RX300 S4 Options Guide 7
1 Introduction
The PRIMERGY RX300 S4 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 S4 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 PCI slots, the ServerView Suite server management software,
„Prefailure Detection and Analysing“ (PDA) and „Automatic Server Reconfigu-
ration 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.
1.1 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.
1.2 Documentation overview
IPRIMERGY manuals are available in PDF format on the ServerBooks
DVD. The ServerBooks DVD is part of the ServerStart Suite supplied with
every server.
The PDF files of the manuals can also be downloaded free of charge
from the Internet. The overview page showing the online documentation
available on the Internet can be found using the URL:
http://manuals.fujitsu-siemens.com. The PRIMERGY server documentation
can be accessed using the Industry standard servers navigation option.

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.

10 OptionsGuide RX300 S4
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
