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.

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.

Anti-static Measures
The server contains static-sensitive components. Take the measures 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 generated (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 accesso ries.
• Handling of Components
− Keep the component in an anti-static bag until yo u 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 damage to the devices in the system. It is
recommended to use a product su ch as elect rostatic 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 devi ce 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 ca used by the static
electricity. To use the strap, connect the wire to the chassis.

PCI Card
This server provides PCI slots for riser card (one full-height PCI card and one low-profile PCI card), a slot for
LOM card, and a slot for RAID controller (total four PCI cards can be mounted).
Important
Avoid static electricity to work with the procedure below. For details, see
Chapter 2 (1.2 Anti-static Measures).
1.12.1
Notes
Read the following notes when installing or removing a PCI card.
• Do not touch the terminals of the riser cards and the leads of electronic components with your bare
hand. Fingerprints and dust left on them cause the server to malfunction due to a connection failure or
damage to the leads.
• Available type of PCI card depends on riser card. Make sure the card type before connecting it to riser
card.
• The server provides no connector to connect an LED connector which is supplied in RAID controller
used to indicate disk access.
• PCI slot number "1A" is assigned to the RAID controller slot, "1B" is assigned to LOM card sl ot, "1C" is
assi gned to the riser card for full-height PCI card, and "1D" is assi gned to the riser card for low-profile
PCI card.
• The search order for PCI bus slot on boot is as follows.
Slot 1A (for RAID controller) → Slot 1B (for LOM card) → Slot 1C (for full-height card) → Slot 1D (for
low-profile card)
• The PCI devices of the same type (incl uding onboard PCI device) may be recognized in different order
from those described above, depending on OS or RAID Configuration Utili ty. Check the slot location of
PCI device by PCI bus number, device number and function number shown in the table below.

RAID 10 4 4
RAID 50 6
RAID 60 6
• In the RAID syst em , all the hard disk drives in an array group must have the sam e capacity, interface type,
and rotational speed.
• EXPRESSBUILDER helps you to install the OS to a RAID array easily.
• If you want to install the OS manually, use RAID Configurat ion Utility at POST (Ctrl-R or H). For details,
see Chapter 2 (4. RAID System Configuration) in "Maintenance Guide" or the manual provided with the
optional RAID controller (N8103-176/177/178).
Important
• Do not change the mode to hibernat e while building a RAID syst em.
• Build a disk array in the RAID system using hard disk drives that have the
same specifications (capacity, rotati onal speed, and standard).

Bays for hard disk drives are provi ded at the front of the server.
A hard disk drive mounted in a dedicated drive tray can be purchased. Inst all the hard disk drive on the server
with it mounted in the drive tray.
Important
Use hard disk drives specified by NEC. Installing a third-par ty hard disk
drive mig ht cause a fai lure of the server as well as the hard disk drive.
Note the following precautions to install hard disk dri ves.
• For onboard connection, hard disk drives having different capacities, types, or rotational speeds cannot
be installed together.
• In the RAID system, all the hard disk drives in an array group must have the same capaci ty, type, and
rotational speed.
• If using hard disk drives in a RAID system, jumper settings or a change of cables may be required.
Bays can contai n up to eight hard disk drives.
Unique slot numbers have been assigned to each slot.

Replacing a hard disk drive in the RAID system (Auto Rebuild)
In the RAID system, you can use the auto rebuild feature to restore dat a back to the state before a failure
occurred.
The auto rebuild feature is enabled in logical drives set to RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50, and
RAID60.
The disk array is automatically rebuilt when hot swapping (replacing a hard disk drive while the power on) a
failed hard disk drive.
During the auto rebuild, DISK LEDs 1 and 2 on the hard disk drive blink green and amber respectively to
indicate that the auto rebuild i s being performed.
Observe the following precautions whenever executing the auto rebuild.
• Do not turn off the server until the auto build 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, DISK
LEDs 1 and 2 on the hard disk drive blink green and amber resp ectively).

Power Supply Unit
This server can co ntain two power supply units. The server provides a redundant power configuration that
ensures continued operation of the system in the unlikely event one of the power supply units fails.
Tips
AC power supply unit has a c able tie to prevent AC cable from slipping out.
1.17.1
Cold redundant feature
The server supports the feature to optimize power effici ency as described below:
• Cold redundant feature can run the system with optimum power efficiency by raising operating efficiency
of primary power supply unit and lowering that of redundant power supply unit in redundant power
configuration.
• If power efficiency of power units is not optimized due to system configuration, this feature is disabled
automatically.
Cold redundant feature can be used under the following conditions:
• Two power supply units must be installed for redundant configuration.
• See Chapter 2 (1. System BIOS) in "Maintenance Guide", change parameters as shown below, save the
settings and exit from SETUP.
Server → Power Control Configuration → Cold Redundant Mode → Enabled
Run SETUP again, and check if the status of Cold Redundant Mode shows Enabled in Server m enu.
