Introduction Features

1.2 Features

System board

The features of the system board (D1501) can be found in the technical manual
of the system board for the hardware and in the „D1501 Setup Utility for
PRIMERGY TX150“ for the firmware (see “Related Publications” on page 87).

Hard disk drives

The server has a drive cage which can accommodate up to four ULTRA-320­SCSI hard disk drive modules. Each hard disk drive module (HDD module) can
accommodate an SCSI hard disk drive with an SCA (Single Connector
Attachment) interface and a maximum height of 1 inch. The module is
connected to the SCSI backplane without cables via the SCA interface. This
allows hard disk modules to be simply plugged in or pulled out.

The hard disk drives can be controlled by the onboard controlled or by a RAID
controller. If the server has a RAID controller and a corresponding RAID config­uration, the HDD modules can be exchanged during operation (hot-swap).

A HDD extension box can be installed optionally (with a maximum of three HDD
modules). Controlling of the hard disk drives in the extension box requires an
additional RAID controller.

SCSI controller with HostRAID functionality

For operating the four hard disks a 1-channel Ultra320 SCSI controller with
HostRAID functionality is available. In addition to the SCSI functions HostRAID
offers RAID functionality for the internal disk configuration (HostRAID: level 0, 1, 10).

I To configure HostRAID the controller has its own RAID-Select Utility. For

further information see “Adaptec HostRAID User’s Guide“ on the Server­Books CD (choose Controllers from the menu).

Zero Channel RAID (ZCR) controller (option)

Optionally a ZCR controller (PCI card) can be installed. In addition to RAID
levels 0, 1, 10 ZCR controller offers the possibility to configure also RAID-5 or
RAID-50. ZCR controller utilizes the onboard controller using a special
integrated logic.

Features Introduction

Accessible drives

A 3,5-inch floppy disk drive (1.44 MB) and three locations for the installation of
accessible drives (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, CD burner or tape drive) are available.
The accessible drives cannot be replaced during operation.

Alternatively, two of these locations can be used to install the optional HDD
extension box. As a result these locations are then no longer available for acces­sible drives.

Power supply

In its basic configuration level the server has a fixed power supply unit or on/two
hot-plug power supply unit(s) that adjusts automatically to any power voltage in
the range from 100 - 127 V and/or 200 - 240 V. As an option, the standard power
supply can be upgraded to a redundant power supply (two hot-plug power
supply units). If one power supply unit fails, the second power supply unit of the
redundant configuration ensures unimpaired continued operation. The defective
power supply unit can be replaced during operation (hot-plug).

High level of availability and reliability

When memory data are accessed, 1-bit errors in the main memory are recog­nized and automatically corrected with the ECC (Error Correcting Code)
method.

ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in
the case of an error and automatically ”hides“ the defective system components.

The PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Siemens
Computers analyzes and monitors all components important for system
reliability.

Optional add-in RAID controllers support RAID Levels 5 and 50 and increase
system availability and reliability.

The hot-swapable HDD modules provide additional protection.

A26361-K879-Z102-3-7619 5

Introduction Features

Server management

Server management is implemented with the aid of the supplied ServerView
software and PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu
Siemens. PDA reports early the threat of a system error or overloading so that
preventative measures can be taken.

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

● Remote startup (Wakeup On LAN)

● Intrusion detection

● Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area

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

in the event of failure of memory modules or processors

● Power monitoring

● End-of-life monitoring of the fans with timely notification before a failure

● Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring

with ASR&R

Further information on the ServerView server management is provided in the
associated documentation (see “Related Publications” on page 87).

ServerStart

You can configure the PRIMERGY server quickly and precisely with the Server­Start software provided. User-guided menus are available for installing the

server operating systems.

Service and support

PRIMERGY server are service-friendly and modular, thus enabling quick and
simple maintenance. The flash EPROM programme supplied with the Fujitsu
Siemens utilities supports fast BIOS Update. The RemoteView Remote Test and
Diagnosis System allows the PRIMERGY TX150 Server to be maintained from
remote locations. A Remote Service Board (RSB) can be used in conjunction
with RemoteView. Together they facilitate a remote diagnosis for system analysis,
remote configuration, and remote restart should the operating system or
hardware fail.

Requirements of the Rack

The rack systems of the Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH (PRIMECENTER
Rack; DataCenter Rack and 19-Inch (Classic) Rack) support fully the instal­lation of the PRIMERGY server systems. The installation into the at present
usual rack systems of different foreign manufacturers (3rd-Party Rack) is
supported to large part.

To accommodate the ventilation concept and ensure proper ventilation of the
components in the rack, any unused areas must be closed using dummy covers.

