To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment,
observe the following precautions.
*HQHUDOꢀ3UHFDXWLRQV
Observe the following general precautions for using and working with your system:
‡
Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any Dell product except as
explained in your Dell system documentation. Opening or removing covers that
are marked with the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt may expose you to
electrical shock. Components inside these compartments should be serviced
only by a Dell authorized service technician.
‡
If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical
outlet and replace the part or contact your Dell authorized service provider:
—
—
—
The power cable, extension cord, or plug is damaged.
An object has fallen into the product.
The product has been exposed to water.
vi
—
—
The product has been dropped or damaged.
The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating
instructions.
‡
‡
Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do
not block cooling vents.
Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the
product in a wet environment. If the computer gets wet, see the appropriate
chapter in your troubleshooting guide or contact a Dell-authorized service
provider.
‡
Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing so
can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
‡
‡
Use the product only with Dell products or other Dell-approved equipment.
Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal
components.
‡
Use the correct external power source. Operate the product only from the type
of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the
type of power source required, consult your Dell service provider or local power
company.
‡
To help avoid damaging your system components, be sure the voltage selection
switch (if provided) on the power supply is set to match the power available at
your location:
—
115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan
—
—
100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan
230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
Also be sure that your monitor and attached peripherals are electrically rated to
operate with the power available in your location.
‡
Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power
cable for your computer or storage system or for any AC-powered option
intended for your system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your
country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and
current marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current
rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
‡
‡
To help prevent electric shock, plug the system components and peripheral
power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are
equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use
adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an
extension cord, use a three-wire cord with properly grounded plugs.
Observe extension cord and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere
rating of all products plugged into the extension cord or power strip does not
exceed 80 percent of the extension cord or power strip ampere ratings limit.
vii
‡
‡
Do not use appliance/voltage converters or kits sold for appliances with your Dell
product.
To help protect your system components from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or un-
interruptible power supply (UPS).
‡
‡
‡
‡
Position cables and power cords carefully; route cables and the power cord and
plug so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests
on your system components’ cables or power cord.
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your
power company for site modifications. Always follow your local/national wiring
rules.
To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds after turning
off the system before removing a component from the system board or discon-
necting a peripheral device from the computer.
Handle batteries carefully. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external
contacts, dispose of in fire or water, or expose batteries to temperatures higher
than 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit). Do not attempt to open or ser-
vice batteries; replace batteries only with batteries designated for the product.
‡
Turn down the volume before using headphones or other audio devices.

it, do not remove enclosure covers, attempt to override the safety interlocks, or
access any components inside the system. Depending on your system, installa-
tion and repairs may be done only by individuals who are qualified to service your
computer or storage system equipment and trained to deal with products capa-
ble of producing hazardous energy levels.
‡
When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, if
offered with your Dell product, observe the following guidelines:
—
Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power
supply.
—
—
Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.
If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the sys-
all
tem by unplugging power cables from the power supplies.
‡

NOTE: Dell’s server and storage systems are certified as components for use in Dell’s
rack cabinet using the Dell customer rack kit. The final installation of Dell systems and
rack kits in any other brand of rack cabinet has not been approved by any safety agen-
cies. It is the customer’s responsibility to have the final combination of Dell systems
and rack kits for use in other brands of rack cabinets evaluated for suitability by a certi-
fied safety agency.
‡
System rack kits are intended to be installed in a Dell rack by trained service tech-
nicians. If you install the kit in any other rack, be sure that the rack meets the
specifications of a Dell rack.
‡
‡
Do not move large racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the rack,
Dell recommends a minimum of two people to accomplish this task.
Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secure to the rack,
extend to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install
front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple
racks before working on the rack.
‡
‡
Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack
first.
Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from
the rack.
‡
‡
Extend only one component at a time from the rack.
Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a com-
ponent into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
‡
‡
After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking
position, and then slide the component into the rack.
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The
total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
‡
‡
Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
Do not step on or stand on any system/component when servicing other
systems/components in a rack.

