Service Options
Toshiba offers a full line of service options built around its warranty programs. For
registration information refer to the warranty and service material included with the
server, or go to our web site at: http://www.support.toshiba.com.
Maintenance Contracts
Periodic maintenance and inspection is essential to keeping the server fully operational
and assuring its safe use. Toshiba recommends taking out a maintenance contract with
an authorized Toshiba Magnia service provider.
Cleaning the Server
If the server’s exterior case is dirty or stained, clean it with a soft cloth. If necessary,
moisten the cloth with water. Never use harsh chemicals to clean the server.
Setting Up Your Work Environment
You can work more comfortably and efficiently by thoughtfully organizing your work
space. Developing good work habits is the best way to avoid strain and stress to your
hands, back, neck and eyes.
TECHNICAL NOTE: This icon highlights technical information about the server.
HINT: This icon denotes helpful hints and tips.
DEFINITION: This icon indicates the definition of a term used in the text.
WARNING: Using the computer keyboard incorrectly may result in discomfort and
possible injury. If your hands, wrists, and/or arms bother you while typing, stop
using the computer and rest. If the discomfort persists, consult a physician.
Setting Up Your Work Environment 17
Developing Good Work Habits
The key to avoiding discomfort or injury from repetitive strain is to vary your activities. If
possible, schedule a variety of tasks into your working day. Finding ways to break up the
routine can reduce stress and improve your efficiency.
❖ Take pauses from typing.
❖ Take short breaks to change position, stretch your muscles, and rest your eyes. A two
or three minute break every half hour is more effective than one long break after
several hours.
❖ Stretch spontaneously throughout the day to reduce tension.
❖ Avoid performing repetitive activities for long periods. Intersperse repetitive activities
with other tasks.
❖ Look away from the computer every 15 minutes or so to reduce eye strain, and focus
your eyes on a distant object for 30 seconds.
Arranging Your Work Area
Carefully planned placement of your computer and desktop tools can help you avoid
stress-related injuries and help you work more efficiently. Adjusting the lighting can make
it easier to see your work and reduce eye strain.
❖ Place the keyboard on a flat surface, directly in front of you, at a comfortable distance.
When you use the keyboard, your arms and hands should be in a relaxed position
with your forearms parallel to the floor. You should be able to type without twisting
your body or neck.
❖ Place the monitor so that its top is at eye level. If you wear bifocal or progressive
lenses, position the monitor slightly lower.
❖ Set your paper holder at the same distance as the screen. If possible, adjust the
holder so that the paper is at the same height as the screen.
❖ Position the monitor so that sunlight or bright indoor lighting does not reflect off the
screen. Use tinted windows or shades to reduce glare.
❖ Adjust the screen to avoid reflections and glare.
❖ Avoid placing the monitor in front of a bright light that could shine directly in your eyes.
❖ If possible, use soft, indirect lighting in your computer work area.
Setting Up Your Work Environment 18
Seating and Posture
Correct posture and computer placement
When using the computer, sit comfortably. Proper seating is a primary factor in reducing
strain.
❖ Position your chair so that the keyboard is at or slightly below the level of your elbow.
You should be able to type comfortably with your shoulders relaxed.
❖ Position your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. If necessary, use a
footrest to raise the level of your knees and ease the pressure on the back of your
thighs.
❖ Adjust the back of your chair so that it supports the lower curve of your spine. If
necessary, use a cushion to provide extra back support.
❖ Sit with your back straight so that your knees, hips and elbows form approximately
90-degree angles when you work. Do not slump forward or lean back too far.
Using Your Arms and Wrists
Regular attention to your work habits can make your time at the computer more
productive.
❖ Keep your wrists straight while typing. If necessary, adjust the keyboard and chair
height to keep wrists straight.
❖ Avoid resting on your wrists while typing.
❖ Use a light touch on the keys and mouse.
❖ Avoid bending, arching, or twisting your wrists. Keep them in a relaxed, neutral
position while typing.
❖ Exercise your hands, wrists and arms several times during the day to improve
circulation.

❖ Never install the server in any of the following places:
- Where it will be exposed to direct sunlight
- Where it will be exposed to vibration or shock
- Near any devices that generate a strong magnetic field or produce radio
frequency noise such as a radio, TV, large motor or loudspeaker
- Where the temperature and humidity change constantly; for example, near an airconditioning vent, fan, heater or heat source
- Near liquids or corrosive chemicals
If debris or liquid gets in the server, shut it down immediately by turning the power button
Off
and unplugging the power cable from the AC outlet. Do not turn the server back on.
Contact an authorized Toshiba Magnia service provider immediately.
Operate the server under the following temperature and humidity conditions:
Ambient temperature:
The operating temperature of the server, when installed in an equipment rack,
must not go below 5 °C (41 °F) or rise above 32 °C (89 °F).
Relative humidity:
30% to 80% Rh (no condensation)
Ventilation:
The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front of the server to
maintain proper cooling. It must also include ventilation sufficient to exhaust a
maximum of 1,500 BTU per hour for each server. The rack selected and the
ventilation provided must be suitable to the environment in which the server is
used.
To avoid damage from condensation when the room temperature is too high or too low,
wait about an hour before turning the server on. The delay allows the server to adjust to
the ambient room conditions.
CAUTION: Avoid exposing the server to condensation during use and storage.
Condensation can corrode server components and short-circuit its electrical circuits
if the unit is on.
Getting Started Power Requirements 21
Environmental Considerations for Rack Mount Models
In addition to the general environmental considerations, keep these additional points in
mind:
❖ Use the optional Toshiba rack and rack mounting kit to install a rack model server.
❖ Provide sufficient airflow to the server to maintain proper cooling. Allow 51 inches
(130 cm) of clearance in front of, and 24 inches (60 cm) behind the rack.
For more information on environmental considerations for a rack-mounted server, see
Environmental Considerations on page 34 and Selecting a Location for the Server in the
Rack on page 36.
Power Requirements
The power supply unit has maximum current ratings of 4.6 amperes with input voltages
of 100-200 volts (at 50/60 Hz), or 2.3 amperes with input voltages of 200-240 volts (at 50/
60 Hz), with 10 amp over-current protective circuits.
Before plugging the power cable into a wall outlet, make sure that the AC power source
and the over-current protector (circuit breaker current rating) are sufficient to handle the
requirements of the server and its connected peripheral devices.
The current rating of the server is 4 amps. To ensure a continuous supply of power to the
server, Toshiba recommends the use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
If you have questions about the wiring of your AC power source, consult an authorized
Toshiba Magnia service provider.
NOTE: Installing a Toshiba Magnia 3135R in a rack requires special knowledge and
skills. Toshiba recommends that you contact an authorized Toshiba Magnia service
provider.
WARNING: To ensure proper grounding of the server and avoid a possible fire
hazard, use the power cable provided with the server.
