Customer Self Service (CSS)
The Fujitsu Technology Solutions 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
– Hot-plug system fan
– Expansion cards
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 the operating manual and the "PRIMERGY
ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC" manual on the PRIMERGY
ServerView Suite DVD 2).
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 "PRIMERGY ServerView Suite Local
Service Concept - LSC" manual on the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite DVD 2).
In addition, CSS errors are displayed in the ServerView Operations Manager -
the server management software from Fujitsu Technology Solutions.

In the event of errors, the ServerView Operations Manager refers you directly to
the affected component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares
catalog of the server in question.
Second processor
The system board can be upgraded with a second processor. Only processors
of the same type may be used on the system board. That means the number of
the internal processor cores as well as the primary clock and the FSB frequency
have to be the same. For dual operation, use a suitable multiprocessor
operating system.
Main memory expansion
The system board has 18 slots for memory modules. 9 memory slots can be
used in mono processor configurations.
ECC with memory scrubbing and the Single Device Data Correction (SDDC)
function is standard.
There are three modes of operation for the main memory:
– Independent Channel Mode / Performance Mode (recommended)
– Mirrored Channel Mode
– Spare Channel Mode
Depending on the mode of operation there are different population
requirements.

TX300 S5 Options Guide 11
Preface Expansions and conversions
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
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.
Additional accessible drives
The server has three 3.5-inch bays.
You can use these bays as follows:
– You can equip the individual bays with DVD drives or magnetic tape drives.
– You can install the Multibay 1 in the bottom bay. The Multibay 1 has bays for
a Slimline DVD drive and the ServerView Local Service Panel (LSP) or the
ServerView Local Service Display (LSD).
– In the two lower bays, you can install the Multibay 2. The Multibay 2 has bays
for two additional 3.5-inch hard disk drives, a Slimline DVD drive and the
ServerView Local Service Panel (LSP) or the ServerView Local Service
Display (LSD).
– You can install the Multibay 1 in the bottom bay (see above) and the
expansion box for 2.5-inch SAS hard disk drives in the two upper bays.

Additional expansion cards in the PCI Express slots
The system board has seven PCI Express slots. Slots 1-5 are connected as x4
interfaces, whereby slots 3 and 5 are used as x8 interfaces if slots 2 and 4 are
empty. Slots 6 and 7 are connected as x8 interfaces.
ISlot 1 is the preferred slot for the SAS/SATA RAID controller (bootable).
Slots 5 and 7 allow the mechanical installation of x16 PCIe expansion
cards. The bus width is restricted to 8 lanes.
RAID key
The SATA SW RAID 5 functionality will be activated by installing a license key
(RAID key) on the SAS/SATA controller.
Battery Backup Unit
A Battery Backup Unit (BBU) backs up the memory contents of the SAS/SATA
RAID controller in the event of a power failure. One BBU can be installed for
each SAS/SATA RAID controller. A maximum of three BBUs can be installed for
each system.
Conversion from a floorstand model to a rack model
The floorstand model can be converted into a space-saving rack system that
only takes up 4 height units (HU). The server can thus be installed in any typical
rack systems.
ServerView Local Service Panel or Display
The system board supports the CSS (Customer Self Service) functionality (see
the operating manual and the "PRIMERGY ServerView Suite Local Service
Concept - LSC" manual). You can install a ServerView Local Service Panel
(LSP) or a ServerView Local Service Display (LSD) for an easier identification
of the defective components.
