Scalable Modular Server DX2000 User’s Guide 15
Handling precautions (for proper operations)
Be sure to observe the following precautions for the proper functioning of the server. Ignoring the precautions
may cause server malfunction or failure.
● Do not use any cell phone or PHS and switch off them near the server. Electric waves from such devices
can cause server to malfunction.
● After disconnecting a power cord from a plug, wait for at least 30 seconds before re-connecting the cable.
● Wait for at least 10 seconds before turning on the server module after turning off the server module.
● Turn off the server and unplug the power cord before moving it.
● Regularly clean the server. Turn off the server before cleaning the server.
Clean the inlet, around internal fans and internal modules, and clogged portions.
● In the following cases, check and adjust the system clock before operation.
― After transportation
― After storage
― After the server is used following a period of disuse, in which storage conditions did not conform to
those that guarantee server operations (temperature: 10 to 40°C; humidity: 20% to 80%).
● Check the system clock approximately once per month. Use of a time server (NTP server) is recommended
if high accuracy timing is required by the system.
● Observe the storage conditions (Temperature: −10°C to 55°C, Humidity: 20% to 80%, No condensation of
moisture) when storing the server for long periods.
● After Server module DC on, do not turn off or reset the server, nor disconnect the power cord before POST
completes.
● If this server is moved from a cold place to a warm place in a short time, condensation will occur and cause
malfunctions and failures when it is used in such state. To protect important stored data and property,
make sure to wait for a sufficient period to use the server and components in the operating environment.
Reference: Time effective at avoiding condensation in winter (more than 10°C differences between the
room temperature and atmospheric temperature)
Disk devices: Approximately 2 to 3 hours

Using a computer extensively may affect different parts of your body. Here are tips you should follow while working on
a computer to minimize strain on your body.
Keep proper posture
The basic body position for using a computer is sitting straight with
your hands on the keyboard parallel with the floor, and your eyes
directed slightly downward toward the monitor. With the proper
posture described above, no unnecessary strain is applied on any
part of your body, in other words when your muscles are most
relaxed.
Working on the computer with bad posture such as hunching over or
being too close to the monitor could cause fatigue or deteriorated
eyesight.
Adjust the angle of your display
Most display units are designed for adjustment of the horizontal and
vertical angles. This adjustment is important to prevent the screen
from reflecting bright lights and to make the display contents easy to
see. Working without adjusting the display to a comfortable angle
makes it difficult for you to maintain a proper posture and you will
get tired easily. Adjust the viewing angle before use.
Adjust the brightness and contrast of the display
Display screens have functions to control brightness and contrast.
The most suitable brightness/contrast depends on age, individuals,
and environment, so adjust it to suit your preferences. A too bright or
too dark display is bad for your eyes.
Adjust the angle of keyboard
Some keyboards are ergonomically designed, which allow the angle
to be adjusted. Adjusting the angle of the keyboard is effective to
reduce tension on your shoulders, arms, and fingers.
Clean your equipment
Keeping your equipment clean is important not only for the appearance but also for functional and safety reasons. A
dusty monitor makes it difficult to see the display contents, so clean it regularly.
Take rest breaks
When you feel tired, take a break. Light exercise is also
recommended.
Tips for your health and safety
