Getting Started

This chapter describes how to set up the server to have it ready for use.

Checking the items included with the server

Check the items in the package against the attached check sheet. For the way to unpack the carton(s), refer to Quick Start Card included with the product. If any of them is missing or damaged, please contact the Toshiba dealer as soon as possible.

NOTE:The check sheet provides a listing of all standard accessories and their respective quantities. If you purchase the server with an optional internal device, the optional device also comes together with the standard accessories listed. In such a case, however, it is possible that the quantities of some accessories, e.g., brackets, do not agree with those specified on the list because they have already been used to fix the optional internal device. In contrast, if an expansion slot cover etc. has been removed from the server to install an optional device instead, the expansion slot cover removed comes with the server as an accessory. [Example] If you purchase the server with a built-in DAT deck, all accessories of the DAT deck also come with the server as additional accessories, while the device bay spacer which was removed from a 5.25-inch slot to install the DAT deck comes as an accessory.

Before plugging the power cable into a wall outlet, detach the server panels and make sure that all internal components are installed properly. See “Removing and replacing the server panels” on page 24.

Mounting optional internal devices

If you have purchased an optional internal device together with the server, install it before setting up the server. See “Mounting and removing optional devices”

If you feel it difficult to install an optional device yourself, always ask an authorized Magnia service provider to do it. (A service fee is charged for.)

Environmental considerations

Pedestal model/rack model

Install the server in a clean, dust-free and well-ventilated place.



Install the server on a level and steady surface.



Never install the server upside down.



Do not install the server in any of the following places:



Getting Started

- Place exposed to direct sunlight- Place susceptible to vibrations or shocks



- Near an apparatus which has strong magnetic force or produces radio



noise, for example, radio set, TV set, large motor or loudspeaker

- Place susceptible to large temperature or humidity variations, or near an



air-conditioner air vent, cooling fan, heater or heat source

- Near liquids or corrosive chemicals



WARNING: If any foreign matter, including water, goes into the server, perform the shutdown steps immediately, turn off the power switch, and unplug the power cable from the wall outlet. Operating the server as it is might cause a fire or an electric shock. If such trouble occurs, ask an authorized Magnia service provider for inspection.

NOTE: Do not turn the server back on before it has dried completely. If the server does not run normally after you turned it back on, contact an authorized Magnia service provider.

Use the server under the following temperature and humidity conditions.



- Ambient temperature:



50 to 95°F (10 to 35°C) (Pedestal model) 50 to 89°F (10 to 32°C) (Rack model)

- Ambient humidity: 30 to 80%Rh (No condensation)



NOTE: To avoid condensation when the room temperature is too high or too low, wait about one hour after the room temperature has fallen within a range of 50 to 95°F (10 to 35°C) before using the server.

Keep the server free from condensation during use and storage.

Pedestal model

Leave enough space around the server for Maintenance and ventilation.

2 inches (5 cm) or more

Getting Started

Environmental considerations

8 inches (20 cm) or more

Rack model

2 inches (5 cm) or more

12 inches (30 cm) or more

Minimum clearances required for the installation of a pedestal model

Installing a rack model requires special techniques and knowledge. So



instead of installing it yourself, ask an authorized Magnia service provider for it. (A service fee is charged for.)

Use optional Toshiba rack and rack mount kit to install a rack model.



Leave a clearance of more than 24 inches (60 cm) before and behind the



rack to ensure well ventilation for the server. Refer to “Magnia Series Rack Mount/Install Guide”.

Power requirements

The EPS and EPS-R cages of this system have 6.3 A and 10 A over-current protective circuits, respectively. Before plugging the power cable to a wall outlet, especially if your server is a rack model, make sure of the capacity of the power supply (current rating of the wall outlet) and that of the over-current protector (current rating of the circuit breaker). Whenever you have a question about wiring etc., consult an authorized Magnia service provider.

The server has a current rating of either 3.6 A (EPS models) or

4.0 A (EPS-R models).

To ground the server securely, always use the supplied power cable. For wiring in the rack, use an optional AC multi-tap recommended by Toshiba.

WARNING: Do not use any power cable other than the supplied one. The use of an improper power cable might result in a fire.

