1 Introduction
The PRIMERGY RX300 S2 has been designed for multi-server configurations
(clusters), front-end solutions, e-commerce applications and ERP solutions.
The PRIMERGY RX300 S2 is outstanding for applications and fields of use that
demand maximum scalability, performance and availability in a space-saving
rack cabinet.
The PRIMERGY RX300 S2 offers very great expandability with up to 6 hard
disks for a rack server and takes up just 2 height units (U) in a 19-inch rack.
1.1 Overview of the documentation
IPRIMERGY manuals are available in PDF format on the ServerBooks
DVD which is supplied in the ServerView Suite package for every server
system.
These PDF files can also be downloaded free of charge from the
Internet: at http://manuals.fujitsu-siemens.com you will find an overview
page with the online documentation available on the Internet. You can go
to the PRIMERGY Server documentation by clicking on “industry standard
servers”.
Concept and target groups
This Options Guide shows you how you can expand and upgrade the server.
IThe Operating Manual for the server describes how you install/remove
the hot-plug components.
The activities described in this manual may only be performed by specialist
personnel with technical training.

RX300 S2 Options Guide 9
Introduction Options and upgrade
1.2 Options and upgrade
Second processor
The system board can be upgraded with a second processor. Only processors
of the same type may be used on the system board. The second processor must
have the same clock frequency and the same cache as the first processor.
Upgrading of the main memory
The eight slots for the main memory are suitable for PC2-3200 DDR DIMM
memory modules. The organization in four memory banks, 0 to 3, permits rapid
memory access with two-way interleaving.
Memory modules must always be incorporated in pairs. A memory bank must
always be equipped fully with the same type of memory modules.
ROMB (RAID on motherboard)
The System is extended with an on board Intel I/O processor. If the controller is
activated, the on-board 2 channel U320 SCSI-Controller supports RAID Level
0, 1, 10, 5 and 50 on both SCSI channels
"MegaRaid PCI Express™ ROMB" can be activated with two different
upgrading kits.
Additional accessible drives
One 3.25-inch bay and one 3,5-inch bay are available for accessible drives.
One 5.25-inch bay can be installed with a 3.5 inch x 0.5 inch floppy disk drive or
a LocalView module and the other bay can be installed with a 5.25-inch x 0,5
inch DVD-ROM drive.

10 OptionsGuide RX300 S2
Options and upgrade Introduction
LocalView module (alphanumeric system display)
The LocalView module provides you with the option of displaying system infor-
mation and hardware system faults alphanumerically. This is an intelligent
module with a micro-controller and its own memory, which functions indepen-
dently of the server system.
The LocalView module consists of an LCD display panel and a toggle switch,
both accommodated in a suitable mount. The mechanical mechanism used
allows the LCD display panel to be pulled out and flapped out. Further infor-
mation on operating the display modes are provided in the documentation on
the LocalView module.
Hard disk drives
the installation up to six HDD modules is possible. Each HDD module can
accommodate a SCSI hard disk drive with an SCA (Single Connector
Attachment) interface and a height of at most 1 inch. The connection to the
SCSI backplane is made without cables via the SCA interface. This makes it
simple to plug in or pull out the HDD modules. If the server has a RAID controller
and the corresponding RAID configuration, faulty HDD modules can also be
replaced while the system is operating.
Additional controllers in non-hot-plug PCI slots
The system board offers five PCI slots. Slots 1-3 are non-hot-plug PCI slots with
a PCI bus speed of 100 MHz. If slot 1 and slot 2 are not occupied, slot 3 can
work with the PCI bus speed of 133 MHz (IDoubleOP™).
PCI slots 4 and 5 are hot-plug PCI slots which can be equipped with controllers
that have hot-plug capability (the hot-plug PCI slots are described in the
Operating Manual).
Optional riser card
Optionally you can install a Riser card into slot 5, which can be equipped with 3
controllers. The bus speed is 100 MHz. Two slots (6 and 7) can be equipped with
short standard PCI controllers and slot 8 can be equipped with a full length full
height PCI controller.
