Introduction
Your PRIMERGY server is based on the latest Intel processor technology and has
space for installing four accessible drives (three 5 1/4 inch drives and one 3 1/2
inch drive) and either five non-accessible 3 1/2 inch drives of one inch height or
three of 1.6 inch height.
Of course, your PRIMERGY server has plug-and-play capability. It automatically
recognizes and installs boards, devices and drives that support this capability. If
however you want to make system settings by hand, you can do so in the easy-to-
use BIOS Setup.
Security functions in the BIOS Setup and on the system board protect the data on
the server against manipulation. Additional protection is offered by the lockable
server door and an anti-theft facility.
This Operating Manual tells you how to put your server into operation and how to
operate it in daily use.
Further information on this server is provided:
• in the manual „Safety and ergonomics“
• in the Operating Manual for the monitor
• in the Technical Manual for the system board
• in the documentation of your operating system
• in the information files of your operating system (e. g. *.TXT or *.HLP)
• in the Operating Manual of Server Management and Remote TDS
• in the documentation for the boards and drives

Important Notes
In this chapter you will find information regarding safety which it is essential to take
note of when working with your server. The manufacturer's notes contain helpful
information on your server.
Safety
!
Pay attention to the information provided in the manual "Safety and
ergonomics".
• During installation and before operating the device, observe the instructions
on environmental conditions in the chapter entitled "Technical data" as well as
the instructions in the chapter "Preparation for use and operation".
• Please check whether the workstation is set to the local power supply (see
chapter "Preparation for use and operation").
• The main switch and the ON/OFF switch do not disconnect the server from the
line voltage. To disconnect the line voltage completely, remove the power plug
from the grounded power outlet.
• When cleaning the server observe the relevant notes in the chapter
"Preparation for use and operation".
• When connecting and disconnecting cables, observe the relevant notes in the
chapter „Preparation for use and operation“.
• Replace the lithium battery on the system board in accordance with the
instructions in the Technical Manual for the system board.
• The CD-ROM drive contains a light-emitting diode (LED), classified according
to IEC 825-1:1993:LASER CLASS 1.
• Keep this Operating Manual together with your device. If you pass on the
device to third parties, you should also pass on the Operating Manual.
Warning
!
The lithium battery of the device may only be replaced by one that is
identical or by a type recommended by the vendor. If the lithium battery
is not replaced in the proper manner, there is a danger of explosion (see
the Operating Manual for your device).

Preparation for use and operation
!
Please take note of the safety information in the chapter "Important
Notes".
Unpacking and checking the delivery
!
If you need to lift or transport the server, ask someone to help you.
It is recommended not to throw away the original packaging material! It may be
required for reshipment at some later date
Ê Unpack all the individual parts.
Ê Check the delivery for damage incurred during transport.
Ê Check whether the delivery agrees with the details in the delivery note.
Ê Check whether all necessary details have been entered on the first page of
the guarantee coupon booklet.
Should you discover that the delivery does not correspond to the delivery note,
notify your local sales office immediately.
i
If you have received drives or boards with your server, mount them before
installing the server. The chapter „System expansions“will tell you how to
do this.

Preparation for use and operation
12 A26361-K423-Z202-3-7619
Preparing the PC for use
When you set up the server for the first time, you should carry out the following
steps in the order shown. Unless otherwise specified, the steps are described in
this chapter.
1. Decide where you are going to install the server.
2. Connect the external devices to the server.
3. Check the rated voltage and connect the server to line voltage.
4. Switch the server on and follow the instructions on the screen.
Setting up the server
!
When installing your server, give consideration to the recommendations
about an ergonomic video workstation in the "Safety and ergonomics"
manual.
We recommend that you place your equipment on a surface with good
anti-slip qualities. In view of the multitude of different finishes and
varnishes used on furniture, it is possible that the rubber or aluminum feet
of the devices will mark the surface they stand on.
Do not expose the server to extreme environmental conditions (see
chapter "Technical data"). Protect it from dust, humidity and heat.
Provide at least 200 mm of clearance in front of and behind the ventilator
area of the server to ensure adequate ventilation. Do not cover the
ventilation areas of the monitor and the server.