Getting Started

Power requirements

Do not use any optional part other than the Toshiba genuine parts or parts recommended by Toshiba. The use of a part other than the Toshiba genuine or recommended parts might result in a fire. For optionally-available parts and devices, contact an authorized Magnia service provider.

NOTE: For both pedestal and rack models, it is recommended to use an uninterruptive power supply (UPS).

The Fault lamp indicates the occurrence of a failure in the EPS-R cage or cooling fan unit only. Each hard disk drive has a lamp which indicates its operation status.

NOTE: Even if one module of the redundant cooling fan unit or EPS-R cage fails, the other modules keep operating so that the system will not shut down. (Downgraded operation) However, if two or more modules of the redundant cooling fan unit or EPS-R cage fail, important data and programs might be lost or corrupted. To avoid this, ask for repair as soon as possible. Prolonged downgraded operation could shorten service life of each system component, depending on the temperature and installation conditions.

Lamp indication of the Auto Shutdown function

The Auto Shutdown function is enabled only when the Auto SD/Remote lamp (LED)( ) on the front panel is lit green. When the Auto SD/Remote lamp ( ) is lit amber or off, make sure that the following conditions are satisfied.

Getting Started

Front view (with the front doors opened)

NOTE: When a Status lamp is lit amber, the corresponding hard disk drive may be faulty. If it is found to be defective, replace it. If your system has a built-in RAID controller, you can replace the faulty drive without interrupting the system operation. Shock and vibration might damage hard disk drives, causing the loss or corruption of the data and programs recorded on them. So always handle them carefully.

Installing and replacing a hard disk drive requires special techniques and knowledge. So instead of installing or replacing it yourself, ask an authorized Magnia service provider for it.

An error committed during installation or replacement, especially when the system is running, might result in a system failure and/or the corruption or loss of important data and programs.

Keep hard disk drives free from shock and vibration, especially when they are on. Even if the Status lamp is off, its magnetic head remains in the data area and, if a shock is given, it might destruct the data area.

When the server is switched off, the magnetic head of each hard disk drive automatically retracts. Note that it takes about 30 seconds for a hard disk drive to stop completely.

Don’t share the power supply of an AC outlet with any electric appliance that consumes high electric power or generates electric noise such as an air conditioner or photocopier.

Switching On the Server

NOTE: When turning on the server again, turn on the power switch (and the DC operate switch on the back of the server for the EPS-R model) at least 10 seconds after the power switch (and the DC operate switch) was last turned off. If the server is switched on again within 10 seconds after it was switched off last, it may cause malfunction of the server or trouble with it.

Turning on the server in the usual process

Turn on the server according to the following procedure.

1 Check to see if all of the peripheral devices such as a display, keyboard,

mouse, etc. are correctly connected with the server.

2 Check to see if the power cables of the external units are connected with AC

outlets with the earth line or an uninterruptive power supply (UPS).

Getting Started

Switching On the Server

Turning on the server by the “Wake On LAN” function

This server has the “Wak e On L AN ” function that the server can be started up by a client who is in connection with the network interface card.

Setting up the server

The server has a jumper switch to enable or disable the “Wake O n L AN” function on the mother board. This jumper switch is initially set at the disabling position on shipment of the server. See “Appendix C: Enabling/disabling the Wake On LAN feature on page 218.

Power On Self-Test (POST)

When the power switch on the front panel is pressed after the DC operate switch on the back of the server was turned on (DC operate switch is mounted only in the EPS-R model), the server is turned on and the “POST (Power On Self-Test)” (self-diagnosing function) is automatically executed. The mother board, microprocessor, memory, keyboard and some of the peripheral devices are automatically checked by the POST. During the memory test, the storage capacity of the memory that is accessed and tested by the POST is shown on the display. The following message appears on the display depending on the setup status of the system.

Press F2 to enter SETUP

If the <F2> key is pressed following the message, the BIOS setup utility is started up. If the <F2> key is not pressed ignoring the message, the system continues the startup operation.

Getting Started

Power On Self-Test (POST)

If an error is detected by the POST, the operator is warned about it in one of the two different ways depending on the kind of the error; one is by buzzer sound (beep code) in mid course of testing and the other is by an error code and error message appearing on the display after the POST is complete.

