Before reading this manual
For your safety
This manual contains important information for safely and correctly using this
product.
Carefully read the manual before using this product. Pay particular attention to
the accompanying manual "Safety Notes and Regulations" and ensure these
safety notes are understood before using the product. Keep this manual and the
manual "Safety Notes and Regulations" in a safe place for easy reference while
using this product.
Radio interference
This product is a "Class A" ITE (Information Technology Equipment). In a
domestic environment this product may cause radio interference, in which case
the user may be required to take appropriate measures. VCCI-A
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors
The aluminum electrolytic capacitors used in the product's printed circuit board
assemblies and in the mouse and keyboard are limited-life components. Use of
these components beyond their operating life may result in electrolyte leakage
or depletion, potentially causing emission of foul odor or smoke.
As a guideline, in a normal office environment (25°C) operating life is not
expected to be reached within the maintenance support period (5 years).
However, operating life may be reached more quickly if, for example, the
product is used in a hot environment. The customer shall bear the cost of
replacing replaceable components which have exceeded their operating life.
Note that these are only guidelines, and do not constitute a guarantee of
trouble-free operation during the maintenance support period.
High safety use
This product has been designed and manufactured to be used in commercial
and/or industrial areas as a server.
When used as visual display workplace, it must not be placed in the direct field
of view to avoid incommoding reflections (applies only to TX server systems).
The device has not been designed or manufactured for uses which demand an
extremely high level of safety and carry a direct and serious risk of life or body
if such safety cannot be assured.

Upgrade and Maintenance Manual
These uses include control of nuclear reactions in nuclear power plants,
automatic airplane flight control, air traffic control, traffic control in mass
transport systems, medical devices for life support, and missile guidance
control in weapons systems (hereafter, "high safety use"). Customers should
not use this product for high safety use unless measures are in place for
ensuring the level of safety demanded of such use. Please consult the sales
staff of Fujitsu if intending to use this product for high safety use.
Measures against momentary voltage drop
This product may be affected by a momentary voltage drop in the power supply
caused by lightning. To prevent a momentary voltage drop, use of an AC
uninterruptible power supply is recommended.
(This notice follows the guidelines of Voltage Dip Immunity of Personal
Computer issued by JEITA, the Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association.)

1 Introduction
This Upgrade and Maintenance Manual provides instructions for the following
procedures:
●
Upgrading the server configuration by adding optional hardware
components
●
Upgrading the server configuration by replacing existing hardware
components with superior ones.
●
Replacing defective hardware components
This manual focuses on on-site maintenance tasks. It is recommended to
prepare each service assignment following remote diagnostics procedures, as
described in the "ServerView Suite Local Service Concept (LSC)" manual (see
section "Documents you need at hand" on page 31.
V
CAUTION!
The document at hand comprises procedures of a wide range of
complexity. Check the profile of qualification for technicians before
assigning tasks. Before you start, carefully read "Classification of
procedures" on page 25.

2 Before you start
Before you start any upgrade or maintenance task, please proceed as follows:
Ê Carefully read the safety instructions in chapter "Important information" on
page 33.
Ê Make sure that all necessary manuals are available. Refer to the
documentation overview in section "Documents you need at hand" on
page 31. Print the PDF files if required.
Ê Make yourself familiar with the procedure categories introduced in section
"Classification of procedures" on page 25.
Ê Ensure that all required tools are available according to section "Tools you
need at hand" on page 29.
Advanced Thermal Design
The Advanced Thermal Design option allows you to operate the system with a
wider temperature range either of 5 °C to 40 °C or 5 °C to 45 °C, depending on
your system and configuration.
This option can only be ordered from the
manufacturer and is indicated by the respective
logo on the identification rating plate.
V
CAUTION
In a system that is configured with Advanced Thermal Design, only
certain components which support the respectively increased higher
operating temperature range may be installed and used. For applicable
restrictions, please refer to the official configurator tool.
Installing optional components
The operating manual of your server gives an introduction to server features
and provides an overview of available hardware options.
Use the Fujitsu ServerView Suite management software and the iRMC web
frontend to prepare hardware expansions. ServerView Suite documentation is
available online at http://manuals.ts.fujitsu.com
(http://jp.fujitsu.com/platform/server/primergy/manual/ for the Japanese market).
RX2530 M2
Upgrade and Maintenance Manual 23
Before you start
Please refer to the following ServerView Suite topics:
– Operation
– Virtualization
– Maintenance
– Out-Of-Band Management
I
For the latest information on hardware options, refer to your server’s
hardware configurator available online at the following address:
for the global market:
http://ts.fujitsu.com/products/standard_servers/index.htm
for the Japanese market:
http://jp.fujitsu.com/platform/server/primergy/system/
Please contact your local Fujitsu customer service partner for details on how to
order expansion kits or spare parts. Use the Fujitsu Illustrated Spares Catalog
to identify the required spare part and obtain technical data and order
information. Illustrated Spares catalogs are available online at
http://manuals.ts.fujitsu.com/illustrated_spares (global market only).
Replacing a defective component
The Global Error indicator on the front of the server reports defective hardware
components that need to be replaced. For further information on the controls
and indicators of your server, refer to the operating manual of your server and
section "Connectors and indicators" on page 356.
If the system has been powered off in order to replace a non-hot plug unit, a
system of PRIMERGY diagnostic indicators guides you to the defective
component. The "Indicate CSS" button enables the indicator next to the
defective component even if the server has been switched off and disconnected
from the mains. For further information, please refer to sections "Using
diagnostics information" on page 45 and "Indicators on the front panel" on
page 363.
If the defective component is a customer replaceable unit included in the CSS
concept (Customer Self Service), the CSS indicator on the front side of the
server will light up.
It is recommended to prepare local maintenance tasks using remote diagnostics
procedures, as described in the "ServerView Suite Local Service Concept
(LSC)" manual.

2.1 Classification of procedures
The complexity of maintenance procedures varies significantly. Procedures
have been assigned to one of three unit categories, indicating the level of
difficulty and required qualification.
At the beginning of each procedure, the involved unit type is indicated by one of
the symbols introduced in this section.
I
Please ask your local Fujitsu service center for more detailed
information.
2.1.1 Customer Replaceable Units (CRU)
Customer Replaceable Units (CRU)
Customer Replaceable Units are intended for customer self service and may be
installed or replaced as hot-plug components during operation.
I
Components that the customer is entitled to replace may differ according
to the service form in his country.
For the Japanese market use the following address:
http://jp.fujitsu.com/platform/server/primergy/
Hot-plug components increase system availability and guarantee a high degree
of data integrity and fail-safe performance. Procedures can be carried out
without shutting down the server or going offline.
Components that are handled as Customer Replaceable Units
– Hot-plug power supply units
– Hot-plug fan modules
– Hot-plug HDD/SSD modules
Peripherals that are handled as Customer Replaceable Units
– Keyboard
– Mouse
