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.

Tips

When Logical Drives (RAID 1, 5, 6, 10, and 50) are configured in the RAID System, the

system can continue to operate even if one Hard Disk Drive (2 drives in the case of RAID 6)

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

is indicates that a Hard Disk Drive is being rebuilt (not a defect). In a RAID S

ystem, 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 of Internal Hard Disk Drives in the RAID System

This section describes how to use the Hard Disk Drives installed in the HDD cage at the front of the server in the RAID System.

Important

Note

Tips

To configure the system, you can use either a software- controlled on-board RAID Controller (LSI Embedded MegaRAID

) or a hardware-controlled optional RAID Controller (N8103-128/129/130/134/135).

If you use Hard Disk Drives in the RAID System or change the RAID level,

initialize the Hard Disk Drives. If the Hard Disk Drive contains valuable data,

be sure to backup the Hard Disk Drive before installing the RAID Controller

and configuring the RAID System.

In the RAID System, use Hard Disk Drives that have the same specifications

(capacity, rotational speed, and standard) for each Disk Array.

• Logical Drives can be created even with only one Physical Device.

• Understand the characteristics of each RAID Controller such as available RAID

levels or Hard Disk Drives and choose an appropriate RAID Controller.

• Logical Drives except for RAID0 have a smaller usable capacity compared to

the total capacity of the Hard Disk Drive in the Logical Drive, while disk reliability

increases.

To use this RAID System, jumper settings on motherboard and backplane are required.

For the location of the jumpers and setting, refer to the following.

Jumper settings on the motherboard and backplane required to use the RAID Controller (LSI Embedded MegaRAID

) or optional RAID Controllers (N8103-128/129/130/134) are described in the images below.

• 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 (N8103-128/129/130/134/135).

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 standard).

• Before configuring RAID System using EXPRESSBUILDER, be sure to

clear the configuration information of the RAID Controller by referring to

the manual of the relevant controller.

• The display of slot numbers (SLT) for Hard Disk Drives in the OS system event log varies depending on

the RAID Controller to be connected. The tables below show the insert position of Hard Disk Drives and slot numbers (SLT). The information on these tables is important when checking logs or replacing a Hard Disk Drive.

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 before 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 (replacing 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 an auto rebuild, the

Installation

Install a Hard Disk Drive by using the following procedure. Follow the same installation procedure for other slots.

Important

Tips

1. Refer to Chapter 2 (1.3 Overview of Installation and Removal) for preparations.

2. Locate the slot where you install the Hard Disk Drive. The server provides six slots. Install Hard Disk Drives in ascending port number order. For details, refer to Chapter 2 (1.13 3.5-inch Hard Disk Drive).

3. Remove the dummy trays. Dummy trays are installed in all slots.

In the RAID System, build a Disk Array using Hard Disk Drives that have the

same specifications (capacity, rotational speed, and standard).

Hard Disk Drives can be installed or removed simply by removing the front bezel.

Important

• Keep the dummy trays for future use.

• Dummy trays are intended to increase the cooling effect inside the server.

4. Unlock the handle of the drive carrier.

Keep the dummy trays installed in slots where Hard Disk Drives are not

installed.

Removal

Remove a Hard Disk Drive in the following procedure.

Important

Note

Data on Hard Disk Drives

You are responsible for erasing sensitive data including customer

information or financial information of your company stored in the

removed Hard Disk Drives so that such data will not be disclosed to a third

party. The data seems to be erased using the "Empty the recycle bin"

operation in Windows or the format command of the OS, but the actual

data remains in the Hard Disk Drives. Data which is not yet completely

erased can be recovered by using special software and reused by

unauthorized parties.

To avoid such problems, it is strongly recommended that you use

commercial software or services to securely erase data. For information

on erasing data, contact the store where you purchased the product or

your maintenance service company.

If you have to remove a disk due to a Hard Disk Drive failure, check the slot with

its DISK LED lit in amber.

DISK LED

1. Refer to Chapter 2 (1.3 Overview of Installation and Removal) for preparations.

2. Push the lever to unlock and open the handle.

3. Hold the drive carrier firmly and pull out the Hard Disk Drive.

4. If you intend to use the server while the Hard Disk Drive is removed, fill the open slot with a dummy tray.

Note

Do not pull the slot out from the handle. Doing so may damage the handle.

Replacing a Hard Disk Drive in the RAID System

In the RAID System, you can use the auto rebuild feature to restore data back to the state before a 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 logic drives set to RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, and RAID 50.

The disk is automatically rebuilt when hot swapping (replacing a disk while the power 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 the autorebuild is being performed.

Observe the following precautions whenever executing the auto rebuild

• Do not turn off the server until the 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 an auto rebuild, the

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

Chapter 2 Preparations

Do not install the rack or server under the following environment. Doing so may cause malfunction of the server.

• Narrow space from which devices cannot be pulled out from the rack completely

• Place that cannot bear the total weights of the rack and devices mounted on the rack

• Place where stabilizers cannot be installed or where the rack can be installed only after the practice of

proper earthquake-resistant construction

• Place of uneven or slanting floor

• Place of drastic temperature change (near a heater, air conditioner, or refrigerator)

• Place where intense vibration may be generated

• Place where corrosive gases (sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, chlorine, ammonia,

ozone, etc) exist Place where the air (or dust) includes components accelerating corrosion (ex. sulfur, sodium chloride) or conductive metals

• Place where chemicals may be accidentally sprayed over

• Place where a carpet not subject to anti-static process is laid

• Place where some objects may be fallen on the rack

• Place near a device generating intense magnetic field (such as TVs, radios, broadcast/communication

antennas, power transmission wires, and electromagnetic cranes) is placed (If unavoidable, contact your maintenance service company for proper shield construction.)

• Place where the power cord of the server must be connected to an AC outlet that shares the outlet of

another device with large power consumption

• Place near equipment that generates power noise (e.g., contact spark at power-on/power-off of

commercial power supply through a relay). If you must install the server close to such equipment, have your maintenance service company separate power cables or install noise filter.

Important

Temperature increases and airflow in the rack

If multiple devices are installed, or if the inside of the rack is not sufficiently

ventilated, the internal temperature rises due to the heat emitted from each

device, which may result in a malfunction. Review airflow in the rack and

room and take sufficient measures so that the internal temperature will not

exceed the operational temperature during operation.

Air enters the server from the front and exits from the rear.
