18 Operating Manual TX200 S7

Functional overview

Accessible drives / components

The server has three 5.25-inch bays.You can use these bays as follows:

– Optical disk drives or backup drives.

– Multibay for a slimline optical disk drive and a Server View Local Service

Display (LSD); occupies one bay.

– 4 x 3.5-inch HDD extension box for up to four additional 3.5-inch SAS/SATA

HDD modules and a slimline optical disk drive; occupies three bays.

– 2 x 3.5-inch HDD extension box for up to two additional 3.5-inch SAS/SATA

HDD modules and a slimline optical disk drive; occupies two bays.

– 8 x 2.5-inch HDD extension box for up to eight additional 2.5-inch SAS/SATA

HDD modules; occupies two bays.

Power supply units (PSUs)

The power supply configuration depends on the base unit:

– a standard PSU (800 W)

– one hot-plug PSU (450 W or 800 W)

– two hot-plug PSUs for redundancy

The PSUs adjust automatically to any mains voltage in the range of 100 V ­240 V.

A mix of 450 W and 800 W hot-plug PSUs is not allowed. If one of two hot-plug
PSU is defective, the other guarantees unimpaired operation. The defective
power supply module can be replaced during operation (see the "PRIMERGY
TX150 S8 / TX200 S7 Server Upgrade and Maintenance Manual").

I Redundancy is only guaranteed, if the total maximum power of all low

power versions gets not exceeded. Power sharing under mix mode
operation is not guaranteed.

TX200 S7 Operating Manual 19

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.

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 at the next opportunity. In order to be able to
use the hot-spare memory function, all occupied memory banks should be
equipped with identical memory modules.

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.

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 RAID controller supports different RAID levels and increase the
availability and data security of the system.

Service and support

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

The handles and locks (touch points) 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 indicate 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 S3 (integrated Remote Management Controller) on the system
board, the PRIMERGY TX200 S7 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.

TX200 S7 Operating Manual 23

Functional overview

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 S3's Web interface (see
section "iRMC S3 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.
