1 Introduction
The PRIMERGY RX300 S3 server is an Intel-based server for mid-size
networks and large companies. The server is suitable for use as a file server
and also as an application, information or Internet server.
The PRIMERGY RX300 S3 server offers a high level of reliability and availability
through highly developed hardware and software components. These include
hot-plug hard disk drive modules, redundant CPU fans, system fans and power
supply units, and hot-plug PCI slots, the ServerView Suite server management
software, „Prefailure Detection and Analysing“ (PDA) and „Automatic Server
Reconfiguration and Restart“ (ASR&R).
Security functions in the BIOS Setup and on the system board protect the data
on the server against manipulation. Additional security is provided by the
lockable rack door.
The rack model occupies 2 height units (HU) in the rack.

Options and upgrade Introduction
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 FBD533/PC2-4200F or
FBD667/PC2-5300 Fully Buffered DIMM memory modules. The organization in
two memory banks, 1 and 2 with 4 memory modules each, permits rapid
memory access with four-way interleaving.
Memory modules must always be incorporated in pairs.
ROMB (RAID on motherboard)
The System is extended with an on board Intel I/O processor. If the controller is
activated, it supports RAID Level 0, 1, 10, 5 and 50. "MegaRaid PCI Express™
ROMB" can be activated with two different upgrading kits.
Additional accessible drives
One 5.25-inch bay and one 3,5-inch bay are available for accessible drives.
The 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.
Only for a 3.5“ HDD variant a tape drive can be installed optionally in the left
drive cage (see also the configurator under “Related publications” on
page 117). Two mounting locations are occupied as a result in the drive cage
which are then no longer available for HDD modules.