1. Turn off your computer and any peripherals.
2. Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis, such as
the metal around the card-slot openings at the back of the computer, before
touching anything inside your computer.
While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer
chassis to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components.
x
3. Disconnect your computer and peripherals from their power sources. Also, dis-
connect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.
Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.
In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:
‡
‡
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not
on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are dis-
connecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting
the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bend-
ing any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure that both
connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
Handle components and cards with care. Don’t touch the components or con-
tacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a
component such as a microprocessor chip by its edges, not by its pins.

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent
static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of
your computer’s electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so
by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.
As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an unpainted metal
surface to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge
(ESD):
‡
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not
remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to
install the component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic
packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
‡
‡
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container
or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic
floor pads and workbench pads.
The following notice may appear throughout this document to remind you of these
precautions:

For comfort and efficiency, observe the following ergonomic guidelines when you set
up and use your computer system:
‡
Position your system so that the monitor and keyboard are directly in front of you
as you work. Special shelves are available (from Dell and other sources) to help
you correctly position your keyboard.
‡
‡
‡
Set the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance (usually 510 to 610 millimeters
[20 to 24 inches] from your eyes).
Make sure that the monitor screen is at eye level or slightly lower when you sit in
front of the monitor.
Adjust the tilt of the monitor, its contrast and brightness settings, and the lighting
around you (such as overhead lights, desk lamps, and the curtains or blinds on
nearby windows) to minimize reflections and glare on the monitor screen.
‡
‡
Use a chair that provides good lower back support.
Keep your forearms horizontal with your wrists in a neutral, comfortable position
while you use the keyboard or mouse.
‡
‡
‡
‡
Always leave space to rest your hands while you use the keyboard or mouse.
Let your upper arms hang naturally at your sides.
Sit erect, with your feet resting on the floor and your thighs level.
When sitting, make sure the weight of your legs is on your feet and not on the
front of your chair seat. Adjust your chair’s height or use a footrest, if necessary,
to maintain proper posture.
‡
Vary your work activities. Try to organize your work so that you do not have to
type for extended periods of time. When you stop typing, try to do things that
use both hands.

The filer was shipped with a CD and system boot diskettes. Because system software
has been installed at the factory, you don’t need the CD or system boot diskettes to
install or configure a new filer.

The Setup Wizard provides an easy to use Web-based method of configuring the
basic settings for a new filer.
The configuration method using the setupcommand is different from the Setup
Wizard configuration method in these ways:
‡
Uses command-line installation and configuration commands to install and con-
figure the new filer
‡
Provides limited on-line help
The Setup Wizard uses the network and a Web browser to perform the initial basic
setup for filers, eliminating the need for the command-line setup. The Setup Wizard
contains context-sensitive help for each field on each page.
After you finish the basic configuration, you can use the Web-based FilerView™ tool
to complete other types of configurations you might need on this filer. FilerView also
uses the network and a Web browser to perform general management tasks.
3UHUHTXLVLWHVꢀWRꢀ8VLQJꢀWKHꢀ6HWXSꢀ:L]DUG
The Setup Wizard needs an IP address to begin the configuration process, which you
can obtain using either of the following methods:
‡
‡
An existing Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on your network
during initial boot of the new filer.
If the filer can’t find or obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, the normal
setupscript, using a console connected to the filer, prompts you for several
pieces of information, including an IP address, and then asks whether you want
to use the Setup Wizard. This method works with any filer; however, you must
have a console connected to the filer for the initial few pieces of setup
information.

