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 or a fire.

Do not connect or disconnect any earth wire with the power cord of the workstation plugged to a power source.

Make sure to power off the workstation and unplug the power cord from a power outlet before connecting/disconnecting any earth wire to/from the workstation. If the workstation is off-powered but its power cord is plugged to a power source, touching an earth wire may cause an electric shock or a fire resulted from a short circuit.

CAUTION

Plug in to a proper power source.

Use a grounded outlet with the specified voltage. Use of an outlet with a voltage other than that specified causes fire and electric leak. Do not install the workstation in any environment that requires an extension cord. Connecting to an outlet that does not meet the power specifications of the workstation causes overheating, resulting in fire.

If you want to use an AC cord set with a ground wire of class 0I, 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.

Do not connect many power 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 hold the power cable when disconnecting it.

When disconnecting a power cable from the device, hold the cable connector and pull it straight out. Pulling the cable out by the cable portion or giving mechanical stress to the connector could damage the cable and connector to result in an electric shock hazard or a fire.

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.

• Momentary voltage drop may occur due to lightning strike. To prevent this, use of UPS is recommended.

• If you installed the optional graphics accelerator board, install the display driver according to the manual

provided with the graphics accelerator board.

• If you specify 9KB for Jumbo Frame size in LAN configuration, expected performance may not be obtained

due to running condition or network environment. In this case, specify 4KB for Jumbo Frame size.

• If this workstation, 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 workstation 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)

Hard disk drive: Approximately 2 to 3 hours

Tape media: Approximately 1 day

• For optional devices, we recommend you use our NEC genuine products. Even if they are successfully

installed or connected, installation of unsupported devices can cause the workstation to malfunction or even failure. You will be charged to repair failure or damage caused by use of such products even within warranty period.

• Be sure to turn off the cell phone or PHS near the workstation. Electric waves from such devices can cause

workstation to malfunction.

• When you have just removed the USB device, wait at least 5 seconds before inserting it.

Handling precautions (anti-static measures)

Express5800/53Xi, Y53Xi User's Guide

Handling precautions (anti-static measures)

This product contains static-sensitive electronic components. Follow this measures below to avoid a failure

caused by static electricity when installing or uninstalling any optional device.

• Wearing Anti-static Wrist Strap Or Anti-static Gloves

Wear a wrist strap on your wrist and connect the wire to the chassis. If there is no wrist strap, touch an

unpainted metal surface of the chassis connected to the ground to discharge static electricity from your body

before touching the component. Touch the metal part occasionally to discharge the static electricity while

working on the component.

• Checking the Workplace

anti-static protection.

• Using the Work Table

Place the workstation 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 workstation. – 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

Handling precautions (anti-static measures)

Express5800/53Xi, Y53Xi User's Guide

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.

1.5 Onboard RAID Controller

The workstation is equipped with an Onboard RAID Controller to configure a RAID system.

Use the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility installed in Onboard RAID Controller to configure the RAID

system.

Note

Use two hard disk drives of the same capacity and performance.

The Onboard RAID Controller supports RAID0 (striping) and RAID1 (mirroring).

(1) RAID0

In RAID0, data is distributed to hard disk drives and recorded. The mode is called "striping".

RAID0 allows all hard disk drives to be accessed collectively; accordingly, it can provide the best disk access

performance.

Note

RAID0 does not have data redundancy. If a hard disk drive failure occurs, data cannot be

recovered.

(2) RAID1

In RAID1 level, data saved in a hard disk drive is written to another hard disk drive without change. The mode is

called "mirroring".

When data is written onto a single hard disk drive, the same data is written onto another hard disk drive at the

same time. If either of the hard disk drives fails, the other hard disk drive containing the same data can

substitute for the failed hard disk drive. Thus the system can continue to operate without interruption.

Chapter 3 Setup

Turning Off the Workstation

Turn off the workstation by using the following procedure. If the power cord of the workstation is connected to a

UPS, refer to the documentation supplied with the UPS, or the documentation for the application controlling the

UPS.

Shut down the OS.

Turn off peripheral devices.

6. Power-Saving Mode

Express5800/53Xi, Y53Xi User's Guide

Chapter 3 Setup

6. Power-Saving Mode

If the ACPI compliant operating system is installed in your system, pressing POWER/SLEEP Switch can save

almost all power of the workstation (standby mode).

To use the power-saving mode, choose [Standby] in the Shutdown menu of Windows or change the setting for

POWER/SLEEP Switch from Power-off to Standby.

In the power-saving mode, POWER/SLEEP LED lights amber and the workstation retains the memory data and

the status of the previous operations. To resume the original state, press POWER/SLEEP Switch again.

Important

• Do not change hardware configuration while turning into the power-saving mode

or in the power-saving mode. Otherwise, you may fail to resume the original state.

• The onboard RAID controller (LSI Embedded MegaRAID) does not support

hibernate and standby states. If your workstation runs with the RAID system, do not let the system enter hibernation or standby mode.

Tips

Entering into the power-saving mode and returning to normal mode depends on setting on

OS. The operational level in the power-saving mode depends on the OS in use.
