Cpu Blade - NEC Express5800 series User Manual

CPU Blade

In the ordinary operation, no cables should be connected to a CPU blade. Proper cable(s) should be
connected to the USB, serial, and/or VGA ports on the CPU blade in the following cases:
Setup or reinstallation of operating system (in case of local installation)
Maintenance
The normal CPU blade can only be connected with the blade switching cable that comes with the
N8405-013F Blade Assembly Unit or separately-priced VGA/USB/Serial combo cable
K410-135(00). If an optional board is installed in the CPU blade and the optional board is connected
to a peripheral device, the additional cable appropriate for the connection is required. Route the
cable in the cable cover to prevent cables from getting entangled.
IMPORTANT:
cables through the left and right sides of the cable cover.
The VGA/USB/Serial combo cable has the USB, serial interface, and monitor connection
connectors at the other ends. Connect a proper device at each of the ends.
IMPORTANT:
To connect a peripheral or interface cable provided by a vendor
other than NEC (or third party) to the CPU blade, make sure that the
device is compatible with the CPU blade. Some third party devices
are not compatible with the CPU blade.
The serial port connector cannot be directly connected with the
exclusive line.
To insert or pull out the cable from the serial port, first turn off the
power of the unit and that of the destination device and pull out the
power cord from the destination device. Failure to follow it may
cause the devices to be defected due to the potential difference
between them.
If you are installing the CPU blade in N8405-013F Blade Assembly
Unit, follow instructions described in the User's Guide of the Blade
Assembly Unit.
