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
– Memory modules
– System fans
– Expansion cards
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 65 and the "ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC" manual on

the ServerView Suite DVD 2).
You can also fit your server with a ServerView Local Service Panel, 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 TX200 S6

Preface

System board

The features of the system board are described in the technical manual for the
system board D2799 for the hardware and in the BIOS Setup manual for the
firmware.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for safer storage of keys can be implemented
as an option. This module enables programs from third party manufacturers to
store key information (e.g. drive encryption using Windows Bitlocker Drive
Encryption).

The TPM is activated via the BIOS system (for more information, refer to the
“D2799 BIOS Setup Utility for TX200 S6" manual).

V CAUTION!

– When using the TPM, note the program descriptions provided by the

third party manufacturers.

– You must also create a backup of the TPM content. To do this, follow

the third party manufacturer's instructions. Without this backup, if the
TPM or the system board is faulty you will not be able to access your
data.

– If a failure occurs, please inform your service about the TPM

activation before it takes any action, and be prepared to provide them
with your backup copies of the TPM content.

Slots for expansion cards

The server can be expanded flexibly via six slots (one 32-bit PCI, two

18 Operating Manual TX200 S6

Preface

Power supply

In its basic configuration the server has a permanently installed power supply
unit or a hot-plug power supply unit that adjusts automatically to any mains
voltage in the range 100 V - 240 V. Besides the hot-plug power supply unit, a
second hot-plug power supply unit can be installed optionally to serve as a
redundant power supply. If one power supply unit fails, the second power supply
unit in the redundant configuration ensures operation can continue
uninterrupted. The faulty power supply unit can be replaced during operation
(for further details see section "Hot-plug power supply units (optional)" on

page 92).

Cooling

In the standard configuration the server is cooled by two system fans and one
power supply fan.

In the optional, redundant configuration the server is cooled by four system fans
(two double fans) and one or two power supply fans. If one of the four system
fans fails, one of the two predetermined fans (system fan 3 and system fan 4,
see the "Options Guide" for the system) increases its power to ensure that the
server is cooled properly.

TX200 S6 Operating Manual 19

Preface

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 RDIMM memory modules used support SDDC technology (Chipkill™),
which further increases the effectiveness of memory error monitoring and
correction.

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.

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 during the next system maintenance. In order
to be able to use the hot-spare memory function, all occupied memory banks
have to be equipped with identical 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
Technology Solutions analyzes and monitors all components that are critical for
system reliability.

Optional RAID controllers support RAID levels like 0, 1, 5, ... and increase
system availability.

The hot-plug HDD modules provide additional availability.

I The features of the iRMC S2 Advanced Video Redirection and Remote

Storage are available as an option.

The iRMC S2 (integrated Remote Management Controller) is a BMC with
integrated management LAN connector and expanded functionality that was
previously only available with additional plug-in cards. In this way, the iRMC S2
enables complete control of PRIMERGY servers, regardless of system status,
and thus particularly the control of PRIMERGY servers that are in the "out-of­band" system status.

Major functions supported by the iRMC S2 include the following:

● Browser access via iRMC S2-s own Web server

● Secure communication (SSH, SSL)

● Power Management for the managed server (depending on its system

status)

● Power Consumption Management

● Connecting virtual drives as remote storage

● Text-based and graphic console bypass (Advanced Video Redirection)

● Command Line Interface (CLI)

● Simple, interactive or script-based iRMC S2 configuration

● Customer Self Service (CSS)

● iRMC S2-s own user management

● Multi-computer, global iRMC S2 user administration using an LDAP

Directory Service

● Automatic network configuration via DNS / DHCP

● Power supply of the iRMC S2 via the system standby supply

● Full-coverage alarm management

● System Event Log (SEL) reading and processing

More information about the iRMC S2 can be found in the "iRMC S2 - integrated
Remote Management Controller" user’s guide (on the ServerView Suite DVD 2
under Industry Standard Servers - Software - ServerView Suite - Out-Of-Band
Management).

Preface

Server management

Server management is implemented using the ServerView Operations Manager
supplied and the PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analysis) technology from
Fujitsu. PDA reports the threat of a system error or overload at an early stage,
allowing preventive measures to be taken.

The ServerView Operations Manager enables the management of all
PRIMERGY servers in the network via a central console. The ServerView
Operations Manager supports the following functions:

● Round-the-clock monitoring, regardless of server status

● High-performance, graphical console bypass (AVR) protected by

HTTPS/SSL (128 bit)

● Remote storage via USB

● Remote power on

● Intrusion detection in the floorstand model

● Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area

● Detailed status and error reports for processors and main memory

● Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R)

in the event that memory modules or processors fail

● Power monitoring

● End-of-life monitoring of fans with prompt notification before failure

● Watchdog timer for monitoring the operating system with ASR&R

Further information on the ServerView Operations Manager is provided in the
associated documentation.

Preface

ServerView Installation Manager

You can configure the PRIMERGY server quickly and precisely with the
ServerView Installation Manager software provided. User-guided menus are
available for installing the server operating system (for further details see
section "Configuring the server" on page 79).

Service and support

PRIMERGY servers are easy to maintain and modular, thus enabling quick and
simple maintenance.

The handles and locks (touch point) used to exchange components are colored
green to ensure simple and immediate recognition.

In order to prevent the components from being damaged by incorrect handling
when they are being installed and removed, the areas of all components that
can be touched without damaging them are also marked green.

PRIMERGY diagnostic LEDs fitted on the system board show which component
(memory module, processor, fan or expansion card) is not functioning properly.

The Flash EPROM program supplied with the Fujitsu utilities supports a fast
BIOS update.

With the iRMC S2 (integrated Remote Management Controller) on the system
board, the PRIMERGY TX200 S6 server can also be maintained and serviced
remotely. This enables remote diagnosis for system analysis, remote
configuration and remote restart should the operating system or hardware fail.

Preface

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 21).
You can also start the text-based or graphic console bypass (Advanced Video
Redirection, AVR) and connect virtual drives as remote storage.

I The features of the iRMC S2 Advanced Video Redirection and Remote

Storage are available as an option.
More information about the iRMC S2 can be found in the "iRMC S2 -

integrated Remote Management Controller" user’s guide (on the
ServerView Suite DVD 2 under Industry Standard Servers - Software ­ServerView Suite - Out-Of-Band Management).
