Introduction

The PRIMERGY 560 is an Intel-based server for medium-size and large networks
and can be equipped with up to four Pentium Pro processors.

Its highly developed hardware and software components provide a high degree of
reliability and availability. Hardware components include hot-plug power supplies
and hot-replace hard disks, and memory modules with EDC option (Error Detection
and Correction). Software components include server management, PDA
(Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) and ASR&R (Automatic Server
Reconfiguration and Restart).

Security functions in the BIOS Setup and on the system board protect the data on
the server against manipulation. Additional protection is offered by the lockable
server door and an anti-theft facility.

This Operating Manual tells you how to put your server into operation, how to
operate it in daily use and how to expand your server.

Further information is provided:

• in the manual "Safety and Ergonomics"

• in the Technical Manual for the system board

• in the Operating Manual for the monitor

• in the manual for the ServerView server management

• in the manual for RemoteView

• in the documentation of your operating system

• in the information files of your operating system

• in the documentation for the boards and drives

Introduction Features

Features

System board

The system board can accommodate one or two processor boards, each with one
or two Intel Pentium Pro processors. This enables the system to be expanded to a
four-processor system. The main memory has error detection and correction (EDC)
and can be extended up to four Gbytes. Three EISA, one EISA/PCI and five PCI
slots are available for expansion boards. The ASIC on the system board and
associated server management ensure high system reliability.

Hard disk subsystem

The hard disk subsystem comprises six 3 1/2-inch hard disk carriers and the SCSI
platter. The hard disk carriers are connected to the SCSI platter without cables and
are simple to install and remove. An SCSI hard disk drive can be installed in each
hard disk carrier. The subsystem is controlled by a standard controller or by a disk
array controller (DAC). If a DAC is installed in the server, a hard disk carrier can be
swapped during operation (hot replace).

Power supply

The power supply comprises up to three hot-plug power supply modules
connected in parallel in the server. Depending on the equipment level, a redundant
power supply can be achieved for the server with two or three power supply
modules. In the case of redundant power supply, it is a simple matter to exchange
a power supply module during operation (hot replace).

Server management

Server management is implemented on the system board with the aid of the
supplied ServerView software and PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing)
technology from Siemens. The PDA analyzes and monitors all components
relevant to system reliability, thus enabling early detection of overload situations
and appropriate counter-measures. Further information on the ServerView server
management is provided in the manual of the same name.

System expansions Installing and removing a SCSI hard disk drive

Installing and removing a SCSI hard disk drive

The server can accommodate six carriers for 3 1/2-inch hard disk drives. A Fast­Wide SCSI hard disk drive or an Ultra-Wide SCSI hard disk drive with an SCA
interface and a maximum height of 1.6 inch can be installed in each carrier.

If the SCSI hard disk drive is operated on a disk array controller (DAC) and
belongs to a disk array operated with RAID level 1 or level 5, it is not necessary to
switch off the system in order to swap a hard disk (hot replace). To swap a hard
disk, you need an SCSI hard disk drive with the same or higher capacity. A rebuild
on the new hard disk is performed automatically after disk swap. A precondition is
that the DAC is correctly configured. Refer to the information in the DAC manual.

If you want to swap several SCSI hard disk drives during operation,

!

proceed as follows:

• Swap the first SCSI hard disk drive.

• Wait until the hard disk drive access indicator no longer flashes

green-yellow.

• Swap the next SCSI hard disk drive etc.

The SCSI-ID is allocated via the SCSI platter (see "Boards and cabling").

The following applies if the SCSI hard disk is operated on a DAC:

RAID level 0 and 7

Rebuild is not possible. If a hard disk fails, its data is lost.

RAID level 1 and 5 without standby hard disk

Rebuild on the new disk is carried out automatically when the old disk is swapped.

RAID level 1 and 5 with standby hard disk

A standby hard disk is automatically enabled as a replacement for the defective
hard disk and the data of the defective disk is rebuilt on the standby disk.

Installing and removing a power supply module

If the power-on indicator of a power supply module goes off during operation, then
the module is defective and must be replaced. If the server has three power supply
modules, trouble-free replacement can be carried out during operation.

The power supply must be set to the local line voltage (115 V for 100 V -

!

125 V and 230 V for 200 V - 240 V). During current operation you must
not remove several power supply modules at the same time.

Installing and removing an accessible drive

The server accommodates up to five accessible drives (four 5 1/4-inch drives and
one 3 1/2-inch drive). A 5 1/4-inch drive carrier can house two half-height drives or
one full-height drive.

For each accessible SCSI drive that you install you must assign a unique SCSI ID
(0 - 6) and remove or disable the terminating resistor. As the CD-ROM drive
already fitted is located at the end of the SCSI cable, a terminating resistor is
connected and enabled.

Ê Read the documentation supplied with the drive and make the required

settings (SCSI ID, resistors) at the drive.

one SCSI-SE input and one SCSI-DE output)

• 3-channel (three SCSI channels are implemented on a board, i.e. the board

has three SCSI-SE inputs and three SCSI-DE outputs)
The 3-channel version is designed for insertion in an ISA or EISA slot. The 1-

channel version, which cannot be inserted in a slot, is supplied as a kit. For the first
board you will require the basic kit; for the second and third board you will require
the upgrade kit. A maximum of three 1-channel SE/DE boards can be installed in
