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-320-
SCSI 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 config-
uration, 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).
ITo configure HostRAID the controller has its own RAID-Select Utility. For
further information see “Adaptec HostRAID User’s Guide“ on the Server-
Books 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 acces-
sible 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 recog-
nized 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 Server-
Start 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.
