The "NEC EXPRESSBUILDER" DVD is to be used when setting up (or resetting up) your server, therefore
store them in a designated place. We recommend you to print out the "User's Guide" stored in the
"NEC EXPRESSBUILDER" DVD and read it along with this guide before setting up your server. See the
"NEC EXPRESSBUILDER" on the rear face of this guide.
Blade Enclosure
The blade enclosure is the rack mount chassis exclusively used to be equipped with CPU blades and power supply unit. The blade enclosure is installed in the NEC rack
or NEC-recommended rack conforming to the EIA standard.
Refer to blade enclosure User's Guide for detail.
CPU Blade
The CPU blade can be equipped with memory module and additional board.
For options, refer to Chapter 9 of the User's Guide stored in the provided DVD-

Make sure that the blade enclosure does not contain any CPU blade.
Install the blade enclosure in the rack. Then, install the CPU blade in the
blade enclosure.
Refer to Chapter 2 of the User's Guide stored in DVD-ROM.
<Installation of CPU blades>
(1) If an optional slot cover is installed
on the slot on which the CPU blade
is to be installed, remove it. Unlock
the CPU blade by holding the lever
at the front, pull out the CPU blade,
and then remove the slot cover.
Keep the removed slot cover for future use.
Do not remove the slot cover from any other slot.
Read this Guide First.
Getting Started describes the procedures necessary for running the
server after you unpack the product. Follow these steps to complete
your installation successfully.
Do not disconnect/connect the power plug while your hands are wet.

GUIDE AND WARNING LABELS" and
Never attempt to disassemble, repair, or alter the server on any
"SAFETY INDICATION"
occasion other than described in this User's Guide.
At least four persons are required to carry the blade enclosure. Firmly hold the handle on the blade
enclosure while carrying the blade enclosure.
Do not install the server in dusty, humid, smoke or oily place. Also avoid installing the server in a place
exposed to direct sunlight.
Use the power cord that comes with your blade enclosure or NEC-specified power cord.
Plug in to a proper power source.
Do not install the enclosure where you need an extension cord.
(2) Gently put the CPU blade on the
clean, rigid, and flat desk. Loosen
the screw of the ejector to allow the
ejector to be opened.
(3) Hold the frame of the CPU blade so
that its MP connector faces the
Blade Enclosure and the hard disk
drive downward.
Do not hold the ejector to install the CPU blade in the Blade Enclosure.
The ejector may be disengaged from the CPU blade that causes the CPU
blade to fall down. Or, the ejector may be bent that causes damage to
the CPU blade.
(4) Align the frame of the CPU blade with
the guide rails of the blade enclosure,
and insert the CPU blade into the end
of blade enclosure slowly and
carefully.
