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 that
these safety notes are understood before using the product. Keep this manual
and the "Safety Notes and Regulations" manual 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 printed circuit board
assemblies of the product 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).

Operating Manual RX2540 M5
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.
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, the use of an
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.)
Technology controlled by the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade
Control Law of Japan
Documents produced by Fujitsu may contain technology controlled by the
Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Law of Japan. Documents which
contain such technology should not be exported from Japan or transferred to
non-residents of Japan without first obtaining authorization in accordance with
the above law.
Harmonic Current Standards
This product conforms to harmonic current standard JIS C 61000-3-2.

3.2 Features
Customer Self Service (CSS)
The PRIMERGY Customer Self Service (CSS) concept enables you to identify
and replace the affected component yourself in the case of certain error
scenarios.
In the CSS concept, you can replace the following components yourself in the
event of an error:
– Hot-plug HDD/SSD modules
–Hot-plug PSUs
–Memory modules (not allowed in Japan)
–System fans
–Expansion cards (not allowed in Japan)
–Liquid cooling (not allowed in Japan)
For more information on replacing these components, see the "FUJITSU Server
PRIMERGY RX2540 M5 Upgrade and Maintenance Manual".
CSS indicators on the front panel and I/O panel of the PRIMERGY server
provide you with information if a CSS event arises.
In addition, CSS errors are displayed in the ServerView Operations Manager,
the server management software from Fujitsu.
In the event of errors, the ServerView Operations Manager refers you directly
to the affected component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares
catalog of the server in question. (This feature is not available for Japan.)
IMore information on the CSS concept is provided in the "PRIMERGY
ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC" manual on the Fujitsu
manuals server.
For the latest information on optional products provided for the
RX2540 M5, see the configurator tool of the server:

Product description
System board
The features of the system board are described in the "FUJITSU Server
PRIMERGY RX2540 M5 Upgrade and Maintenance Manual". The setup
possibilities are described in the "D3384 BIOS Setup Utility for FUJITSU Server
PRIMERGY RX2540 M5 Reference Manual".
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
A TPM for safer storage of keys can be implemented as an option. This module
enables programs from third party manufacturers to store key information (e.g.
drive encryption using Windows Bitlocker Drive Encryption).
The TPM is activated via the BIOS (for more information, see the “D3384 BIOS
Setup Utility for FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX2540 M5 Reference 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 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.