To configure a new filer for the first time, perform the following steps. Some of the
procedures are optional, depending on the filer options that you purchased.
1. Set up DHCP.
If you want to use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to configure
e0
the filer’s onboard interface ( ), follow the instructions in "Using DHCP With the
Filer."
Using DHCP to assign an IP address to a filer enables you to use a Telnet client to
complete the first-time configuration, rather than having to attach a serial console
to the filer to complete the configuration.
2. Add the filer to a Windows NT domain.
If you purchased a license for the CIFS protocol for your filer and you plan to add
the filer to a Windows NT domain, see "Adding the Filer to a Windows NT
Domain" in Appendix C.
3. Configure the filer.
Configure your filer according to the instructions in "Configuring the Filer."
4. Verify the filer’s network connections.
Verify that the filer is communicating on the network by following the instructions
in "Verifying Network Connections."
5. Configure HTTP service.
If you purchased a license for the HTTP protocol for your filer, configure the HTTP
options as described in Chapter 6, "Configuring HTTP on the Filer."
6. Set up passwdand groupfiles.

If you purchased a license for the CIFS protocol for your filer and you are not
using a Windows NT domain controller to authenticate users, configure passwd
and groupfiles according to the instructions in Chapter 7, "Setting Up passwd
and group Files."
7. Configure CIFS shares.
If you purchased a license for the CIFS protocol for your filer, configure CIFS
shares so that users can access directories on the filer.
8. Configure clients to access the filer.
You must configure clients according to the instructions in Chapter 9, "Configur-
ing Clients to Access the Filer," so that they can access information on the filer.
9. Install the SecureShare program on CIFS clients.
If you purchased a license for the CIFS protocol for your filer, you can install the
SecureShare program on Windows clients according to the instructions in Chap-
ter 10, "setup Command — Installing SecureShare," This enables users to view
and modify the UNIX permissions and attributes on files stored on the filer.
10. Learn about the Data ONTAP 5.3 software.
Read Chapter 1, "Filer Features and Software."

From a Windows NT or Windows 9x client, you must install the files from the CD to
the filer by performing the following steps.
NOTE: CIFS must be licensed and configured on the filer. To register the CIFS license,
enter the following commands from the filer console:
filer>license cifs=<license number>
where <license number>is the provided CIFS license.
filer>cifs setup
To access the system files from the CD and install them on the filer, perform the fol-
lowing steps:
1. As the Domain Administrator from a Windows client, right-click My Computer
and click Map Network Drive.
2. In the Map Drive dialog box that appears, select an unused drive letter.
3. In the Path field of the dialog box, enter a path similar to the following example:

4. Insert the CD in the CD-ROM drive, and from the root directory of the CD, run the
setup.bat
file to begin the installation process.
5. After viewing the Welcome screen and the software license agreement screen,
specify a destination folder (this folder is the mapped, root-level directory of the
filer).
You must accept the license agreement to continue with this procedure.
The Browse option allows this mapping to be specified.
6. Select the appropriate setup installation method.
Typical — installs Data ONTAP 5.3 operating system and local help files.
Compact — installs Data ONTAP 5.3.
Custom — allows you to select from the available components and install.
7. Once the files have been copied to the filer, enterdownloadat the filer’s console
to complete the installation.

When you configure the CIFS protocol, you must choose whether the filer uses PC-
style or UNIX-style permissions.
NOTE: If you are setting up a filer in a Windows NT-only environment, you can skip
this section.
This section provides a brief overview of PC-style and UNIX-style permissions and
provides guidelines for choosing which style to use. PC-style permissions are similar
to FAT (File Allocation Table); they maintain security with share level ACLs (Access
Control Lists).
In addition, PC-style permissions also allow you to further restrict file security using
file permissions. UNIX-style permissions do not use share level ACLs. Therefore,
using PC-style permissions only affects PC access to files with UNIX security.
Preparing for CIFS Configuration C-3
+RZꢀ3&ꢁ6W\OHꢀ3HUPLVVLRQVꢀ:RUN
PC-style permissions are determined by the rights assigned in a share’s ACL and are
limited by the UNIX permissions assigned to a file. To write to a file when PC-style
permissions are in effect, a user must meet the following criteria:
‡
‡
The user must have write permission for the file in the ACL.
The user must have write permission for the file according to the UNIX-style per-
missions associated with the file.
If the user is the owner of the file, the filer uses the UNIX-style permissions set
for the owner of the file. If the user is not the owner of the file, the filer uses the
UNIX-style permissions set for the UNIX group associated with the file. Note that
the UNIX "other" permissions are not used.
:KHQꢀWRꢀ&KRRVHꢀ3&ꢁ6W\OHꢀ3HUPLVVLRQV
Choose PC-style permissions if you need file access to be controlled by ACLs.
+RZꢀ81,;ꢁ6W\OHꢀ3HUPLVVLRQVꢀ:RUN
UNIX-style permissions are determined by the rights associated with the UNIX UID
and GID and are limited by the ACL permissions assigned to a file. To write to a file
when UNIX-style permissions are in effect, a user must meet the following criteria:
‡
‡
If the user is the owner of the file, the write permission for the user’s UID must
be set.
If the user is not the owner of the file, he or she must be a member of the group
(GID) associated with the file and the write permission for the group’s GID must
be set.
‡
The user must have write permission for the file in the ACL.
:KHQꢀWRꢀ&KRRVHꢀ81,;ꢁ6W\OHꢀ3HUPLVVLRQV
Choose UNIX-style permissions if you want to implement simple security and need
access to be controlled using exact UNIX rules.
NOTE: If you choose UNIX-style permissions, set the share ACL permission to
rwx
for . With this setting, the UNIX rights work just as they do on a UNIX

