Notes on System Configuration and Operation

Make sure to confirm the following points before configuring and operating the actual system.

Check the Shipped Status

Make sure to check the following points for shipped status of the server you purchased before
introducing it.
● Peripheral device connected to the hardware installed on the server
● System and server configuration

Check the Setup Procedure

For configuring the system, setup of the server is a requisite point. Make sure to consider
carefully which procedure for setup should be selected before setting up the server.
If unnecessary procedure is included or necessary procedure is omitted, not only the system
configuring schedule lags, but also the stable operation and function of the whole system
provided by the server cannot be fully realized.
1. Considering Operation Policy and Countermeasures for Failure
Operation policy, security and countermeasures for failure differ depending on function provided
by hardware of the server and the OS to be used.
Make sure to configure the system taking full advantage of functions provided by hardware and
software of the server described in "Features of the Server". It is recommended to consult the
maintenance service company or NEC sales representative for configuring the system.
2. Hardware Setup
Make sure to perform the setup procedure until the server can be powered On. Set up the server
in the same status as when the server is operating to start "System Setup" described in the next
page. Refer to the procedure in page 18 for details.
Hardware setup includes installing the rack, installing optional products, connecting peripheral
devices, and setting up internal parameters such as BIOS setting. Setting parameters to match
your environment is one of the important procedures to take advantage of functions linking with
the OS and the management software.
