Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)

Safety notes

This section provides notes on using the server safely. Read this section carefully to ensure proper and safe use of the server. For symbols, refer to Safety precautions.

General

Do not use the server for services where human life may be at stake or high reliability is required.

This server is not intended for use in medical, nuclear, aerospace, mass transit or other applications where human life may be at stake or high reliability is required, nor is it intended for use in controlling such applications. We disclaim liability for any personal injury and property damages caused by such use of this server.

Do not use the server if any smoke, odor, or noise is present.

If smoke, odor, or noise is present, immediately turn off the server and disconnect the power plug from the outlet, then contact the store where you purchased the product or your sales representative. Using the server in such conditions may cause a fire.

Do not insert needles or metal objects.

Do not insert needles or metal objects into ventilation holes in the server or openings in the optical disk drive. Doing so may cause an electric shock.

Use a rack that conforms to the designated standard

This server can be mounted onto a 19-inch rack that conforms to EIA standards. Do not mount the server onto any rack that does not conform to EIA standards. Doing so may cause a server malfunction, personal injury, or damage to peripheral devices. For more information about racks that can be used with the server, consult with your sales representative.

Use the server only under the specified environment

Do not install the server rack in any environment that is not suitable for installation. Installation in an unsuitable environment is harmful for the server and other systems installed in the rack

and may cause fire or personal injury due to the rack falling. For a detailed explanation on installation environments or seismic reinforcement, see the instruction manual supplied with the rack or consult with your sales representative.

WARNING

Keep water or foreign matter away from the server.

Do not let any liquid such as water or foreign materials including pins or paper clips enter the server. Failure to follow this warning may cause an electric shock, a fire, or failure of the server. When such things accidentally enter the server, immediately turn off the power and disconnect the power plug from the outlet. Do not disassemble the server, and contact the store where you purchased the product or your sales representative.

CAUTION

Express5800/R110f-1E User’s Guide

Rack installation

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)

Do not attempt to carry or install the server alone

More than two people are required to carry or install the rack. Otherwise, the rack may fall, resulting in personal injury or damage to peripheral devices. In particular, tall racks such as a 44U rack become unstable unless steadied with a stabilizer. Make sure that two or more people hold the rack to carry or install the rack.

Do not install with the load weight distributed unevenly

To avoid unevenly distributing the load of the rack and server, install a stabilizer or connect multiple racks to distribute the weight. Otherwise, the rack may fall, resulting in personal injury.

Do not install components alone, and check the door hinge pins of the rack

Two or more people are required to install the rack components such as the door or rails. When installing the door, make sure that both upper and lower hinge pins are held in place. Incomplete attachme nt may cause components to fall off as well as personal injury.

Do not extend any device from the rack that is not stabilized

When extending a device from the rack, make sure that the rack is stable (by using a stabilizer or seismic reinforcement). Otherwise, the rack may fall, resulting in personal injury.

Do not extend more than one device out of the rack

Extending multiple devices from the rack may cause the rack to fall, resulting in personal injury. Extend only one device at one time.

Do not exceed the rated capacity of the power supply when connecting devices

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.
