1 Preface

The PRIMERGY RX800 S2/S3 server system offers unique performance

density by packing up to four Intel height (3U) building block (node).

Each node offers 6 PCI-X 2.0 slots and is equipped with a CD/DVD drive and up to 6x2,5" hot-plug SAS hard disks. Full redundancy for power supplies and fans as well as phase redundancy for AC line input is supported. Hard disks, memory cards, fans units, power supply units, and PCI adapters are hotpluggable. All hot-plug operations are described in the Operating Manual.

Each node is either a base unit or an extension unit. Both units can be combined to form an 8-way (6U) configuration. By combining two 8-way configurations, a 16-way (12U) configuration with four nodes can be assembled. The assembly procedure is described in the Operating Manual.

Generally speaking, base unit and extension unit upgrade and conversion is done in the same way. However, there are exceptions to this rule which are explained in the appropriate chapter(s).

Preface Extensions and conversions

1.2 Extensions and conversions

Main memory

In the basic configuration (base/extension unit), two memory cards are supplied with either 2 GB or 4 GB of memory installed in memory card A.

The system board offers four hot-plug memory cards (A to D) slots, each of which can accommodate up to four DIMMs (in two memory banks each). The slots are suitable for DDR RAM PC2-3200 ECC DIMMs with 2 GB or 4 GB capacity, depending on the type of memory. Thus, each node supports up to 32 GB (64 GB) of system memory.

No mixing of DIMM types is allowed within one memory bank. Memory mirroring is only possible if DIMM types are identical between mirrored memory banks.

Memory upgrade/exchange with the server switched off is described in chapter

“Main memory” on page 25.

I The hot-plug memory card exchange and upgrade procedure is

described in the Operating Manual.

Processors

In the basic configuration (base/extension unit), the system comes with two microprocessors. You can install up to four microprocessors to further enhance performance and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) capability.

You may only use processors of the same type on the system board. All processors must have the same frequency and cache size.

Processor upgrade/exchange is described in chapter “Processors” on page 31.

Accessible drives

The basic configuration (base/extension unit) includes a CD/DVD drive. However, this drive is disabled in the extension unit of an 8-way configuration.

I In 16-way configuration, only one CD/DVD drive is operable.

No built-in accessible drives are available. Therefore, additional drives must be plugged in via the USB port. This can be done while the system is up and running.

Page 8

Extensions and conversions Preface

Adapters in PCI slots

The server is equipped with six PCI-X 2.0 slots, all offering 64-bit support, operating at 266 MHz, and supporting hot-plug functionality.

The following adapter types are available:

● PCI adapters for external SCSI storage system

If you want to connect additional external SCSI devices, up to two 1-channel

PCI SCSI adapters may optionally be installed per scalable partition.

● PCI adapters for external disk arrays

If you want to connect additional external disk arrays, up to four 2-channel

PCI RAID adapters may optionally be installed per scalable partition.

● PCI Fibre Channel adapters

Up to four 1-channel Fibre Channel PCI adapters for subsystems and SAN

(Storage Area Network) may optionally be installed per scalable partition.

● Single-port or dual-port PCI LAN adapters

The server comes with an integrated Broadcom dual-port LAN adapter.

Up to four single-port PCI LAN adapters may optionally be installed per

scalable partition

Up to three dual-port PCI LAN adapters may optionally be installed per

on page 41.

I Installation of hot-plug adapters is described in the Operating Manual.

Page 9

Preface Extensions and conversions

SAS/RAID adapters

In addition to the six standard PCI slots, a dedicated PCI slot is reserved for the ServerRAID-8i RoMB adapter (controller).

By default, the base unit has a ServeRAID-8i adapter installed to handle up to six hard disk drives. This adapter works in conjunction with the onboard SAS controller.

In the extension unit, a ServeRAID-8i adapter is optionally available. However, in a multi-node configuration, a maximum of two adapters is allowed to handle up to 12 hard disk drives.

I In a 16-way configuration, a ServeRAID-8i adapter is installed in both

base units. Consequently, no more optional adapters are allowed for any of the two extension units.

ServeRAID-8i upgrade is described in chapter “Adapters” on page 41.

I An BBU (Battery Backup Unit) is integrated in the ServeRAID-8-i adapter

to protect its memory contents in the event of a power failure. Lithium battery exchange is described in the Service Supplement.

Notes on handling CDs/DVDs in CD/DVD drives

V CAUTION!

● To prevent data loss, damage to the device, or injuries, you should

use only CDs/DVDs in good condition in the CD/DVD drive of your server.

● Therefore, check each CD/DVD for damage, cracks, breakage etc.

before inserting it in the drive. Please note that any additional labels applied may change the

mechanical properties of a CD/DVD and cause imbalance. Damaged and imbalanced CDs/DVDs can break at high drive speeds

(data loss). Under certain conditions, sharp-edged pieces of broken CDs/DVDs

can penetrate the cover of the drive (cause damage to the device) and be thrown out of the device (therefore causing injury to uncovered body parts, particularly the face or neck).

I To protect the CD/DVD drive and prevent mechanical damage as well as

premature wearing of the CDs/DVDs, you should observe the following advice:

– Only insert the CDs/DVDs in the drive when needed and remove

them after use. – Store the CDs/DVDs in suitable sleeves. – Protect the CDs/DVDs from exposure to heat and direct sunlight.

Note on the laser

The CD/DVD drive is classified as Laser Class 1, according to IEC 60825-1.

V CAUTION!

The CD/DVD drive contains a light-emitting diode (LED) which may generate a stronger laser beam than laser class 1. It is dangerous to look directly into the beam.

Never remove any parts of the housing of the CD/DVD drive!

replaced (see figure 16 on page 35), remove its heat sink.

I The thermal adhesive material securing the heat sink to the micropro-

cessor might have formed a strong bond. Gently rotate the heat sink back and forth to help break this bond. When the heat sink moves

back and forth easily, the bond is broken.

Ê Remove the old microprocessor from the microprocessor socket.

V CAUTION!

If a microprocessor is removed without being replaced, you must install a microprocessor baffle to prevent the server from overheating.

Ê Follow the procedure described in “Inserting a new microprocessor” on

page 36.

Thermal grease

The thermal grease must be replaced whenever the heat sink has been

removed from the top of the microprocessor and is going to be reused or when

debris is found in the grease.

To replace damaged or contaminated thermal grease on the microprocessor

and heat sink, complete the following steps:

Ê Place the heat sink on a clean work surface.

Ê Remove the cleaning pad from its package and unfold it completely.

Ê Use the cleaning pad to wipe the thermal grease from the bottom of the heat

sink.

I Use a clean area of the cleaning pad to wipe the thermal grease from

the microprocessor; make sure that all of the thermal grease is removed.

Ê Dispose of the cleaning pad after all of the thermal grease is removed.

Ê Use the thermal-grease syringe to place 16 uniformly spaced dots of 0.01

mL each on the top of the microprocessor (see figure 19).
