as power lines, power socket (if supplied with the equipment) etc.. For the safety of
equipment and the user, do not replace randomly power cables or plugs.
Warning 5: To prevent electric shock dangers caused by leakage in the sys-
tem, please make sure that the power cables of the system and peripheral equip-
ment are correctly connected to the earthed power socket. Please connect the
three-core power line plug to the three-core AC power socket that is well earthed
and easy to access, be sure to use the earthing pin of power lines and do not use
the patch plug or the earthing pin unplugged with cables. In case of the earthing

shock hazards, please do not ll any object into the open pores of the system.
Warning 7: Please place the system far away from the cooling plate and at
the place with heat sources, and be sure not to block the air vents.
Warning 8: Be sure not to scatter food or liquid in the system or on other
components, and do not use the product in humid and dusty environment.
Warning 9: The replacement of batteries with those of another model may
cause explosion. When replacement of batteries is required, please consult rst the
manufacturer and choose batteries of the same or a similar model recommended
by the manufacturer. Do not dismount, extrude and pink the batteries or make
the external connection point short circuit, and do not expose them in the environ-
ment over 60°C. Never throw them into re or water. Please do not try to open
or repair the batteries, and be sure to reasonably deal with the at batteries and
do not put the at batteries, the circuit boards that may include the batteries and
other components with other wastes. For relevant battery recovery, please contact
the local waste recovery and treatment mechanism.
If what you bought is the chassis, besides carefully read the installation de-
scription attached with the cabinet products and get known about the special
warning notices and installation process, you must abide by the following preven-
tive measures to guarantee the cabinet to be stable and safe:
Warning 10: Before installing equipment in the chassis, please install front
and side supporting feet on the independent chassis; for cabinet connecting with
other chassis, it shall install the front supporting foot rst. If you fail to install cor-
respondingly the supporting foot before installing equipment in the chassis, it may
cause the cabinet to turn over in some cases, and thus may cause personal injury.
Therefore, it is necessary to install supporting feet before installing equipment in
the chassis. After installing the equipment and other components in the chassis, it
can only pull out one component from the cabinet through its sliding component
at one time. Pulling out several components at the same time may lead the cabinet
to turn over and cause serious personal injury.
Warning 11: Please do not move the chassis. Considering the height and
weight of the chassis, at least two people are needed to complete its movement.
Warning 12: Declaration

Chapter Three System Setup
Chapter Three System Setup
In this chapter, the regular jumper of motherboard and BIOS function setup of
this server are introduced. Only operator or administrator with qualication of system
maintenance can implement these operations described in this part.
3.1 System BIOS Setup
BIOS is a basic input and output system. With some special setting programs, it
can adjust the system parameter and the hardware parameter. As BIOS has great inu-
ence on the starting and running of the system, setting parameters improperly may arise
the conict among hardware resources, or affect the system’s performance. Hence un-
derstanding the BIOS setup is signicant to server conguration. If there is no especial
requirement, we suggest you use the default value and not alter the parameters.
Notes:
1.Before the server BIOS setup is altered, please record the corresponding origi-
nal setup. Hence when there are operating problems in the system due to the alteration,
the setup can be restored.
2.The factory default system setup is usually the optimized setup. Don’t try to al-
ter the parameters before you understand their denotations.
3.The common setup is introduced in detail in this chapter. For items less used in
the application, this chapter only offers simple instruction or just omits the instruction.
4.The contents of the BIOS may differ due to the different congurations of prod-
ucts; no detailed introduction will be provided here.
3.1.1 How to Enter the BIOS Setup
Power up and start the server. When the picture of “Press <DEL> to SETUP or
<TAB> to POST”, press [DEL], wait for a while and then the system enters BIOS setup.
If the system does not enter BIOS setup after previous steps, please press [Ctrl]-
[Alt]-[Del] at the same time to reset the system, and repeat operations above. (If the
prompt displays to press [DEL] again, please press it quickly.)
Notes: some items in BIOS cannot be congured, for example, information of sys-
tem detecting and conguration. For some items, there is a right pointer, which means
if you select this item and press [Enter], cascading menu or submenu will be displayed
