Aluminum electrolytic capacitors

The aluminum electrolytic capacitors used in the product's printed circuit board assemblies and in the mouse and keyboard are limited-life components. Use of these components beyond their operating life may result in electrolyte leakage or depletion, potentially causing emission of foul odor or smoke.

As a guideline, in a normal office environment (25°C) operating life is not expected to be reached within the maintenance support period (5 years). However, operating life may be reached more quickly if, for example, the product is used in a hot environment. The customer shall bear the cost of replacing replaceable components which have exceeded their operating life. Note that these are only guidelines, and do not constitute a guarantee of trouble-free operation during the maintenance support period.

High safety use

This product has been designed and manufactured to be used in commercial and/or industrial areas as a server.

When used as visual display workplace, it must not be placed in the direct field of view to avoid incommoding reflections (applies only to TX server systems).

The device has not been designed or manufactured for uses which demand an extremely high level of safety and carry a direct and serious risk of life or body if such safety cannot be assured.

6 Power supplySafety notes

V CAUTION!

● Do not disassemble the power supply unit. Doing so may cause electric shock.

● Areas around the power supply unit may remain extremely hot after shutdown. After shutting down the server, wait for hot components to cool down before removing the power supply unit.

● When installing the power supply unit, be sure to confirm that the connector of the power supply unit is not damaged or bent.

● Do not insert your hands in the power supply unit slot when removing the power supply unit. Doing so may cause electric shock.

● If the power supply unit is hard to remove, do not pull out it by force.

● The power supply unit is heavy, so handle it carefully. If you drop it by mistake, injuries may result.


6.1 Basic information

The server enclosure uses a hot-plug PSU, which automatically sets itself to a mains voltage in the range of 200 - 240 V. (For the Japanese market there are two PSUs available: PSU for 100V is set to a mains voltage in the range of 100V - 240V). As an option, the power supply can be expanded with an extra PSU to create a redundant power supply. If a PSU fails, the redundant configuration assures continued operation. The defective PSU can be replaced during operation.

Complete PSU redundancy will work only in one-node configuration.

In a multi-node configuration, full redundancy cannot be guaranteed. In case of PSU failure a warning is generated and all CPUs will be forced to work with the lowest frequency.


Power supply

Some configurations need two PSUs for normal operation. In this configurations a redundancy is not possible even if two PSUs are built-in. In this configurations, if one PSU failed, system can continue to work. but it goes to a throttling mode and it affects performance until replacement of the PSU.

Safety notes

V CAUTION!

● The hard disk drive must not be removed from the installation frame by anyone except a service technician.

● HDD / SSD modules must all be marked clearly so that they can be reinstalled into their original mounting locations after an upgrade. Otherwise, data may be lost.

● Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold the metallic areas or the edges of the circuit boards.

● Before removing a hard disk drive, wait for about 30 seconds until the disk has stopped spinning completely.

● When a hard disk drive is starting up, a resonant noise may be audible for a short while. This does not indicate a failure.

● Depending on the OS, you can configure the write cache settings for the hard disk drives. If a power failure should occur while the write cache is enabled, cached data may be lost.

● When disposing of, transferring, or returning a hard disk or solid state drive, wipe out the data on the drive for your own security.

● Rough handling of hard disk drives may damage the stored data. To cope with any unexpected problems, always back up important data. When backing up data to another hard disk drive, you should make backups on a file or partition basis.

● Be careful not to hit the hard disk drive or bring it into contact with metallic objects.

● Handle the device on a shock and vibration free surface.

● Do not use the device in extremely hot or cold locations, or locations with extreme temperature changes.

● Never attempt to disassemble a hard disk or solid state drive.



Hard disk drives / solid state drives

7.1 Basic information

Hard disk drives

The server enclosure can be equipped with a maximum of 24 x 2.5-inch HDD/SSDs or 12 x 3.5-inch HDD modules.

Each HDD module can accommodate an SAS/SATA hard disk drive or SSD drive with a maximum height of 1 inch. The module is connected to the SAS/SATA backplane wirelessly. This allows HDD/SSD modules to be plugged in or pulled out easily.

Six SAS/SATA hard disk drives can be controlled by the onboard SAS/SATA controller. To control further SAS/SATA hard disk drives, an additional RAID controller must be installed.

Hybrid configurations of SAS HDDs, SATA HDDs and SSDs within the same logical drive (RAID array) are not supported.

If the server enclosure has the corresponding RAID configuration, HDD modules can also be replaced during operation.

7.1.1 General equipping rules

– Solid state drives (SSDs) are always equipped before installing hard disk drives.

– Hard disk drives / solid state drives with different capacities are installed from highest to lowest capacity.

– Hard disk drives with different rotation speeds are installed from highest to lowest speed.

– When installing hard disk drives with different bus technologies (SAS or SATA), first install SAS drives and then SATA drives.

– Please refer to sections "HDD/SSD install order in the 2.5-inch chassis" on page 101 or "HDD install order in the 3.5-inch chassis" on page 110 for a complete overview of the mounting sequence.

13.3 Minimum startup configuration

If the server does not start up or other problems occur, it may be necessary to take the system down to its most basic configuration in order to isolate the defective component.

The minimum startup configuration consists of the following components and cables:

Ê Shut down the server as described in section "Shutting down the server node" on page 41.

Ê Remove the AC power cord from the cable tie and disconnect it from the system as described in section "Disconnecting the power cord" on page 42.

Ê Take the system down to its minimum startup configuration.

Ê Reconnect the AC power cord to the power supply module and secure it with a cable tie as described in section "Connecting the power cord" on page 73.

Ê Switch on the server as described in section "Switching on the server node(s)" on page 75.

V CAUTION!

Since the fan module is not included in the minimum startup configuration, the server must be shut down immediately after the diagnostic process is complete (POST phase has been passed).
