SATA hard disk unit (SATA model)
The SATA hard disk that is installed in the SATA model is designed to be used about eight hours per day for five years
with small scale and comparatively low access frequency.
Refrain from using for mission-critical tasks in which continuous 24/7/365 operation is necessary, or database in which
the access is frequently repeated, and high reliability is required.
To prevent the loss of important data, regular data backup is recommended.

Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 RX200 S4
This server contains an [SAS model] which is where the SAS Ctrl is standardly
installed, and an [SATA model] which configures an array by using an onboard SATA
controller.
This server has the following features.
High reliability
Advanced memory protection function
The server supports the Single Device Data Correction (SDDC) function using PC2-5300F (DDR2-667)
compliant memory (Fully Buffered DIMM). Also, memory mirroring function and memory sparing
function are supported to enable data recovery in the event of a memory error.
Disk array system configuration
Both SAS models and SATA models can configure an array.
Also, a higher reliability array can be configured using the optional SAS RAID Ctrl (PG-248B/PG-
248C) for SAS model.
A failed hard disk unit can be replaced or repaired without turning off the server and peripheral devices
depending on the array configuration (a hot plug is supported in configurations other than RAID0).
Redundant function
The hard disk units, power supply units, and system fans support the redundant function.
A failed hard disk unit can be replaced or repaired without turning off the server and peripheral devices
when the array is configured (a hot plug is supported in configurations other than RAID0).
Adding an optional power supply unit enables the redundant function.
Hardware and software designed for data security
The locks on the rack and security (password) setting in the BIOS Setup Utility protect hardware and
data assets in the server against theft, ensuring data security with high reliability.
Proactive fan function
When a fan fails or the ambient temperature rises, the system fan speed is increased automatically to
avoid increase in temperature in the server, ensuring stable server operation.
Remote management control function
This server has a function of the onboard remote service board. By using the Remote Management
Control function, you can use the Web interface to power on/off or reset the server (remote control
function) and to monitor the server.
For details, refer to "Appendix D Remote Management Controller" (P. 257).

High reliability tools
There are various high reliability tools available, such as [ServerView], which observes the server state
and offers stable system operation. For information about high reliability tools, refer to "1.2.2 High
Reliability Tools" (P. 1 9) .
High-speed processing
Intel®Xeon®processors
The server can have up to two Intel®Xeon®processors for high-speed data processing (one processor in
standard servers).
PCI-Express
The server uses PCI-Express buses with a maximum data transfer speed per one lane and one direction
of 2.5Gbps, which provide high-speed data transferring.
Compact design and scalability
Space saving 1U design
This server is slim, with a thickness of 1U. The server, display device, keyboard, and external SCSI/SAS
options fit in a 19-inch rack, which saves the installation space.
Maximum memory size of 48GB
In addition to the preinstalled 1GB memory, the system has twelve memory slots for supporting up to
48GB memory.
Hard disk bay
Up to two internal hard disk units can be installed in the 3.5-inch storage bays. For SAS models, up to
four internal hard disk units can be installed in the 2.5-inch storage bays.
Internal DVD-ROM unit
One optional internal DVD-ROM unit can be installed.
Three PCI slots
The server has three PCI slots, including a PCI-Express x8 slot.

1.2 Supplied Software
The following software is supplied together with the server. ServerStart supports
setting up the system and high reliability tools prevent troubles while server system is
running.
1.2.1 Setup Support Tool - ServerStart
ServerStart is an initial setup support tool for PRIMERGY. It offers simple procedures for setup and
proper installation for recommended drivers.
Setting up with ServerStart
When performing the OS installation with ServerStart, drivers which are corresponding to the
automatically recognized expansion cards will be installed by ServerStart. In addition, high reliability
tools and array controller management tools are automatically installed. It prevents the related errors.
It is recommended to perform the OS installation with using ServerStart.

PRIMERGY RX200 S4 User's Guide
Some operations such as a license window and media replacements are required to be performed
manually.
High reliability tools are software with comprehensive strength for stable system operation of the
server management.
Merit with ServerStart Setup
Network configuration (only for Windows Server 2003)
ServerStart can configure a network on server installation. For details on available network patterns,
refer to "Using ServerStart to Configure the Network".
Automatic driver installation
This function installs the recommended drivers for such as automatically recognized expansion cards on
the server installation. It is preventative for mismatch driver installations, such as previous version or
incompatible drivers.
Automatic RAID configuration
Without RAID utility, disk array can be configured by specifying a RAID type and number of hard disk
unit.
