Features Preface

1.3 Features

Customer Self Service (CSS)

The PRIMERGY Customer Self Service (CSS) concept enables you to identify
and replace the affected component yourself in the case of certain error
scenarios.

In the CSS concept, you can replace the following components yourself in the
event of an error:

– Hot-plug hard disk drives
– Hot-plug power supply units
– Hot-plug Memory modules
– Hot-plug System fans
– Expansion cards (as soon as released)
For information on replacing these components, see chapter "CSS

components" on page 91.

CSS indicators on the control panel and on the back of the PRIMERGY server
provide you with information if a CSS event arises (for more information on the
behavior of these indicators, see chapter "Starting up and operation" on

page 63 and the "ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC" manual on

the ServerView Suite DVD 2).
Your server is equipped with a ServerView Local Service Display, which enables

you to identify the type of component affected by the error directly on the server
(for more information, see the "ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC"
manual on the ServerView Suite DVD 2).

In addition, CSS errors are displayed in the ServerView Operations Manager,
the server management software from Fujitsu.

In the event of errors, the ServerView Operations Manager refers you directly to
the affected component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares
catalog of the server in question. (This feature is not available for the Japanese
market.)

14 Operating Manual RX600 S5

Preface Features

System board

The features of the system board are described in the technical manual for the
system board D2870 for the hardware and in the BIOS Setup manual for the
firmware.

Hot-plug PCI slots

The server has ten PCI-Express slots, where two of them are hot-plug slots.
These hot-plug PCI-Express slots allow installation and removal of boards
during operation when the operating system supports this function (for further
details see section "Hot-plug expansion cards" on page 107).

Hard disk drives

The server can be equipped with up to 8 SAS/SATA HDD modules. Each HDD
module can accommodate a SAS/SATA hard disk drive with a 2.5-inch format.
The modules are connected to the SAS/SATA backplane wirelessly. This allows
HDD modules to be plugged in or pulled out easily.

The hard disk system is designed for SAS/SATA with one channel for each hard
disk drive.

If the server has the corresponding RAID configuration, HDD modules can also
be replaced during operation.

SAS/SATA controller card (optionally with RAID controller)

The SAS/SATA controller card for operating up to eight SAS/SATA hard disk
drives can be alternately without or with RAID functionality. In case of RAID
functionality the levels 0, 1, 1E, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are supported.

Battery Backup Units

Up to two intelligent Battery Backup Units (iBBUs) back up the memory contents
of their corresponding RAID controllers in the event of power failure (option).

Accessible drives/components

A number of mounting locations are available:
– An installation slot for a ServerView Local Service Display (standard)

– An installation slot for a slimline CD/DVD/BD drive (standard)
– A 5.25-inch bay for a magnetic tape drive (option)

RX600 S5 Operating Manual 15

Features Preface

The accessible drives/components integrated in these locations cannot be
replaced during operation.

Power supply

The server has up to four hot-plug power supply units that automatically switch
to a mains voltage of 100 - 127 V / 200 - 240 V. This ensures redundant power
supply. If one power supply unit is defective, the other(s) then guarantee(s)
unimpaired operation. The faulty power supply unit can be replaced during
operation (for further details see "Hot-plug power supply units" on page 93).

Cooling

Each processor has a heat sink. Further cooling for the installed processors is
provided by hot-plug fans (optionally in a redundant configuration).

Temperature sensors variably adjust the fans. If a temperature sensor fails or is
removed, the fans affected run at maximum speed so as to provide the greatest
possible protection for the hardware. When the housing is open, all the fans run
at maximum speed.

If a fan fails, unimpaired further operation is ensured. A defective fan module
can be replaced during operation (for further details see "Hot-plug fans" on

page 97).

High level of availability and data security

When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors in the main memory are identified
and automatically corrected with the ECC (Error Correcting Code) method. The
patented memory scrubbing function regularly starts up the EDC mechanism
(Error Detection Code) and thus ensures 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 module is used like a replacement module. If a memory module fails,
the module with the defective memory is automatically deactivated and the
replacement module is activated (provided it has been configured for
appropriately in the BIOS). The deactivated memory module 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 DIMM slots must
have an identical memory configuration.

