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. The mounting of the cable management is described in detail in the Technical

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

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.

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

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.
