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.

4 Operating Manual TX100 S3 Core Edition
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.)

2 Functional overview
This section provides information on the features and technical data of the
PRIMERGY TX100 S3 Core Edition server. For information on key
characteristics and layout of the system board, see "System Board D3009 for
PRIMERGY TX100 S3"Technical Manual.
2.1 Features
Intel®Celeron®, Xeon®, Pentium®, or Core i3 processor
The server has an Intel®Celeron®, Xeon®, Pentium®, or Core i3 processor for
high-speed data processing.
System board
System board features are described in the "System Board D3009 for
PRIMERGY TX100 S3" Technical Manual.
Hard disk drives
The PRIMERGY TX100 S3 Core Edition server can accommodate up to four
SAS / SATA hard disk drives. By default, it comes equipped with two to four 3.5-
inch SATA hard disk drives.
Onboard SATA controller
The onboard SATA controller supports up to four SATA hard disk drives. The LSI
Embedded MegaRAID software (SATA Software RAID) supports RAID levels
0,1 and 10.
By default, two hard disk drives (drives 1 and 2) are combined into a RAID 1
array.
IConfiguring additional hard disk drives (drives 3 and 4) requires
ServerView RAID Manager. For further information, please refer to the
"ServerView Suite RAID Management" user manual, available on your
ServerView Suite DVD 2 or from the Fujitsu Technology Solutions
manuals server at http://manuals.ts.fujitsu.com.

16 Operating Manual TX100 S3 Core Edition
Functional overview
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.
Power supply
The server has a permanently installed power supply unit that adjusts
automatically to any mains voltage in the range 100 V - 240 V.
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.
ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in
the event of an error and automatically "hides" the defective system
components.
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:
●Round-the-clock monitoring, regardless of server status
●Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area
●Detailed status and error reports for processors and main memory
●Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R)
in the event that memory modules or processors fail
●Watchdog timer for monitoring the operating system with ASR&R
IFurther information on the ServerView Operations Manager is provided
in the associated documentation.

Functional overview
Maintenance and Recovery Manager
The Maintenance & Recovery DVD included with your PRIMERGY
TX100 S3 Core Edition server allows you to gather diagnostic information using
PrimeCollect and to recover or reset your server. For further information, please
refer to section "Recovering / resetting your server" on page 70.
Service and support
PRIMERGY servers are easy to maintain and modular, thus enabling quick and
simple maintenance.
The handles and locks (touch point) 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.
ServerView Remote Management
ServerView Remote Management is the remote management solution from
Fujitsu for PRIMERGY servers. ServerView Remote Management and the
relevant hardware components integrated on the system board allow remote
monitoring and maintenance as well as fast restoration of operation in the event
of errors.
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.
IUsing ServerView Remote Management features requires a client
computer connected to your server and running ServerView Operations
Manager.
