Features Introduction
1.2 Features
System board
The features of the system board are described in the technical manual for the
system board D2399 for the hardware and in the “BIOS Setup” for the firmware
(see “Literature” on page 103).
Hard disk drives
Two versions of the server are available:
SAS server variant:
The server has a drive bay in which up to four SAS disk drive modules can be
installed. Each hard disk drive module (HDD module) can accommodate a SAS
hard disk drive with a maximum height of 1 inch. The module is connected to
the SAS backplane without cables via the SAS interface. This allows hard disk
drive modules to be easily plugged in or pulled out.
SATA server variant:
The server has a drive bay in which up to four SATA disk drive modules can be
installed. Each hard disk drive module (HDD module) can accommodate a
SATA hard disk drive with a maximum height of 1 inch. The module is connected
to the SATA backplane without cables via the SATA interface. This allows hard
disk drive modules to be easily plugged in or pulled out.
The SAS hard disk drives are either controlled by the onboard SAS controller or
by an optional PCI zero channel RAID controller. The SATA hard disk drives are
either controlled by the onboard SATA controller or by an optional PCI SATA
RAID controller. If the server has a RAID configuration, the HDD modules can
be exchanged during operation (hot plugging).

TX150 S5 Operating Manual 9
Introduction Features
Onboard SAS controller with Integrated Mirroring Enhanced functionality
An eight-channel SAS controller with “Integrated Mirroring Enhanced” (IME)
functionality is provided to operate the four hard drives. IME also provides RAID
functionality for configuration of the internal hard drives (RAID level 1, 1E).
IA separate utility is available to the controller for IME configuration. For
further information, refer to the “Integrated RAID for SAS User’s Guide”
on the ServerBooks CD (select “Controllers” from the menu).
The RAID functionality can optionally be expanded with a corresponding PCI
expansion module (zero-channel RAID controller). In addition to RAID levels 0,
1 and 10, this controller also offers the option of configuring RAID-5 or RAID-50.
The ZCR controller uses the Onboard SAS controller using logic that is specially
integrated on the system board.
Onboard SATA controller
A four-channel SATA controller is integrated on the system board; up to four
SATA hard disk drives can be connected to the controller. The LSI SATA RAID
software supports RAID levels 0, 1 and 10.
IThe controller has its own configuration utility. More detailed information
may be found in the “LSI SATA Software RAID User’s Guide” manual (on
the ServerBooks CD under “Controller”).
An eight-channel PCI SATA RAID controller can optionally be used for
increased data security and availability of the SATA server variant. The PCI
SATA RAID controller supports RAID Level 5.
IThe controller has its own configuration utility. More detailed information
may be found in the “LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS Software User’s Guide”
manual (on the ServerBooks CD under “Controller”).

10 Operating Manual TX150 S5
Features Introduction
Accessible drives
The first (top) bay contains the server's DVD drive. The fourth (bottom) bay can
be used for a 3.5” disk drive (1.44 Mbyte).
The two middle 5.25” bays are available for additional usable drives (CD/DVD
drives or a magnetic tape drive). Alternatively, these two bays can be used to
install the HDD extension box (this is only possible for the SAS server variant).
The accessible drives cannot be replaced during operation.
Power supply
With the basic configuration, the server has a fixed power supply unit. One or
two redundant hot pluggable power supply units are available as an option. If a
power supply unit is defective, in a redundant configuration the other unit
ensures that the operation can continue with no interruptions. The defective
power supply unit can be replaced during operation (hot plugging). Both power
supply unit versions automatically adjust to a mains voltage in the range
100 V - 240 V.
High level of availability and data security
When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors in the main memory are identified
and automatically corrected with the ECC (Error Correcting Code) method.
ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in
case of an error and automatically “hides” the defective system components.
The PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Siemens
Computers analyzes and monitors all components that are critical for system
reliability.
Optional pluggable RAID controllers support different server RAID levels and
increase the availability and data security of the system.
The hot plug compatible HDD modules provide additional protection.

TX150 S5 Operating Manual 11
Introduction Features
Server management
Server management is implemented using the ServerView software supplied
combined with PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from
Fujitsu Siemens. PDA reports the threat of a system error or overload at an early
stage, allowing preventive measures to be taken.
ServerView enables all PRIMERGY servers in the network to be managed from
a central console. ServerView supports the following functions:
●Round-the-clock monitoring, regardless of server status
●High-performance, graphical console bypass (AVR) protected by
HTTPS/SSL (128 bit)
●Remote Storage via USB
●Remote power on (Wake On LAN)
●Intrusion detection
●Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area
●Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R)
in the event of failure of memory modules or processors
●Power monitoring
●End-of-life monitoring of fans with prompt notification before failure
●Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring
with ASR&R
Further information about ServerView server management is provided in the
associated documentation (see “Literature” on page 103).
ServerStart
The ServerStart software supplied allows you to configure your PRIMERGY
server quickly and purposefully. User-guided menus are available for installing
the server operating system.

12 Operating Manual TX150 S5
Features Introduction
Service and support
PRIMERGY servers are service-friendly and modular, enabling quick and easy
maintenance. The Flash EPROM program supplied with the Fujitsu Siemens
Computers utilities supports a fast BIOS update.
With the iRMC (integrated Remote Management Controller) on the system
board and the optional remote testing and diagnostic system RemoteView, the
PRIMERGY TX150 S5 server can also be maintained and serviced remotely.
This enables remote diagnosis for system analysis, remote configuration and
remote restart should the operating system or hardware fail.
RemoteView
RemoteView is the remote management solution from Fujitsu Siemens
Computers for Intel-based PRIMERGY systems. RemoteView and the relevant
hardware components integrated on the system board allow remote monitoring
and maintenance as well as fast restoration of operability 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.
The administrator can access all system information and information from the
sensors such as fan speeds, voltages etc. via a Web interface (iRMC Web
interface). He can also start the text-based or graphical console bypass
(Advanced Video Redirection, AVR) and obtain information about remote
storage.
RemoteView helps
●switch on/off the system remotely
●monitor systems and analyze the cause of faults
●prepare error resolution or to have this process initiated independently if
possible
●identify potential sources of error
●configure the system
●adjust system settings and initiate system restarts from a remote location