Starting Up the System

The “Toshiba Server Setup Tool” is used for almost all of setup jobs for this system such as for installing the operating system (OS) in the server, for making backup floppy disks and so on. The “Toshiba Server Setup Tool” comprises of the “Toshiba Server Setup Tool CD-ROM” and “Startup Disk”, and the latter (Startup Disk) is used to start up the server. Besides the hard disk drive and floppy disk drive, the CD-ROM drive can be used to start up the server if the CD-ROM that is capable of starting it up is installed in the drive.

Starting up with the floppy disk

For starting up the server with the floppy disk, follow the procedure mentioned below.

1 Set the startup disk in the disk drive.

2 Turn on the power switch.

Getting Started

Starting Up the System

Starting up by the hard disk drive unit (in the case the OS has been installed)

For starting up the server by the hard disk drive unit, follow the procedure mentioned below.

1 Make sure that neither floppy disk nor CD-ROM that is capable of starting

up the server is not set in each drive unit.

2 Turn on the power switch.

NOTE: The CD-ROM can be ejected from the CD-ROM drive unit only when the system is turned on. Remove the CD-ROM from the drive unit before turning off the system without fail. When you doubt whether there is a CD-ROM set in the drive unit or not, you can check it by pressing the eject button of the CD-ROM drive unit while the power-on self test is being performed after the power switch is turned on. If the CD-ROM for starting up the server is set in the CD-ROM drive unit, startup operation by the hard disk drive unit results in failure even if the CDROM is ejected after the system is turned on.

Starting up by the CD-ROM drive unit

For starting up the server by the CD-ROM drive unit, follow the procedure mentioned below.

1 Make sure that no floppy disk is set in the disk drive.

2 Turn on the power switch.

3 Immediately after turning on the power switch, press the eject button of the

CD-ROM drive unit and set the CD-ROM capable of starting up the server in the drive.

NOTE: The CD-ROM can be ejected from the CD-ROM drive unit only when the system is turned on. For starting up the server by the CD-ROM drive unit, it is required to set the startup CD-ROM in the drive before the Onboard SCSI Controller BIOS setup menu appears as a series of the POST screen after the power switch is turned on. If the startup CD-ROM is set in the drive too late, restart up the server by pressing the <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete> keys together. After startup, once the CD-ROM is recognized, the hard disk drive is disabled from starting up the server even if the CD-ROM is ejected.

BIOS Setup

Initial system setting on shipment can be changed by the BIOS setup menu. The BIOS setup can be performed regardless of presence or absence of the operating system. Values entered by the BIOS setup are written in the CMOS and the flash memory, and reset values come into effect when the server is restarted. Those values are used as the reference for execution of the POST. If the entered values and actual hardware don’t correspond to each other, error message appears after the POST is complete. If this error occurs, change the setting by executing setup operation. For changing the setup, use the BIOS Setup Utility or the System Setup Utility (SSU).

Making Floppy Disks

The server setup support software “Toshiba Server Setup Tool” has the function to make backup floppy disks of data on the driver, utilities and so on used in this system. Make backup floppy disks depending on the situation, and carefully keep them for future use.

Getting Started

BIOS Setup

How to make a backup floppy disk

For making a backup floppy disk with the “Toshiba Server Setup Tool”, follow the procedure mentioned below referring to the instructions appearing on the display for details.

1 Set both the “Toshiba Server Setup Tool CD-ROM” and “Startup Disk

floppy disk” in the respective drives, and start the “Toshiba Server Setup Tool”.

2 Select “Utility”.

3 Select “Making FD”.

4 Select the name of the floppy disk to make and then select “OK”.

5 Set a 1.44MB formatted floppy disk in the disk drive and then select “OK”.

If the “Startup Disk” is set in the drive, remove it before setting a floppy disk.

For details of making a floppy disk: See “Toshiba Server Setup Tool User’s Guide”

Getting Started

Setup of System Configuration

If the system is used as it was configured at the factory, it was properly set up before shipment. However, if something optional is added to the system after shipment or it is desired to change the operating condition properly for use, it is required to set up the system once again. There are the following utilities prepared for setup of the system configuration. See “Chapter 3. System Configuration Setup” on page 105.

SSU (System Setup Utility)

The SSU is used to manage (setting up, saving data, printing) the hardware resources (memory address, I/O port, DMA channel, interrupt level, etc.) contained in the system.

