Environmental protection and service
The PRIMEQUEST systems have a long life expectancy, not only because of the excellent
expansion options they offer, but also because of the quality of the products.
As technology continues to develop, however, ever greater volumes of data will need to be
processed. More and more demands are being placed on storage capacity, speed and
computer system design. So when you eventually want to replace your PRIMEQUEST
system with a newer model and dispose of the old device, we can also offer you support in
this area.
Recycling old computer equipment is already a tradition at Fujitsu Technology Solutions:
We have been redeeming and reusing old computer systems for many years now. Even at
the design stage, particular emphasis is placed on the reusability of components and
materials.
Your PRIMEQUEST system is manufactured to the greatest possible extent from environ-
mentally friendly materials that can be fully recycled.
Read on through the next sections for a brief look at some of the measures we have intro-
duced in an effort to protect the environment as well as our tips and suggestions for environ-
mentally friendly handling of your system.
Environmentally friendly product design and development
This product has been designed in accordance with Fujitsu Technology Solutions Guideline
FSC 03230 “environmentally friendly product design and development”.
This means that the designers have taken into account critical factors such as durability,
selection of materials and coding, emissions, packaging, the ease with which the product
can be dismantled and the extent to which it can be recycled.
This saves resources and thus reduces the harm done to the environment.
Production and development of the PRIMEQUEST systems are certified in accordance with
the environment management system DIN ISO 14001.
Note on saving energy
If your device does not have to remain switched on permanently, only switch it on when you
are ready to use it and then switch it off again during long breaks and when you finish your
work.

Note on dealing with consumables
Please dispose of printer consumables and batteries in accordance with local government
regulations.
Note on labeling plastic housing parts
Please avoid sticking your own labels on plastic housing parts wherever possible, since this
makes it difficult to recycle them.
Take-back, recycling and disposal
Our remarketing and recycling center is certified in accordance with the ECO Audit
Regulation of the European Community. Contact it for details on redeeming and reusing
devices and consumables within Europe:

The effect of temperature on
the reliability of IT installations
High ambient temperatures and the associated high component temperatures have a
deleterious effect on all technical products and thus also on IT installations.
The following areas are particularly affected:
•Functionality
The propagation time of electrical signals increases with temperature. If the tem-
perature increases beyond certain limits (at present approx. 100 °C crystal tempera-
ture) this will lead to malfunctions, particularly in the case of fast processors.
•Wear
Storage media, and in this case particularly magnetic tapes, suffer from wear due to
friction. The amount of wear increases with temperature, and beyond a certain point
(from about 45 °C tape temperature) it rises drastically.
•Failure rate and MTBF
The failure rate of a component, λ, is generally determined by mechanisms whose
reaction time increases when heated and thus at higher temperatures. This means
that the failure rate will also increase with temperature. The actual rate of increase
will depend on numerous additional factors, such as different component technology,
where the component is installed, and so on.
The measure of a system’s reliability is generally given in terms of its MTBF (mean
time between failures), which is the reciprocal of the failure rate (MTBF = 1/λ). Ac-
cording to the information in the document MIL-HDBK-217F (Reliability Prediction of
Electronic Equipment. Department of Defense, Washington, D.C. 1990) the variation
with ambient temperature of the MTBF value for an IT installation follows the path
shown in the following diagram. This graph is normalized on the MTBF value at an
ambient temperature of 25 °C.
You can see from this diagram that increasing the ambient temperature by around
15 °C will halve the MTBF.

Installation instructions
IT installations are generally designed in such a way that cooling air is drawn in through
the door at the front and the warmed air expelled through the back of the system cabi-
net.
The volume of air actually throughput will depend on the power of the fans that are
used; for a fully configured high-end system it may be as much as 1200 m3/h. The heat
that needs to be extracted corresponds to the mains power consumption and this will
depend on the configuration. High-end systems may convert up to 4 kW to heat.
The following points should be noted to ensure optimal cooling:
In the machine room
•Provide an air-conditioning system with sufficient power to deal with the amount of
heat that will have to be extracted.
•Make air intake available from the false floor near to the front of the cabinets.
•Install suitable floor plates (e. g. slotted) to provide the required throughput of air.
•Extract exhaust air from the area behind the system cabinets.
•Always arrange cabinets with fronts and backs side by side (see the following
illustration).
•Where cabinets are arranged in several rows, always position the rows front-to-front
or back-to-back (see the following illustration).
•Make sure that rows are no closer together than the installation distance (1 m).
•Do not place isolated units in the corner of a room; they should be at least 1 m away
from all walls.
Inside the system
•Where units are not fully configured all vacant slots must be covered with blanking
plates.
•Cables must be arranged to obstruct the air-flow as little as possible.
•Keep the openings for air intake and outlet clear.

Checklist for cooling-related malfunctions
Temperature of the input air (room temperature) is too high
(desired temperature < 25 °C, maximum value < 32 °C)
Measuring points
The temperature should be measured at two places within the air intake area at the front
of the system:
1. At floor level underneath the front door of the cabinet.
2. In the middle of the front door of the cabinet.
Check the following
•Is the air-conditioner powerful enough and is it working properly?
•Have the cabinets been arranged as specified in the above installation instructions?
•Are the air intake and outlet openings of the room’s ventilation system located as
specified in the above installation instructions?
Temperature of the exhaust air from the system is too high = not enough
throughput
(desired temperature < Tinput +10°C)
Measuring points
The temperature should be measured at three places at the rear of the system:
1. At the back of the cabinet in the middle of the back door.
2. At the back of the cabinet next to the top air outlet opening on the back door.
3. At the back of the cabinet 0.1 m below the room ceiling.
Check the following
•Are the cabinet’s air intake and outlet openings clear?
•Have the cables been positioned as directed by the installation instructions?
•Have all the necessary blanking plates been installed?

Reader Feedback
• The Remote Customer Support System (REMCS) is not supported in Europe.
• In this manual, it is assumed that two BMMs (optional products) can be connected to a single I/O
unit and IOX; this is reflected both in the explanations and in the figures included in this manual.
At present, however, the PRIMEQUEST 420 series supports only connection to one BMM
(BMM#0) per I/O unit and IOX.
