Using the System
The following sections describe how to use this system properly and safely, including
an explanation of the system power on/off sequences, what the POST program checks
in the system, and how to perform a forced power shutdown.
When using the system the following precautions should be observed:
■
Make sure you power off the system before connecting or disconnecting cables
between the system and peripheral devices. Connecting or disconnecting the cables
while the system is powered on may cause malfunction or failures within the
system. Note that this warning does not apply to hot-plug devices.
■
Check that the removable media drive access lamp is unlit before turning off the
system or ejecting the media. Doing so avoids damaging the data stored on the
media.
■
When you turn off the system, wait at least 10 seconds before turning it on again.
Cycling the power immediately may cause malfunctions or failures in the system.
■
Power off the system and unplug the power cord before relocating the system.
Moving the system while it is powered on may cause malfunctions or failures in
the system.
■
Clean the system regularly. Regular cleaning prevents failures of the system and of
its components.
■
Lightning may cause a momentary voltage drop. To prevent this problem, we
recommend you install an uninterruptible power supply unit.
■
Only use options qualified for the system. An option we did not qualify may be
installed in or connected to the system, but it may fail to operate normally or even
cause failures that will not covered by the warranty.
