Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 RX600 S4
This is a rack type server with high-performance, high-reliability, and high-scalability,
having the following features.
High reliability
z
Advanced memory protection functions
This server supports the Single Device Data Correction (SDDC) function with fully-buffered memory.
For the entire memory, you can also set the memory sparing function or the memory mirroring function;
both are supported to enable data restoration when a memory error occurs.
z Disk array configuration
As a standard feature, a SAS array controller card (MegaRAID SAS) is installed in the server to
configure an array system. With the array configuration, you can continue the operation without
stopping the system even when a hard disk unit fails. (It is, however, required to replace the failed hard
disk unit as soon as possible.)
z Redundant function
The memory, internal hard disk units, power supply units, and system fans support the redundant
function.
Even when an error occurs in a power supply unit or a system fan, you can replace it without stopping
the system.
With configured disk array systems, you can replace and restore hard disk units without turning off the
server and peripheral devices when a hard disk unit in the server is failed (hot-pluggable, except of
RAID 0).
z Hardware and software designed for data security
This server is designed to provide provisions for data securities to guard the hardware and data assets
with systems, such as a lock for the rack door and a password for BIOS Setup Utility.
z Proactive fan function
Stable system operation is performed with automatically increasing the rotating speed of the system fan
to control temperature in the server as a fan fails or the ambient temperature rises.
z Hot-pluggable PCI slots
The PCI slot 1 through 4 are hot-pluggable PCI slots. If an expansion card is damaged, you can replace
the card without turning off the server and its peripheral devices (only available for Windows Server
2008 and Windows Server 2003).
14
PRIMERGY RX600 S4 User's Guide
z High reliability tools
High reliability tools, such as ServerView which is a tool for monitoring the server status, offer further
stable system operation. Refer to "1.2.2 High Reliability Tools" (
Jpg.19) for details.
High-speed processing
z
Intel® Xeon® Processor
For high-speed data processing, the server is installed with two Intel® Xeon® processors as a standard
feature, and can have up to four of them.
z PCI-Express slot
This server is equipped with PCI-Express buses with the maximum data transfer speed of 2.5Gbps
(bidirectional) per lane to enable high speed data transfer.
Excellent scalability
z
Maximum 128GB memory size
In addition to 4GB memory installed as a standard feature, the memory size can be extended up to
128GB with four memory boards.
z Maximum eight internal hard disk units
Up to eight internal hard disk units can be installed in 2.5-inch storage bays.
z Seven PCI slots
The server has seven PCI-Express slots. Functions can be added by using expansion cards.
z 5-inch internal option bay
The server has a 5-inch storage bay, and a 5-inch internal option can be installed to accommodate
increasing data.

Network configuration
z
ServerStart can configure a network on server installation.
For details on available network patterns, refer to "Using ServerStart to Configure the Network".
z Automatic driver installation
Recommended drivers for automatically recognized expansion cards are installed with the server. This
prevents possible mistakes in driver installation, such as installation of an older version or drivers which
were not supplied with this server.
z Automatic RAID configuration
Even without RAID utility, a disk array can be configured by specifying a RAID type and the number of
hard disk units.
Intuitive user interface
The intuitive user interface allows you to easily set the necessary information.
z Main window
When ServerStart starts up, the following window appears. The window and tool bar differ, depending
on the mode.

1.2.2 High Reliability Tools
High reliability tools provide comprehensive supports for stable system operations of the server. The
following tools have individual management function through normal operations to restoration from
errors:
• Server monitoring tools
• System diagnosis support tool
• LAN driver advanced setup tool
Server monitoring tools
The server monitoring tools monitor the hardware status and notify the event of an error when irregular
status occurs.
z Early detection of a server failure [ServerView]
ServerView monitors the server status to protect important server resources. The server hardware keeps
under observation all the time and a potential irregular status will be notified in timely manner when it is
detected. A corrective action can be taken in early stage and eliminate the system error before growing a
serious matter.
` For notes on ServerView security, refer to "Security" in Section "1.1.7 Note", "ServerView User's
Guide".
z Maintenance support tool [HRM/server]
HRM/server performs the server maintenance operation promptly and surely to retain stable system
operation.
z Early detection of a disk problem [RAID Management Tool]
RAID Management Tool monitors a configured disk array performance. When an event occurs, it leaves
an event log in the event viewer's application logs. At the same time, a management window indicates a
hard disk failure, rebuild status, etc.
System diagnosis support tool
The system diagnosis support tools boost device management in order to perform stable server
operation.
z Early solution to problems [DSNAP]
DSNAP is a command line utility for collectively acquiring failure analysis information. Command line
operation makes easy to set the configuration information of the system file and major registries, and
collect the event log.
When a problem occurs in your Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2003 system, DSNAP is used
for a support engineer to understand your system software configuration and settings correctly and to
promote research smoothly. Provide this with memory dump to your support engineer.
