1.3Features

Customer Self Service (CSS)

The PRIMERGY Customer Self Service (CSS) concept enables you to identify and replace the affected component yourself in the case of certain error scenarios.

In the CSS concept, you can replace the following components yourself in the event of an error:

–Hot-plug hard disk drives and solid state disks

–Hot-plug power supply units

–Hot-plug Memory modules

–Hot-plug System fans

–Expansion cards (as soon as released)

For information on replacing these components, see chapter "CSS components" on page 85.

CSS indicators on the control panel and on the back of the PRIMERGY server provide you with information if a CSS event arises (for more information on the behavior of these indicators, see chapter "Starting up and operation" on

page 57 and the "ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC" manual on the ServerView Suite DVD 2).

Your server is equipped with a ServerView Local Service Display, which enables you to identify the type of component affected by the error directly on the server (for more information, see the "ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC" manual on the ServerView Suite DVD 2).

In addition, CSS errors are displayed in the ServerView Operations Manager, the server management software from Fujitsu.

In the event of errors, the ServerView Operations Manager refers you directly to the affected component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares catalog of the server in question. (This feature is not available for the Japanese market.)

Operating Manual

RX600 S6

Preface

System board

The features of the system board are described in the "System Board D3141 for PRIMERGY RX600 S6 Technical Manual" for the hardware and in the "System Board D3141 BIOS Setup Utility for PRIMERGY RX600 S6" manual for the firmware.

Hot-plug PCI slots

The server has ten PCI-Express slots, where two of them are hot-plug slots. These hot-plug PCI-Express slots allow installation and removal of boards during operation when the operating system supports this function (for further details see section "Hot-plug expansion cards" on page 101).

Hard disk drives

The server can be equipped with up to 8 HDD/SSD modules. Each HDD/SSD module can accommodate an HDD/SSD drive with a 2.5-inch format. The modules are connected to the SAS/SATA backplane wirelessly. This allows HDD/SSD modules to be plugged in or pulled out easily.

The hard disk system is designed for SAS/SATA with one channel for each hard disk drive.

If the server has the corresponding RAID configuration, HDD/SSD modules can also be replaced during operation.

SAS/SATA controller card (optionally with RAID controller)

The SAS/SATA controller card for operating up to eight SAS/SATA hard disk drives can be alternately without or with RAID functionality. In case of RAID functionality the levels 0, 1, 1E, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are supported.

Battery Backup Units

Up to two intelligent Battery Backup Units (iBBUs) back up the memory contents of their corresponding RAID controllers in the event of power failure (option).

Accessible drives/components

A number of mounting locations are available:

–An installation slot for a ServerView Local Service Display (standard)

–An installation slot for a slimline DVD/BD drive (option)

–A 5.25-inch bay for a magnetic tape drive (option)

RX600 S6

Operating Manual

Preface

The accessible drives/components integrated in these locations cannot be replaced during operation.

Power supply

The server has up to four hot-plug power supply units that automatically switch to a mains voltage of 100 - 127 V / 200 - 240 V. This ensures redundant power supply. If one power supply unit is defective, the other(s) then guarantee(s) unimpaired operation. The faulty power supply unit can be replaced during operation (for further details see "Hot-plug power supply units" on page 87).

Cooling

Each processor has a heat sink. Further cooling for the installed processors is provided by hot-plug fans (optionally in a redundant configuration).

Temperature sensors variably adjust the fans. If a temperature sensor fails or is removed, the fans affected run at maximum speed so as to provide the greatest possible protection for the hardware.

If a fan fails, unimpaired further operation is ensured. A defective fan module can be replaced during operation (for further details see "Hot-plug fans" on page 91).

High level of availability and data security

When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors in the main memory are identified and automatically corrected with the ECC (Error Correcting Code) method. The patented memory scrubbing function regularly starts up the EDC mechanism (Error Detection Code) and thus ensures continuous data integrity.

The memory modules used support SDDC technology (Chipkill™), which further increases the effectiveness of memory error monitoring and correction.

Support is likewise provided for hot-spare memory technology, in which a memory module is used like a replacement module. If a memory module fails, the module with the defective memory is automatically deactivated and the replacement module is activated (provided it has been configured for appropriately in the BIOS). The deactivated memory module is no longer used and the faulty memory module can be replaced at the next opportunity. In order to be able to use the hot-spare memory function, all occupied DIMM slots must have an identical memory configuration.

Memory modules can be protected against failure through mirroring (memory mirroring, requires two or four memory modules).

Operating Manual

RX600 S6

Preface

ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in the event of an error and automatically "hides" the defective system components.

The PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analysis) technology from Fujitsu analyzes and monitors all components that are critical for system reliability.

The SAS/SATA controller card supports the RAID levels 0, 1, 1E, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 thus increasing system availability and reliability.

Additional reliability is provided by the hot-plug HDD/SSD modules, fans and power supply units.

RX600 S6

Preface

ServerView Remote Management

ServerView Remote Management is the remote management solution from Fujitsu for PRIMERGY servers. ServerView Remote Management and the relevant hardware components integrated on the system board allow remote monitoring and maintenance as well as fast restoration of operation in the event of errors.

Remote monitoring and maintenance avoids time-consuming and costly on-site repairs and reduces service costs. This leads to a reduction in the total cost of ownership and an excellent return on investment for the remote management solution.

