RX330 S1 Operating manual 7
1 Introduction
The PRIMERGY RX330 S1 server is an AMD-based server for workgroups and
small networks. The server is suitable for use as a file server and also as an
application, information or Internet server.
Thanks to its highly developed hardware and software components, the
PRIMERGY RX330 S1 server offers a high level of data security and availability.
These components include hot-plug hard disk modules, redundant power
supply units, and the Server Management ServerView Suite, Prefailure Detection
and Analysing (PDA) and Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart
(ASR&R).
Security functions in the BIOS setup protect the data on the server against
manipulation. Additional security is provided by the lockable rack door.
The server occupies 2 height units (HU) in the rack.
1.1 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.

1.2 Features
System board
The features of the system board are described in the technical manual for the
system board D2440 for the hardware and in the “BIOS Setup” for the firmware
(see “Literature” on page 87).
Hard disk drives
The server includes two drive cages with up to six (2x3) SAS/SATA2 hard disk
modules. Each hard disk module can accommodate an SAS/SATA2 hard disk
drive with a maximum height of 1 inch. The module is connected to the
SAS/SATA2 backplane wirelessly. This allows hard disk drive modules to be
simply plugged in or pulled out (for further details see “Hot plug hard disk drives”
on page 73).
The hard disk subsystem is designed for SAS/SATA 2, each with one channel
for each hard disk drive.
If the server has the corresponding RAID configuration, HDD modules can also
be exchanged during operation.

10 Operating manual RX330 S1
Features Introduction
Onboard SAS controller with Integrated Mirroring Enhanced functionality
An onboard SAS controller with "Integrated Mirroring Enhanced" (IME) function-
ality is fitted to operate the six hard drives. IME also offers RAID functionality for
configuring the internal hard disk drives (RAID level 0, 1).
IA separate utility is available to the controller for IME configuration.
Further information can be found in the "Integrated RAID for SAS User’s
Guide" (on the ServerBooks DVD under "Controllers").
The RAID functionality can optionally be expanded with a corresponding PCI
expansion module (zero-channel RAID controller). In addition to RAID levels 0
and 1, this RAID controller also offers the option of configuring RAID 5. The ZCR
controller uses the Onboard SAS controller using logic that is specially
integrated on the system board.
Accessible drives
A 5.25 inch bay is available for a CD/DVD drive or a magnetic tape drive. The
accessible drive installed here cannot be replaced during operation.
USB port
The USB interface on the front of the server supports activities carried out by
the service technician. The maximum length of the external cable are three
meters.
Power supply
The basic configuration of the server includes a hot-plug power supply unit,
which automatically sets itself to a mains voltage in the range of 100 V - 127 V
or 200 V - 240 V. As an option, the power supply can be expanded with an extra
power supply unit to create a redundant power supply. If a power supply unit
fails, the redundant configuration assures continued operation. The defective
power supply unit can be replaced during operation (for further details see “Hot-
plug power supply units” on page 69).
High level of availability and data security
When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors in the main memory are identified
and automatically corrected with the ECC (Error Correcting Code) method. The
patented memory scrubbing function regularly starts up the EDC mechanism
and thus ensures continuous data integrity.
