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.
(This notice follows the guidelines of Voltage Dip Immunity of Personal
Computer issued by JEITA, the Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association.)

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.

1.3 Performance features
System board
The features of the system board are described in the technical manual for the
system board D2779 for the hardware and in the BIOS Setup manual for the
BIOS.
Slots for expansion cards
The server can be flexibly expanded via four slots:
– two PCIe Gen2 x8
– one PCIe Gen2 x4
– one PCI (32 Bit / 33 MHz; 3.3 V)
PCIe Gen2 doubles the bandwidth of currently existing PCIe busses and allows
improved system performance.
Hard disk drives
Up to four SATA hard disk drives, each with a maximum height of 1 inch, are built
into the drive rack. There is a wire connection to the controller.
The SATA hard disk drives are controlled by the onboard SATA RAID controller.
The optional SAS controller has to be plugged into one of the I/O slots.

12 Operating Manual T X100 S2
Preface
Onboard SATA controller
A SATA controller is integrated on the system board; up to four SATA hard disk
drives can be connected to the controller. The LSI Embedded MegaRAID
software (SATA Software RAID) supports RAID levels 0, 1 and 10.
For more information on configuring the controller, see section "Configuring the
onboard SATA controller" on page 51.
Optional SAS RAID controller
As an option you can order an SAS RAID controller.
Up to four SATA hard disk drives can be connected to this SAS RAID controller.
The embedded LSI MegaRAID software supports RAID levels 0, 1, 10, and
additional RAID levels 5 and 6 for SAS 1.0 and SAS 2.0.
Accessible drives
The first (top) bay contains the server's DVD drive.
The 5.25-inch bay below is available for one additional accessible drive
(CD/DVD drives or a magnetic tape drive).
The accessible drives cannot be replaced during operation.
Cooling
The efficient cooling system prevents high temperatures and results in lower fan
speed and less noise. The fans use less power.
Power supply
The server has a built-in power supply unit, which automatically sets itself to a
mains voltage in the range of 100 V - 240 V.

TX100 S2 Operating Manual 13
Preface
High level of availability and data security
When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors are identified in the main memory
and automatically corrected with the error correcting code (ECC) method. The
patented memory scrubbing function regularly starts up the EDC mechanism,
ensuring continuous data integrity.
The onboard SATA controller supports different RAID levels and increases the
availability and data security of the system.
Server management
Server management is implemented using the ServerView Operations Manager
software supplied from Fujitsu Technology Solutions.
The ServerView Operations Manager enables the management of all
PRIMERGY servers in the network via a central console. The ServerView
Operations Manager supports the following functions:
●Wake On LAN
●Monitoring of the ambient and CPU temperatures
●Monitoring of PCI bus loading
●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
●Watchdog timer for monitoring the operating system and applications with
ASR&R
Further information on the ServerView Operations Manager is provided in the
“ServerView Operations Manager - Server Management” User’s Guide (on the
ServerView Suite DVD 2 under Industry Standard Servers - Software -
ServerView Suite - Server Installation and Deployment).

Preface
ServerView Installation Manager
You can configure the PRIMERGY server quickly and precisely with the
ServerView Installation Manager software provided. User-guided menus are
available for installing the server operating system (for further details see
section "Configuring the server" on page 51).
Service and support
PRIMERGY servers are easy to maintain and modular, thus enabling quick and
simple maintenance.
All locks and touch points used to exchange components are colored green to
ensure simple and immediate recognition.
In order to prevent the components from being damaged by incorrect handling
when they are being installed and removed, the areas of all components that
can be touched without damaging them are also marked green.
The Flash EPROM program supplied with the Fujitsu utilities supports a fast
BIOS update.