The administrator can access all system information and information from the sensors such as fan speeds or voltages via the iRMC S3's Web interface (see section "iRMC S2 with integrated management LAN connector" on page 18).

You can also start the text-based or graphic console bypass (Advanced Video Redirection, AVR) and connect virtual drives as remote storage.

IMore information about the iRMC S3 can be found in the "iRMC S2/3 - integrated Remote Management Controller" user guide (on the ServerView Suite DVD 2 under Industry Standard Servers - Software - ServerView Suite - Out-Of-Band Management).

3 Important information

In this chapter you will find essential information regarding safety when working on your server.

3.1Safety instructions

IThe following safety instructions are also provided in the manual "Safety Notes and Regulations" or " ".

This device meets the relevant safety regulations for IT equipment. If you have any questions about whether you can install the server in the intended environment, please contact your sales outlet or our customer service team.

VCAUTION!

●The actions described in this manual shall be performed by technical specialists. A technical specialist is a person who is trained to install the server including hardware and software.

●Repairs to the device that do not relate to CSS failures shall be performed by service personnel. Please note that unauthorized interference with the system will void the warranty and exempt the manufacturer from all liability.

●Any failure to observe the guidelines in this manual, and any improper repairs could expose the user to risks (electric shock, energy hazards, fire hazards) or damage the equipment.

●Before installing/removing internal options to/from the server, turn off the server, all peripheral devices, and any other connected devices. Also unplug all power cords from the power outlet. Failure to do so can cause electric shock.

Operating Manual

Important information

Before starting up

VCAUTION!

●During installation and before operating the device, observe the instructions on environmental conditions for your device (see "Ambient conditions" on page 24).

●If the server has been moved from a cold environment, condensation may form both inside and on the outside of the machine.

Wait until the server has acclimatized to room temperature and is absolutely dry before starting it up. Material damage may be caused to the server if this requirement is not met.

●Only transport the server in the original packaging or in packaging that protects it from impacts and jolts.

Installation and operation

VCAUTION!

●This unit should not be operated in ambient temperatures above 35 °C.

●If the unit is integrated into an installation that draws power from an industrial power supply network with an IEC309 connector, the power supply's fuse protection must comply with the requirements for nonindustrial power supply networks for type A connectors.

●The unit automatically adjusts itself to a mains voltage in a range of 100 - 127 V / 200 - 240 V. Ensure that the local mains voltage lies within these limits.

●This device must only be connected to properly grounded power outlets or insulated sockets of the rack's internal power supply with tested and approved power cords.

●Ensure that the device is connected to a properly grounded power outlet close to the device.

Operating Manual

RX600 S6

Important information

VCAUTION!

●Ensure that the power sockets on the device and the properly grounded power outlets are freely accessible.

●The On/Off button or the main power switch (if present) does not isolate the device from the mains power supply. To disconnect it completely from the mains power supply, unplug all network power plugs from the properly grounded power outlets.

●Always connect the server and the attached peripherals to the same power circuit. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data if, for example, the server is still running but a peripheral device (e.g. memory subsystem) fails during a power outage.

●Data cables must be adequately shielded.

●Ethernet cabling has to comply with EN 50173 and EN 50174-1/2 standards or ISO/IEC 11801 standard respectively. The minimum requirement is a Category 5 shielded cable for 10/100 Ethernet, or a Category 5e cable for Gigabit Ethernet.

●Route the cables in such a way that they do not create a potential hazard (make sure no-one can trip over them) and that they cannot be damaged. When connecting the server, refer to the relevant instructions in this manual.

●Never connect or disconnect data transmission lines during a storm (risk of lightning hazard).

●Make sure that no objects (e.g. jewelry, paperclips etc.) or liquids can get inside the server (risk of electric shock, short circuit).

●In emergencies (e.g. damaged casing, controls or cables, penetration of liquids or foreign bodies), switch off the server immediately, remove all power plugs and contact your sales outlet or customer service team.

Operating Manual

Important information

VCAUTION!

●Proper operation of the system (in accordance with IEC 60950-1/2 resp. EN 60950-1/2) is only ensured if the casing is completely assembled and the rear covers for the installation slots have been fitted (electric shock, cooling, fire protection, interference suppression).

●Only install system expansions that satisfy the requirements and rules governing safety and electromagnetic compatibility and those relating to telecommunication terminals. If you install other expansions, they may damage the system or violate the safety regulations. Information on which system expansions are approved for installation can be obtained from our customer service center or your sales outlet.

●The components marked with a warning notice (e.g. lightning symbol) may only be opened, removed or exchanged by authorized, qualified personnel. Exception: CSS components can be replaced.

●The warranty is void if the server is damaged during installation or replacement of system expansions.

●Only set screen resolutions and refresh rates that are specified in the operating manual for the monitor. Otherwise, you may damage your monitor. If you are in any doubt, contact your sales outlet or customer service center.

●Do not damage or modify internal cables or devices. Doing so may cause a device failure, fire, or electric shock.

●Devices inside the server remain hot after shutdown. Wait for a while after shutdown before installing or removing internal options.

●The circuit boards and soldered parts of internal options are exposed and can be damaged by static electricity. Before handling them, first touch a metal part of the server to discharge static electricity from your body.

●Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold the metallic areas or the edges of the circuit boards.
