the server, and its safety has been tested. Do not use the attached power cord for any other purpose.
Doing so may cause a fire or an electric shock.
Do not pull out a cable by gripping the cable part.
Pull a cable straight out by gripping the connector part. Pulling a cable by gripping the cable part or
applying extra pressure to the connector part may damage the cable part, which may cause a fire or
electric shock.
Installation, relocation, storage, and connection
CAUTION
Do not attempt to lift the server by yourself
Some servers weigh up to 30 kg depending on the server components. Carrying the server b y yourself
may damage your back. At least two people should securely hold the server from the bottom when
carrying it. Do not hold the front bezel to lift the server. The front bezel may be disengaged from the server,
causing personal injury. Hold the server firmly by its bottom.
Do not install the server in any place other than specified.
Do not install the server in the following places or any place other than specified in this User's Guide.
Failure to follow this instruction may cause a fire.
A dusty place
A humid place such as near a boiler
A place exposed to direct sunlight
An unstable place
Do not use the server in an environment where corrosive gas is present
Do not install the server in a place subject to corrosive gases including sodium chloride, sulfur dioxide,
hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, chlorine, ammonia, or ozone. Do not install the server in an
environment that contains dust, chemicals that accelerate corrosion such as NaCl or sulfur, or conductive
materials. Failure to follow this warning may cause the wiring on the printed wiring board to short-circuit,
leading to fire. If you have any questions, contact the store where you purchased the product or a
maintenance service company.
Do not install the server while the cover is removed
Do not install the server to a rack while the cover or other relevant items removed. Not only will the cooling
effect within the server decrease, causing the server to malfunction, but also may allow dust to enter the
server, resulting in fire or electrical shock.
Do not get your fingers caught in the rails
When mounting/removing the server onto/from the rack, be careful to avoid getting your fingers caught in
the rails or cutting your fingers on the rails.

Handling precautions (for proper operations)
Be sure to observe the following precautions for the proper functioning of the server. Ignoring the prec autions
may cause server malfunction or failure.
To avoid the influence of the electric waves, switch of any cell phone or PHS near the ser ver.
Place the server in an appropriate location. For details, refer to Chapter 2 Preparations (2.
Installation and Connection).
Before connecting/removing cables to/from peripheral devices, make sure that the server is off and
unplug the power cord.
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 unit is connected, set it to wait for at least 30 seconds before turning
on the server after power off.
After connecting power cord to the server, do n ot press the POWER switch/L ED before the POWER
LED (amber) is unlit.
Turn off the server and unplug the power cord before moving it.
Regularly clean the server to prevent various types of failure. (Refer to Chap ter 1 Maintenance (2.
Daily Maintenance) in "Maintenance Guide" for details about cleaning.)
Momentary voltage drop may occur due to lightning strike. To prevent this, use of UPS is
recommended.
We do not guarantee that any copy-protected CD that does not conform to standards will play on the
CD player.
In the following cases, check and adjust the system clock before op eratio n.
After transportation
After storage
After the server is used following a period of disuse, in which storage conditions did not conform to those
that guarantee server operations (temperature: 10C to 40C
Check the system clock approximately once per month. Use of a time server (NTP server) is
recommended if high accuracy timing is required by the system.

Observe the storage conditions (Temperature: 10C to 55C, Humidity: 20% to 80%, No
condensation of moisture) to store the server.
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 sufficien t perio d to us e the s erv er and componen ts in the oper ating

Working on the computer with bad posture such as hunching over or

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 pos ture 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 bright ness and contrast.
The most suitable brightness/contrast depends on age, individuals,
and envi ronment, 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
