 Although this Equipment featuring RAID1 is more reliable than generalsystems, it is still prone to the loss of data in the HDDs. Not only amachine failure but also an unexpected power failure or an operation
error may cause data to be lost for good. To prevent such loss of data,
implement scheduled data backup in daily operation. Also, protect thepower source from undesirable interruptions by such means as UPS.
 This Equipment is evaluated based on the specific HDD models authorized by
the Manufacturer. Replace only with specific HDD models authorized by the
Manufacturer. Otherwise, the existing data in the HDD may be lost.
Also, always observe the recommended replacement interval for HDDs (Refer to“APPENDIX HANDLING REPLACEABLE COMPONENTS”).
 When HDD1 and HDD2 are installed, their capacities must be the same. Do notinstall HDDs with different capacity.
 As a replacement HDD, do not use an HDD previously used. If you do, thisequipment may not operate properly or the data on the HDDs may be lost becauseof configuration information mismatches or other reasons.
 Since each Equipment has its own RAID1 configuration information (e.g., serial
number), you cannot swap HDDs even between two units of this Equipment.
If you dare, the stored data in the newly installed HDD will be erased with
automatic RAID1 rebuilding process due to inconsistency of the RAID1
configuration information. If you own multiple units of this Equipment, manage
use and inventory of HDDs so that they are not inadvertently mixed.
 Maintenance of a RAID1 system requires a high level of expertise. Should any
mistakes be made during the work, the data stored on the HDDs may be lost.
(Page 10-1)

S-16

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

 When RAID 1 is newly configured, RAID 1 configuration information
corresponding to only one equipment being used is recorded on the HDD.
The HDD with configuration information recorded can not be used with otherequipment, so users who use multiple equipment, should be careful not to handle
and store HDDs to not to mix.
If HDDs are mixed, the RAID 1 configuration information may be inconsistent,
the equipment may not operate normally, or the data in the HDD may be lost.
 When you build a RAID1 system from scratch, prepare two new HDDs selectedfrom the models specified and tested by HITACHI. Otherwise, the data stored on
the HDDs may be lost.
(Page 10-3)
 Never remove an HDD when the HDD status lamp of the HDD is OFF.
If you do, the data stored in the HDD gets corrupted.
 Wear cotton gloves when replacing an HDD in order to prevent problems

2.7 Controlling the Power Using the LAN
The power for this equipment can be turned on from a remote device by way of the LAN.
This section explains WOL (Wake ON LAN), which is used for turning on the power forthe equipment through the LAN. When the power is turned on by using WOL, the equipment
is started by sending a Magic Packet™ frame to the LAN interface when the standby lamp
(STBY) is on.
In the initial factory settings, this function is disabled. If you want to use this function,
follow steps 1 through 3 described in “2.7.1 Enabling the WOL (Wake ON LAN) function”
to enable the WOL function and then follow the steps below.
< NOTE >・ For information about the precautions for the network, see “PRECAUTIONS 2.

2. OPERATION

2.7.2 Turning on the power using the LAN
1. Insert the plug of the power cord into an outlet and turn on the main power. The standby
lamp (STBY) will be lit.
2. Send a Magic Packet™ frame to the built-in LAN adapter in the equipment. When thebuilt-in LAN adapter receives a Magic Packet™ frame, the power for the equipment isturned on.
You must turn on the standby lamp (STBY) in order to start the equipment through the
LAN (using WOL). If you start the equipment and you want to continue to use WOL at thenext startup, go through the shutdown process when you turn off the power.
The built-in LAN adapter in the equipment is compliant with WfM 2.0 (*1) to support
the Magic Packet™ technology. Because of this, the power for the equipment can be turnedon when a special data packet called a “Magic Packet™ frame” (*2) is received at the builtin LAN adapter.
A program for transmitting a Magic Packet™ frame does not come with the equipment.
Use a commercially available program for to transmit the Magic Packet™ frame.
(*1) Wired for Management (WfM) is a guideline regarding the hardware specifications
proposed by Intel Corporation for managing PCs on a network.
(*2) The Magic Packet™ technology has been proposed by AMD Japan, Ltd. and can bestarting a PC on a network from a remote device.
< NOTE >・ When you send a Magic Packet™ frame to the equipment, make sure you
send it to the built-in LAN adapter in the equipment. (For information about thelocation of the connector, see “1.5 Name and Function of Each Part”.) You
cannot use WOL if you send a Magic Packet™ frame to an optional LAN
adapter.
・ If you turn off the power by pressing the power switch for at least four seconds,
you cannot use WOL the next time. When you turn off the power by pressing
the power switch for at least four seconds, turn on the equipment by pressing
the power switch and go through the shutdown process to turn off the power.

