Before reading this manual
For your safety
This manual contains important information for safely and correctly using this
product.
Carefully read the manual before using this product. Pay particular attention to
the accompanying manual "Safety Notes and Regulations" and ensure these
safety notes are understood before using the product. Keep this manual and the
manual "Safety Notes and Regulations" in a safe place for easy reference while
using this product.
Radio interference
This product is a "Class A" ITE (Information Technology Equipment). In a
domestic environment this product may cause radio interference, in which case
the user may be required to take appropriate measures. VCCI-A
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors
The aluminum electrolytic capacitors used in the product's printed circuit board
assemblies and in the mouse and keyboard are limited-life components. Use of
these components beyond their operating life may result in electrolyte leakage
or depletion, potentially causing emission of foul odor or smoke.
As a guideline, in a normal office environment (25°C) operating life is not
expected to be reached within the maintenance support period (5 years).
However, operating life may be reached more quickly if, for example, the product
is used in a hot environment. The customer shall bear the cost of replacing
replaceable components which have exceeded their operating life. Note that
these are only guidelines, and do not constitute a guarantee of trouble-free
operation during the maintenance support period.
High safety use
This product has been designed and manufactured for general uses such as
general office use, personal use, domestic use and normal industrial use. It has
not been designed or manufactured for uses which demand an extremely high
level of safety and carry a direct and serious risk to life or body if such safety
cannot be ensured.

OptionsGuide TX300 S6
These uses include control of nuclear reactions in nuclear power plants,
automatic airplane flight control, air traffic control, traffic control in mass
transport systems, medical devices for life support, and missile guidance control
in weapons systems (hereafter, "high safety use"). Customers should not use
this product for high safety use unless measures are in place for ensuring the
level of safety demanded of such use. Please consult the sales staff of Fujitsu if
intending to use this product for high safety use.
Measures against momentary voltage drop
This product may be affected by a momentary voltage drop in the power supply
caused by lightning. To prevent a momentary voltage drop, use of an AC
uninterruptible power supply is recommended.

TX300 S6 Options Guide 11
1 Preface
With top dual processor performance, the PRIMERGY TX300 S6 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 S6 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 S6 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
(honeycomb 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 S6 can also be converted quickly and easily into a
space-saving rack system that only takes up 4 height units (HU).

Expansions and conversions Preface
1.3 Expansions and conversions
Main memory
The system board offers 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.
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.
Accessible drives
Three 5.25-inch bays are available for accessible drives.
You can use these bays as follows:
– You can install DVD drives or magnetic tape drives.
– You can install a Multibay 1 in the bottom bay. The Multibay 1 offers bays for
a slimline DVD drive and a ServerView Local Service Panel (LSP) or a
ServerView Local Service Display (LSD).
– In the two lower bays, you can install a Multibay 2. The Multibay 2 offers bays
for two additional 3.5-inch hard disk drives, a slimline DVD drive and a
ServerView Local Service Panel (LSP) or a ServerView Local Service
Display (LSD).
– You can install a Multibay 1 in the bottom bay (see above) and an HDD
extension box for 2.5-inch SAS hard disk drives in the two upper bays.

TX300 S6 Options Guide 15
Preface Expansions and conversions
LSD/LSP
The system board supports the CSS (Customer Self Service) functionality
(description see the Operating Manual). You can install a ServerView Local
Service Display (LSD) or ServerView Local Service Panel (LSP) for an easier
identification of the defective components.
Additional expansion cards in the PCI Express slots
The system board offers seven PCI Express slots. Slots 1-5 are connected as
x4 interfaces, whereby slot 3 and slot 5 are used as x8 interfaces if slot 2 and
slot 4 are empty.
I Slot 1 is the preferred slot for the SAS/SATA RAID controller (bootable).
Slot 5 and slot 7 allow the mechanical installation of x16 PCIe expansion
cards. The bus width is restricted to 8 lanes.
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.
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
"D2619-N BIOS Setup Utility for PRIMERGY RX300 S6 and TX300 S6"
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.

16 OptionsGuide TX300 S6
Notational conventions Preface
– 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.
USB Flash Module (UFM)
The server can be equipped with a USB Flash Module (UFM).
This module can be used as optional memory for software (e.g. VMware) or as
a software dongle.
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.
1.4 Notational conventions
