The PSUs adjust automatically to any mains voltage in the range of 100 V - 240 V.

A mix of 450 W and 800 W hot-plug PSUs is not allowed. If one of two hot-plug PSU is defective, the other guarantees unimpaired operation. The defective power supply module can be replaced during operation (see the "PRIMERGY TX150 S8 / TX200 S7 Server Upgrade and Maintenance Manual").

IRedundancy is only guaranteed, if the total maximum power of all low power versions gets not exceeded. Power sharing under mix mode operation is not guaranteed.

TX200 S7

Operating Manual

Functional overview

High level of availability and data security

When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors are identified in the main memory and automatically corrected with the error correcting code (ECC) method. The patented memory scrubbing function regularly starts up the EDC mechanism, ensuring 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 bank is used like a replacement bank. If a memory module fails, the bank with the defective memory is automatically deactivated and the replacement bank is activated (provided it has been configured for appropriately in the BIOS). The deactivated memory bank 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 memory banks should be equipped with identical memory modules.

Memory modules can be protected against failure by mirroring (Memory Mirroring). Memory Mirroring is roughly comparable to RAID level 1 for hard disk arrays. The basic configuration requires two identical memory modules in two different banks.

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 RAID controller supports different RAID levels and increase the availability and data security of the system.

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 S3 with integrated management LAN connector" on page 21). You can also start the text-based or graphic console bypass (Advanced Video Redirection, AVR) and connect virtual drives as remote storage.
