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)
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.
