RX2530 M4

Functional overview

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, CPU, 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 (integrated Remote Management Controller) on the system
board, the PRIMERGY RX2530 M4 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.

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 S5's web interface (see
section "iRMC S5 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.
