Express5800/R120f-1E User’s Guide

Handling precautions (for proper operations)

Be sure to observe the following precautions for the proper functioning of the server. Ignoring the precauti ons may cause server malfunction or failure.

• Do not use any cell phone or PHS and switch off them near the server. Electric waves from such

devices can cause server to malfunction.

• Install the server in an appropriate place. For details about the installation location, see 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, if they are non plug-and-play devices.

• 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 connecting power cord to power outlet after disconnecting it.

• If any Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) unit is connected, set it to wait for at least 30 seconds

before turning on the server after power off.

• Do not press the POWER switch to turn on the server before the STATUS LED 2 (amber) is unlit.

• Wait for at least 30 seconds before turning on the server after turning off the server.

• Turn off the server and unplug the power cord before moving it.

• Regularly clean the server to prevent various types of failure. See Chapter 1 Maintenance (2. Daily

Maintenance) in "Maintenance Guide" for details.

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

recommended.

• Any copy-protected CD that does not conform to standards is not supported.

• In the following cases, check and adjust the system clock before operation.

− After transportation

− After storage

− After the server is used following a period of disuse, in which storage conditions di d not conform to those

that guarantee server operations (temperature: 10 to 40°C; humidity: 20% to 80%).

• 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:

−10°C to 55°C, Humidity: 20% to 80%, No

condensation of moisture) to store the server.

• Do not power off or reset the server, nor disconnect the power cord before POST completes.

• 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.

Refer ence: Time effective at avoi ding 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. Even if they are successfully

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

Express5800/R120f-1E User’s Guide

Handling precautions (for anti-static measures)

The server contains static-sensitive components. Take the measu res below to avoid failures caused by static electricity when installing or removing any optional devices.

• 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

− Work on an anti-static floor or concrete floor.

− If you work on a place where st atic electricity is likely to be generat ed (such as carpet), be sure to

provide anti-static protection.

• Using the Work Table

Place the server on a mat with Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection.

• Clothing

− Do not wear wool or synthetic clothes.

− Wear anti-static shoes.

− Remove a ring, bracelet, wrist watch, and any kind of metal accessories.

• Handling of Components

− Keep the component in an anti-static bag until you install it to the server.

− 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 connecti ng a ca ble (a long LAN cable), static electricity may also be charged due to friction against the floor. Connecting the charged cable with a device will cause dam age to the devices in the system. It is recommended to use a product su ch as electrostatic discharge ki t to eliminate the static charge before connecting the cable.

• Installing and Uninstalling the Optional Device

− To avoid electric hazard and malfunction, be sure to turn off the power switch of the server and unplug

the power cord from the outlet before installing or uninstalling any optional device.

− If the device is a hot-plug devi ce, you do not need to turn off the power switch.

− The device contains static-sensitive electronic components. When installing or uninstalling the optional

device, wear an anti-static wrist strap on your wrist to avoid a failure caused by the static electricity. To

use the strap, connect the wire to the chassis.

Using a c omputer extens ively may affect dif ferent parts of your body. H ere are tips you should follow while workin g on

a computer to minimize strain on your body.

Keep proper posture

The basic body position f or using a computer is sitting straight with

your hands on the keyboar d parallel with the floor, and your eyes

directed slightly downward toward the moni tor. W ith the pr oper

postu re described above, no unnecessary strain is applied on any

part of your body, in other words when your muscles ar e most

relaxed.

W orking on the computer with bad posture suc h as hunching over or

being too close to the monitor could caus e fatigue or deteriorated

eyesight.

Adjust the angle of your display

Most display units are designed for adjustment of the horizont al 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 comfort able angle

makes it difficult for you to maintain a pr oper 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 contr ol brightness and c ontrast.

The most suitable brightness/contrast depends on age, individuals,

and envir onment, so adjust it to s uit your pr eferences. A too bright

or too dark display is bad f or your eyes.

Adjust the angle of keyboard

Some keyboards are ergonomic ally designed, which allow the angle

to be adjusted. Adjusting th e angle of the keyboard is effect ive to

reduce tension on your shoulders, arms, and fingers.

Clean your equipment

Keeping your equipment clean is imp ortant not only for the appearance but also for function al an d s af ety reas ons. A

dusty monitor makes it difficult to s ee the display contents, s o clean it regularly.

Take rest breaks

When you feel tired, take a break

. Light exercise is also

recommended.
