2 Important notes
In this chapter you will find essential information regarding safety when working
with your server.
VCAUTION!
With the system board installed you must open the system to access the
system board. How to access the system board of your system is
described in the appropriate service supplement.
When handling the system board, refer to the specific notes on safety in
the operating manual and/or service supplement for the respective
server.
2.1 Notes on safety
VCAUTION!
●The actions described in these instructions should only be performed
by authorized, qualified personnel. Equipment repairs should only be
performed by qualified staff. Any failure to observe the guidelines in
this manual, and any unauthorized openings and improper repairs
could expose the user to risks (electric shock, fire hazards) and could
also damage the equipment. Please note that any unauthorized
openings of the device will result in the invalidation of the warranty
and exclusion from all liability.
●Transport the device only in the antistatic original packaging or in
packaging that protects it from knocks and jolts.
●Only install expansions that are allowed for the system board. If you
install other expansions, you may damage the requirements and rules
governing safety and electromagnetic compatibility or your system.
Information on which system expansions are suitable can be
obtained from the customer service centre or your sales outlet.
●The warranty expires if the device is damaged during the installation
or replacement of system expansions.

8 Technical Manual D2529 (TX300 S4)
Notes on safety Important notes
V●Components can become very hot during operation. Ensure you do
not touch components when making extensions to the system board.
There is a danger of burns!.
●Transmission lines to peripheral devices must be adequately
shielded.
●To the LAN wiring the requirements apply in accordance with the
standards EN 50173 and EN 50174-1/2. As minimum requirement
the use of a protected LAN line of category 5 for 10/100 MBps
Ethernet, and/or of category 5e for Gigabit Ethernet is considered.
The requirements of the specification ISO/IEC 11801 are to be
considered.
●Never connect or disconnect data transmission lines during a storm
(lightning hazard).
Batteries
VCAUTION!
●Incorrect replacement of lithium battery may lead to a risk of
explosion. The batteries may only be replaced with identical batteries
or with a type recommended by the manufacturer.
It is essential to observe the instructions in chapter “Replacing the
lithium battery”.

Important notes Notes on safety
Modules with electrostatic-sensitive components
Systems and components that might be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD) are marked with the following label:
Figure 1: ESD label
When you handle components fitted with ESDs, you must observe the following
points under all circumstances:
●You must always discharge yourself of static charges (e.g. by touching a
grounded object) before working.
●The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
●Remove the power plug from the power socket before inserting or removing
boards containing ESDs.
●Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.
●Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.
●Use a grounding cable designed for this purpose to connect yourself to the
system unit as you install/deinstall the board.
●Place all components on a static-safe base.
IYou will find a detailed description for handling ESD components in the
relevant European or international standards (EN 61340-5-1,
ANSI/ESD S20.20).

10 Technical Manual D2529 (TX300 S4)
CE Certificate Important notes
Notes about boards
●During installation/deinstallation of the system board, observe the specific
instructions described in the service manual for the server.
●Remove the plug from the mains outlet so that system and system board are
totally disconnected from the mains voltage.
●To prevent damage to the system board, the components and conductors on
it, please take great care when you insert or remove boards. Take great care
to ensure that extension boards are slotted in straight, without damaging
components or conductors on the system board, or any other components,
for example EMI spring contacts.
●Be careful with the locking mechanisms (catches, centring pins etc.) when
you replace the system board or components on it, for example memory
modules or processors.
●Never use sharp objects (screwdrivers) for leverage.
2.2 CE Certificate
The shipped version of this board complies with the requirements
of the EEC directive 89/336/EEC "Electromagnetic compatibility".
Compliance was tested in a typical PRIMERGY configuration.

Important notes Environmental Protection
2.3 Environmental Protection
Environmentally friendly product design and development
This product has been designed in accordance with standards for ”environmen-
tally friendly product design and development“. This means that the designers
have taken into account important criteria such as durability, selection of
materials and coding, emissions, packaging, the ease with which the product
can be dismantled and the extent to which it can be recycled.
This saves resources and thus reduces the harm done to the environment.
Notes on saving energy
Devices that do not have to be on permanently should not be switched on until
they need to be used and should be switched off during long breaks and on
completion of work.
Notes on packaging
Please do not throw away the packaging. We recommend that you do not throw
away the original packaging in case you need it later for transporting.
Notes on dealing with consumables
Please dispose batteries in accordance with local government regulations.
Do not throw batteries and accumulators into the household waste. They must
be disposed of in accordance with local regulations concerning special waste.
All batteries containing pollutants are marked with a symbol (a crossed-out
rubbish bin on wheels). In addition, the marking is provided with the chemical
symbol of the heavy metal decisive for the classification as a pollutant:
Cd Cadmium
Hg Mercury
Pb Lead
Notes on labeling plastic housing parts
Please avoid attaching your own labels to plastic housing parts wherever
possible, since this makes it difficult to recycle them.

TPM (option)
The system board is optional equipped with a TPM (Trusted Platform Module)
by the manufacturer. This module enables programs from third party manufac-
turers to store key information (e.g. drive encryption using Windows Bitlocker
Drive Encryption).

16 Technical Manual D2529 (TX300 S4)
Overview Features
The TPM is activated via the BIOS system (for more information, refer to the
Fujitsu Siemens Computers BIOS manual).
VCAUTION!
– When using the TPM, note the program descriptions provided by the
third party manufacturers.
– You must also create a backup of the TPM content. To do this, follow
the third party manufacturer's instructions. Without this backup, if the
TPM or the system board is faulty you will not be able to access your
data.
– If a failure occurs, please inform your service about the TPM
activation before it takes any action, and be prepared to provide them
with your backup copies of the TPM content.

Non-mirrored mode
Using one riser card the module population is as follows:
1A + 1B (minimum configuration) - 2A + 2B - 3A + 3B - 4A + 4B
Using two riser cards the population can be alternating (higher performance) or
consecutive.
Mirrored mode
The mirrored mode requires memory modules in matched sets of four, two in
each riser card.
1A + 1B, 1C + 1D (minimum configuration)
2A + 2B, 2C + 2D (upgrade 1); 3A + 3B, 3C + 3D (upgrade 2); 4A + 4B, 4C + 4D
