WARNING
Do not handle the CPU blade if it is installed in the Blade Enclosure.
To install or remove an option from the CPU blade, first turn off the power of the CPU blade and remove
the CPU blade from the Blade Enclosure.
If you touch any components on the CPU blade with it connected to Blade Enclosure, you may get an
electric shock.
Do not install or remove more than one CPU blade at a time.
Install or remove CPU blades one by one. If you install or remove more than one CPU blade at a time or a
CPU blade with the cover of another slot removed, you may be electrically shocked.
CAUTION
Keep water or foreign matter away from the server.
Do not let any liquid such as water or foreign materials including pins or paper clips enter the server.
Failure to follow this warning may cause an electric shock, a fire, or failure of the server. When such
things accidentally enter the server, immediately turn off the power and disconnect the power plug from
the outlet. Do not disassemble the server, and contact the store where you purchased the product or your
maintenance service company.
Make sure to complete device installation.
Always install an interface cable, CPU blade, Solid State Drive, and option board firmly. An incompletely
installed device may cause a contact failure, resulting in smoking or fire.
Use only the specified interface cable.
Use only interface cables authorized by NEC and locate a proper device and connector before connecting
a cable. Using an unauthorized cable or connecting a cable to an improper destination may cause a short
circuit, resulting in a fire.
Also, observe the following notes on using and connecting an interface cable.
Do not use any damaged cable connector.
Do not step on the cable.
Do not place any object on the cable.
Do not use the server with loose cable connections.
Do not use any damaged cable.
High temperature
Components including internal Solid State Drives in the server are extremely hot just after the server is
turned off. Allow the surface to cool before installing/removing.
Avoid contact with the server during thunderstorms.
Do not touch any part of the server including the cables when a thunderstorm is approaching. Also, do not
connect or disconnect any devices. There may be a risk of electric shock from lightning strike.
Keep animals away from the server.
Keep animals such as pets away from the server. Pet hair or other waste enters the server, which may
cause a fire or electric shock.

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)
Express5800/B120d, B110d 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.
●General
– Do not block air vents of the CPU blades, Blade Enclosures, power supply units, and additional FAN
units.
– The CPU blade is extremely sensitive to static electricity. For static notes, refer to Chapter 2 (1.2
Anti-static Measures).
– The CPU blade and internal option devices contain precision component that is easily affected by
drastic temperature change. If the device is used after storage or relocation, make sure that the
device is fully adapted to the operating environment.
– Do not touch the CPU blade terminals or on-board components by a bare hand nor place the CPU
blade directly on the desk.
– It is recommended to use options provided by NEC. Some memory devices and Solid State Drives of
other vendors are designed to be available for the server. If such an option causes the server to be
defected or damaged, you will be charged for the repair within the warranty period.
– Turn off the cellular phone or pager around the server. Radio interference may cause malfunctions of
the server.
●CPU blade
– N8400-131F/134F/135F/137F CPU blade should be installed in the Blade Enclosure
(SIGMABLADE).
– Install or remove CPU blades one by one.
– Hold the portions covered with metal plates when a CPU blade is installed or removed. To carry a
CPU blade, put it into the case in which the CPU blade was contained at the purchase and pack it
into the package.
– Check and adjust the system clock before the operation if any of the following conditions is
applicable.
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 C to 35 C; humidity: 20% to 80%).
– Check the system clock at the rough rate of once per month. When the system clock is installed in a
system requiring high time precision, it is recommended to use a time server (NTP server).
If the system clock is remarkably delayed or advanced as the passage of time in spite of adjustment,
contact your sales representative to ask maintenance.
– Store the unit under the storage condition (temperature: –10°C to 55°C, humidity: 20% to 80%,
without condensation).
– Turn on the power of each CPU blade by pressing the POWER switch or the remote power-on
operation after the period of 60 seconds or longer has passed from the supply of power (the POWER
lamp of the CPU blade goes on amber). The power of the CPU blade may not be turned on if the

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)
Express5800/B120d, B110d User's Guide
16
power-on operation is done within the period of less than 60 seconds from the supply of power. After
making sure that the power is supplied to every CPU blade, turn on the power of each CPU blade by
pressing the POWER switch.
– After turning off the power of a CPU blade once, turn on the power again after 30 seconds have
passed from the power-off.
– Remove a CPU blade after turning off the power of the CPU blade.
– Do not perform any of the following operation during POST (including similar operations from EM
card and external applications).
Press the POWER switch of the CPU blade.
Press the RESET switch of the CPU blade.
Remove the CPU blade from the Blade Enclosure.
Disconnect the power cord from the power unit of the Blade Enclosure.
●Hard disk drive
– Confirm the slot to which the Hard Disk Drive is inserted. The slot for the Hard Disk Drive to be
connected to each CPU blade is defined previously.
Tips Maintenance service
We offer periodic diagnosis and maintenance services by staff with expert
knowledge of the maintenance of this server.
We recommend that you make a periodic maintenance service contract with your
maintenance service company to keep your server in good condition.

Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)
Express5800/B120d, B110d User's Guide 17
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.
