IntroductionFeatures
1.2Features
System board
The features of the system board (D1570) are described in the technical manual
for the system board in relation to the hardware and in the „D1570 Setup Utility
for RX200“ (see “Related Publications” on page 69).
Hard disk drives
The server can accommodate up to three ULTRA 160-SCSI hard disk drive
modules.
Each hard disk drive module (HDD module) can accommodate a 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 drive modules to be simply plugged
in or pulled out (for further details see section “Hot-Swap HDD Modules” on
page 47).
For operating the hard disk drives an 1-channel PCI RAID controller (Ultra160
SCSI) is available.
In a corresponding RAID configuration the HDD modules can be exchanged
during operation (hot-swap).
Accessible drives/components
Two mounting locations are available:
– one location with a 3.5 inch slimline floppy disk drive (1.44 MB)
– one location for a slimline CD-/DVD-ROM drive (optionally)
The accessible drives integrated in this locations cannot be replaced during
operation.
LocalView (option)
Instead of the floppy disk drive, a LocalView module can be installed in the
3.5 inch location.
A26361-K878-Z102-2-7619 3
FeaturesIntroduction
USB port
The additional USB interface on the front of the server supports activities
carried out by the service technician. The maximum length of the external cable
are three meters.
High level of availability and reliability
When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors in the main memory are recognized and automatically corrected with the ECC (Error Correcting Code)
method. The patented memory scrubbing function regularly starts up the EDC
mechanism and thus ensures continuous data integrity.
The memory modules used support Chipkill™ technology, which in addition
increases the effectiveness of the monitoring and correction of memory errors.
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.
The onboard SCSI RAID controller support RAID Levels 0, 1, 5 10 and 50 and
increase system availability. The hot-swap HDD modules provide additional
security.
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 the threat of a system error or overloading early on so
that preventative measures can be taken.
ServerView enables the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network
via a central console. The following key features are supported among others
by ServerView in this context.
● Remote power-on (Wake On LAN)
● Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area
● Monitoring of the utilization of the PCI buses
● Detailed status and error reports for bus systems, processors and main
memory

● Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R)
in the event of failure of memory modules or processors
● Power monitoring
● Early detection of a defective fan
● Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring
with ASR&R
Further information on ServerView server management is provided in the
associated documentation (see “Related Publications” on page 69).
ServerStart
You can configure the PRIMERGY server quickly and purposefully with the
ServerStart software provided. User-guided menus are available for installing the
server operating system (for further details see „ServerStart Bundle“).
Service and support
PRIMERGY server are service-friendly and modular, thus enabling quick and
simple maintenance.
The handles and locks (touch point) of the different hot-plug/hot-swap components are colored green to ensure simple and immediate recognition.
In order to avoid damage to components by incorrect handling when they are
being installed and removed, green highlighting also identifies the component
areas that can be touched without causing damage to the respective
component.
The flash EPROM program supplied with the Fujitsu Siemens Computers
utilities supports a fast BIOS update. The RemoteView Remote Test and
Diagnosis System allows the PRIMERGY RX200 Server to be maintained from
remote locations. Remote diagnosis can be performed as a result for system
analysis, remote configuration and remote restart should the operating system
or hardware fail.

4.3.1Requirements of the Rack
The rack systems of the Fujitsu Siemens Computers (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 are:
A26361-K878-Z102-2-7619 23

– The operability of the safety mechanisms at the server e.g. stoppers or
holding back systems must be guaranteed.
– The form of the rack support uprights must ensure the frontal screwing on of
the rails.
– Frontally bolted telescopic rails or sliding rails.
The rails are provided with a linear alignment possibility to ensure also an
adjustment to different rack depths.
– Climatic conditions.
For the ventilation of the installed server a large extent unhindered air intake
in the rack front and air discharge in the rear cover of the rack are necessary.
In principle the ventilation concept plans that the necessary cooling is
reached by the horizontal self-ventilation of the installed devices (air flow
from the front to the rear).
– Power supply.
For the installation in 3rd-Party Racks it is to be made certain that appropriate socket strips are present.

5.4Hot-Swap HDD Modules
Up to three U160-SCSI hard disk drives can be installed in the PRIMERGY
RX200 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 if the RAID is configured appropriately.
A hard disk drive may only be replaced if it is inactive (see description of the
LEDs under “Hard disk drive control indicators” on page 45).
The hot swap procedure increases the availability of the system operation and
guarantees a high degree of data integrity and fail-safe performance.
A26361-K878-Z102-2-7619 47
Hot-Swap HDD ModulesPreparation for Use and Operation
5.4.1Handling 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
incorrect handling will lead to partial and/or total failure of the hard disk drives.
These failures will result in data errors and to loss of data or to total corruption
of the hard disk drive.
Please observe the following rules, which will help avoid such problems
occurring:
● 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 drive. The hard disk
drives may only be exposed to defined temperature and climatic conditions.
● Always put the HDD module down carefully, with its largest surface facing
downwards, to avoid the danger of tipping over.
5.4.2Installing/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 that is
operating in RAID level 1,5 or 10.
V CAUTION!
The HDD modules must be marked clearly so that they can be put back
into their 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 RX200 are
delivered as HDD modules which include the hard disk drive preinstalled in a
carrier. The hard disk drive may only be removed from the carrier by personnel
with the appropriate technical training in compliance with the appropriate ESD
guidelines (see section “Modules with electrostatic-sensitive components” on
page 16).
