Chapter 9 Operation and Maintenance
9.1 Daily Maintenance
This section explains how to check the status of the operating server, as well as how
to perform daily maintenance.
9.1.1 Checking the Server Condition
Use the status LED or server monitoring tool to check the server status.
■ Checking Each LED
This server is equipped with LEDs that display various hardware conditions.
Check the server status via each LED after starting the server. For positions and functions of each status
LED, refer to "1.3 Component Names and Functions" ( pg.22).
■ Server Monitoring Tool (ServerView)
ServerView is software to monitor that the server hardware is in a normal state to protect important
server resources. When using ServerView, the server hardware is monitored all the time. If an error that
could cause trouble is detected, the administrator is notified in real-time for early detection. This allows
the server administrator to remove a system error early and avoid trouble.
For an overview and installation of ServerView and other high reliability tools, refer to "1.2.2 High
Reliability Tools" ( pg.19) and "Chapter 6 High Reliability Tools" ( pg.167).
9.1.2 Cleaning
Clean the server and optional devices periodically to prevent failures.
■ Cleaning the Server
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stains that do not come off with a dry cloth, wipe with a cloth lightly
dampened with a mild detergent. Once the stain has been removed, wipe off any remaining detergent
with a cloth dampened with water. When wiping the server, be sure that no moisture enters the server
machine.
Do not use solvents. Use a mild detergent only. Otherwise, the server may be damaged.
Use a vacuum cleaner periodically to prevent dust buildup in ventilation holes.
In dusty environments, dust piles up on the front and rear panels of the server over short periods.
Install the server in a different location to avoid failures.
• Before cleaning, turn off the server and unplug the power cables from the
outlets. Also power off peripherals and disconnect them from the server.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock ( "1.4.3 Turning Off the Server"
(pg.33)).
