1.3 Features
Customer Self Service (CSS)
The Fujitsu Siemens Computers Customer Self Service (CSS) concept enables
you to identify and replace the affected component yourself in the case of
certain error scenarios.
In the CSS concept, you can replace the following components yourself in the
event of an error:
– Hot-plug hard disk drives
– Hot-plug power supply units
– Memory modules
– System fans
– Expansion cards
For information on replacing these components, see chapter “CSS compo-
nents” on page 91.
CSS indicators on the control panel and on the back of the PRIMERGY server
provide you with information if a CSS event arises (for more information on the
behavior of these indicators, see chapter “Important information” on page 23
and the "Customer Self Service (CSS)" manual on the ServerBooks DVD).
You can also fit your server with a ServerView Local Service Panel, which
enables you to identify the type of component affected by the error directly on
the server (for more information, see the "Customer Self Service (CSS)" manual
on the ServerBooks DVD).
In addition, CSS errors are displayed in ServerView S2, the server
management software from Fujitsu Siemens Computers.
In the event of errors, ServerView S2 refers you directly to the affected
component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares catalog of the
server in question.
System board
The features of the system board are described in the technical manual for the
system board D2559 for the hardware and in the “BIOS Setup” for the firmware.

TX150 S6 Operating Manual 11
Preface Features
TPM (optional)
The system board is optional equipped with a TPM (Trusted Platform Module)
by the manufacturer. This module enables programs from third party manufac-
turers 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 Siemens Computers 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.
Hard disk drives
The server is shipped with one of the following drive cages:
– For up to four 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drives:
Up to four SAS/SATA HDD modules can be used in the drive cage. Each
HDD module can accommodate an SAS/SATA hard disk drive with a
maximum height of 1 inch. The module is connected to the SAS/SATA
backplane wirelessly. This allows HDD modules to be plugged in or pulled
out easily.
A hard disk drive extension box can be installed optionally (with a maximum
of two SAS HDD modules).
SATA hard disk drives are controlled by the onboard SATA controller. An
additional SAScontroller must be installed to control SAS hard disk drives.
Mixed configurations of SAS and SATA HHDmodules in one drive cage are
not supported.

12 Operating Manual TX150 S6
Features Preface
– For up to eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drives:
Up to eight SAS HDD modules can be used in the drive cage. Each HDD
module can accommodate an SAS hard disk drive with a 2.5-inch format.
The modules are connected to the SAS backplane wirelessly. This allows
HDD modules to be plugged in or pulled out easily.
The SAS hard disk drives are controlled by an integrated SAS PCI controller.
If the server has the corresponding RAID configuration, HDD modules can also
be replaced during operation.
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 SATA RAID software
supports RAID levels 0 and 1.
IThe controller has its own configuration utility. More detailed information
may be found in the "LSI SATA Software RAID User’s Guide" (on the
ServerBooks DVD under "Controllers").
If required, RAID-Level 5 can be added to the RAID functionality using an
activation key. If the server is ordered with this RAID option, the activation key
is included on the system board by the manufacturer. As a result, RAID levels
0, 1 and 5 are available.
PCI SAS controller
To run a maximum of eight SAS hard disk drives, the server is shipped with one
of the following PCI SAS controllers:
– PCI SAS controller with "Integrated Mirroring Enhanced" (IME)
IME supports RAID level 0, 1 and 1E configuration of the internal hard disk
drives.
IThe controller makes a separate utility available for IME configuration.
Further information is included in the "Integrated RAID for SAS User’s
Guide" (on the ServerBooks DVD under "Controllers").

TX150 S6 Operating Manual 13
Preface Features
– PCI SAS controller with MegaRAID functionality
RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6 and 60 are supported. As an option, a battery
backup unit (BBU) can save the memory content even if the power fails.
IThe controller makes a separate utility available for RAID configu-
ration. For further information, refer to the “SAS/SATA Controller
MegaRAID 1064 / 1068 / 1078 Installation Guide” on the Server-
Books DVD (select “Controllers” from the menu).
Accessible drives
A 3.5-inch bay can hold a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive (1.44 Mbyte).
Three 5.25-inch bays are available for additional accessible drives:
– The individual bays can be equipped with CD/DVD drives or magnetic tape
drives.
– Alternatively, two of these bays can be used to install a HDD extension box
(only for 2.5-inch SAS hard disk drives).
– An individual bay can be equipped with a slimline CD/DVD drive. A
ServerView Local Service Display or a ServerView Local Service Panel can
also be installed.
The accessible drives cannot be replaced during operation.
Power supply
In the basic configuration, the server has a fixed power supply unit. One or two
redundant hot-plug 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 without interrupting operation. Both power supply unit
versions automatically adjust to a mains voltage in the range 100 V - 240 V.

14 Operating Manual TX150 S6
Features 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.
ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in
the event of an error and automatically "hides" the defective system compo-
nents.
The PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analysis) technology from Fujitsu Siemens
Computers analyzes and monitors all components that are critical for system
reliability.
A RAID controller supports different RAID levels and increase the availability
and data security of the system.
The hot-plug HDD modules provide additional protection.
iRMC S2 with integrated service LAN port
IThe features of the iRMC S2 Advanced Video Redirection and Remote
Storage are available as an option.
The iRMC S2 (integrated Remote Management Controller) is a BMC with
integrated service LAN port and expanded functionality that was previously only
available with additional plug-in cards. In this way, the iRMC S2 enables
complete control of PRIMERGY servers, regardless of system status, and thus
particularly the control of PRIMERGY servers that are in the “out-of-band”
system status.

associated documentation.
ServerStart
You can configure the PRIMERGY server quickly and precisely with the
ServerStart software provided. User-guided menus are available for installing
the server operating system (for further details see section section “Configuring
the server” on page 78).
Service and support
PRIMERGY servers are easy to maintain and modular, thus enabling quick and
simple maintenance.
The handles and locks (touch point) on the various hot pluggable 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 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 S6 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.
ServerView Remote Management
ServerView Remote Management is the remote management solution from
Fujitsu Siemens Computers 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.
