• Before connecting/removing cables to/from peripheral devices, make sure that the server is off and

unplug the power cord.

• Connect the provided power cord to a 100 VAC outlet. If an optional cable is used, you may connect

to a 100 or 200 VAC power system.

• 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 turning on the server after turning off the server. If any

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.

• 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.

• 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%) to store the server. (No condensation of moisture)

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)

• 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)

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.
