Before reading this manual
For your safety
This manual contains important information for safely and correctly using this
product.
Carefully read the manual before using this product. Pay particular attention to
the accompanying manual "Safety Notes and Regulations" and ensure these
safety notes are understood before using the product. Keep this manual and the
manual "Safety Notes and Regulations" in a safe place for easy reference while
using this product.
Radio interference
This product is a "Class A" ITE (Information Technology Equipment). In a
domestic environment this product may cause radio interference, in which case
the user may be required to take appropriate measures. VCCI-A
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors
The aluminum electrolytic capacitors used in the product's printed circuit board
assemblies and in the mouse and keyboard are limited-life components. Use of
these components beyond their operating life may result in electrolyte leakage
or depletion, potentially causing emission of foul odor or smoke.
As a guideline, in a normal office environment (25°C) operating life is not
expected to be reached within the maintenance support period (5 years).
However, operating life may be reached more quickly if, for example, the
product is used in a hot environment. The customer shall bear the cost of
replacing replaceable components which have exceeded their operating life.
Note that these are only guidelines, and do not constitute a guarantee of
trouble-free operation during the maintenance support period.
High safety use
This product has been designed and manufactured to be used in commercial
and/or industrial areas as a server.
When used as visual display workplace, it must not be placed in the direct field
of view to avoid incommoding reflections (applies only to TX server systems).
The device has not been designed or manufactured for uses which demand an
extremely high level of safety and carry a direct and serious risk of life or body
if such safety cannot be assured.

Operating Manual CX2550 M1
These uses include control of nuclear reactions in nuclear power plants,
automatic airplane flight control, air traffic control, traffic control in mass
transport systems, medical devices for life support, and missile guidance
control in weapons systems (hereafter, "high safety use"). Customers should
not use this product for high safety use unless measures are in place for
ensuring the level of safety demanded of such use. Please consult the sales
staff of Fujitsu if intending to use this product for high safety use.
Measures against momentary voltage drop
This product may be affected by a momentary voltage drop in the power supply
caused by lightning. To prevent a momentary voltage drop, use of an AC
uninterruptible power supply is recommended.
(This notice follows the guidelines of Voltage Dip Immunity of Personal
Computer issued by JEITA, the Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association.)

2 Functional overview
2.1 Features
This section provides information on the features and technical data of the
PRIMERGY CX2550 M1 Server Node. For information on key characteristics
and layout of the system board, see "FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY CX2550 M1
Server Node Upgrade and Maintenance Manual".
System board
The features of the system board are described in the "FUJITSU Server
PRIMERGY CX2550 M1 Upgrade and Maintenance Manual", the setup
possibilities are described in the "D3343 BIOS Setup Utility for FUJITSU Server
PRIMERGY CX2550 M1 Reference Manual".
Slots for expansion cards
The server node can be flexibly expanded with two expansion cards PCIe
3.0 x16 (via riser card).
Onboard SATA controller
A SATA controller is integrated on the system board; up to six SATA HDDs or
SSDs can be connected to the controller. The software (SATA Software RAID)
supports RAID levels 0 and 1.
For more information on configuring the controller, see section "Configuring the
SAS/SATA RAID controller" on page 46.
SAS/SATA RAID controller
The server node is available with the following SAS/SATA RAID controllers for
operating the internal SAS/SATA hard disk drives:
– RAID Ctrl., SAS/SATA 12 Gbit/s, Fujitsu PRAID CP400i, 8 ports int.
RAID level: 0, 1, 1E, 10, 5, No BBU support
– RAID 5/6 Ctrl., SAS/SATA 12 Gbit/s, Fujitsu PRAID EP420i, 8 ports int. RAID
level: 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, 60, 2 GB, Optional FBU based on LSI SAS3108
– RAID 5/6 Ctrl., SAS/SATA 12 Gbit/s, Fujitsu PRAID EP400i, 8 ports int.
RAID level: 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, 60, 1 GB, Optional FBU based on LSI SAS3108

12 Operating Manual CX2550 M1
Functional overview
IFor more information on configuring the controller, see section
"Configuring the SAS/SATA RAID controller" on page 46.
Further information on SAS/SATA RAID controllers is provided in the
"Modular RAID Controller Installation Guide" (on the Fujitsu manuals
server under x86 Servers - Expansion Cards - Storage Adapters - LSI SAS /
SCSI RAID Controllers).
Further information on other SAS/SATA RAID controllers (e.g. for
operating external SAS/SATA hard disk drives or tape drives) is available
on the Fujitsu manuals server under x86 Servers - Expansion Cards -
Storage Adapters - LSI SAS / SCSI RAID Controllers.
USB connectors
The two USB 3.0 connectors of the server node support activities carried out by
the service technician. The maximum length of the external cable are three
meters.
High level of availability and data security
When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors are identified in the main memory
and automatically corrected with the error correcting code (ECC) method.
A RAID controller supports different RAID levels and increase the availability
and data security of the system.
The hot-plug HDD modules provide additional availability.
iRMC S4 with integrated management LAN connector
The iRMC S4 (integrated Remote Management Controller) is a Baseboard
Management Controller (BMC) with integrated management LAN connector
and expanded functionality that was previously only available with additional
plug-in cards. In this way, the iRMC S4 enables complete control of PRIMERGY
servers, regardless of system status, and thus particularly the control of
PRIMERGY servers that are in the "out-of-band" system status.
Major functions supported by the iRMC S4 include the following:
● Browser access via iRMC S4´s own Web server
● Secure communication (SSH, SSL)
● Power Management for the managed server (depending on its system
status)