When “Simple setup” is selected from the “Selection of hardware system configuration” menu of the Toshiba Server Setup Tool, it is not necessary to use the SSU for setting because a proper value is automatically set for every item by the “Simple setup”. When “Detailed setup” is selected from the menu, the SSU is activated.

Installation with the Toshiba Server Setup Tool: See “Toshiba Server Setup Tool User’s Guide”.

BIOS Setup Utility

The BIOS Setup Utility is used to set the hardware of this system. Some items can be set by either of the SSU (System Setup Utility) and BIOS Setup Utility.

Onboard SCSI Utility

The Onboard SCSI Utility is used to set the onboard SCSI units and onboard SCSI controller.

Setup of Disk Array (RAID)

When a RAID controller is installed in the system after purchase or it is built in the server before delivery, it is required to set the disk array (RAID). When “Simple setup” is selected from the “Selection of RAID configuration” during execution of the “Setup” of the Toshiba Server Setup Tool, the RAID controller utilities have no need of operation because the RAID is configured by minimum setting in this case. When “Detailed setup” or “No setup” is selected or the RAID is to be configured without use of the Toshiba Server Setup Tool, it is required to set up the RAID. See “RAID Controller User’s Guide”

If the operating system (OS) is installed in the server which a RAID controller is additionally built in, be sure to install the Power Console that is a RAID monitor and control utility and the Service after installation of the OS (for Windows NT/2000).

NOTE: When installing the Windows NT/2000 by the Toshiba Server Setup Tool, the Power Console and Service can be automatically installed after installation of the Windows NT/2000. For installation with the Toshiba Server Setup Tool: See “Tosh i ba S erv er S et up To ol U s er ’s Guide”

Switching Off the Server

The method to switch off the server varies depending on the operating system used. Depending on the operating system switch off the server by the normal method or the automatic shutdown function. Be sure to use only one method of the two mentioned above every time. If the two methods are mixed, the server may fail in the normal shutdown operation.

Normal shutdown

If no automatic shutdown function is installed in the operating system, switch off the server by the normal shutdown method according to the following procedure.

1 Prepare the server system for switching it off by the normal method.

Method to shut down the operating system See “Instructions of the operating system”

2 Press the power switch.

Getting Started

Switching Off the Server

Hold the power switch pressed until the Auto SD/remote indicator lamp ( ) starts blinking and the intermittent buzzer sound changes into a

Off

continuous sound. It takes about 4 seconds that the intermittent buzzer sound changes into the continuous sound. If the power switch is released from depressing before the intermittent sound changes into the continuous sound, the shutdown operation is disturbed in the middle of the process and the server resultingly fails in shutdown.

NOTE: If the server is switched on by the Wake On LAN function once and it is switched off before loading of the LAN driver on the Windows NT, the Wake On LAN function may fail in switching on the server next time. If this trouble occurs, disconnect the power cable from the AC outlet once, and then supply the power to the server again.

Getting Started

Switching Off the Server

Using the automatic shutdown function

The automatic shutdown function is usable only when the server runs on the Windows NT/2000 operating system. If the power switch is pressed on another operating system, the server is immediately switched off without preliminary process necessary for shutdown. In the case the exclusive automatic shutdown software is not installed in the Windows NT/2000 operating system, no automatic shutdown operation is executed and the server is switched off without preliminary process as the power switch is pressed. When the automatic shutdown function is not used, be sure to execute preliminary process required for quitting the operation system before pressing the power switch.

Switch off the server by the automatic shutdown function according to the following procedure.

1 Execute the specified quitting process for the application software running

on the operating system.

Be sure to save the data used on the application software before quitting.

NOTE: As the server is switched off by the automatic shutdown function, the application software currently in use is forcibly exited and unsaved data is deleted. The program that is not exited normally falls into a log error or Dr. Watson error.

2 Press the power switch to stop the server operation.

Hold the power switch pressed until the Auto SD/remote indicator lamp ( ) starts blinking and the intermittent buzzer sound changes into a

Off

3 Make sure that the power indicator lamp ( ) lights amber and the server

stops normally.

If the server fails in the normal stop operation, execute the forced stopping operation. See “Abnormal system shutdown” on page 50.

