1-8 Notes on Using Your ServerFOR PROPER OPERATIONObserve the following notes for successful operation of the server. Use of the server ignoring thenotes 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 theserver and peripheral devices. Verify that the access lamp on the server is unlit before turning off the server or ejectingthe floppy disk. When plugging the power cord to the system, you may experience 10 seconds delay fromthe time you press the POWER switch on the front panel. This is normal systemoperation. When you have just turned off the server, wait at least 30 seconds before turning it backon. 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 withthe 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 cleaningproactively prevents various failures of the server. Lightning may cause a momentary voltage drop. To prevent this problem, it isrecommended to use of an uninterruptible power supply unit. Check and adjust the system clock before the operation if any of the following conditionsis applicable.– After carriage of device– After storage of device– After the device is entered into the pause state under the environmental conditionenduring device operation (temperature: 10°C - 35°C, humidity: 20% - 80%) Check the system clock at the rough rate of once per month. When the system clock isinstalled 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 ofadjustment, contact your sales agent to ask maintenance. Store the unit under the storage condition (temperature: –10°C - 55°C, humidity: 20% -80%, without condensation) to allow built-in devices and the unit to operate correctly inthe next operation. Make sure to use optional devices supported by the server. Some non-supported devicesmay be physically installed/connected but cause failures of the server as well asmalfunctions of the server. NEC recommends you use NEC's genuine products. Some third-party products claimthat they support the server. However, repair of the server due to a failure or damageresulted from use of such third-party products will be charged.
