Introduction
The PRIMERGY400 and 200 are Intel-based servers for small and medium-sized networks and can
be used as tower or rack servers. Conversion to the respective other version is possible with an
optional conversion kit.
The PRIMERGY 400 and 200 servers offer a high level of failure safety and availability through
highly developed hardware and software components. Hardware components include hot-replace
carriers, the ServerView 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. As a tower server, the lockable door and an anti-theft protection device on the back of
the unit offer additional protection. As a rack server, the lockable door of the rack offers additional
safety.
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. Work steps which are identical for the tower and rack version are
only described for the tower version.
Further information is provided:
• in the manual "Safety, Guarantee and Ergonomics"
• in the Technical Manual of the system board
• in the manual for the BIOS Setup
• in the Technical Manual for the 19-inch rack (Rack-Server)
• in the manual for the monitor
• in the manual for the ServerView server management
• in the manual for the Remote Test and Diagnosis System RemoteView
• in the documentation for the boards and drives
• in the documentation of your operating system
• in the information files of your operating system
Features
System board
System boards with various features are available for the PRIMERGY 400 and 200 server systems
to suit a wide range of requirements. For a description of the features of the system board integrated
in your server, please see the manuals System Board for the hardware and BIOS Setup for the
software.
Hard disk subsystem
The hard disk subsystem comprises four or six 3 ½-inch hard disk carriers and the SCSI platter.
Each hard disk carrier can accommodate an SCSI hard disk drive with an SCA (Single Connector
Attachment) interface and a maximum height of 1.6 inches or 1 inch. The module is connected to
the SCSI disk without cables via the SCA interface. This allows the hard disk drive to be simply
plugged in or pulled out.
The hard disk subsystem is designed for 80 MHz SCSI. The version with four 3 ½-inch hard disk
carriers is a 1-channel, the version with six 3 ½-inch hard disk carriers can be configured as 2-
channel with two hard disks or as 1-channel with six hard disks. The hard disk subsystem can be
controlled by a standard controller or by a disk array controller (DAC). If the server is equipped with
a DAC, defective hard disk drives can also be replaced during operation (hot replace).

Introduction Features
2A26361-K632-Z100-1-7619
Power supply
The server can be equipped with a permanently installed power supply (standard) or with a plug-in
power supply (hot plug) consisting of one or two modules. With two power supply modules the
server is equipped with a redundant power supply. If a defect occurs in one module, the respective
other module ensures unimpaired further operation. The defective module can be replaced during
operation.
High level of availability and failure protection
When accessing stored data, 1-bit-errors in the main memory are automatically recognized and
corrected (EDC = Error Detection and Correction). The patented memory scrubbing function regularly
starts up the EDC mechanism and thus ensures continuous data integrity. ASR&R tunes out
defective system components during an automatic system reboot. The Prefailure Detection and
Analyzing Technology reports the threat of system errors or problems to the system administrator so
that preventative measures can be taken. The optional disk array controller increases system
availability and supports the RAID levels 0, 1 and 5. The hot-replace-capable hard disks provide
additional protection.
Server management
Server management is implemented with the aid of the supplied ServerView software and PDA
(Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Siemens. The PDA analyzes and
monitors all components relevant to system reliability, thus enabling early detection of overload
situations and appropriate counter-measures.
ServerView enables the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network via a central console.
Here ServerView supports the following functions:
• Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area.
• Timer-controlled switch-on (Timer)
• Remote switch-on (Ring Indicator)
• Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R) in the event of
failure of memory modules or processors.
• Pager message when rebooting system following an error
• Monitoring ISA and PCI bus loading
• End-of-Life monitoring of the fans with timely indication before failure
• Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring
• Detailed status and error reports for bus systems, processors and main memory
• Statistics for service technicians (operating hours counter, counter for switch-on/switch-off
cycles)
• Storage of 50 error messages in the non-volatile SRAM memory
Further information on the ServerView server management is provided in the associated
documentation.
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 systems.
Service and Support
PRIMERGY devices are service-friendly and modular, thus enabling quick and simple maintenance.
The flash EPROM program supplied with the Fujitsu Siemens utilities supports fast BIOS update.
With the optional Remote Test and Diagnosis System RemoteView, long-distance maintenance and
service (remote) can also be performed on the servers of the PRIMERGY 400 series.