2. OPERATION< About the Magic Packet™ frame >In a Magic Packet™ frame, the SOURCE ADDRESS, DESTINATION ADDRESS (theMAC address of the receiver or the MULTICAST ADDRESS including the BROADCAST
ADDRESS), CRC, and the like must meet the basic requirements of the LAN in use. The data
in a Magic Packet™ frame consists of a sequence of 16 repetitions of the MAC address of thenode. This sequence can be anywhere in the packet but it must follow a synchronization stream.
The synchronization stream is defined as 6 bytes of 0xFF. As long as the MAC address that
repeats itself 16 times targets the address of the equipment to be started, the device can receive a
BROADCAST frame.

2. OPERATION

 Precautions for mounting and using multiple LAN adapters
If multiple LAN adapters are mounted and there are frequent interrupt requests from eitherof the adapters or the amount of processed data is too large, the performance of the adapters
may not be as high as expected. (This is because an interrupt request from a LAN adapter
requires a higher CPU load compared to the amount of processed data and if multiple LAN
adapters are mounted and used, it takes a very long time for the CPU to process all interrupt
requests from the LAN adapters.)
If you mount and use multiple LAN adapters, confirm that each built-in LAN adapter andoptional adapter can perform as expected. If they do not, adjust the network load or change the
LAN adapter settings by following the procedure below. For details about each configuration
item, see the description at the bottom of the corresponding setup window.
(The display image assumes Windows® 10 but it is similar under other OS.)

2. OPERATION・DMA Coalescing
Sets an upper limit on the maximum amount of latency applied to any network packet due to direct Memory
Access(DMA) Coalescing.

・Flow Control
This enables adapters to generate or respond to flow control frames, which help regulate
network traffic. The default setting of the flow control is different depending on the OS
and the type of LAN adapter in use. You must configure the flow control setting according
to the network you are using.

< NOTE >・ If the LAN driver stops due to a system failure such as an OS deadlock,broadcast frames from other devices may not be able to be processed and thereceive queue may get full.
If Rx Enabled or Rx & Tx Enabled is specified for Flow Control, flow control
frames are continuously sent from this equipment under such a condition. If
this happens, that may affect the whole network connected to the equipment.
Specify Disabled for Flow Control at this equipment or at the connected hub
as required.
・ If Disabled is specified for Flow Control and if the device receives frames
quicker than it can process, the device gets overloaded, and the frames
receive will be discarded until the device recovers from the overload condition.
You have to design the network appropriately to avoid such an overload
condition.

Turning off SNP (Scalable Networking Pack)
The purpose of SNP is to reduce the processor load by delegating TCP-related processing to
the network adapter. SNP is made of the following three features.
・ TCP Chimney Offload
・ Receive Side Scaling (RSS)・ Network Direct Memory Access (NetDMA)
Unfortunately, if the system in Windows® is used with SNP turned on, processing the
network may become unstable, or the network performance may be reduced when you use the
network in specific ways. This is why SNP is disabled in this equipment.
In Windows® 10 and Windows Server® 2016, TCP Chimney Offload and Network Direct
Memory Access are not supported by OS, so that we set only Receive Side Scaling (RSS) forinvalidity.

8.2 Collecting a Memory Dump
When one of the errors in Table 8-1 occurs, this equipment records the contents of thesystem memory in a file (memory dump file). Then a blue screen appears and a STOP error
code is displayed. By analyzing the data in this memory dump file, you can investigate thecause of the failure.
Table 8-2

Error That Trigger a Memory Dump
Description
When the OS hangs, press the reset switch or input a remote reset
signal to the external contact RMTRESET (*1).
Then a memory dump is collected.
Hardware NMI
When a severe failure (such as uncorrectable memory error or a PIC
bus parity check error) occurs in the hardware of this equipment, anon- maskable interrupt (NMI) is generated and a memory dump iscollected.
Microsoft® Windows®
When a fatal error occurs in the Microsoft® Windows® kernel, a
STOP error
memory dump is collected.
(*1) Do not input a remote reset signal continuously to the RMTRESET external contact.
If you do, this equipment cannot collect a memory dump.
Cause
Forced recovery from OShang

For details about the displayed STOP error code, see “9.3 STOP Error Codes”.
To select the memory dump file type, open System in Control Panel. You can select from thefollowing five types defined below (In the case of Windows® 7, you can select from the three
types except “Automatic memory dump” and “Active memory dump”). Because the memory
dump file type determines how far you can analyze the failure by using the dump file, we
recommend selecting “Complete memory dump” whenever you can. The factory default is“Complete memory dump”.
・Complete memory dump : The entire contents of system memory is recorded. The bootvolume (*2) must have enough free space to hold a paging fileequal to the size of the physical memory plus 1 MB.
・Kernel memory dump
: The kernel memory is recorded. The boot volume (*2) must haveenough free space to hold a paging file about one third the sizeof the physical memory.
・Minimum memory dump : The minimum information necessary for identifying what caused
the equipment to stop is recorded. The boot volume (*2) musthave enough free space to hold a paging file of more than 2 MB.
・Automatic memory dump: Similarly to the kernel memory dump, the kernel memory isrecorded. The difference from the kernel memory dump is that
the Auto memory dump can make the initial paging file small
from the physical memory size.
・Active memory dump
: The contents of the memory assigned to a virtual machine arefiltered, and the contents of the memory used in the Hyper-V
hosts are recorded only. The active memory dump can make therecorded memory dump file smaller than the complete memory
dump.
(*2) The boot volume is a volume that contains Windows® files and Windows® support files.
8-6

8. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONSIn order to collect a complete memory dump file, you need a memory dump file of a size
comparable to the capacity of the physical memory. In addition, the virtual memory (page file)and memory dump settings must be the ones recommended for this equipment (*3).
(*3) This means the settings in the Advanced system settings in the Control Panel are as
follows. These settings are preset in this equipment when the equipment is shipped fromthe factory.
・In the Startup and Recovery, Complete memory dump is selected as memory dump
type.
・In the Startup and Recovery, Overwrite any existing file is selected.
・In the Performance, the Initial size and Maximum size of the virtual memory is thephysical memory size plus 300MB.
When an incident occurs that triggers a memory dump or the reset switch is pressed, theprocess that triggers a memory dump is started after the window called “blue screen” isdisplayed.
< NOTE >・ The time required for collecting a memory dump depends on the type of dump
file collected, the configuration of the mounted drives, and the memory capacity.
It should be noted that if you keep the factory setting, “Complete memorydump”, for the memory dump file type, the time required may be extremely long.
・After “Beginning dump of physical memory” is displayed on the blue screen, thecount on the screen that shows the progress of the memory dump sometimes
stops being updated. This is because collection of the memory dump failed due
to an error of the file system or a hard disk.
If this happens, record the first five lines of the STOP message screen. Thenpress the reset switch or turn the power off and then back on to restart theequipment.

logsave - Collecting log information<Syntax>logsave [-e file name][Directory]<Feature>
The logsave command saves the data used for preventive maintenance and post-failure
analysis of problems. The data is compressed and recorded as one file (File name:logsave.zip).
The following options are available for this command. If no options are specified, the logsave
directory, is created under the system drive (usually C:¥) and the data is saved under that
directory.
-e File name: The data previously saved by the logsave command will be decompressed.
For the file name, specify the absolute path of the file you want to decompress.
If this option is not used, the logsave command will save the data.
Directory:
When the -e option is not used, specify the directory where you want to store
the saved data. If this option is not used, a directory, the logsave directory, iscreated under the system drive (usually C:¥) and the data is saved under that
directory.
When the -e option is used, specify the directory where you want to store thedecompressed data. If this option is not used, the data is decompressed under
the current directory.

Disk area allocation command for saving a memory dump (createdmp)<Name>
createdmp - Reserving a disk area for a memory dump file
<Syntax>
createdmp<Feature>
The createdmp command creates a vacant memory dump file beforehand and reserves thedisk area for a memory dump in order to prevent the situation where collecting a memory dump
fails because the disk capacity is insufficient. By using this command, you can avoid a failure incollecting a memory dump caused by a lack of disk capacity.
The createdmp command reserves a disk area if the following conditions are met. If thoseconditions are not met, the command terminates with an error. Make sure that the memory
dump settings are appropriate and then retry this command. For information about how to set up
the memory dump settings, see “8.2.2 Configuring settings related to a memory dump”.

10. RAID1

CHAPTER 10 RAID1
10.1 What is RAID1
This chapter describes how to manage the RAID1 feature.
Note that only HDDs (hard disk drives) are used as a drive for this equipment.
The screen images shown in this chapter are the ones for Windows Server® 2016, but thedisplayed contents are basically the same for other OS.

NOTICE
Although this Equipment featuring RAID1 is more reliable than generalsystems, it is still prone to the loss of data in the HDDs. Not only a machine
failure but also an unexpected power failure or an operation error may cause
data to be lost for good. To prevent such loss of data, implement scheduled
data backup in daily operation. Also, protect the power source fromundesirable interruptions by such means as UPS.
 This Equipment is evaluated based on the specific HDD models authorized by
the Manufacturer. Replace only with specific HDD models authorized by the
Manufacturer. Otherwise, the existing data in the HDD may be lost. Also,
always observe the recommended replacement interval for HDDs (Refer to“APPENDIX HANDLING REPLACEABLE COMPONENTS”).
 When HDD1 and HDD2 are installed, their capacities must be the same. Do
not install HDDs with different capacity.
 As a replacement HDD, do not use an HDD previously used. If you do, thisequipment may not operate properly or the data on the HDDs may be lost
because of configuration information mismatches or other reasons.
 Since each Equipment has its own RAID1 configuration information (e.g., serial
number), you cannot swap HDDs even between two units of this Equipment. If
you dare, the stored data in the newly installed HDD will be erased with
automatic RAID1 rebuilding process due to inconsistency of the RAID1
configuration information. If you own multiple units of this Equipment, manage
use and inventory of HDDs so that they are not inadvertently mixed.
● Maintenance of a RAID1 system requires a high level of expertise. Should any
mistakes be made during the work, the data stored on the HDDs may be lost.

