Connecting Peripheral Devices - NEC Express5800 series User Manual

CONNECTING PERIPHERAL DEVICES

Connect peripheral devices to the server. The server is provided with connectors for wide
variety of peripheral devices on its front and rear. The figure on the next page illustrates
available peripheral devices for the server in the standard configuration and locations of the
connectors for the devices.
Observe the following instructions to use the server safely. Failure to follow
these instructions may cause a fire, personal injury, or property damage. See
pages 1-3 to 1-8 for details.
Do not connect any interface cable with the power cord of the NEC Express
Server plugged to a power source.
Do not use any unauthorized interface cable.
IMPORTANT:
Power off the server and a peripheral device before connection.
Connecting a powered peripheral device to the powered server will
cause malfunctions and failures.
To connect a third-party peripheral device or interface cable to the
server, consult with your sales agent for availability of such a device
or cable. Some third-party devices may not be used for the server.
The total length of a cable (including the connection cable in SCSI
device) is limited by the SCSI standard. Ask your sales
representative for details. (The internal cable of the server is 0.1 m
long.)
The LAN connector and the serial port 2 connector of this server
have the same shape. Be careful not to connect a cable to a wrong
connector. To prevent wrong connection, write "LAN port" on a tag
and put the tag to the connector of the LAN cable that is to be
connected to this server.
A leased line cannot be connected directly to the serial port
connectors.
Secure the power cord(s) and interface cables with a tie wrap.
Form the cables in such a way that they will not come into contact
with the door or the guide rails on the sides of the server.
Form the power cord with a slight slack at the AC inlet of the server.
This is to prevent the power cord from coming off when the server is
pulled out from the rack.
Do not apply any pressure to the plug of the power cord.
