Maintenance
This chapter describes the daily maintenance of the server and precautions when relocating or
storing the server.

MAKING BACKUP COPIES

NEC recommends you make backup copies of your valuable data stored in hard disks of the server
on a regular basis. For backup storage devices suitable for the server and backup tools, consult
with your sales agent.
When you have changed the hardware configuration or BIOS configuration, select "System
Information Management" and then "Save" of the Off-line Maintenance Utility to make a backup
copy of the system information.
Also make a backup copy of the disk array configuration data if your system is in the array
configuration. When your hard disks have been auto-rebuilt due to a failure, it is recommended to
make a backup copy of the configuration data. To make a backup copy of the configuration data,
use the configuration utility that is resident in the FLASH memory on the optional disk array
controller board. Refer to the manual supplied with the board.