Notes on use of the automatic shutdown function

Hints on operation of the power switch

If the power switch is operated during operation of the operating system or shutdown operation or the power switch is operated in a wrong way, it may cause malfunction of the server. Follow the instructions mentioned below for securing steady operation of the system.

When starting up the operating system, don’t operate the power switch until



the log-on dialog “Wel c o me ” appears on the screen following the “Selec- tion of operating system” menu of the Windows NT/2000.

After the shutdown operation starts, don’t operate the power switch until the



“It is now safe to turn off your computer” dialog appears on the screen.

After the “Restart” command is selected, don’t operate the power switch.



Don’t repeat to press the power switch without intervals.



Getting Started

Logon by a user without shutdown rights

If the server is logged on by a user having no right to shut it down such as a user entered in the “Guest” of a default setting on installation or a user registered by the systen administrator, the automatic shutdown function with the power switch is disabled. If this operation is once performed, the automatic shutdown function with the power switch becomes ineffectual. If the server comes into this status, again log on the server by the name of the systen administrator and then carry out the normal manual shutdown operation and cut off the power. The automatic shutdown function recovers as the system is restarted. If there is a possibility that the server comes into that trouble, avoid it by the following ways.

Operate the power switch after log-off operation.



Prohibit the “Guest” from log-on or let all users including those of “Guest”



have the right to shut down the server.

The application in operation

Differently from the case of the normal shutdown, the application in operation is forcibly exited by the shutdown operation with the power switch. When shutting down the server in this way, pay heed to the data under editing because it is not saved after shutdown.

Getting Started

Switching Off the Server

Load to the system

If the server is shut down by the power switch operation as the system is loaded high, the shutdown operation does not start immediately after the power switch is released from depressing when the intermittent buzzer sound changes into the continuous sound. Though the waiting time depends on the degree of the load to the system, it occasionally takes 30 seconds to 1 minute to start the shutdown operation. Wait for a while in this case.

Turning off the power by means of the shortcut switch

The shortcut switch allows you to enable the program that has commands for shutting down the system.

Abnormal system shutdown

If shutdown of the server is not carried out normally, the system can be stopped forcedly. However, this operation deletes unsaved data. To shut down the system forcedly, perform the following operation.

While holding the reset switch in, press the power switch.

Installing and Removing Hardware

Methods to install and remove optional devices are explained in this chapter.

Installing and Removing Optional Devices

Install any optional device before setting up the server.

Before starting operation

WARNING: When installing an optional device, be sure to use Toshiba’s genuine parts or recommended parts. If any other device is used, it may cause a breakout of fire. About details of optional devices, consult an authorized Magnia service provider.

Don’t touch any part irrelevant to the installation work. Since there are many high tension parts, it may cause an electric shock.

Be very careful not to drop removed screws in the equipment through installation work of a peripheral unit according to the instructions. Tightly fasten every screw. If a screw drops inside the equipment, it may cause a fire or smoke.

CAUTION: When installing/removing an optional device, put on gloves without fail. Gloves protect your hands from getting hurt, because there are many sharppointed or -edged projections on the board of an option and inside of the server.

Installing and Removing Hardware

Installing and Removing Optional Devices

NOTE: When installing an optional device by yourself, follow the instructions of the optional device.

Disconnect the power cable from the server before installing or removing an optional device.

Carefully read the instructions of respective optional devices before starting the installing/removing work, because matters that require attention vary by optional devices.

Proceed to the installing/removing work in a place where the humidity is low, dust is little and the equipment is not directly exposed to the sun.

The installation or removal of an optional device should be carried out at ambient temperature of 50 to 95°F (10 to 35°C) for pedestal models or 50 to 89°F (10 to 32°C) for rack models and at ambient humidity of 30 to 80%. Avoid a place where the temperature may change sharply, because it causes the equipment to get condensation inside.

Don’t install/remove an optional device in a static-inducing environment (on a carpet, for example). Electronic parts easily become out of order if they are exposed to electrostatic discharge.

Proceed with the installing/removing process in the correct order.

There are a few kinds of screws used or to be used. Restore the screw that was once removed to its original position.

When the system falls into malfunction or failure, consult with our authorized Magnia service provider.

