FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX2540 M5 Rack Server
The data center standard without compromise
FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY will give you the servers
you need to power any workload and changing
business requirements. As business processes
expand so does the need for applications. Each
has its own resource footprint, so you need a way
to optimize your computing to better serve your
users. PRIMERGY systems will help you match your
computing capabilities to your business priorities
with our complete portfolio of expandable
PRIMERGY tower servers for remote and branch
ofces, versatile rack-mount servers as well as
hyper-converged multi-node servers. They convince
cost and complexity, provide more agility in daily
operations, and integrate seamlessly to let help
you concentrate on core business functions.
FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX rack systems are
versatile rack-optimized servers providing bestin-class performance and energy efciency, and
thus form the “standard” in each data center.
PRIMERGY RX servers deliver more than 20 years of
development and production know-how resulting
in extremely low failure rates below market
average, and lead to continuous operations and
outstanding hardware availability.
DDR4 memory technology with up to 3TB and
optionally up to 12x Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent
Memory NV-DIMM modules it boosts application
performance so that it copes with the increasing
data growth and to shorten time to business
results. The modular design of the server offers
excellent expandability with up to 28 disk drives,
high storage density, up to 8 PCIe Gen 3 I/O
expansion slots. A variety of onboard DynamicLoM
options, plus its dual-port embedded LAN meet
future requirements, cost-optimized. The PRIMERGY
RX2540 M5 comes with two redundant hot-plug
power supply units, offering up to 96% energy
efciency. The Cool-safe® Advanced Thermal
Design allows operation in ambient temperatures
of up to 45 °C/104 °F. Having both these features
helps to reduce operational expenses.
PRIMERGY RX2540 M5
The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX2540 M5 sets
higher standards for usability, scalability and cost
efciency. It is a 2U dual-socket rack server ideal
for running enterprise applications, collaboration
and messaging workloads as well as traditional
databases. In addition, it substantially simplies
carrying out infrastructure-related tasks such as
server virtualization and consolidation. As one
of the key innovations, versatile performance is
guaranteed by a new generation of processors.
The PRIMERGY RX2540 M5 can be equipped with
two of the Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family
CPUs with up to 28 cores each. Along with new

Features & Benefits
Main FeaturesBenefits
Innovation meets Performance
Wide choice of different types of Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor
Family. Each processor offers up to 28 cores, up to 56 threads, 12
memory channels enabling a signicantly higher performance
and efciency. They rely on Intel® UltraPath Interconnect for an
increased data rate between the CPUs. Intel® Optane™ DC persistent
memory is an innovative memory technology that delivers a
unique combination of affordable large capacity and persistence
(non-volatility). It revolutionizes the data center memory-storage
hierarchy of the past and brings massive data sets closer to the CPU
for faster time to insight. In total, up to 7,680 GB main memory in
a mixed mode (non-volatile memory + DDR4 @ 2,933 MT/s) are
available. What’s more is the support for up to 2x GPGPUs for fast
processing.
Enhanced Features for enhanced Computing
The RX2540 M5 comes with onboard LAN for basic LAN,
DynamicLoM via OCP slot for extended requirements. A mix&match
storage drive bay conguration offers the choice of either up to 8x
3.5-inch HDD/SSD + 1x ODD, 12x 3.5-inch or up to 24x 2.5-inch,
up to 8x PCIe 2.5-inch SSD + an additional rear option of 4x 2.5-
inch drives, complemented by internal M.2 devices for hypervisor
installations. Our power supply units with up to 96% energy
efciency and Fujitsu’s Cool-safe® Advanced Thermal Design for
higher ambient temperatures in the data center are available for
this server.
Foundation for Trust and Security
Fujitsu ServerView Suite including tools for installation and
deployment, permanent status monitoring and control, free-ofcharge BIOS, rmware and selected software updates plus TPM2.0
modules and latest operating system support are a great addition.
Revolutionize data center management
Fujitsu ServerView Suite is a free-of-charge management software
including tools for installation and deployment, permanent status
monitoring and control as well as BIOS, rmware and selected
software updates. In addition FUJITSU Software Infrastructure
Manager (ISM) provides converged management across multiple
data centers. The new ISM Essential license, available free-of-charge
provides essential server management and converged monitoring
functions.

Fujitsu offers comprehensive infrastructure management and
performance of two processors – marking the standard of tomorrow
with an increase in computing power. Several innovations make
this new CPU generation (code-named “Cascade Lake”) even
more powerful than the current-generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable
processors, enabling robust compute capability and increased
memory bandwidth for demanding workloads. Intel® Optane™ DC
persistent memory technology will transform critical data workloads
– from cloud and databases, to in-memory analytics, and content
delivery networks but also for VDI, CAD or future technologies such
as Articial Intelligence of Virtual Reality applications.
