In preparation of a failure occurring, set the following:

"Chapter 5 Operations after OS Installation"
- Set to collect memory dump
By setting to collect memory dump, debugging information can be saved when a STOP error (blue screen) or a hangup occurs
in the system. Saving the debugging information helps to analyze the cause of the error.
- Create a system restoration disk.
When the system le or system environments are damaged, the system can be recongured with the content saved in the system
restoration disk.
- Store system settings
By storing the BIOS settings, the original information can be recovered when the setting information is lost.
When this server is installed, record and save the BIOS settings by yourself.
Be careful not to lose the stored BIOS setting information, as you must provide this in maintenance.
When the settings are completed, make sure to check notes before operation.

"5.5 Notes Before Operating the Server"
For details about maintenance after operations have started, refer to "User's Guide Chapter 9 Operation and Maintenance".
1Check that no medium is inserted in the
oppy disk drive or CD-ROM drive.
2Exit the operating system (OS).
After the OS is exited, the server is automatically

is not off after the OS is exited, press the power
switch on the front of the server blade.
3Press the main power switch on front
of the chassis.
Continue pressing the switch until main LED of
the chassis turns off.
4Power off the peripheral devices, such
as the display.
5Install the optional devices.
- After optional devices are installed, set the VLAN of
the network blade, BIOS Setup Utility as required.
For details about setting procedures, refer to
"PRIMERGY BX600 LAN Switch Blade Document CD",
"User's Guide Chapter 8 Hardware Conguration/
Utilities", or the option’s manual.
- After UPS is installed, set the BIOS Setup Utility as
required. For details about setting procedures, refer to
"User’s Guide 5.5.4 Notes on Advanced Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS)".
- When turning on the server again after turning it off,
wait for at least ten seconds and then press the
power switch. If the server is turned on straight after
being turned off, an error will occur that may cause
damage.
- If removing the server blade from the chassis, or
removing the power cable of the chassis after turning
off the server blade, wait for about 20 seconds
before performing the operation.
