Introduction Options and upgrade
1.3 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
2x6 slots for main memory FBD PC2-4200 or FBD PC2-5300 fully buffered
DIMM memory modules with 512 MB, 1 Gbyte, 2 Gbyte and 4 Gbyte (single
rank).
Memory modules must always be incorporated in pairs.
The organization in six memory banks, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 with 2 memory
modules each, permits rapid memory access with four-way interleaving.
SAS RAID controller
The SAS RAID controller can be installed for operating internal hard disks.
RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6 and RAID 60 are supported..
SAS IME controller
The SAS-IME controller with Integrated Mirroring Enhanced functionality can be
installed for operating internal hard disks. Integrated Mirroring Enhanced also
provides RAID 0, 1, 1E functionality for configuring the internal hard disks.
Additional accessible drives
A number of mounting locations are available:
– one bay for a 3.5-inch slimline 1.44 MB floppy disk drive (optional) one
LocalView module (optional) or a CSS-LED module (optional)
– one bay for a slimline optical drive (optional)
IThe accessible drives integrated in these bays cannot be replaced during
operation.
In a 6x3,5 or a 6x2,5 HDD configuration, a USB magnetic tape drive or an RDX
drive can be installed in the left drive cage as an option. As a result, two bays
are occupied in the drive cage.

Options and upgrade Introduction
I– In a 6x3,5 HDD configuration these bays are then no longer available
for HDD modules.
– The magnetic tape drive or the RDX drive cannot be replaced during
operation.
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 open. Further information on
operating the display modes are provided in the documentation on the
LocalView module.
Customer Self Service (CSS)
The Fujitsu Siemens Computers 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 hard disk drives
– Hot-plug power supply units
– Hot-plug fans
– Memory modules
– Expansion cards
For information on replacing these components, see chapter „Hot-plug compo-
nents of the operating manual or the Options Guide for your Primergy RX300
S4 on the ServerBooks DVD.
CSS indicators on the control panel and on the back of the PRIMERGY server
provide you with information if a CSS event arises (for more information on the
behavior of these indicators, see operating manual and the "Customer Self
Service (CSS)" manual on the ServerBooks DVD).
You can also fit your server with a CSS Module which enables you to identify the
type of component affected by the error directly on the server (for more infor-
mation, see the "Customer Self Service (CSS)" manual on the

RX300 S4 Options Guide 11
Introduction Options and upgrade
ServerBooks DVD).
In addition, CSS errors are displayed in ServerView S2, the server
management software from Fujitsu Siemens Computers.
In the event of errors, ServerView S2 refers you directly to the affected
component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares catalog of the
server in question.
Hard disk drives
The server includes two drive cages for one of the following hard disk drive
configurations:
– 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drives: up to six (2x3) hard disk drive (HDD)
modules, each with a 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drive.
– 2.5-inch SAS hard disk drives: up to six (1x6) HDD modules, each with a 2.5-
inch SAS hard disk drive.
– 2.5-inch SAS hard disk drives: up to twelve (2x6) HDD modules, each with
a 2.5-inch SAS hard disk drive.
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 in chapter „Hot-plug components“ in the operating manual).
The hard disk subsystem is designed for SAS/SATA, each with one channel for
each hard disk drive.
If the server has a RAID configuration, the HDD modules can be exchanged
during operation (hot-swap).
IThe three basic configurations are variants and can not be converted into
an other variant in the field.
Additional controllers
The system board offers seven PCI slots. Slots 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 are PCI-e x4
slots. Slot 4 is a PCI slot with a PCI bus speed of 133MHz. If slot 2 or 5 are not
occupied, slot 3 or 6 can be used octuple.
Additional Battery module
Optionally you can install an additional battery for use with a PCI controller.
