Operating Manual

RX2540 M2

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.

Rank sparing memory technology is also supported, whereby one memory module is used as a replacement for two other memory modules. If a memory module fails, the module with the defective memory is deactivated automatically and the replacement module is activated (provided that it has been configured accordingly in BIOS; see BIOS Setup). The deactivated memory module is no longer used and the faulty memory module can be replaced at the next opportunity. The spare rank module must have identical or larger memory capacity than all the other ranks on the same channel.

Memory modules can be protected against failure by mirroring (Memory Mirroring). Memory Mirroring is roughly comparable to RAID level 1 for hard disk arrays.

IFor further information according to memory module population please refer to the technical manual of the system board D3289.

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 Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu analyzes and monitors all components that are critical for system reliability.

The RAID functionality of the SAS RAID controller increases the availability of the system.

The hot-plug HDD modules provide additional availability.

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 S4's Web interface (see section "iRMC S4 with integrated management LAN connector" on page 19). 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 S4 can be found in the "iRMC S4 - integrated Remote Management Controller" user guide (on the Fujitsu manuals server under x86 Servers - Software - ServerView Suite - Out-Of- Band Management).