The power is supplied via the socket strips available in the rack.
The main features of the rack systems of the Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH

are:

PRIMECENTER Rack

– In connection with so-called assembly brackets frontally bolted telescopic

rails or sliding rails.
Two of these assembly brackets and/or the sliding rails are provided with a

linear alignment possibility to ensure also an adjustment to different rack
depths.

– Extended cable management within the lateral rack area.

DataCenter Rack

– Directly laterally bolted telescopic rails or sliding rails (except within the rear

left area where a support bracket is used).

– Extended cable management within the lateral rack area.
19-Inch (Classic) Rack
– Directly laterally bolted telescopic rails or sliding rails.
– Cable management by using an articulated cable carrier.
The mounting of the rails in the different racks is described in the next sections.

Hardware Installation Connecting the Server to the Line Voltage

Connecting the keyboard, mouse and monitor

Ê Connect the monitor, the keyboard and mouse to the standard ports of the

server (see figure 22 on page 47 and figure 23 on page 48).

I If a separate graphics card is installed in a slot, the graphic controller on

the system board is automatically deactivated. The corresponding
monitor port can not be used. Plug the data cable of the monitor into the
monitor port of the graphics card.

Ê Connect the power cable of the monitor to a grounded mains outlet of the in-

house mains and/or into the mains socket strip of the rack.

V CAUTION!

The rated current for the monitor can be found on the technical data label
on the monitor or in the operating manual for the monitor.

4.6 Connecting the Server to the Line Voltage

In its basic configuration level the server has a fixed power supply unit.

As an option, this power supply unit can be replaced with a hot-plug power

supply unit. A second hot plug power supply unit can be added to achieve

redundant power supply. If a defect occurs in one power supply unit, the

respective other power supply unit ensures unimpaired further operation.

V CAUTION!

The server automatically adjusts to a mains voltage between
100 - 127 V and/or 200 - 240 V. The server may be place in operation
only, if the mains voltage range set on the server corresponds to the local
mains voltage.

8 Hot-plug/Hot-swap Components

This chapter describes how to handle hot-plug or hot-swap components and/or
how to modify your server hardware (e.g. installing/removing hot-plug power
supply units, hot-swap HDD modules).

I Upgrading or replacing fix installed components are described in the

Service Manual and may only be performed by maintenance staff.

8.1 Hot-plug Power Supply Units

I As an option, the fixed power supply unit can be replaced with one or two

hot-plug power supply units (upgrading may only be performed by
maintenance staff).

With two hot-plug power supply units installed, if a defect occurs in one power
supply unit, the other power supply unit ensures unimpaired further operation.
The defective power supply unit can be replaced during operation (hot-plug).

V CAUTION!

Please observe the safety information in chapter “Important Notes” on
page 11.

74 A26361-K879-Z102-3-7619

Hot-plug Power Supply Units Hot-plug/Hot-swap Components

8.1.1 Replacing the Hot-plug Power Supply Unit

Figure 31: Unlocking and removing the power supply unit

must be switched OFF.

Ê Remove the cable from the installed power supply unit.
Ê Push the locking bar of the installed power supply unit towards the power

plug (1).

Ê Hold the bar firmly and pull the power supply unit out of the location in the

direction marked (2).

Ê Push the locking bar of the power supply unit that has to be installed towards

the power plug and hold it in this position.

Ê Insert the power supply unit into the free location.
Ê Lock the power supply unit with the bar such that it engages firmly in the

groove of the mounting frame.



A26361-K879-Z102-3-7619 75

Hot-plug/Hot-swap Components Hot-plug Power Supply Units

Ê Connect the power supply unit to the power supply.

I Please ensure that the power supply unit engages correctly in the

mounting frame and is locked in position.
This is the only way to avoid the power supply unit being shaken out of

its mountings and damaged during transport.

8.1.2 Adding a Hot-plug Power Supply Unit

A second hot-plug power supply unit can be added to achieve redundant power
supply. If one power supply unit fails, the second power supply unit ensures
unimpaired further operation.

The location for an additional power supply unit contains a dummy unit. This
dummy unit must be removed before installing a second power supply unit.

Ê Remove the dummy unit from the second power supply unit location.

I Installing/removing the dummy unit occurs in the same way as the

power supply unit (see section “Replacing the Hot-plug Power Supply
Unit” on page 74).

V CAUTION!

Keep the dummy module for future use. If the power supply unit is
removed and not replaced with a new unit, then the dummy unit must
be reinstalled due to cooling, the applicable EMC regulations (regula­tions on electromagnetic compatibility) and fire protection.

