TX300 S5 Options Guide 7
1 Preface
With top dual processor performance, the PRIMERGY TX300 S5 tower server
is an all-purpose server for medium sized companies and branches of large
enterprises. The system is ideal for use as a versatile business server for
business critical applications and dedicated tasks. Thanks to internal SAS/SATA
hard disk capacity of up to 6 or 8 TB, the PRIMERGY TX300 S5 is also suitable
for use as a platform for highly data intensive solutions. Furthermore, it is the
ideal solution for smaller mySAP installations and directory or cache services in
medium sized and large companies.
The PRIMERGY TX300 S5 offers a balanced architecture that incorporates
next generation main memory (DDR3) and I/O technologies (PCIe Gen2). The
HDD backplane is already provided for SAS 2.0 and 6 Gbit/s SAS and the
chipset prepared for the next generation of 6-core processors. High
performance, scalability, impressive reliability and excellent extension options
are combined in a powerful design.
The Cool-safe™ cooling concept with improved air flow cooling technology
(comb design) ensures the highest possible performance of the processors at
work; at the same time, the system is extremely reliable thanks to the reduced
heat dissipation.
The new PRIMERGY TX300 S5 can also be converted quickly and easily into a
space-saving rack system that only takes up 4 height units (HU).
1.1 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.

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.