After the installing/removing work is complete, fit the server with the panels without fail before switching it on.

When using a screwdriver for connecting a connector or installing an expansionexpansion cards, be sure to use a screwdriver proper to the screw to tighten. Use of an improper screwdriver may break the cross socket on the screw head.

Installing and Removing Optional Devices

Screw head and screwdriver

NOTE: Some optional devices need to remove the cable and the like for installing and removing them. In this case, check the relative position between the unit and cables before disconnecting the cables for reference to avoid making a mistake in connecting them again.

When connecting a cable to the server, pay careful attention to the shape of the connector. If a wrong connector is forcibly connected, it may bend or damage the connector pins. If the cable connector has thumb screws for fastening, tighten them to secure the connection.

Carefully handle options whose boards are not covered such as expansion cards and so on because they are easily affected by static electricity. When holding an option whose board is exposed, hold it by the part other than the edge (gold-plated part) without touching any component part.

After taking a device out of the antistatic package, put it horizontally with the components side up on a grounded plane free from static electricity. After taking out a device, keep the antistatic packing case for future use. Don’t slide the server for relocation.

The user is not permitted to remove the server from the rack. If it is hard to install/remove an optional device as the server is mounted on the rack, ask an authorized Magnia service provider to do the work (A service fee is charged for).

Special knowledge and technique are required for installing an optional device to the server of the rack model. If you have no experience in installing an option to the rack model or you consider the job difficult, consult with an authorized Magnia service provider about installation (A service fee is charged for).

Installing and Removing Optional Devices

Sliding the server out of or into the rack

For installing an optional device to the server of the rack model, follow the instructions mentioned below in addition to the cautions appearing in this chapter.

WARNING: Don’t slide the server and another unit such as an extension disk unit out of the rack at the same time. If two or more units are slid out of the rack, the rack becomes unstable and it may topple down and may hurt neighboring persons.

Don’t put any weight on the server slid out of the rack or don’t apply an exces- sive load to it continuously, because such a load may cause the rail to be damaged or the rack to be unstable. If the rack topples down, neighboring persons may be injured.

For working on the higher part of the rack, don’t put a ladder directly on the rack or the server to prevent the rail, rack and server from getting damaged or unstable. If the rack topples down, neighboring persons may be injured.

For working on the higher part of the rack, don’t climb up on a chair with casters or the like for a stool, because it is not only unstable but may cause an injury to the person on it if he falls down on the floor.

NOTE: Before sliding the server out of the rack, check to see if no cable connected to its back disturbs the sliding mechanism.

To continue the installing/removing job as the server is slid out of the rack, slide the server frontwards until it is secured by the lock on the rail.

If another system or an extension disk unit is installed in the rack besides the server, be careful not to touch the eject lever of the hard disk drive mounted in another system or the power switch of another system through the mechanism.

Sliding the server (rack model) out of the rack

See “Installation Guide for MAGNIA-series Rack Models”

1 If there is an external device connected to the server, check the length of the

cable whether it is enough for sliding or not.

If the cable is too short to slide the server, disconnect it beforehand to avoid unexpected disconnecting during sliding.

10 Connect the power cable of the server to the AC outlet and switch on the

server. For the EPS-R model, switch on the server after turning on the DC operate switch.

NOTE: Don’t hold a memory module by the part of the connecting terminal. If the part of the connecting terminal is touched by hand, it may cause the memory module to be poor in contact.

Be careful not to insert an extension memory module in a wrong orientation. Wrong installation of a memory module may cause damage to the memory module or the memory slot.

Removing a memory module

Before starting the job to remove a memory module, carefully read “Before starting operation” of this chapter and proceed to the job following the procedure mentioned below.

Installing and Removing Hardware

Memory Module

1 If the server is in operation, shut it down first and cut off the power supply to

it.

2 For the EPS model, unplug the power cable from the AC outlet.

3 For the EPS-R model, turn off the DC operate switch on the back of the

server first and then unplug the power cable from the AC outlet.

NOTE: Removing a memory module while the server is still energized could cause damage to the server or the memory module.

