Do not use any cell phone or PHS and switch off them near the server. Electric waves from such devices
can cause server to malfunction.
Install the server in an appropriate place. F or details a bout the installation location, see Chapter 2 (2.
Installation and Connection).
Make sure that the server is off and unplug the po wer cord before co nnecting/removing cables to/from
peripheral devices, if they are not plug-and-play devices.
Connect the provided power cord to a 100/200 VAC outlet.
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 (UPS) unit is connected, set it to wait for at least 30 seconds before turning on the server
after power off. If the optional RAID Controller N8103-168 is installed, wait for at least 90 seconds before
turning on the server after turning off the power.
Turn off the server and unplug the power cord before moving it.
Regularly clean the server to prevent various types of failure. See Chapter 1 (2. Daily Maintenance) in
"Maintenance Guide" for details about cleaning.
Check the system clock approximatel y once per month. Use of a time server (NTP server) is
recommended.
We recommend you store the server at room temperature. Keep the following storage conditions.
Temperature: 10C to 55C, Humidity: 20% to 80%, No condensation of moisture
Do not use the server, or removable/backup media such as tape cartridges when moving them from a cold
place to a warm place. The condensation will occur and cause malfunctions and fai lures when these are
used in such state. Use the server after waiting sufficiently.
Reference: Time effective at avoiding condensation in winter (10C or more differences between the room
temperature and atmospheric temperature)
Disk devices: Approximately 2 to 3 hours
Tape media: Approximately 1 day
If you use the third party optional device to the server, and it causes failure, a charge for repairing must be
paid even within warranty period.

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)
Anti-static measure
This product contains static-sensitive electronic components. Follow the measures below to avoid a failure
caused by static electricity when installing or uninstalling any option al 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.

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.

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 on-board RAID controllers or the optional RAID controllers (N8103-171/172) are used, the RAID system
cannot be built in RAID5/RAID6.

RAID 60 6
Use SAS/SATA hard disk dr ives or SSDs that have the same capacity and rotational speed.
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 want to install the OS manually, use
the 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, see Chapter 2 (4. RAID System Configuration) in "Maintenance Guide" or the manual supplied with the optional RAID controller.
Important
Do not change the RAID system mode to hibernate.
Build a disk array in the RAID system using hard disk drives that have the
same specifications (capacity, rotational speed, and interface).
