Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read)
Tips for your health and safety
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.

(3) Memory Sparing Feature
Memory Sparing feature puts a memory channel 2 of a memory controller in each CPU into standby status as
spare devices. If a correctable error occurs in a DIMM in the running memory controller, the feature
automatically changes the running DIMM from the failed one to a DIMM in the standby state to continue the
processing.
Note
To use Memory Sparing feature, install N8102-552/553/554 additional memory
board (three DIMMs of same model).
DIMMs installed in the system must be of the same model number.
Tips
The operating system recognizes the DIMMs as those with capacities less than
the actual physical capacities. (The recognized capacities vary depending on the
number of DIMMs and the physical capacity per DIMM.)

1.13 PCI Card
This server provides a riser card for PCI card and a slot for RAID controller. The riser card can connect one
Full Height PCI card, one Low Profile PCI card and one RAID controller (total three PCI card can be
mounted).
Important
You must avoid static electricity to work with the procedure below. For
details, see Chapter 2 (1.2 Anti-static Measures).
1.13.1
Notes
Read the following notes when installing or removing a PCI card.
•
Do not touch the terminals of the riser cards and the leads of electronic components with your bare
hand. Fingerprints and dust left on them cause the server to malfunction due to a connection failure or
damage to the leads.
•
Available type of PCI card depends on riser card. Make sure the card type before connecting it to riser
card.
•
The server provides no connector to connect a LED connector which is supplied in RAID Controller
used to indicate disk access.
•
PCI slot number "1C" is assigned to the riser card for Low Profile PCI cards, "1B" is assigned to the
riser card for Full Height PCI cards, "1A" is assigned to the RAID controller slot, “1D” is assigned to LAN
Riser Card slot.
•
The search order for PCI bus slot on boot is as follows.
Slot 1A (dedicated to RAID Controller) → Slot 1B (Full height card slot) → Slot 1C (Low profile card slot)
→ Slot 1D (dedicated to LAN riser card)
•
The PCI devices of the same type (including onboard PCI device) may be recognized in different order
from that described above, depending on OS or RAID Configuration Utility. Check the slot location of
PCI device by PCI bus number, device number and function number shown in the table below.

•
If an additional LAN card is installed, it is hard to push the catch of the connector with your finger that is
connected to the LAN card. Disconnect the connector pushing the catch with a standard screwdriver. At
this time, be very careful for the screwdriver not to damage the LAN card.
•
If a bootable device such as a PCI card or USB device is added, the boot order may change.
In BIOS Setup Utility, select Hard Drive BBS Priorities from Boot menu, and then specify a higher
priority for the boot device.
Boot → Hard Drive BBS Priorities → Check the display
If the boot device is an HDD under an optional RAID Controller, the display is (Bus xx Dev 00) PCI
RAID Adapter. Note that the value for xx changes depending on the PCI slot where a RAID board is
installed.
•
For a RAID Controller, LAN card (network boot), or Fibre Channel controller, if no hard disk drive on
which an OS is installed is connected, set the option ROM for that slot to Disabled. See Chapter 2 (1.
Detail of System BIOS) in "Maintenance Guide" for how to specify it.

POST
POST (Power-On Self-Test) is a self-diagnostic program stored in the server as standard. POST
automatically runs immediately after the server is turned on and checks the motherboard, memory, and
processor (CPU). POST also displays the start-up messages of different utilities during the operation.
Usually, you do not need to check the contents of POST. However, check messages displayed at POST
in the following cases.
• When introducing a server
• If you suspect a failure
• When you hear beep many times during the time between power ON and OS startup
• When any error message is displayed

was displayed, a logo appears on the screen.
• Keyboard becomes operable after the logo appears.
Note
• While an initialization message is displayed, a screen is sometimes switched
over to the screen by which nothing is displayed (black screen) several times.
It’s no problem for operation.
• An initialization message isn't sometimes displayed by the occasion with which
an option VGA controller was connected and setting of a BIOS setup utility
(SETUP).
• An initialization message isn't displayed on the console redirection screen of a
serial port.