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free space or
conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the functioning of a radio navi-
gation or other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly
interrupts a licensed radio communications service. Radio communications services
include but are not limited to AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular ser-
vices, radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal Communication Services (PCS).
These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices,
including computer systems, contribute to the electromagnetic environment.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic equipment to
function properly together in the electronic environment. While this computer system
has been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory agency limits for
EMI, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause interference with radio communications services, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
‡
‡
‡
‡
Reorient the receiving antenna.
Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver.
Move the computer away from the receiver.
Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and the receiver
are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, consult a Technical Support representative of Dell Computer Corporation
or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. You may find
FCC Interference Handbook, 1986
, to be helpful. It is available from the U.S. Gov-
the
ernment Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00450-7 or on
the World Wide Web at http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Compliance/WWW/
tvibook.html.
Dell computer systems are designed, tested, and classified for their intended electro-
magnetic environment. These electromagnetic environment classifications generally
refer to the following harmonized definitions:
‡
‡
Class A is typically for business or industrial environments.
Class B is typically for residential environments.
Regulatory Notices E-1
Information Technology Equipment (ITE), including peripherals, expansion cards, print-
ers, input/output (I/O) devices, monitors, and so on, that are integrated into or
connected to the system should match the electromagnetic environment classifica-
tion of the computer system.

Most Dell computer systems are classified by the Federal Communications Commis-
sion (FCC) as Class B digital devices. However, the inclusion of certain optionscan
change the rating of some configurations to Class A. To determine which classification
applies to your computer system, examine all FCC registration labels located on the
bottom or back panel of your computer, on card-mounting brackets, and on the cards
themselves. If any one of the labels carries a Class A rating, your entire system is con-
all
sidered to be a Class A digital device. If labels carry an FCC Class B rating as
distinguished by either an FCC ID number or the FCC logo, (
sidered to be a Class B digital device.

Your computer system uses a lithium-ion battery. The lithium-ion battery is a long-life
battery, and it is very possible that you will never need to replace it. However, should
you need to replace it, refer to your service manual for instructions.
Do not dispose of the battery along with household waste. Contact your local waste
disposal agency for the address of the nearest battery deposit site.
NOTE: Your system may also include circuit cards or other components that contain
batteries. These batteries must also be disposed of in a battery deposit site. For infor-
mation about such batteries, refer to the documentation for the specific card or
component.

Most Dell computer systems are classified by the Voluntary Control Council for Inter-
ference (VCCI) as Class B information technology equipment (ITE). However, the
inclusion of certain options can change the rating of some configurations to Class A.
ITE, including peripherals, expansion cards, printers, input/output (I/O) devices, moni-
tors, and so on, integrated into or connected to the system, should match the
electromagnetic environment classification (Class A or B) of the computer system.
To determine which classification applies to your computer system, examine theregu-
latory labels/markings (see Figures E-1 and E-2) located on the bottom or back panel
of your computer. Once you have determined your system’s VCCI classification, read
the appropriate VCCI notice.