4 Remove the panels from the server.

See “Removing and replacing the server panels” on page 24

5 Extend the hooks on both sides of the memory slot outwards and remove

the memory module out of the slot. When the hooks of the memory slot are extended outwards, the memory module occasionally springs out of the slot. Be sure to hold the memory module by hand through the removing work.

6 Fit the memory slot cover to the slot.

Restore the memory slot cover to the slot in the same manner as installing a memory module into the slot.

7 Fit the panels to the server.

8 Connect the server’s power cable to an AC outlet and switch on the server.

For the EPS-R model, switch on the server after turning on the DC operate switch.

CPU Module

The server is classified into 3 models that differ in the processing speed (600EMHz, 700 MHz, 800Hz) of the CPU from each other. If a CPU module that is the same in the processing speed as the standard CPU mounted in your server is additionally installed, the server is transformed into an upgraded version having two CPUs (in maximum). A CPU that is different in the processing speed from the standard one cannot be used for additional installation. There is a slot (No. 2 slot) for installing an extension CPU at the left side of the slot (No. 1 slot) for the standard CPU. To install a CPU with a different processing speed, it is necessary to remove and replace all current CPUs with others with the same processing speed.

Replacing the Internal Battery

This server has an internal battery to store the information on a timer and system configuration. In the ordinary operating environment, the battery life is approximately five years. The replacement of a battery requires special technology and knowledge. Toshiba recommends that you ask your authorized Magnia service provider to replace the internal battery (Replacement is charged for.)

CAUTION: Observe the following when handling a lithium battery. A lithium battery is used for the internal battery of the server. Be careful not to handle it incorrectly. This may cause heat generation, explosion, or firing.

Do not charge and disassemble a lithium battery and eliminate its electrode.

Do not heat and burn a lithium battery at 100°C or higher.

Do not moisten a battery with water.

Take care that children do not swallow a lithium battery.

Dispose of a lithium battery as required by local ordinances or regulations.

Install the polarity (+ and -) of a battery correctly. If you don’t, heat generation, explosion, or firing may be caused.

NOTE: System configuration information (set during setup) is lost when a battery is removed. After the battery is replaced, set again according to the system configuration information that was written down in advance. The internal battery that can be used for this server is a commercial CR2032 lithium battery.

Installing and Removing Hardware

Replacing the Internal Battery

Replace the battery in the procedure below referring to “Before starting operation” in Chapter 2.

1 Remove the server panels.

See “Removing and replacing the server panels” on page 24.

2 If an expansion card has been installed, remove it according to the proce-

dure.

SCSI Device

The installation of a SCSI device requires special knowledge or technology. If you have no experience in installing a SCSI device or if the job seems difficult, consult your authorized Magnia service provider. (A service fee is charged for.)

Up to maximum two SCSI bus-compatible SCSI devices can be installed in Device bays.

NOTE: A wide cable is connected with the on-board SCSI unit of this system. Therefore, an optionally-available SCSI conversion connector is needed to connect a SCSI device with a narrow connector. When connecting some SCSI devices to this system, it is necessary to change their settings. See Instruction manual for each SCSI device.

SCSI ID

The on-board SCSI controller and connector in which a SCSI device can be installed are only a 68-pin connector in channel B. The SCSI ID of the SCSI device to be installed is set so that it does not overlap with the SCSI ID of other devices installed. The channel SCSI ID of the previously installed device is as follows:

SCSI device (68 pins) (68 pins) SCSI controller 7 7 SAF-TE controller 6 HDD 0 - 5

To confirm and change the setting of an on-board SCSI See “Onboard SCSI Utility” on page 142.

NOTE: The SCSI IDs of the SCSI device installed and the internal hard disk drive can overlap because the connected SCSI controller differs.

Channel A Ultra2 WideChannel B Ultra Wide

Detecting the SCSI Device (SAF-TE)

SAF-TE communicates its status to a software agent resident in the server through a SCSI bus and then sends out an appropriate notification. The notification includes:

Detection of device presence, and



Status of a drive slot for insertion and removal.



Terminator

The internal SCSI bus is terminated at the SCSI controller and dedicated SCSI cable. Set the terminator of the installed SCSI device to disabled.

Removing the Device Bay Spacer

The device bay spacer is used to keep dust and dirt out of the Device bay.

Remove the device bay spacer in the procedure below referring to “Before starting operation” in Chapter 2.
