Using This Guide

This guide provides the information necessary for upgrading firmware on your Service

Processor or troubleshooting software problems with your Service Processor.

Who Should Use This Guide

This guide is intended for system administrators and facilities personnel who are

responsible for installing and administering Express5800/A1160 server.

Symbols and Conventions

This guide uses the following text conventions and graphic symbols.

Warnings, cautions, and notes have the following meanings:

WARNING

Warnings alert you to situations that could result in serious personal injury or loss

of life.

CAUTION

Cautions indicate situations that can damage the system hardware or software.

Note: Notes give important information about the material being described.

Names of keyboard keys are printed as they appear on the keyboard. For example,

Ctrl, Alt, or Enter.

Text or keystrokes that you enter appear as boldface type. For example, type

abc123 and press ENTER.

File names are printed in uppercase letters. For example, AUTOEXEC.BAT.

Safety Notices

WARNING

To avoid a risk of injuries, maintenance procedures require trained technical

personnel.

In maintenance procedures with voltages of 42.4V peak or 60Vdc or more, take

safety measures, such as wearing insulated rubber gloves. Performing work

without these measures may cause electric shock.

In an emergency, such as a dangerous event that requires turning off the power

supply, turn off the breaker at the rear of the server. Turning off the breaker may

cause data destruction. Therefore, users should determine when to turn off the

breaker in accordance with specified operation criteria.

The server is equipped with a front stabilizer. Engage the front stabilizer during

installation. For stability and to distribute the weight, also attach side stabilizers.

Otherwise, the rack may topple over and cause injuries.

If you extend two or more devices from the rack at the same time, the rack may

topple over on you. Extend only one device from the rack at a time.

Exercise great care not to hurt your fingers on the rail when you mount/dismount

the equipment into/from the rack.

Lithium batteries can be dangerous. Improper handling of lithium batteries may

result in an explosion. Dispose of lithium batteries as required by local ordinance.

Replace only with the same or equivalent type battery.

A liquid crystal display is used in this server. When handling a damaged liquid

crystal display, take care to avoid exposure to the liquid inside the liquid crystal

display. The liquid can cause bodily harm. In the event the liquid is ingested,

gargle at once and consult a doctor immediately. If the liquid comes in contact

with skin or gets into the eyes, wash the skin with cool running water, or flush the

eye with cool running water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.

The DVD-ROM drive uses a laser beam. Do not look or insert a mirror inside

while the system is on. A laser beam is invisible; if your eyes get exposed to it,

there is a risk of losing your eyesight.

Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack

assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater

than the room ambient environment. Therefore, consideration should be given to

Safety Notices

viii

installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum rated ambient

temperature of 89.6°F.

Reduced air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the

amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

To prevent fires, and damage to rack equipment and supply wiring, make sure that the

rated load of the power branch circuit is not exceeded. Equipment nameplate ratings

should be used when addressing this concern. For more information on installation and

wiring of power-related facilities, contact your electrician or local power company.

To prevent electrical shock, connect all rack and rack support equipment to the same

electrical circuit of the building wiring. If you are unsure, check the building wiring to

avoid remote earth conditions.

For safe operation, only connect the equipment to a building supply that is in accordance

with current wiring regulations in your country. In the USA those wiring standards are

regulated by Underwriter Laboratories (UL); in the U.K. by the Institution of Electrical

Engineers, (IEE) and in Canada by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).

WARNING

Some locations within the server have high voltage and therefore are very

dangerous. To avoid risk of electric shock, turn off all server power and

disconnect power cables before working inside the server unit.

The main power of your server is turned off by turning off the power source to the

server or removing the power cable.

Before touching the parts in the server, wait for at least 10 to 15 seconds until

residual voltage is discharged.

Online maintenance – During and after servicing, do not leave the server door open

unless necessary to perform servicing.

WARNING

Take care not to short live components with conductive tools, such as an

adjustable wrench.

To prevent shock, take care not to drop or leave conductive parts, such as a

screw, in the server when servicing the system.

Be careful when accessing a fan or rotating parts to avoid cutting your hand or

fingers.

Safety inspections – When servicing the system, check equipment that can cause harm

due to deterioration, and if necessary, replace the part.

Safety Notices for Users Outside of the U.S.A. and Canada

PELV (Protected Extra-Low Voltage) Integrity: To ensure the extra-low voltage integrity

of the equipment, connect only equipment with mains-protected electrically-compatible

circuits to the external ports.

Remote Earths: To prevent electrical shock, connect all local (individual office)

computers and computer support equipment to the same electrical circuit of the building

wiring. If you are unsure, check the building wiring to avoid remote earth conditions.

Earth Bonding: For safe operation, only connect the equipment to a building supply that

is in accordance with current wiring regulations in your country. In the USA those wiring

standards are regulated by Underwriter Laboratories (UL); in the U.K., by the Institution

of Electrical Engineers, (IEE) and in Canada by the Canadian Standards Association

(CSA).
