Express5800/GT110d-S User’s Guide

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)

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.

Tips for your health and safety

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

Note

Tips

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).

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.

In the RAID System, use Hard Disk Drives that have the same specifications

(capacity, rotational speed, and standard) for each Disk Array.

• 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 use this RAID System, jumper settings on motherboard and backplane are required.

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

Jumper settings on the motherboard and backplane required to use the RAID Controller (LSI Embedded MegaRAID

) or optional RAID Controllers (N8103-128/129/130/134) are described in the images below.

After that, configure the RAID System using 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 (N8103-128/ 129/130/134) 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: K410-253(00) internal SAS/SATA cable

− For 2.5-inch Hard Disk Drives: K410-180(00) internal SAS cable

Chapter 2 Preparations

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

(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. The slot cover must be screwed into place.

1.8.1

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.

Important

1. Installing Internal Optional Devices

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.

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

cannot be built in RAID5/RAID6.

On-board RAID Controller or

N8103-128/129

N8103-130/134

• Use SAS/SATA Hard Disk Drives 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 change the RAID System mode to hibernate.

• 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.
