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 for general uses such as
general office use, personal use, domestic use and normal industrial use. It has
not been designed or manufactured for uses which demand an extremely high
level of safety and carry a direct and serious risk to life or body if such safety
cannot be ensured.

Operating Manual T X100 S2
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.

TX100 S2 Operating Manual 9
1 Preface
The PRIMERGY TX100 S2 server is an Intel-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 TX100 S2 server offers a high level of data security and availability.
Security functions in the BIOS-Setup and on the system board protect the data
on the server against manipulation. The supported RAID levels allow the hard
disk controllers to offer error tolerance, through data redundancy, for users who
want to provide complete protection for valuable data.
Its low noise level and high energy efficiency make it ideal for office
environments.
1.1 Concept and target groups for this manual
This operating manual describes how to install, set up and operate your server.
This operating manual is intended for those responsible for installing the
hardware and ensuring that the system runs smoothly. It contains all the
information you need to put your PRIMERGY TX100 S2 into operation.
To understand the various expansion options, you will need to be familiar with
the fields of hardware and data transmission and you will require a basic
knowledge of the underlying operating system.
The PRIMERGY TX100 S2 has a power management function
that reduces power consumption to <65 W in typical
configurations. The server thus satisfies the requirements of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - see section
"ENERGY STAR" on page 31.
