This product is designed and manufactured for standard applications. Such applications include, but are not limited to,
general office work, personal and home use, and general industrial use. The product is not intended for applications that
require extremely high levels of safety tobe guaranteed (referred to below as "safety-critical" applications). Use of the
product for a safety-critical application may present a significant risk of personal injury and/or death. Such applications
include, but are not limited to, nuclear reactor control, aircraft flight control, air traffic control, mass transit control, medical
life support, and missile launch control. Customers shall not use the product for a safety-critical application without
guaranteeing the required level of safety. Customers who plan to use the product in a safety-critical system are requested
to consult the Fujitsu sales representatives in charge.
Storage of accessories
Keep the accessories in a safe place because they are required for server operation.
Adding optional products
For stable operation of the PRIMEQUEST 2000 series server, use only a Fujitsu-certified optional product as an added
option.
Note that the PRIMEQUEST 2000 series server isnot guaranteed to operate with any optional product not certified by
Fujitsu.
Exportation/release of this product
Exportation/release of this product may require necessary procedures in accordance with the regulations of the Foreign
Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Law of Japan and/or US export control laws.
Maintenance
Only Fujitsu certified service engineers should perform the following tasks on this product and the
options provided by Fujitsu. Customers must not perform these tasks under any circumstances.
Otherwise, electric shock, injury, or fire may result.
- Newly installing or moving equipment
- Removing the front, rear, and side covers
- Installing and removing built-in options
- Connecting and disconnecting external interface cables

Note on erasing data from hard disks when disposing of the product or transferring it

Preface
viii
CA92344-0534-07
Disposing of this product or transferring it as is may enable third parties to access the data on the hard disk and use it for
unforeseen purposes. To prevent the leakage of confidential information and important data, all of the data on the hard
disk must be erased before disposal or transfer of the product.
However, it can be difficult to completely erase all of the data from the hard disk. Simply initializing (reformatting) the hard
disk or deleting files on the operating system is insufficient to erase the data, even though the data appears at a glance to
have been erased. This type of operation only makes it impossible to access the data from the operating system.
Malicious third parties can restore this data.
If you save your confidential information or other important data on the hard disk, you should completely erase the data,
instead of simply carrying out the aforementioned operation, to prevent the data from being restored. To prevent important
data on the hard disk from being leaked when the product is disposed of or transferred, you will need to take care to erase
all the data recorded on the hard disk on your own responsibility.
Furthermore, if a software license agreement restricts the transfer of the software (operating system and application
software) on the hard disk in the server or other product to a third party, transferring the product without deleting the
software from the hard disk may violate the agreement. Adequate verification from this point of view is also necessary.

warranty agreement. For details, see the warranty.
Before requesting a repair
If a problem occurs with the product, confirm the problem by referring to 12.2 Troubleshooting in the PRIMEQUEST 2000
Series Administration Manual (CA92344-0537). If the error recurs, contact your sales representative or a field engineer.
