Preface
1. This Service Guide provides you with all technical information relating to the BASIC CONFIGURATION
decided for NEC's "global" product offering. To better fit local market requirements and enhance product
competitiveness, your regional office MAY have decided to extend the functionality of a machine (e.g.
add-on card, modem, or extra memory capability). These LOCALIZED FEATURES will NOT be covered
in this generic service guide. In such cases, please contact your regional offices or the responsible
personnel/channel to provide you with further technical details.
2. Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, that you should check the most up-to-date information
available on your regional web or channel. If, for whatever reason, a part number change is made, it will not
be noted in the printed Service Guide. For -AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS, your NEC office may
have a DIFFERENT part number code to those given in the FRU list of this printed Service Guide. You
MUST use the list provided by your regional NEC office to order FRU parts for repair and service of
customer machines.

Safety, Care and Regulatory Information
Before installing a server, be sure that you understand the following warnings and cautions.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it. Pay particular
attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the server.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal
system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed.
Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal
damage.
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system
or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards
or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device. To
prevent electrostatic damage:
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Server warnings and cautions
Before installing a server, be sure that you understand the following warnings and cautions.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
1. Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
2. Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
3. Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
4. Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it. Pay
particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the server.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal
system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the
server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
WARNING: This server is equipped with high speed fans. Keep away from hazardous moving fan
blades during servicing

IV
CAUTION:
Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in
this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
