The minimum number of Hard Disk Drives required to set up a RAID System

RAID 1 2 2

RAID 5 3

RAID 6 3 (N8103-130), 4 (N8103-134)

RAID 10 4 4

 Use SAS/SATA hard disks or SSDs that have the same capacity and rotational speed.

 As the size of Logical Drive cannot be specified in RAID 10 with the on-board RAID Controller, the

Logical Drive size will be at least 4 TB if a Hard Disk Drive of 2 TB or more is used. However, the Logical Drive where the OS is to be installed may be up to 2 TB due to OS restrictions, and therefore RAID 10 using a Hard Disk Drive of 2 TB or more cannot be supported if an on-board RAID Controller is used.

When installing an OS in your RAID System, you can easily complete the setup process, including RAID configuration and OS installation, by using EXPRESSBUILDER. If you are installing the OS manually, use the RAID System configuration utility. The utility can be run during POST which starts immediately after the server is turned on. For details on the procedure of configuring a Logical Drive, refer to Chapter 2 (4. RAID System Configuration) in "Maintenance Guide" or the manual supplied with the optional RAID Controller (N8103-128/129/130/134).

Important

 Do not put your system into hibernate state when N8103- 128/129 / 130

/134 is installed.

 A mix of SAS and SATA drives cannot be used within the RAID System.

 Before configuring RAID System using EXPRESSBUILDER, be sure to

clear the configuration information of the RAID Controller by referring to

the manual of the relevant controller.

 The display of slot numbers (SLT) for Hard Disk Drives in the OS system event log varies depending on

the RAID Controller to be connected. The tables below show the insert position of Hard Disk Drives and slot numbers (SLT). The information on these tables is important when checking logs or replacing a Hard Disk Drive.
