An alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or followed CAUTION: can result in data loss, data corruption, or damage to hardware or software. An alert that calls attention to essential information.
General operating safety To avoid bodily injury or damage to the server, follow these guidelines when you operate the server: • Only H3C authorized or professional server engineers are allowed to install, service, repair, operate, or upgrade the server. •...
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge The following are grounding methods that you can use to prevent electrostatic discharge: • Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. • Take adequate personal grounding measures, including wearing antistatic clothing and static dissipative shoes.
Connecting external cables Connecting monitors The server provides one DB15 VGA connector and two DP connectors on the rear panel for connecting monitors. • When DOS is used for interacting with the operating system, only one monitor will have a correct display if you connect more than one monitor to the server.
Figure 2 Connecting a DP connector Connecting an Ethernet cable Make sure the Ethernet cable type is as required. If you are replacing an Ethernet cable, make sure the new cable is the same type as the old cable. Verify the connectivity of the cable by using an Ethernet cable tester. Label the Ethernet cable by filling in the names and numbers of the server and the peer device on the label.
Figure 3 Connecting an Ethernet cable Verify network connectivity. After powering on the server, use a ping command to test the network connectivity. If the peer device is not reachable, verify that the Ethernet cable is correctly connected. Connecting the power cord Guidelines WARNING! To avoid bodily injury and device damage, use the power cord that came with the server.

Figure 4 Connecting the power cord to the server Connect the other end of the power cord to a power source, for example, a power strip on the rack.
Powering on and powering off the server Powering on the server Prerequisites Before powering on the server, you must complete the following tasks: • Install the server and internal components correctly. • Connect the server to a power source. Procedure Press the power on/off button on the front panel to power on the server.
Installing hardware options If you are installing multiple hardware options, read their installation procedures and identify similar steps to streamline the entire installation procedure. Installing drives Guidelines Follow these guidelines to install drives for the server: • You can install a maximum of five drives for the server. •...
