Chapter 7
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 disk drives of the
server on a regular basis. For backup storage devices suitable for the server and backup tools,
consult with your service representative.
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 RAID configuration data if your system is in the RAID
configuration. When your hard disk drives 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 RAID Controller board. Refer to the manual supplied with the board.
