1 Introduction
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
PRIMERGYTX120 S2serveroffersahighlevel ofdatasecurityandavailability.
These include hot-plug HDD modules, the ServerView server management
software, 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.

ENERGY STAR Introduction
1.1 ENERGY STAR
1.2 Concept and target groups
This Options Guide shows you how to extend and upgrade your server.
VCAUTION!
The activities described in this manual may only be performed by
technical specialists.
IThe installation and removal of the hot-plug components is described in
the Operating Manual supplied with the server.
In some particular configurations1the PRIMERGY TX120 S2 is
equipped with a power management system which, in energy-
saving mode, reduces the power consumption to <65 W. The
server thus satisfies the requirements of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA).
The EPA estimates that computer systems use around 5 % of all
electricity in the office sector and that this figure is growing
rapidly. If all computer systems and peripherals were placed in
energy-saving mode when not in use, the overall savings in
electricity could amount to some US $ 2 billion annually. These
savings would also prevent the emission of 20 million tons of
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - equivalent to theemissions
from 5 million automobiles.
As an ENERGY STAR partner, Fujitsu Technology Solutions
GmbH has determined that in some particular configurations this
product meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy
efficiency.
1These servers are always delivered with a particular setting in the BIOS setup. For details
please see the manual “D2785 BIOS Setup Utility for PRIMERGY TX120 S2” on the
PRIMERGY ServerView Suite DVD 2.
