1 Preface
The PRIMERGY RX800 S2/S3 server system offers unique performance
density by packing up to four Intel®Xeon™ MP dual-core processors into a 3-
height (3U) building block (node).
Each node offers 6 PCI-X 2.0 slots and is equipped with a CD/DVD drive and
up to 6x2,5" hot-plug SAS hard disks. Full redundancy for power supplies and
fans as well as phase redundancy for AC line input is supported. Hard disks,
memory cards, fans units, power supply units, and PCI adapters are hot-
pluggable. All hot-plug operations are described in the Operating Manual.
Each node is either a base unit or an extension unit. Both units can be
combined to form an 8-way (6U) configuration. By combining two 8-way config-
urations, a 16-way (12U) configuration with four nodes can be assembled. The
assembly procedure is described in the Operating Manual.
Generally speaking, base unit and extension unit upgrade and conversion is
done in the same way. However, there are exceptions to this rule which are
explained in the appropriate chapter(s).
1.1 Documentation overview
IPRIMERGY manuals are available in PDF format on the ServerBooks CD,
which is part of the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite provided with each
server system.

Preface Extensions and conversions
1.2 Extensions and conversions
Main memory
In the basic configuration (base/extension unit), two memory cards are supplied
with either 2 GB or 4 GB of memory installed in memory card A.
The system board offers four hot-plug memory cards (A to D) slots, each of
which can accommodate up to four DIMMs (in two memory banks each). The
slots are suitable for DDR RAM PC2-3200 ECC DIMMs with 2 GB or 4 GB
capacity, depending on the type of memory. Thus, each node supports up to 32
GB (64 GB) of system memory.
No mixing of DIMM types is allowed within one memory bank. Memory mirroring
is only possible if DIMM types are identical between mirrored memory banks.
Memory upgrade/exchange with the server switched off is described in chapter
“Main memory” on page 25.
IThe hot-plug memory card exchange and upgrade procedure is
described in the Operating Manual.
Processors
In the basic configuration (base/extension unit), the system comes with two
microprocessors. You can install up to four microprocessors to further enhance
performance and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) capability.
You may only use processors of the same type on the system board. All
processors must have the same frequency and cache size.
Processor upgrade/exchange is described in chapter “Processors” on page 31.
Accessible drives
The basic configuration (base/extension unit) includes a CD/DVD drive.
However, this drive is disabled in the extension unit of an 8-way configuration.
IIn 16-way configuration, only one CD/DVD drive is operable.
No built-in accessible drives are available. Therefore, additional drives must be
plugged in via the USB port. This can be done while the system is up and
running.

SAS/RAID adapters
In addition to the six standard PCI slots, a dedicated PCI slot is reserved for the
ServerRAID-8i RoMB adapter (controller).
By default, the base unit has a ServeRAID-8i adapter installed to handle up to
six hard disk drives. This adapter works in conjunction with the onboard SAS
controller.
In the extension unit, a ServeRAID-8i adapter is optionally available. However,
in a multi-node configuration, a maximum of two adapters is allowed to handle
up to 12 hard disk drives.
IIn a 16-way configuration, a ServeRAID-8i adapter is installed in both
base units. Consequently, no more optional adapters are allowed for any
of the two extension units.
ServeRAID-8i upgrade is described in chapter “Adapters” on page 41.
IAn BBU (Battery Backup Unit) is integrated in the ServeRAID-8-i adapter
to protect its memory contents in the event of a power failure. Lithium
battery exchange is described in the Service Supplement.

mechanical properties of a CD/DVD and cause imbalance.
Damaged and imbalanced CDs/DVDs can break at high drive speeds
(data loss).
Under certain conditions, sharp-edged pieces of broken CDs/DVDs
can penetrate the cover of the drive (cause damage to the device)
and be thrown out of the device (therefore causing injury to
uncovered body parts, particularly the face or neck).
ITo protect the CD/DVD drive and prevent mechanical damage as well as
premature wearing of the CDs/DVDs, you should observe the following
advice:
– Only insert the CDs/DVDs in the drive when needed and remove
them after use.
– Store the CDs/DVDs in suitable sleeves.
– Protect the CDs/DVDs from exposure to heat and direct sunlight.
Note on the laser
The CD/DVD drive is classified as Laser Class 1, according to IEC 60825-1.
VCAUTION!
The CD/DVD drive contains a light-emitting diode (LED) which may
