Chapter 2

System Safety

This chapter provides information on warnings, precautions, and system
safety.

Important: Please thoroughly familiarize yourself with all safety

precautions.

Warnings and Precautions

You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was
damaged in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, file a damage
claim with carrier who delivered your system.

Decide on a suitable location for the NDX Tower. It should be situated in
a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat,
electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated.

You will also need it placed near at least one grounded power outlet.
The Quantum NDX NAS Tower includes one power supply.

Chapter 2: System Safety
Electrical Safety Precautions

4 Quantum NDX NAS Tower User’s Guide

Electrical Safety Precautions

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself
from harm and the Quantum NDX NAS Tower from damage:

• Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis
as well as the room’s emergency power-off switch, disconnection
switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can
then quickly remove power from the system.

• Do not work alone when working with high-voltage components.•

• Power should always be disconnected from the system when
removing or installing main system components, such as the server
board, memory modules or option peripherals like a DVD-ROM (not
necessary for hot swappable drives). When disconnecting power,
you should first power down the system with the operating system
and then unplug the power cords from all the power supply
modules in the system.

• When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person
who is familiar with the power-off controls should be nearby to
switch off the power, if necessary.

• Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical
equipment. This is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will
cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools,
which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards
they come into contact with.

• Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as
protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have
been specifically designed as electrical insulators.

• The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and
must be plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

• Server board battery:

Chapter 2: System Safety

General Safety Precautions

Quantum NDX NAS Tower User’s Guide 5

Caution: There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is

installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities
This battery must be replaced only with the same or an
equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

• Please handle used batteries carefully. Do not damage the battery in
any way; a damaged battery may release hazardous materials into
the environment. Do not discard a used battery in the garbage or a
public landfill. Please comply with the regulations set up by your
local hazardous waste management agency to dispose of your used
battery properly.

General Safety Precautions

• Keep the area around the chassis clean and free of clutter.

• Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have
been removed away from the system or on a table so that they
won’t accidentally be stepped on.

• While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as
neckties and unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact
with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.

• Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are
excellent metal conductors that can create short circuits and harm
you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas
where power is present.

• After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up
and secure it to the rack unit with the retention screws after
ensuring that all connections have been made.

Chapter 2: System Safety
System Safety

6 Quantum NDX NAS Tower User’s Guide

System Safety

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different
electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical
discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage
electronic components and printed circuit boards. The following
measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before
contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:

• Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as
protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have
been specifically designed as electrical insulators.

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their
antistatic bags until ready for use.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its
antistatic bag.

• Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your
clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist
strap.

• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components,
peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.•

• Put the server board and peripherals back into their antistatic bags
when not in use.

• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides
excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the
mounting fasteners and the server board.

This chapter describes initial setup, buttons, and LEDs on the Quantum
NDX NAS Tower front chassis panel, and provides procedures for first
use, connecting to ethernet, and correcting an overheat/fan fail
condition.

Initial Setup

First Use When you first use the Quantum NDX NAS Tower, connect the unit to a

keyboard, monitor, and mouse, and proceed with several Microsoft
Windows setup wizards. This is a requirement for initial setup only.

Connecting to Ethernet The Quantum NDX NAS Tower comes with three RJ45 ports (see Figure 2

on page 10). Two are ethernet ports positioned together. Connect the
NDX NAS to your network using these two ports.

Chapter 3: Initial Setup and System Interface
Hardware Overview

8 Quantum NDX NAS Tower User’s Guide

The third RJ45 port is for IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management
Interface). This port is used or system monitoring, troubleshooting and
technical support.

Hardware Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the drive
carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the
system as well as the activity and health of specific components.
Quantum NDX NAS Tower models have two buttons on the chassis
control panel: a reset button and a power on/off switch. This chapter
explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate
response you may need to take.
