TX120 S2 Operating manual 7
1 Preface
The PRIMERGY TX120 S2 server is an Intel-based server for small and
medium-sized networks and can be used in the horizontal position or as a
desktop model.
The PRIMERGY TX120 S2 server features exceptionally low energy
consumption, very quiet running and a compact size. As a result, it is also the
ideal solution for home and small offices.
Thanks to its highly developed hardware and software components, the
PRIMERGY TX120 S2 server offers a high level of data security and availability.
This includes hot-plug HDD modules, the ServerView Operations Manager for
server management, Prefailure Detection and Analysing (PDA), and Automatic
Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R).
Security functions in the BIOS-setup protect the data on the server against
manipulation. Additional security is provided by the lockable drive cover.
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 infor-
mation you need to put your PRIMERGYTX120 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.

1.3 Features
System board
The features of the system board are described in the technical manual for the
system board D2785 for the hardware and in the BIOS Setup manual for the
firmware.
TPM (optional)
A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for safer storage of keys can be implemented
as an option. This module enables programs from third party manufacturers to
store key information (e.g. drive encryption using Windows Bitlocker Drive
Encryption).
The TPM is activated via the BIOS system (for more information, refer to the
Fujitsu Technology Solutions BIOS manual).
VCAUTION!
– When using the TPM, note the program descriptions provided by the
third party manufacturers.
– You must also create a backup of the TPM content. To do this, follow
the third party manufacturer's instructions. Without this backup, if the
TPM or the system board is faulty you will not be able to access your
data.
– If a failure occurs, please inform your service about the TPM
activation before it takes any action, and be prepared to provide them
with your backup copies of the TPM content.

10 Operating manual TX120 S2
Features Preface
Hard disk drives
The server has a drive cage in which up to 2 SAS/SATA HDD modules can be
inserted. Each HDD module can accommodate an SAS/SATA hard disk drive
with a 2.5-inch format. The module is connected to the SAS/SATA backplane
wirelessly. This allows HDD modules to be plugged in or pulled out easily.
SATA hard disk drives are controlled by the onboard SATA controller. An
additional SAScontroller must be installed to control SAS hard disk drives.
If the server has the corresponding RAID configuration, HDD modules can also
be replaced during operation.
A hard disk drive extension box can be installed optionally (with a maximum of
two HDD modules).
Onboard SATA controller
A 6-port 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 55.
