Appendix 3: Maintenance

This chapter describes the daily maintenance of the server and precautions when
relocating or storing the server.

Making Backup Copies

We recommend you make backup copies of your valuable data stored in hard disks of
the server on a regular basis. For backup storage devices suitable for the server and
backup tools, consult with your sales agent.
When you have changed the hardware configuration or BIOS configuration, select
"System Information Management" and then "Save" of the Off-line Maintenance
Utility to make a backup copy of the system information.
Also make a backup copy of the RAID system configuration data if your system is in
the RAID system configuration. When your hard disks have been auto-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, use the configuration utility that is resident in
the FLASH memory on the optional RAID controller board. Refer to the manual
supplied with the board.
