2-6 Setting Up the System
! 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 40 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 uninterruptible 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 failures. These types of failures are not covered under
warranty.
Opening the Front Door of the Tower Cabinet
You must open the front door of the tower cabinet to turn the server power on or
off, place the server in sleep mode, mount or dismount a floppy disk, mount or
dismount a hard disk drive, or mount or dismount 5 1/4-inch removable media
devices.
Note: The standard CD-ROM drive and some options for
the 5 1/4-inch devices such as a CD-ROM drive have a
function to eject a tray or media using a software comm and.
Before issuing a software command to eject a tray or media,
confirm that the front door is open. If the command is
executed while the front door is closed a tray or media m ay
run into the front door resulting in an error or ma y cause the
unit to fail.