16 Operating Manual RX600 S5

Preface Features

Memory modules can be protected against failure through mirroring (memory
mirroring, requires two or four memory modules).

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 controller card supports the RAID levels 0, 1, 1E, 5, 6, 10, 50
and 60 thus increasing system availability and reliability.

Additional reliability is provided by the hot-plug HDD modules, fans and power
supply units.

Preface Features

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 S2's Web interface (see
section "iRMC S2 with integrated management LAN connector" on page 18).
You can also start the text-based or graphic console bypass (Advanced Video
Redirection, AVR) and connect virtual drives as remote storage.

3 Important information

In this chapter you will find essential information regarding safety when working
on your server.

3.1 Safety instructions

I The following safety instructions are also provided in the manual "Safety

Notes and Regulations" or " 安全上のご注意 ".

This device meets the relevant safety regulations for IT equipment. If you have
any questions about whether you can install the server in the intended
environment, please contact your sales outlet or our customer service team.

V CAUTION!

● The actions described in this manual shall be performed by technical

specialists. A technical specialist is a person who is trained to install
the server including hardware and software.

● Repairs to the device that do not relate to CSS failures shall be

performed by service personnel. Please note that unauthorized
interference with the system will void the warranty and exempt the
manufacturer from all liability.

● Any failure to observe the guidelines in this manual, and any improper

repairs could expose the user to risks (electric shock, energy
hazards, fire hazards) or damage the equipment.

● Before installing/removing internal options to/from the server, turn off

the server, all peripheral devices, and any other connected devices.
Also unplug all power cords from the power outlet. Failure to do so
can cause electric shock.

RX600 S5 Operating Manual 27

Safety instructions Important information

Before starting up

V CAUTION!

● During installation and before operating the device, observe the

instructions on environmental conditions for your device (see

"Technical data" on page 22).

● If the server has been moved from a cold environment, condensation

may form both inside and on the outside of the machine.
Wait until the server has acclimatized to room temperature and is

absolutely dry before starting it up. Material damage may be caused
to the server if this requirement is not met.

● Only transport the server in the original packaging or in packaging

that protects it from impacts and jolts.

Installation and operation

V CAUTION!

● This unit should not be operated in ambient temperatures above

35 °C.

● If the unit is integrated into an installation that draws power from an

industrial power supply network with an IEC309 connector, the power
supply's fuse protection must comply with the requirements for non­industrial power supply networks for type A connectors.

● The unit automatically adjusts itself to a mains voltage in a range of

100 - 127 V / 200 - 240 V. Ensure that the local mains voltage lies
within these limits.

● This device must only be connected to properly grounded power

outlets or insulated sockets of the rack's internal power supply with
tested and approved power cords.

● Ensure that the device is connected to a properly grounded power

outlet close to the device.

28 Operating Manual RX600 S5

Important information Safety instructions

V CAUTION!

● Ensure that the power sockets on the device and the properly

grounded power outlets are freely accessible.

● The On/Off button or the main power switch (if present) does not

isolate the device from the mains power supply. To disconnect it
completely from the mains power supply, unplug all network power
plugs from the properly grounded power outlets.

● Always connect the server and the attached peripherals to the same

power circuit. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data if, for example,
the server is still running but a peripheral device (e.g. memory
subsystem) fails during a power outage.

● Data cables must be adequately shielded.

● Ethernet cabling has to comply with EN 50173 and EN 50174-1/2

standards or ISO/IEC 11801 standard respectively. The minimum
requirement is a Category 5 shielded cable for 10/100 Ethernet, or a
Category 5e cable for Gigabit Ethernet.

● Route the cables in such a way that they do not create a potential

hazard (make sure no-one can trip over them) and that they cannot
be damaged. When connecting the server, refer to the relevant
instructions in this manual.

● Never connect or disconnect data transmission lines during a storm

(risk of lightning hazard).

● Make sure that no objects (e.g. jewelry, paperclips etc.) or liquids can

get inside the server (risk of electric shock, short circuit).

● In emergencies (e.g. damaged casing, controls or cables, penetration

of liquids or foreign bodies), switch off the server immediately, remove
all power plugs and contact your sales outlet or customer service
team.
