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

Options Guide RX300 S6
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, use of an AC
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.)

RX300 S6 Options Guide 11
1 Preface
The PRIMERGY RX300 S6 rack server is a universal and high-performance
platform designed for a whole range of application areas in data center and
server farm concepts. The system was developed specifically for configurations
with multiple servers (clusters), front-end solutions, e-commerce applications
and ERP solutions. The PRIMERGY RX300 S6 is ideal for applications and
operational areas that require maximum scalability, performance and
availability in a space-saving rack cabinet.
The PRIMERGY RX300 S6 offers a balanced architecture that incorporates
next generation main memory (DDR3) and I/O technologies (PCIe Gen2). The
backplanes for 6*3.5",8*2.5" and 12*2.5"hard disk drives are already provided
for SAS 2.0 and 6 Gbit/s SAS and the chipset prepared for the next generation
of 6-core processors. High performance, scalability, impressive reliability and
excellent extension options are combined in a powerful design.
The Cool-safe™ cooling concept with improved air flow cooling technology
(honeycomb design) ensures the highest possible performance of the
processors at work; at the same time, the system is extremely reliable thanks to
the reduced heat dissipation.
The server occupies just two height units (HU) in the rack.
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.

Preface
1.3 Expansions and conversions
Main memory
The system board offers 18 slots for memory modules. 9 memory slots can be
used in mono processor configurations.
ECC with memory scrubbing and the Single Device Data Correction (SDDC)
function is standard.
There are three modes of operation for the main memory:
– Independent Channel Mode / Performance Mode (recommended)
– Mirrored Channel Mode
– Spare Channel Mode
Depending on the mode of operation there are different population
requirements.
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. That means the number of
the internal processor cores as well as the primary clock and the FSB frequency
have to be the same. For dual operation, use a suitable multiprocessor
operating system.
Accessible drives
A number of mounting locations are available:
– one bay for a ServerView Local Service Panel (optional) or a ServerView
Local Service Display (optional)
– one bay for a slimline optical drive (option)
IThe accessible drives integrated in these bays cannot be replaced during
operation.
In a 6x 3.5" or 8x 2.5" HDD configuration, a USB magnetic tape drive or a USB
RDX drive can be optionally installed in the right drive cage.
IIn a 6x 3.5" HDD configuration, two bays are occupied in the drive cage.
These bays are no longer available for HDD modules.
The magnetic tape drive or the RDX drive cannot be replaced during
operation.

RX300 S6 Options Guide 15
Preface
LSD/LSP
The system board supports the CSS (Customer Self Service) functionality
(description see the Operating Manual). You can install a ServerView Local
Service Display (LSD) or ServerView Local Service Panel (LSP) for an easier
identification of the defective components.
Additional expansion cards in the PCI Express slots
The system board offers seven PCI Express slots. Slots 1-5 are connected as
x4 interfaces, whereby slot 3 and slot 5 are used as x8 interfaces if slot 2 and
slot 4 are empty.
ISlot 1 is the preferred slot for the SAS/SATA RAID controller (bootable).
Slot 5 and slot 7 allow the mechanical installation of x16 PCIe expansion
cards. The bus width is restricted to 8 lanes.
Battery Backup Unit
A Battery Backup Unit (BBU) backs up the memory contents of the SAS/SATA
RAID controller in the event of a power failure. One BBU can be installed for
each SAS/SATA RAID controller (max. 2 BBUs can be installed in one system).
T-handles on the front cover
The T-handles can be installed optionally.
IIn the figures of this manual the option T-handles is installed.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
A Trusted Platform Module (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 system (for more information, refer to the
"D2619-N BIOS Setup Utility for PRIMERGY RX300 S6 and TX300 S6"
manual).
VCAUTION!
– When using the TPM, note the program descriptions provided by the
third party manufacturers.

16 Options Guide RX300 S6
Preface
– You must also create a backup of the TPM content. To do this, follow
the third party manufacturer's 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.
USB Flash Module (UFM) (option)
The system board is equipped with a UFM slot by the manufacturer.
IThe "internal USB stick" and the "UFM" slots must not be used in parallel.
Either an internal USB stick or a UFM may be used.
