1.2 Features
System Board
The features of the system board (D1651) are described in the technical manual
for the system board in relation to the hardware and in the BIOS setup manual for
the firmware (see “Related publications” on page 103).
Hot-Plug PCI Slots
In addition to two standard PCI slots, the server also comprises five hot-plug
PCI slots (for one PCI-X board and four PCI Express boards) that allow boards
to be installed and removed online, assuming the operating system supports
this functionality (for further information see section “Hot-plug PCI Boards” on
page 84).
Hard Disk Drives
The server has a drive bay that can each accommodate up to five ULTRA 320-
SCSI hard disk drive modules. Each hard disk drive module (HDD module) can
accommodate a SCSI hard disk drive with an SCA (Single Connector
Attachment) interface and a maximum height of 1 inch. The module is
connected to the SCSI backplane without cables via the SCA interface. This
allows hard disk drive modules to be simply plugged in or pulled out (for further
details see section “Hot-plug Hard Disk Drives” on page 74).
The hard disk drive system is designed for Ultra3 SCSI and is operated using
two channels with three (channel A) and two (channel B) hard disk drives each.
The hard disk drives can either be operated in "pure" SCSI mode by the
onboard controller (see “SCSI Controller” on page 5) or by an additional RAID
controller (see “MegaRAID RoMB Controller” on page 5).
With a RAID controller and the corresponding RAID configuration, defective
HDD modules may be replaced while the system is running (hot-plug).
An external SCSI interface is also offered optionally to allow external storage
subsystems to be connected.

A3C40069794 5
Introduction Features
SCSI Controller
For operating internal hard disk drives or an internal magnetic tape drive, an
onboard 2-channel Ultra320 LSI SCSI controller is available. Alternatively, an
external storage subsystem (e.g. magnetic tape drive) may be connected to the
second channel at the rear of the server. If both channels are already being
used internally, an additional SCSI controller must be built into a PCI slot.
MegaRAID RoMB Controller
RAID functionality is assured by a MegaRAID controller which is configured as
"RAID on Mother Board" (RoMB) by default. If the server was ordered with the
RAID option, activation of the RoMB controller is performed "ex factory" by
means of an activation key on the system board. RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50 are
supported. The MegaRAID RoMB controller uses the onboard Ultra320 SCSI
controller by means of a logic specially integrated on the system board.
Optionally, a BBU is available for the RoMB controller to secure memory
contents in case of a power failure.
Accessible Drives/Components
Various mounting locations are available:
– one location with a LocalView module (standard)
– one location for a slimline CD or DVD drive (standard)
– one location for a SCSI 5,25-inch magnetic tape drive (option)
The accessible drives/components integrated in these locations cannot be
replaced while the system is up and running.
Power Supply
The server has two hot-plug power supply units that adjust automatically to any
power voltage in the range from 200 V - 240 V. Thus, redundancy of the power
supply is ensured. If one power supply unit fails, the second unit will maintain
uninterrupted operation. The defective power supply unit can be replaced online
(for further details see section “Replacing a Hot-plug Power Supply Unit” on
page 71).

Features Introduction

Ventilation
The server is cooled by means of four hot-plug system fans (redundant config-
uration). Two fans each are contained in one fan unit. Fan control is performed
via temperature sensors. If a sensor fails or is removed, the relevant system
fans run at maximum speed to ensure optimum hardware protection. If the
server cover is removed, all system fans are operated at maximum speed.
In case of a defective fan, uninterrupted operation is ensured. A defective fan
unit can be replaced online (for further details see section “Replacing a Hot-plug
System Fan Unit” on page 73).
High Level of Availability and Reliability
When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors in the main memory are recog-
nized and automatically corrected with the ECC (Error Correcting Code)
method. The patented memory scrubbing function regularly starts up the EDC
(Error Detection Code) mechanism and thus ensures continuous data integrity.
The memory modules used support Chipkill technology.
Support is likewise provided for hot-spare memory technology, in which a
memory bank is used like a replacement bank. If a memory module fails, the
bank with the defective memory is automatically deactivated and the
replacement bank is activated in its place (assuming it has been configured
appropriately in the BIOS). The deactivated memory bank is no longer used and
the faulty memory module can be replaced at the next opportunity. In order to
be able to use the hot-spare memory function, all occupied memory banks must
have an identical memory configuration.
Memory boards can be secured against failure either by memory mirroring (two
or four boards required) or by memory RAID (four boards required). Both
methods cannot be used simultaneously.
With the hot-plug function, memory boards may be replaced or added while the
system is up and running (see “Hot-plug Memory Boards” on page 80).
ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in
the case of an error and automatically "hides" the defective system compo-
nents.
The PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Siemens
Computers analyzes and monitors all components important for system
reliability.

A3C40069794 7
Introduction Features
In conjunction with the MegaRAID RoMB controller, the onboard Ultra320 SCSI
controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5 and 50, thus increasing system avail-
ability.
The hot-plug HDD modules, fan units, power supply units and PCI boards
provide additional security.
Server Management
Server management is implemented with the aid of the supplied ServerView
software and PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu
Siemens Computers. PDA reports early the threat of a system error or
overloading so that preventative measures can be taken.
ServerView enables the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network
via a central console. The following key features are supported among others
by ServerView in this context:
●Remote power-on (Wake On LAN)
●Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area
●Detailed status and error reports for bus systems, processors and main
memory
●Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R)
in the event of failure of memory modules or processors
●Power monitoring
●Early detection of a defective fan
●Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring
with ASR&R
Further information on ServerView server management is provided in the
associated documentation (see “Related publications” on page 103).
ServerStart
You can configure your PRIMERGY server quickly and purposefully with the
ServerStart software provided. User-guided menus are available for installing the
server operating system (for further details see section “Configuring the Server”
on page 59).

Service and Support
PRIMERGY servers are service-friendly and modular, thus enabling quick and
simple maintenance.
Handles and locks (touch points) which can be operated without tools are
colored green to ensure simple and immediate recognition (see also “Hot-plug
Components” on page 71).
With the LocalView module at the server front, the status of the important
system components can be monitored at any time without opening the casing.
For more information on LocalView, see “Related publications” on page 103.
Further information is provided with the diagnostic LEDs on the hot-plug compo-
nents (power supply units, fan units, PCI boards, memory boards, HDD
modules).
The Global Flash tool supplied with the Fujitsu Siemens Computers utilities
supports a fast BIOS update via the LAN port; local BIOS update is performed
via the USB port. The optional RemoteView remote test and diagnostics system
allows the PRIMERGY RX600 S2 server to be maintained from remote
locations.
RemoteView
RemoteView is the remote management solution from Fujitsu Siemens
Computers for Intel-based PRIMERGY systems. RemoteView and the relevant
hardware components integrated on the system board allow remote monitoring
and maintenance as well as fast restoration of operability in the event of errors.
With RemoteView you get an ample remote test and diagnosis package. Remote
monitoring and maintenance avoids time-consuming and costly on-site repairs
and reduces service costs. This leads to a reduction in the total cost of
ownership and an excellent return on investment for the remote management
solution.
