Hard disk drive (HDD)
The disk light flashes green while the disk drive is reading or writing data. Refer to
“System indicator lights
” on page 20 for information on the disk activity indicators.
When the server is turned off, the hard disk drive head automatically retracts and
continues spinning. Wait 30 seconds for the drive head to stop spinning before removing
the hard disk drive.
CAUTION: Installing or replacing the HDD requires special skills and knowledge.
Toshiba recommends that instead of replacing the hard disk drive yourself, you
contact an authorized service provider to do it for you. While the system is running,
an error in the course of installing or replacing it could cause failures and
destruction or loss of important programs and data.
Avoid exposing the server to shock or vibration while the power is on. Even if the
light is off, the hard disk drive head stays in the data area while the disk is spinning.

General maintenance
Care of the server
❖ If the server is dusty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. If it is very dirty, wipe it lightly
with a damp cloth.
❖ Avoid exposing the server to chemicals such as benzine, paint thinner and
insecticide, which could damage or discolor the case.
❖ To prevent system malfunctions, avoid exposing the server to shock or vibration.
Care of the mouse
If the mouse is used for a long period of time, dust ma y adhere to the ball, making the
mouse pointer action sluggish or erratic.
Clean the mouse periodically:
1 Turn off the server.
2 Rotate the cover on the bottom of the mouse in the direction of the arrow
(counterclockwise), remove the cover, then remove the ball.
3 Using a dry cloth, remove any foreign matter adhering to the rollers inside the
mouse.
4 Wash the ball with tap water or a neutral detergent.
5 Dry the ball and place it back in the mouse.

to the arrows (clockwise) until it clicks into its locked position.
Care of the keyboard
If the keyboard is dusty, wipe it clean with a dry, soft cloth.
Keyboard comfort
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.
Developing good work habits
The key to avoiding discomfort or injury from repetitive strain is to vary your activities. If
possible, schedule a v ariety of tasks into your working da y. Finding ways to break up the
routine can reduce stress and improve y our efficiency.
❖ Take recovery pauses from typing.
❖ Take short breaks to change position, stretch your muscles, and rest y our ey es . 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.
❖ To reduce eye str ain, look away from the computer ev ery 15 minutes or so , and focus
your eyes on a distant object for 30 seconds.
CAUTION: 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.

Arranging your work area
Carefully planned placement of your computer and desktop tools can help you avoid
stress-related injuries and make working more efficient. Adjusting the lighting can make it
easier to see your work and reduce eye strain.
❖ Place the keyboard on a flat surf ace, directly in front of y ou, 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 (lower for bifocal or progressives
wearers).
❖ Adjust the screen to avoid reflections and glare.
❖ 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.
❖ Av oid placing the monitor in front of a bright light that could shine directly in your ey es.
❖ If possible, use soft, indirect lighting in your computer work area.
Seating and posture
Correct posture and computer placement
When using the computer, sit comfortably. Proper seating is one of the primary factors in
reducing work 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.
❖ Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. If necessary, use a foot rest 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.
Getting Started Keyboard comf ort 28
❖ Sit with your back straight so that your knees, hips and elbows approximately form
90-degrees angles when you work. Do not slump forward or lean back too far.
Using your arms and wrists
❖ 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, neutra l
position while typing.
❖ Exercise your hands, wrists and arms several times during the day to improve
circulation.
Regular attention to your work habits can make your time at the computer more
productive.
