1-8 Notes on Using the Server  
FOR PROPER OPERATION  
Observe the following notes for successful operation of the NEC Express server. Use of the NEC  
Express server ignoring the notes will cause malfunctions or failures of the server.  
Install the NEC Express server in a place that meets requirements for successful operation.  
For details, see Chapter 2, "Setting Up the Server."  
Do not delete the hard disk partition exclusively provided for maintenance of the NEC  
Express server although it may appear on the OS.  
Make sure to power off the NEC Express server before connecting or disconnecting  
cables between the server and peripheral devices.  
Verify that the access lamp on the NEC Express server is unlit before turning off the  
server or ejecting the floppy disk.  
Do not turn on the server after plugging the power cord.  
Do not turn off the server until the "NEC" logo and the some characters appear on the  
screen.  
When you have just turned off the NEC Express server, wait at least 30 seconds before  
turning it back on.  
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the outlet before relocating the NEC  
Express server.  
You may use a software command to eject the tray or a media from the CD-ROM drive or  
an optional device, for example a DAT, installed in the 5.25-inch device bay, respectively.  
Make sure that the front door is open before ejecting the tray or media with a software  
command. Running the command when the front door is closed will cause the tray or  
media to hit against the front door, which may cause a hardware failure of the NEC  
Express server as well as a software error.  
Clean the NEC Express server on a regular basis. (See Chapter 5 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 an uninterruptible power supply unit.  
Make sure to use optional devices supported by the NEC Express server. Some  
non-supported devices may be physically installed/connected but cause failures of the  
server as well as a malfunction of the server.  
NEC recommends you use NEC's genuine products. Some third-party products claim  
that they support the NEC Express server. However, repair of the server due to a failure  
or damage resulted from use of such third-party products will be charged.

1-11 Notes on Using the Server  
Advice for Health  
The longer you keep using the computer equipment, the more you become tired,  
which may cause disorders of your body. When you use a computer, observe  
the following to keep yourself from getting tired:  
Good Working Posture  
You have good posture if the following are satisfied when you use a computer:  
You sit on a chair with your back straight.  
Your hands are parallel with the floor when you put them on the  
keyboard.  
You look at the screen slightly lower than your eye height.  
You have "good working posture" as described in the above when no part of  
your body is under excess strain, in other words when your muscles are most  
relaxed.  
You have "bad posture" when you sit with your back hunched up or you operate  
a display unit with your face close to the screen. Bad working posture may  
cause eye strain or poor eyesight.  
Adjustment of Display Unit Angles  
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. You will not be able  
to keep "good working posture" and you will feel more tired than you should if  
you operate a display unit without adjusting horizontal and vertical angles.  
Adjustment of Screen Brightness and Contrast  
The display unit has brightness and contrast adjustment functions. The most  
suitable brightness and contrast depend on the individual and the working  
environment (well-lighted room or insufficient light). Adjust brightness and  
contrast so that the screen will be easy to see. An extremely bright or dark  
screen will give a bad effect to your eyes.  
Adjustment of Keyboard Angle  
The keyboard provided with the NEC Express server is designed for adjustment  
of an angle. Adjust the keyboard angle at which the keyboard is easy to  
operate. The adjustment assists in reducing strain on your shoulders, arms,  
and fingers.  
Cleaning of Equipment  
Clean equipment regularly. It is difficult to see the display contents on a dusty  
screen. Keeping equipment clean is also important for your sight.  
Fatigue and Rest  
If you feel tired, you should stop working and do light exercises.

1-12 Notes on Using the Server  
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 sales agent.

Notes  
ABOUT THE USE OF SCREWS  
The screws to be used in the Basic Processing Unit are inch screws.  
When installing option parts, make sure to use the relevant screws.  
Furthermore, be careful because the screws to be used with the Basic Processing Unit are  
different from those for installing a hard disk, a floppy disk drive or a 5.25 inch device.  
When a screw is already attached to the option part, always use the screw that comes with  
the device.  
TRANSPORTING THE UNIT  
When transporting the Basic Processing Unit, use the package box of the exclusive use.  
When using another box, use some buffering material to defend it against the impact.  
At least three persons are required to carry the server (Max 44kg).
