Page 50 1-26 PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY 懷疑系統出現故障時當伺服器不能正常運行時，請在送修之前，先對照下述內容，找出問題所在並進行相應處理：請檢查電源線和連接線纜連接是否正確。請參照第七章的“錯誤消息”檢查是否出現相應症狀。如果有，請按提示採取相應的措施。請確認運行 NEC Express5800/ft 系列伺服器所需的軟體程式是否都已經正確安裝。請使用市場上銷售的抗病毒程式對伺服器進行檢查。如果進行了相應的處理之後仍然不能正常運行，請停止使用本伺服器並與經銷商或維護服務公司聯繫。在這種情況下請檢查伺服器的指示燈顯示並記錄顯示器顯示的資訊，這些提示有助於機器的維護。部件維修部件保修期在各個國家不同，請諮詢NEC銷售代表。如果沒有指定時期，部件維修將在停產後被保留5年。網路服務有關NEC Express5800/ft系列以及相關修正模組的資訊，可以參考NEC Express5800 亞太地區網站： http://www.nec.co.jp/express/index.html...
Page 51 PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY 1-27 保護健康的建議長時間連續使用電腦，有時身體各部位會出現異常反應。使用電腦時，請注意以下幾點，不要給身體造成負擔。保持良好的坐姿使用電腦時的基本姿勢是伸直腰背坐在椅子上，將鍵盤放置在與兩手和地板基本平行的高度，電腦螢幕比視線水平高度略低為宜。如果採用該基本姿勢，身體的任何部位都不用施加多餘的力，這是最能夠減小肌肉緊張的姿勢。不好的作業姿勢：如果彎腰曲背，臉離顯示器很近，這種狀態下工作會造成疲勞和視力下降。調整顯示器的角度顯示器角度大多可上下、左右調節。為防止耀眼強光射入畫面、保持顯示內容清晰，調節顯示器的角度必常重要。如果不調節角度，在不易觀看的角度下工作，則無法保持良好坐姿，很容易疲勞。因此，使用前，為便於觀看，請調整好顯示器的角度。調整畫面亮度和對比度顯示器具有調節亮度、對比度的功能。根據年齡和個人的差異、周圍的亮度不同，畫面的最佳亮度、對比度也有所不同，因此請根據具體情況將畫面調節到易於觀看的狀態。畫面過亮、過暗都會對眼睛產生不良影響。調整鍵盤角度有些鍵盤可以調節角度。調節鍵盤角度以便更易於輸入，對於減輕肩、腕和手指的負擔非常有效。清潔機器保持機器的整潔不論從美觀的角度，還是從功能和安全角度來看都是非常重要的。特別是顯示器的畫面上如果有灰塵等髒物，顯示內容就會看不清楚，所以定期清潔是很必要的。疲勞時請注意放鬆建議您疲勞時停下雙手休息一下，做做輕體操，轉換一下心情。...

2-24 General Description have set a password in the BIOS setup utility “SETUP.” You can enter a password up to three times. If you enter an incorrect password three times, the startup will be unsuccessful. In this case, turn off the power and then turn it on again after waiting 30 seconds to boot the server.
Page 77 General Description 2-25 However, those are not for duplication, which requires attention upon operation.  VGA (display)  USB device (keyboard, mouse, floppy disk drive) Also, only the optical disk drive on primary CPU/IO module can be used. Notes on VGA (display) VGA is connected to the primary CPU/IO module by the hardware switch upon starting.
Page 78: Floppy Disk Drive (Option)
To format a floppy disk, see your OS manual.  If you power on or restart NEC Express5800/ft series with a floppy disk left in the drive, the server will access the floppy disk to start the system. Unless a system exits on the FD, the server will be unable to start.
Page 79: Use Of Floppy Disk
Data loss could also be caused by faulty operation and computer trouble. To avoid such possible data loss, it is recommended that you back up important data regularly. (Be sure to make back-up copies of the floppy disks that are included with NEC Express5800/ft series.)
Page 80: Optical Disk Drive
2-28 General Description Optical Disk drive NEC Express5800/ft series has an optical disk drive on the front panel. It is a device used to read data from an optical disk (compact disc read-only memory). Compared to a floppy disk, an optical disk allows for larger volume and fast data readout.

Avoid failures caused by static electricity when installing or removing any optional devices.  Wearing wrist straps (arm belts or anti-static gloves). Wear wrist straps around your wrists. If no wrist strap is available, touch an unpainted metal part of the cabinet before touching a component to discharge static electricity from your body.
Page 222: Pre-Upgrade Verification
Confirm the required ft server control software’s version by referring to the sever-accessory User’s Guide, check the NEC website, or contact your sales representative. Verify the version of the ft control software on your system. After confirming the version as the available one for the device, add the device onto the server.
Page 223: Preparing Your System For Upgrade
To remove the CPU/IO module during the continuous operation, disable the intended module (place the module off-line) by using the ftServer Utility of the NEC ESMPRO Agent or the NEC ESMPRO Manager from the management PC on the network. After a new module is installed to the server, enable the module using the ftServer Utility or the NEC ESMPRO Manager.
Page 224: Cpu/Io Module
 Removing the module under operation may cause unexpected trouble. Use the management software (e.g., ftServer Utility or NEC ESMPRO Manager) to identify the module to be removed so that the module is removed when it is stopped, without fail.
Page 225: Removing Cpu/Io Module
Follow the procedure below to remove the CPU/IO module. Stop the CPU/IO module you want to remove. To this end, use the ftServer Utility of the NEC ESMPRO Agent installed to your server or the Data Viewer of the NEC ESMPRO Manager.
Page 226 8-8 System Upgrade Hold the stopper, and disconnect the power cable of the module to be removed. The stopper will return to the vertical position when you release it. CHECK: Leave your hands and make sure that the stopper returned to the vertical position. If you disconnect the cable and the stopper does not go back to this position, you cannot pull out the CPU/IO module in the next step.
Page 227 System Upgrade 8-9 Hold the black levers of the CPU/IO module and pull it out. Pull it off until it is locked and stopped. IMPORTANT:  Do not hold part other than the handle to pull the module.  Handle the CPU/IO module carefully. Do not drop the module or bump it against parts in the device when you remove it.
Page 228: Installing Cpu/Io Module
8-10 System Upgrade Installing CPU/IO Module Follow the procedure below to install the CPU/IO module: IMPORTANT: Make sure to read “ANTI-STATIC MEASURES” (page 8-3) and “PREPARING YOUR SYSTEM FOR UPGRADE” (page 8-5). Insert the black lever slowly and fasten the screws tightly. Be careful not to cause a shock to the device at this time.
Page 229 In some system statuses or settings, auto start up or integration does not take place when the module is connected. In such a case, check the status by using the ftServer Utility or NEC ESMPRO Manager data viewer, and then start up the CPU/IO modules. Connect the cables for connecting the peripheral devices and network.
Page 230: Dimm
For more information on static electricity, see “ANTI-STATIC MEASURES.”  Make sure to use the DIMM authorized by NEC. Installing a third-party DIMM may cause a failure of the DIMM as well as the server. Repair of the server due to failures or damage resulted from installing such unauthorized products will be charged.
Page 231: Precautions
System Upgrade 8-13 Precautions Note the following to install or replace DIMM.  The DIMMs with the same slot number are linked between the CH1 and CH0.. When a DIMM is added to one CH, another identical DIMM should be installed to the slot with the same number in another CH.
