Maintenance

This chapter describes the daily maintenance of the CPU blade and precautions when relocating or
storing it.

MAKING BACKUP COPIES

NEC recommends you make backup copies of your valuable data on a regular basis. For backup
storage devices suitable for the CPU blade and backup tools, consult with your service
representative.
When you have changed the hardware configuration or BIOS configuration, select "System
Information Management" and then "Save" in the Off-line Maintenance Utility to make a backup
copy of the system information.
Also, make a backup copy of the disk array configuration data if your system has an array
configuration. When your hard disk drives are rebuilt due to a failure, it is recommended to make a
backup copy of the configuration data. To make a backup copy of the configuration data, refer to the
manual that comes with the disk array controller.
