Introduction

Your PRIMERGY server is based on the latest Intel processor technology and has
space for installing four accessible drives (three 5 1/4 inch drives and one 3 1/2
inch drive) and either five non-accessible 3 1/2 inch drives of one inch height or
three of 1.6 inch height.

Of course, your PRIMERGY server has plug-and-play capability. It automatically
recognizes and installs boards, devices and drives that support this capability. If
however you want to make system settings by hand, you can do so in the easy-to­use BIOS Setup.

Security functions in the BIOS Setup and on the system board protect the data on
the server against manipulation. Additional protection is offered by the lockable
server door and an anti-theft facility.

This Operating Manual tells you how to put your server into operation and how to
operate it in daily use.

Further information on this server is provided:

• in the manual „Safety and ergonomics“

• in the Operating Manual for the monitor

• in the Technical Manual for the system board

• in the documentation of your operating system

• in the information files of your operating system (e. g. *.TXT or *.HLP)

• in the Operating Manual of Server Management and Remote TDS

• in the documentation for the boards and drives

Installing and removing drives

In the server there is space for a total of four accessible drives (three 5 1/4-inch
drives and one 3 1/2-inch drive) and five non-accessible 3 1/2-inch drives with a
bay height of one inch, or three non-accessible 3 1/2-inch drives with a bay height
of 1.6 inches. A 3 1/2 inch floppy disk drive is fitted as standard.

SCSI drives

Depending on the SCSI controller used, ultra SCSI or ultra-wide SCSI hard disk
drives can be employed. However, you should always use the SCSI controller type
suitable for the particular SCSI controller.

Note that:

• Each SCSI device must be assigned its own SCSI-ID.

• A device with activated or connected terminating resistors must always be

connected at the end of an SCSI line.

• The terminating resistor may not be activated or attached on any of the

devices connected to the middle of a SCSI cable.

IDE drives

The system BIOS supports four IDE drives, regardless of whether the system
board has one or two IDE connectors.

If the system board only has one IDE connector, you can only operate the server
with two IDE drives.

If you install or remove an IDE drive, you must amend the relevant entry for the
drive in the BIOS Setup.
