• Wait for at least 30 seconds (When using N8103-152 RAID Controller, it is 90 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 (When using N8103-152 RAID Controller, it is 90 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.

• 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.

Express5800/R110f-1E User’s Guide

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 (more than 10°C 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)

Anti-Static Measures

This product contains static-sensitive electronic components. Follow the measures below to avoid a failure caused by static electricity when installing or uninstalling any optional device.

● Wearing Anti-static Wrist Strap or Anti-static Gloves

Wear a wrist strap on your wrist and connect the wire to the chassis. If there is no wrist strap, touch an unpainted metal surface of the chassis connected to the ground to discharge static electricity from your body before touching the component. Touch the metal part occasionally to discharge the static electricity while working on the component.

● Checking the Workplace

− Work on an anti-static floor or concrete floor.

− If you work on a place where static electricity is likely to be generated (e.g. carpet), be sure to provide

anti-static protection.

● Using the Work Table

Place the server on a mat with Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection.

● Clothing

− Do not wear wool or synthetic clothes.

− Wear anti-static shoes.

− Remove any kind of metal accessories such as a ring, bracelet or wrist watch.

● Handling of Components

− Keep the component in an anti-static bag until you install it to the server.

− Hold the component by the edges to avoid touching any terminals or mounting parts.

− Place the component in an anti-static bag when storing or moving them.

● Handling of Cables

When connecting a cable (e.g., LAN cable), static electricity may also be charged due to friction against the floor. Connecting the charged cable with an I/O device may cause damage to the devices in the system. It is recommended to use a product such as electrostatic discharge kit to eliminate the static charge before connecting the cable.

● Installing and Uninstalling the Optional Device

− To avoid electric hazard and malfunction, be sure to turn off the power switch of the server and unplug the power cord from the outlet before installing or uninstalling any optional device. If the device is hot-swappable, you do not need to turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord.

− The device contains static-sensitive electronic components. When installing or uninstalling the optional device, wear an anti-static wrist strap on your wrist to avoid a failure caused by the static electricity. To use the strap, connect the wire to the chassis.

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)

Tips for your health and safety

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.

• The LED flashes green

This indicates a hard disk drive is being accessed.

• The LED flashes amber

When Logical Drives are configured in the RAID System, this indicates the inst alled hard disk drive is broken.

Tips

When Logical Drives (RAID 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60) are configured in the RAID S yste m, the system can continue to operate even if one hard disk drive (2 drives in the case of RAID 6 or RAID 60) failed. However, we recommend you replace the failed hard disk drive and perform rebuilding as soon as possible (hard disk drives are replaced by using hot swapping).

• The LED flashes green and amber alternately

This indicates that a hard disk drive is being rebuilt (not a defect). In a RAID System, the hard disk drive is automatically rebuilt upon replacing a broken hard disk drive (auto build function). The LED flashes green and amber alternately while a hard disk drive is being rebuilt.

The LED goes off when rebuilding completes. If rebuilding fails, the LED flashes amber.

Important Observe the following precautions whenever you use the auto build function.

• Do not turn off or reboot the server while a hard disk drive is being rebuilt.

• Wait at least 90 seconds before installing a hard disk drive after removing one.

• Do not replace a hard disk drive while another hard disk drive is being rebuilt.

• Use SAS/SATA Hard Disk Drives or SSDs that have the same capacity and rotational speed.

• If you intend to install the OS to the RAID System, the process from RAID configuration to OS installation

can be easily completed by using the EXPRESSBUILDER. If you wish to install the OS manually, use a RAID System Configuration utility (WebBIOS or SuperBuild 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 (N8103-171/149/150/151/152/160).

Replacing a Hard Disk Drive in the RAID System

In the RAID System, you can use the auto rebuild feature that can restore the data back to the state b efore the failure occurred by writing the data saved before the replacement to a new Hard Disk Drive after replacing the broken Hard Disk Drive.

The auto rebuild feature is enabled in Logical Drives set to RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, and RAID 50. The disk is automatically rebuilt when hot swapping (replaci ng a disk while the power is on) a failed Hard

Disk Drive. During the auto rebuild, the DISK LED on the Hard Disk Drive flashes green and amber alternately to

indicate that auto rebuild is being performed. Observe the following precautions whenever executing auto rebuild.

• Do not turn off the server until auto rebuild completes after a Hard Disk Drive fails.

• Leave an interval of at least 90 seconds between a Hard Disk Drive removal and a Hard Disk Drive

installation.

• Do not replace a disk during the auto rebuilding of another Hard Disk Drive (during a n au to rebuild, the

DISK LED on the Hard Disk Drive flashes green and amber alternately).