This is a Class A product based on the standard of the Voluntary Control Council for

To determine which classification (Class A or B) applies to your computer system (or
other Dell digital device), examine the South Korean Ministry of Communications
(MOC) registration labels located on your computer (or other Dell digital device). The
MOC label may be located separately from the other regulatory marking applied to
your product. The English text, “EMI (A),” for Class A products, or “EMI (B)” for Class
B products, appears in the center of the MOC label (see Figures E-3 and E-4).
NOTE: MOC emissions requirements provide for two classifications:
Class A devices are for business purposes.
‡
Class B devices are for nonbusiness purposes.

The equipment should draw power from a socket with an attached protection circuit (a
three-prong socket). All equipment that works together (computer, monitor, printer,
and so on) should have the same power supply source.
Regulatory Notices E-7
The phasing conductor of the room’s electrical installation should have a reserve
short-circuit protection device in the form of a fuse with a nominal value no larger than
16 amperes (A).
To completely switch off the equipment, the power supply cable must be removed
from the power supply socket, which should be located near the equipment and easily
accessible.
A protection mark “B” confirms that the equipment is in compliance with the protec-
tion usage requirements of standards PN-93/T-42107 and PN-89/E-06251.

also prepay shipping charges and insure the shipment or accept the risk of loss or
damage during shipment. You may return software for refund or credit only if the
sealed package containing the diskette(s) or CD(s) is unopened. Returned products
must be in as-new condition, and all of the manuals, diskette(s), CD(s), power cables,
and other items included with a product must be returned with it. For customers who
want to return, for refund or credit only, either applications software or an operating
system that has been installed by Dell, the whole system must be returned, along
with any media and documentation that may have been included in the original
shipment.
This “Total Satisfaction” Return Policy does not apply to DellWare products, which
may be returned under DellWare's then-current return policy. In addition, recondi-

Dell-branded hardware products shipped on or after January 1, 1997, are eligible to
carry the “NSTL Hardware Tested Year 2000 Compliant” logo by virtue of formal test-
ing with, and successful completion of, the National Software Testing Laboratories
(NSTL) YMARK2000 test.* Dell will treat a failure to pass the YMARK2000 test as a
covered event under Dell's warranty for the product, subject to the normal warranty
limitations.** For a complete copy of Dell's warranty, see the product's documenta-
tion. Dell-branded hardware products will also recognize the year 2000 as a leap year.
*The YMARK2000 standard tests the ability of system hardware and firmware to support the
transition to the year 2000 (and to recognize leap years, when appropriate, for years 2000
through 2009 inclusive) and not that of options, operating systems, or applications software.
Dell-branded hardware products that pass the YMARK2000 test conform to BSI-DISC
PD 2000-1.
** Except for this clarification of Dell's warranty for NSTL logo hardware, all other warranties,
conditions and remedies, express or implied, relating to year 2000 readiness or compliance are
disclaimed. To make a claim under this warranty for NSTL logo hardware, customers must con-
tact Dell prior to January 1, 2001.
To make a claim, write to:

Despite a system's ability to pass the YMARK2000 test, actual rollover results in specific operat-
ing environments may vary depending on other factors including, but not limited to, other
hardware, operating systems, and applications software.

For Dell-branded hardware products shipped prior to January 1, 1997, that have an
upgradable basic input/output system (BIOS), Dell makes available a BIOS upgrade.
Although these products may not have been tested under the YMARK2000 test, Dell
believes that the hardware would pass the YMARK2000 test, provided the appropri-
ate BIOS upgrade is properly loaded.
For Dell-branded hardware products that do not have an upgradable BIOS, Dell has
made available, as a convenience to customers, the Dell Program Patch, a software
utility designed to assist customers in managing the year 2000 rollover.

Dell specifically excludes all non-Dell-developed software from this compliance state-
