Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)

Safety notes

This section provides notes on using the server safely. Read this section carefully to ensure proper and safe use of the server. For symbols, refer to Safety precautions.

General

Do not use the server for services where human life may be at stake or high reliability is required.

This server is not intended for use in medical, nuclear, aerospace, mass transit or other applications where human life may be at stake or high reliability is required, nor is it intended for use in controlling such applications. We disclaim liability for any personal injury and property damages caused by such use of this server.

Do not use the server if any smoke, odor, or noise is present.

If smoke, odor, or noise is present, immediately turn off the server and disconnect the power plug from the outlet, then contact the store where you purchased the product or your maintenance service company. Using the server in such conditions may cause a fire.

Do not insert needles or metal objects.

Do not insert needles or metal objects into ventilation holes in the server or openings in the optical disk drive. Doing so may cause an electric shock.

WARNING

CAUTION

Keep water or foreign matter away from the server.

Do not let any liquid such as water or foreign materials including pins or paper clips enter the server. Failure to follow this warning may cause an electric shock, a fire, or failure of the server.

Power supply and power cord use

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)

Do not hold the power plug with a wet hand.

Do not disconnect/connect the plug while your hands are wet. Failure to follow this warning may cause an electric shock.

Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.

Never connect the ground wire to a gas pipe. Failure to follow this warning may cause a gas explosion.

Plug in to a proper power source.

Use a grounded outlet and observe the specified voltage. Use of an improper power source ma y cause a fire or a power leak.

Do not install the server where yo u need an extension cord. Use of a cord that does not meet the power specifications of the server may heat up the cord and cause a fire.

If you want to use an AC cord set with a ground wire of class OI, be sure to connect the ground wire before inserting the power plug into the outlet. Before disconnecting the ground wire, be sure to disconnect the power plug from the output.

WARNING

CAUTION

Do not connect many cords into a single outlet by using extension cords.

The electric current exceeding the rated flow overheats the outlet, which may cause a fire.

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.

Insert the power plug into the outlet as far as it goes.

Heat generation resulting from a halfway inserted power plug (imperfect contact) may cause a fire. Heat will also be generated if condensation is formed on dusty blades of the halfway inserted plug, increasing the possibility of fire.

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)

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.

Tips for your health and safety

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.
