Accessible drives / components
With most configurations the TX2550 M4 offers 3 x 1.6” bay in the accessible
drives area located at the top of the tower server (or at the right side of the rack)
for various ODD and or backup drives.
USB connectors
Two USB 3.0 connectors on the front of the device support activities carried out
by the service technician. The maximum length of the external cable is two
meters for the USB connectors on the front.
Another four USB connectors are available on the rear of the device
(4x USB 3.0).
Power supply unit (PSU)
In its basic configuration, the server has a hot-pluggable PSU that adjusts
automatically to any power voltage in the range from 100 V to 240 V (Platinum)
or 200 V to 240 V (Titanium). As an option, the power supply can be expanded
with an extra PSU to create a redundant power supply. If a PSU fails, the
redundant configuration assures continued operation. The defective PSU can
be replaced during operation (for further details see the "FUJITSU Server
PRIMERGY TX2550 M4 Server Upgrade and Maintenance Manual").
Advanced Thermal Design
The Advanced Thermal Design option allows you to operate the system with a
wider temperature range either of 5 °C to 40 °C or 5 °C to 45 °C, depending on
your system and configuration.
This option can only be ordered from the
manufacturer and is indicated by the respective
logo on the identification rating plate.
V
CAUTION
In a system that is configured with Advanced Thermal Design, only
certain components which support the respectively increased higher
operating temperature range may be installed and used. For applicable
restrictions, please refer to the official configurator tool.

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 HDD
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.

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.

7 Property and data protection
The floorstand model is protected against unauthorized opening by a lock. Apart
from this, the server is also fitted with two intrusion detection switches which
enable the ServerView Operations Manager to detect and log any removal of
the housing cover and the cover for the HDD/SSD modules.
To prevent that the server is being removed from its location, the floorstand
model can be secured to a fixed object with a steel cable running through a clip
on the back.
The rack model is protected against unauthorized access by a lockable rack
door.
To protect your system and data internally against unauthorized access, you
can use the BIOS setup security functions.
7.1 BIOS setup security functions
The Security menu in BIOS setup offers various options for protecting your data
from unauthorized access. By combining these options, you can also achieve
optimum protection for your system.
I
A detailed description of the Security menu and how to assign passwords
can be found in the "D3386 BIOS setup Utility for FUJITSU Server
PRIMERGY TX2550 M4 Reference Manual".
