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.

Read the following notes when installing or removing a PCI card.  Do not touch the terminals of the riser cards and the leads of electronic components with your bare hand.

Fingerprints and dust left on them cause the server to malfunction due to a connection failure or damage to the leads.

 The server provides no connector to connect a LED connector which is supplied in RAID Controller used

to indicate disk access.

 The search ord er for PCI bus slot on bo ot is as follows.

Slot 1A  Slot 1B

 The PCI devices of the same type (including onboard PCI device) may be recognized in different order

from that described above, depending on OS or RAID System BIOS utility. Check the slot location of PCI device by PCI bus number, device number and function number shown in the table below.
