2-34 General Description

CPU/IO Module Status

The CPU/IO module (#0 or #1) started first is managed as primary, and the module started later is managed as secondary. If one CPU/IO module is disconnected because of the failure and others, the other module becomes primary.

The CPU/IO module to be started first is selected depending on the primary/secondary status of modules when the server was shut down the last time.

The following devices are connected to the primary CPU/IO module by the hardware switch, although those can be connected to both CPU/IO modules #0 and #1. When one CPU/IO module is disconnected because of a failure, those are switched to the other module automatically and continue operating.

„VGA

„CD-ROM drive

„USB device (keyboard, mouse, floppy disk drive)

Floppy Disk Drive (Option)

If you want to use a floppy disk drive with this server, connect N8460-002USB FDD UNIT, which are available optionally to a USB connector.

This server supports 3.5-inch 2HD (1.44 MB) and 2DD (720KB) floppy disks.

Insert/Remove Floppy Disk

Before inserting a floppy disk into the drive, make sure that NEC Express5800/ft series is on (the POWER LED illuminates).

Insert a floppy disk into the drive firmly until it snaps in place. The eject button of the drive is then raised slightly.

CHECK:

„You cannot use 1.2 MB-formatted disks.

„If you insert an unformatted disk, you will see a message that the disk cannot be read or that needs formatting. 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.

„When using a USB floppy disk drive, the access to the floppy disk is delayed on rare occasions if the display graphic load is high because a moving picture is being played. In such a case, retry the operation with the floppy disk inside the floppy disk drive.