10-1

10. RAID1

RAID1 (Redundant Array of Independent Disks Level 1) is a technology generally referred
to as "Disk mirroring". The RAID1 is the Disk mirroring by the RAID controller. The RAID1
constructs the system that two HDDs are combined and managed as one RAID1 system(array). Should one HDD fail, you can read correct data from the other HDD. RAID1 uses two
HDDs but the capacity available is only equal to the capacity of one HDD.

10-2

10. RAID1

10.2 Setup
10.2.1 Overview of Setup
The RAID controller of this equipment lets a device recognize two HDDs as one HDD.
In addition, the handling of RAID1 reaches only with an RAID controller.
Therefore, BIOS, the OS, the device driver to control an RAID controller are unnecessary.
Because it is recognized as normal SATA HDD, as for the equipment,
the installation of software for RAID controller is unnecessary at the time of setup.

10.2.2 Newly setting up RAID1NOTICE
When RAID 1 is newly configured, RAID 1 configuration information
corresponding to only one equipment being used is recorded on the HDD.
The HDD with configuration information recorded can not be used with otherequipment, so users who use multiple equipment, should be careful to handle
and store HDDs to not to mix.
If HDDs are mixed, the RAID 1 configuration information may be inconsistent,
the equipment may not operate normally, or the data in the HDD may be lost.
 When you build a RAID1 system from scratch, prepare two new HDDs
selected from the models specified and tested by HITACHI. Otherwise, thedata stored on the HDDs may be lost.

To build a new RAID1 system on the Equipment, follow the procedure below.
This procedure is not necessary when you initially use the Equipment because a RAID1
system is factory-set.
1. Prepare two new HDDs.
2. Shut down the OS, disconnect the power cord plug from the outlet, and wait at least
one minute. Then, mount new HDDs in drive bay 1 and drive bay 2, referring to
Subsection 6.3.6, “Installing and removing an HDD” for details.
3. Turn on the Equipment by connecting the power cord plug to the outlet and pressing
the Power switch. The RAID controller automatically detects mounting of the new
HDDs and writes the RAID1 configuration information to both of these HDDs.
4. Install the OS using the Recovery DVD. (Refer to “CHAPTER7 RESTORING THE
FACTORY-SHIPPED CONDITION USING A RECOVERY DVD”.)

10.5 Preventive Maintenance10.5.1 Creating a Backup HDD

NOTICE● Wear cotton gloves when replacing an HDD in order to prevent failure causedby static electricity. If you do not, the data stored on the HDD may getcorrupted.
● Make sure you check the correct procedure before you start the work. If you do
not follow the correct procedure, the data stored on the HDD may be lost.
RAID1 is more reliable compared to a system with a conventional configuration.
Nevertheless, the data stored on the HDDs may be lost due to human error or other reasons.
If you create a backup HDD, you can recover from such data loss. (Note that you can only
restore to the point of backup.) We recommend that you prepare a brand-new HDD oranother properly prepared HDD for backup and use it to back up the data periodically. Follow
the procedure below, and create a backup HDD.
< NOTICE >・The following is the procedure for the HDD mounted in drive bay 1. When you
make a backup HDD from the HDD mounted to drive bay 2, interpret drive bay 1
as drive bay 2.
・When a replacement HDD is installed, its capacity must be the same as thecapacity of the HDD1.
1. Shut down the OS. Unplug the plug of the power cord from the outlet, and wait for at least
one minute. Then replace the HDD mounted in drive bay 1 with a replacement HDD.
(See "6.3.6 Installing and removing an HDD".)
2. Store the removed HDD in a safety place as a backup HDD.
3. Turn on the power to the equipment. Then the RAID board automatically detects that abrand-new HDD is mounted and starts the rebuild process. Confirm that the HDD1 statuslamp is flashing.
4. The OS starts while the rebuild process is continuing. The time it takes to rebuild depends on
the application being run during the rebuild. Therefore, refrain from running applications
until the rebuild is completed.
If you do not want to start the OS, turn on the equipment and press the F2 key while thesystem initialization message is displayed to launch the BIOS setup menu.
5. When the HDD1 status lamp turns off, the rebuild process is complete. In the Hardware
