1-8 Notes on Using the Server

FOR PROPER OPERATION

Observe the following notes for successful operation of the NEC Express server. Use of the NEC
Express server ignoring the notes will cause malfunctions or failures of the server.
Install the NEC Express server in a place that meets requirements for successful operation.
!
For details, see Chapter 2, "Setting Up the Server."
Do not delete the hard disk partition exclusively provided for maintenance of the NEC
!
Express server although it may appear on the OS.
Make sure to power off the NEC Express server before connecting or disconnecting
!
cables between the server and peripheral devices.
Verify that the access lamp on the NEC Express server is unlit before turning off the
!
server or ejecting the floppy disk.
Do not turn on the server after plugging the power cord.
!
Do not turn off the server until the "NEC" logo and the some characters appear on the
!
screen.
When you have just turned off the NEC Express server, wait at least 30 seconds before
!
turning it back on.
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the outlet before relocating the NEC
!
Express server.
You may use a software command to eject the tray or a media from the CD-ROM drive or
!
an optional device, for example a DAT, installed in the 5.25-inch device bay, respectively.
Make sure that the front door is open before ejecting the tray or media with a software
command. Running the command when the front door is closed will cause the tray or
media to hit against the front door, which may cause a hardware failure of the NEC
Express server as well as a software error.
Clean the NEC Express server on a regular basis. (See Chapter 5 for cleaning.)
!
Regular cleaning proactively prevents various failures of the server.
Lightning may cause a momentary voltage drop. To prevent this problem, it is
!
recommended to use an uninterruptible power supply unit.
Make sure to use optional devices supported by the NEC Express server. Some
!
non-supported devices may be physically installed/connected but cause failures of the
server as well as a malfunction of the server.
NEC recommends you use NEC's genuine products. Some third-party products claim
!
that they support the NEC Express server. However, repair of the server due to a failure
or damage resulted from use of such third-party products will be charged.
