Safety notes
To use this server safety, read thoroughly "Safety Precautions and Regulatory Notices" that comes with your
server.
Warning labels are attached on or near the components with potential hazards. These labels are attached or
printed on the components.
Do not remove or black out these labels and keep them clean. If no labels are attached or printed on the server,
contact your sales representative.

Handling precautions
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.
•Install the server in an appropriate place. For details about the installation location, see Chapter 2
Preparations (2. Installation and Connection).
•Before connecting/removing cables to/from peripheral devices, make sure that the server is off and
unplug the power cord, if they are non plug-and-play devices.
•Connect the provided power cord to a 100/200 VAC outlet.
•Make sure that the access LED on the server is off before turning off the power or ejecting an optical
disk.
•Wait for at least 30 seconds before connecting power cord to power outlet after disconnecting it.
•If any Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) unit is connected, set it to wait for at least 30 seconds
before turning on the server after power off.
•Do not press the POWER switch to turn on the server before the STATUS LED1, 2 (amber) is unlit.
•Wait for at least 30 seconds before turning on the server after turning off the server.
•Turn off the server and unplug the power cord before moving it.
•Regularly clean the server to prevent various types of failure. See Chapter 1 Maintenance (2. Daily
Maintenance) in Maintenance Guide for details.
•Momentary voltage drop may occur due to lightning strike. To prevent this, use of UPS is
recommended.
•Any copy-protected CD that does not conform to standards is not supported.
•In the following cases, check and adjust the system clock before operation.
−After transportation
−After storage
−After a period of disuse in which storage conditions did not conform to those at which server operations
are guaranteed (Temperature: 5°C to 40°C [5°C to 45°C when an option is installed, subject to
restrictions on the configuration], 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) to store the server.
•Do not power off or reset the server, nor disconnect the power cord before POST completes.
•If this server, internal optional devices, and media set for the backup devices (tape cartridges) are
moved from a cold place to a warm place in a short time, condensation will occur and cause
malfunctions and failures when these are 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 Tape media: Approximately 1 day
•For optional devices, we recommend you use our NEC products. Even if they are successfully
installed or connected, installation of unsupported devices can cause the server to malfunction or
even failure. You will be charged to repair failure or damage caused by use of such products even
within warranty period.

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.
