RX200 S3 Operating Manual 7
Introduction Features
1.2 Features
System board
The features of the system board (D2300) are described in the technical manual
for the system board in relation to the hardware and in the BIOS setup manual
(see “Literature” on page 89).
Hard disk drives
The server can accommodate two 3.5 inch or four 2.5 inch SAS/SATA hard disk
drive modules. Each hard disk drive module (HDD module) can accommodate
a SAS/SATA hard disk drive with a maximum height of 1 or 0.5 inch. The module
is connected to the SAS/SATA backplane without cables. This allows hard disk
drive modules to be simply plugged in or pulled out (for further details see
section “Hot-pluggable hard disk drives” on page 69).
The internal hard disk drives are controlled exclusively by the onboard SAS
controller.
If the server has a RAID configuration, the HDD modules can be exchanged
during operation (hot plugging).
Onboard SAS controller with IME functionality
The SAS controller is equipped with "Integrated Mirroring Enhanced" function-
ality for operating internal hard disks. "Integrated Mirroring Enhanced" also
provides RAID 0.1 functionality for configuring the internal hard disks
(IME Level 1).
ITo configure "Integrated Mirroring Enhanced", the controller has its own
RAIDSelect Utility. For further information, refer to the “Integrated
Mirroring User’s Guide” on the ServerBooks CD (select “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 and 1, this RAID controller also offers the option of configuring RAID 5.
The ZCR controller uses the Onboard SAS controller using logic that is specially
integrated on the system board.

8 Operating Manual RX200 S3
Features Introduction
Accessible drive
A mounting location is provided for a slimline CD/DVD ROM drive (optional) The
accessible drive installed here cannot be replaced during operation.
USB port
The two USB ports on the front of the device support activities carried out by the
service technician. The maximum length of the external cable are three meters.
Power supply
In its basic configuration, the server has a hot-pluggable power supply unit that
adjusts automatically to any power voltage in the range from 100 V to 240 V. As
an option, the power supply can be expanded with an extra power supply unit to
create a redundant power supply. If a power supply unit fails, the redundant
configuration assures continued operation. The defective power supply unit can
be replaced during operation (for further details see section “Hot-plug power
supply units” on page 67).
Cooling
Each processor has a heat sink. Further cooling for the installed processors is
provided by five fan units (redundant). If one fan in a redundant unit fails, the
system is able to continue operating without limitations. If a fan fails, it can be
replaced while the system is running (for further details see section “Replacing
a Hot-plug Fan” on page 78).
High level of availability and data security
When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors in the main memory are identified
and automatically corrected with the ECC (Error Correcting Code) method. The
patented memory scrubbing function regularly starts up the EDC mechanism
and thus ensures continuous data integrity.
The memory modules used support SDDC technology (Chipkill™), which also
increases the effectiveness of the monitoring and correction of memory errors.
Memory Mirroring is also supported (requires four or eight memory modules).
Memory Mirroring is roughly comparable to RAID level 1 for hard disk arrays.
Memory modules are protected against failure by mirroring. The basic configu-
ration requires four identical memory modules in two different banks.
ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in
case of an error and automatically "hides" the defective system components.

RX200 S3 Operating Manual 9
Introduction Features
The PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Siemens
Computers analyzes and monitors all components that are critical for system
reliability.
Optional RAID controllers support RAID Levels 0, 1 and 5 and increase system
availability.
Server management
Server management is implemented using the ServerView software supplied
combined with PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from
Fujitsu Siemens. PDA reports the threat of a system error or overload at an early
stage, allowing preventive measures to be taken.
ServerView enables the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network
via a central console. The following key features are supported among others
by ServerView in this context.
●Remote power on (Wake On LAN)
●Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area
●Monitoring of the utilization of the PCI buses
●Detailed status and error reports for bus systems, processors and main
memory
●Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R)
in the event of failure of memory modules or processors
●Power monitoring
●Early detection of a defective fan
●Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring
with ASR&R
Further information about ServerView server management is provided in the
associated documentation (see “Literature” on page 89).
ServerStart
The ServerStart software supplied allows you to configure your PRIMERGY
server quickly and purposefully. User-guided menus are available for installing
the server operating system (for further details see section “Configuring the
Server” on page 55).

10 Operating Manual RX200 S3
Features Introduction
Service and support
PRIMERGY servers are service-friendly and modular, thus enabling quick and
simple maintenance.
The handles and locks (touch point) of the different hot-plug components are
colored green to ensure simple and immediate recognition.
In order to avoid damage to components by incorrect handling when they are
being installed and removed, green highlighting also identifies the areas of all
components that can be touched without causing damage to the respective
component.
PRIMERGY diagnostic LEDs fitted on the system board show which component
on the board (memory module, CPU) is not functioning properly.
The Flash EPROM program supplied with the Fujitsu Siemens Computers
utilities supports a fast BIOS update.
With the iRMC (integrated Remote Management Controller) on the system
board and the optional remote testing and diagnostic system RemoteView, the
PRIMERGY RX200 S3 server can also be maintained and serviced remotely.
This enables remote diagnosis for system analysis, remote configuration and
remote restart should the operating system or hardware fail.
RemoteView
RemoteView is the remote management solution from Fujitsu Siemens
Computers for Intel-based PRIMERGY systems. RemoteView and the relevant
hardware components integrated on the system board allow remote monitoring
and maintenance as well as fast restoration of operability in the event of errors.
Remote monitoring and maintenance avoids time-consuming and costly on-site
repairs and reduces service costs. This leads to a reduction in the total cost of
ownership and an excellent return on investment for the remote management
solution.
