TM700 User Guide - Setting Up the System

Using the System

The following subsections describe how to use this server system properly and safely, including an explanation of the server system power on/off sequences, what the POST program checks in the server, and how to perform a forced power shutdown.

When using the server system the following precautions should be observed.

Make sure you power off the server before connecting or disconnecting cables between the server and peripheral devices. Connecting or disconnecting the cables while the server is powered on may cause malfunction or failures within the server.

Verify that the access lamp on the diskette drive is unlit before turning off the server or ejecting the floppy disk. Turning off the server or ejecting the floppy disk while the access lamp is lit may damage data being stored on the floppy disk.

After turning off the server, wait at least 10 seconds before turning it on again. Cycling the power immediately may cause malfunction or failures of the server.

Before relocating the server, turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the outlet. Moving the server when it is powered may cause malfunction or failures of the server.

Some software includes a command to eject the CD-ROM tray or a media in a device mounted in the 5.25-inch device bay. Make sure that the front door of the tower-based cabinet is open before running the command. Running this command with the front door closed may cause the CD-ROM tray or the media to hit against the front door, resulting in a possible failure of the CD-ROM.

Clean the server regularly. Regular cleaning prevents failures of the server and its components.

Lightning may cause a momentary voltage drop. To prevent this problem, an unin- terruptible power supply unit is recommended.

Only use options qualified for the server. A non-qualified option may be mounted or connected to the server, but it may fail to operate normally or even cause fail- ures. These types of failures are not covered under warranty.