Ê Insert the second power supply unit into the free location (see section

“Replacing the Hot-plug Power Supply Unit” on page 74) and connect it to

the power supply (see section “Connecting the Server to the Line Voltage”

on page 49).

76 A26361-K879-Z102-3-7619

Hot-swap Hard Disk Drive Hot-plug/Hot-swap Components

8.2 Hot-swap Hard Disk Drive

Up to four Ultra 3-Wide U320-SCSI hard disk drives can be installed into the
PRIMERGY TX150 server.

The hard disk drives are built on a carrier which allows defective drives to be
replaced (hot-swap) or new drives to be added during operation. The hard disk
drive and the carrier constitute the hard disk drive module (HDD module).

The hot-swap function can only be performed together with a corresponding
RAID configuration. Further information about the RAID configuration or RAID
level can be found in the RAID controller documentation.

A hard disk drive may only be replaced if it is inactive (see description of the
LEDs under “Hard disk drive control indicator” on page 58).

The hot-swap procedure increases the availability of the system operation and
guarantees a high degree of data integrity and protection against failure.

8.2.1 Handling Hard Disk Drives HDD Modules

Hard disk drives incorporated in the HDD modules are highly sensitive electro­magnetic devices and must be handled with great care. It is extremely likely that
an incorrect handling will lead to a partially and/or total failure of the hard disk
drives.

These failures will result in data errors and to loss of data or to total destruction
of the hard disk drive.

Please observe following rules, which will help to avoid the occurrence of this
type of problems:

● Store and transport HDD modules only within the limits stipulated in the

specification.

● When transporting HDD modules (even over short distances), always use

the original packaging (ESD labeling).

● Never expose a HDD module to a temperature shock. Avoid the formation

of condensation inside and on the outside of the hard disk drives.

A26361-K879-Z102-3-7619 77

Hot-plug/Hot-swap Components Hot-swap Hard Disk Drive

V CAUTION!

The HDD module must be acclimatized in its operating environment for
an acclimatization time.

● Always put the HDD module down carefully, with its largest surface facing

downwards, to avoid the danger of tipping over.

8.2.2 Installing/Removing HDD/Dummy Module

V CAUTION!

Under no circumstances should you remove a HDD module while the
system is in operation if you are not sure that the hard disk drive is
operated by a RAID controller and belongs to a disk array which is
operating in RAID level 1 or 5.

V CAUTION!

The HDD modules must be marked clearly so that they can be put back
into its original place after an upgrade. If this is not taken into account,
existing data can be destroyed.

The hard disk drives which can be ordered for the PRIMERGY TX150 are
delivered as HDD modules which include the hard disk drive preinstalled in a
carrier. Only a service technician may remove a hard disk drive from the carrier.

Free slots are provided with a dummy module (an empty carrier) which must be
removed before installing an additional HDD module.

Ê Press the upper and lower tabs on the dummy module together (see

figure 32 on page 78) until the locking mechanism disengages, and remove
the dummy module from the slot.

Installation of the dummy module occurs in reverse order.

V CAUTION!

Keep the dummy module for future use. If the HDD module is removed
again and not replaced with a new module, then the dummy module must
be reinstalled due to cooling, the applicable EMC (electromagnetic
compatibility) regulations and fire protection.

Figure 32: Dummy module and corresponding HDD module

Installing the HDD module

Ê Solve the locking mechanism by pressing the locking button (1).

I If the HDD modules are provided with a transport lock (1 in figure 3

on page 26) remove these before you open the locking mechanism.

Ê Push the handle of the HDD module fully in the direction of the arrow.

8.2.3 Hot-swap for HDD Modules

V CAUTION!

The hot-swap function can only be performed together with a corre­sponding RAID configuration.

Only pull out a HDD module if the drive is not being accessed. Observe
the control LEDs for the corresponding HDD module (see “Hard disk

drive control indicator” on page 58).
If you want to replace a HDD module during operation, proceed as follows:
Ê If you want to pull out a HDD module which is not defective, it must be set to

offline via software (RAID controller configuration software).

Ê Pull out the HDD module (defective/not defective) by a few centimeters.
Ê Wait for at least 60 seconds.

I This period is necessary for the RAID controller to recognize that a

HDD module has been pulled out and for the hard disk drive to come
to a stop.

Ê Pull out the HDD module right.
Ê Insert the new HDD module.

When you have removed the HDD module and are not replaced with a new
module, then insert a dummy module into the empty slot. Make sure that the
retaining clips of the dummy unit engage correctly in the location.
