For Proper Operation
Observe the following notes for successful operation of the server. Use of the server ignoring the
notes will cause malfunctions or failures of the server.
 Install the server in a place that meets requirements for successful operation. For details,
see Chapter 3, "Setting Up Your Server."
 Make sure to power off the server before connecting or disconnecting cables between the
server and peripheral devices.
 Verify that the access lamp on the server is unlit before turning off the server or ejecting
the floppy disk.
 When plugging the power cord to the system, you may experience 10 seconds delay from
the time you press the POWER switch on the front panel. This is normal system
operation.
 When you have just turned off the server, wait at least 30 seconds before turning it back
on.
 Do not turn off the server until characters appear on the screen.
 For the disk which does not conform to the CD standard, the playback of such a disk with
the CD drive is not guaranteed.
 Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the outlet before relocating the
server.
 Clean the server on a regular basis. (See Chapter 7 for cleaning.) Regular cleaning
proactively prevents various failures of the server.
 Lightning may cause a momentary voltage drop. To prevent this problem, it is
recommended to use of an uninterruptible power supply unit.
 Make sure to use optional devices supported by the server. Some non-supported devices
may be physically installed/connected but cause failures of the server as well as
malfunctions of the server.
 NEC recommends you use NEC's genuine products. Some third-party products claim
that they support the server. However, repair of the server due to a failure or damage
resulted from use of such third-party products will be charged.

 Your server contains some components that are only good for a limited period of time and
require replacement, such as fans, internal batteries, the internal CD-ROM drive, the
floppy disk drive, and the mouse. For stable operation of the server, NEC recommends
you replace these components on a regular basis. Consult with your sales agent for

USER SUPPORT
Before Asking for Repair, do the following when the NEC Express server appears to fail:
1. Check if the power cord and the cables to other devices are properly connected.
2. See Chapter 6 to find if your problem fits the description. If it does, take the
recommended measure for it.
3. Check if the software required for operation of the NEC Express server is properly
installed.
If the NEC Express server still appears to fail after you have taken the above actions, consult with
your sales agent immediately. Take notes on lamp indications of the server and alarm indications
on the display unit before consultation, which may provide a significant help to your sale agent.
