PREPARING YOUR SYSTEM FOR UPGRADE
Note the followings, when installing or replacing devices, to improve the performance of NEC
Express5800/ft series.
With the NEC Express5800/ft series server, devices can be replaced during the continuous
operation. Take extreme care for electric shock and damage to the component due to
short-circuit.
Optional devices cannot be installed or removed during continuous operation. Normally,
shutdown the OS, check that the server is powered off, disconnect all power cords and
interface cables from the server before installing or removing the optional devices.
To remove the CPU or PCI module during the continuous operation, disable the intended
module (place the module off-line) by using the ft server utility of the NEC ESMPRO
Agent or the NEC ESMPRO Manager from the management PC on the network. After a
new module is installed to the server, enable the module using the ft server utility or the
NEC ESMPRO Manager.
TIPS: The system is defaulted to automatically boot the module, once installed. This
setting can be changed with the ft server utility or the NEC ESMPRO Manager. For more
information, see Chapter 5.
Make sure to provide the same hardware configuration on both groups.
Use the same slots and sockets on both groups.
Do not install those devices having different specifications, performance, or features.
Before removing the setscrews from the CPU and PCI modules, place the desired module
off-line using the ft server utility or the NEC ESMPRO Manager.
When replacing the CPU or PCI module, wait more than 5 minutes after removing it to
mount a new module.
