Do not shut down NEC Express5800/ft series during the duplication process of PCI modules

Do not perform shutdown while PCI modules are being duplicated (when starting the machine or when mounting a PCI module).

→The following phenomena occur when shutdown is performed:

•The mirror of hard disk drives is cancelled.

For details, see “Primary PCI module’s status LED2 and DISK ACCESS LED illuminate amber after startup:” of “Problems with NEC Express5800/ft series” of “SOLVING PROBLEMS” in Chapter 7 “Troubleshooting” in this User’s Guide.

•Duplication of LANs is cancelled and communication cannot be established the next time the machine is started.

[About recovery]

•“!” is displayed on Device Manager.

When “!” is displayed for a network adaptor (excluding “Intel(R) Advanced Network Services Virtual Adapter)” on Device Manager, reinstall the driver to that adapter (“Update Driver···”).

•The “Intel(R) Advanced Network Services Virtual Adapter”, “Client for Microsoft Networks”, and “File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks” checkboxes are cleared (they cannot be selected).

On the [Network Connections] dialog box, select “Intel® Advanced Network Services Virtual Adapter”, display its properties, and check if the “Client for Microsoft Networks” and “File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks” checkboxes are selected.

If an error occurs when these checkboxes are selected and trying to exit, uninstall “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and restart the system, and then, install “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” again.

Do not shut down NEC Express5800/ft series during the duplication process of CPU modules.

Do not perform shutdown when CPU modules are being duplicated (while starting NEC Express5800/ft series or when mounting a CPU module)

Check that the following event is recorded to the system event log and then perform shutdown:

<Duplication completion event of CPU modules>
